You are likely scanning my profile and history because I said something in a tone that made you feel funny or angry. This is called being reactionary. You can overcome it.

  • I'm very sure that future generations are going to look at the way we use plastic currently the same way we look back at how asbestos and lead were used last century, but much, much bigger in scale and consequence.

  • That's a great story, I appreciate your sharing.

    I want our species to be judged by how far out of our way we go to help those who have no impact on our own lives, and how much we value even the smallest lives and the connection between us and other species even.

  • Just, wtf

  • Nobody actually cares about the racism anymore, it's just open now, the problem that we seem to have settled on in this society is the debate between if you're going to follow the rules or not, and the administration is most definitely attempting to signal to their base that they're still the "bad boys" and trying really hard to hold onto that segment. You're going to see a lot more signals like this as Trump gets closer to and closer to his end.

  • I'm actually delighted my pushback made you fly off the handle and spit incoherencies and ignore my points, it tells me I hit the right buttons.

    If my efforts at reminding people that we still have a future, hope and community and ways to fight oppression made you this mad, then it tells me all I need to know about what you're doing here and why. Have a good one.

  • Yah there people in here, on Lemmy of all places, making the argument for the stability of businesses.

    I feel the effort we put into the smallest acts of kindness is a much better measure of who and what we are as a species.

    I'm sure some of the folks responding in here may be on the spectrum or failing to express their arguments and reasoning in a neurotypical way, but for the rest, I hope they actually never learn what it feels like to be the entity depending on someone or something to save them for no reward to themselves. It's a rotten, hopeless feeling and the callousness that people embrace to justify allowing others to experience that, well that's a state that spreads quickly through our society when we allow it to fester. Always push back on heartlessness.

  • I remember passing a nuclear plant with cooling towers with my parents while traveling as a child, they pointed to the billowing steam coming out and said something about how the government is installing these plants to pump that radioactive gas into the air and "control" us.

    I grew up, looked back at it, realized how dumb they were.... but also realized how common that level of ignorance and contradictory thinking actually is, particularly in the US.

  • Rather than that, it’s a veiled NIMBY argument.

    It's entirely a narrative from capital forces being seeded into populations who would not have cared otherwise.

    There is so, so much money still in fossil fuel power generation, things like solar and wind challenge that monopoly, so certain politicians are paid to make a huge stink about it and seed the public with blatant lies and appeals to fake majority "Everyone hates the windmills folks, nobody likes 'em, they kill a TRILLION birds a year..." etc. etc.

    All that said, it works fantastically on the general public and it's why we don't have better alternatives like nuclear being used more widespread. (A nuclear plant oddly being framed in the same picture here too.)

  • No no, I'm sure that old wooden pole with the ceramic donut insulator, splinters and dangling wires is powering like fucking NORAD or something. 🙄

    No really, thank you. There is a segment of people who think themselves "progressive" in spaces like Lemmy but are utterly heartless and exist like soulless automations when it comes to the stuff that actually matters in our lives like protecting the innocent and making sacrifices for small things that make someone or something else have a better experience in life, even if the risk "outweighs" the reward. It's denying the human experience to make that kind of calculation.

    Imagine how much better our world would be if everyone, everywhere stopped what they were doing to help someone or something innocent in need. We wouldn't have the fucking Epstein files right now. It actually makes my blood boil and I deleted a few comments here before moderating my tone to be more civil.

  • WRONG!.gif

    Freedom of speech.

    Freedom of information.

    The hoax that we have the best anything.

    I could go on. Americans are massively deluded into thinking they're special and our country is amazing because they've never set foot outside of it. Even our internet feed is radically tuned towards isolationism. We are slightly above the "communist" countries that so many people in the US decry for building great firewalls or cutting their people off from the outside world.

    Anyone who's ever traveled and opened up their youtube account in another country's airport even would know just how limited our vision of the world really is, and how much our news and speech is controlled.

  • He was my only friend for many years, living in isolated areas and being kept out of school I didn't have much else besides shitty parents and siblings that just wanted to get high, the whole idea of people being heartless towards innocent beings in need of aid makes my blood run cold and the back of my neck feel hot with anger.

  • Lemmy, looking at an old wooden pole with splinters and hanging wires and old ceramic insulators: "LET THE CAT DIE, THAT THING IS POWERING THE ENTIRE WESTERN SEABOARD, RUSSIA WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE AND INVADE, MILLIONS WILL DIE."

    I hate you all and hope your non-existent girlfriends leave you one day for being heartless and mechanical.

  • That power line fed some houses. It's an old wooden residential line, they also usually have redundancy because these things have to be serviced all the time.

    It's crazy how many people in here are like "FUCK LIFE UTILITIES ARE MORE IMPORTANT" no wonder we're in an age of heartlessness where people don't care about harm to innocents.

  • When I was about 11 I had a cat I loved dearly get stuck in a massive cottonwood tree over my house for 5 days, it was agonizing listening to him cry every day.

    My parents were cold and heartless about it and joked that there would be a "cat skeleton tree" in our yard.

    I tried everything, finally got an older sibling to help throw a fishing line up and pull up a bucket with wet food. It didn't make it quite to his limb, but eventually the smell drove him to climb towards it, and from there I was able to coax him down. He was covered in ants and dehydrated but he was fine.

    A couple weeks later he ran up a pine tree and got stuck for 4 days again. This time I fashioned a pole and just knocked him off the branch. He fell about 20 feet into a pile of leaves and pine needles and was fine.

  • They reroute and turn off sections of wiring all the damn time for maintenance, they have crews out in the field who are literally going around, turning some lines off after turning others on, and doing routine work on lines, transformers and other components. It's not life and death, it's just a company being cheap and lazy.

    If having a love for life and wanting better outcomes and hope and inspiration for innocent life baffles your sense of logic, then maybe your sense of logic is flawed and holding you back from emotional growth.
