Yeah on one hand it’s like, screw it, waste all i want and fuck the rest. But then I’d be a boomer

I mean, the flour and eggs you buy to cook at home also come from corpos. I have a garden but there’s no way it could sustain someone without also using grocery.

This is so great.

I can’t stand willfully dumb people!

I actually enjoy when this happens. All this centralized shit will not end well.

Good to know!! I had heard this once

Sorry, when im referring to those of an older age im thinking mcmansion, 3 campers and 4 trucks (most people in the Midwest cities) so thats where I was guessing more waste is created.

Yes of course the answer is stop eating fast food. Live in a cave, don’t reproduce, that is how we create the least waste. Im not suggesting that. Im saying it’s gross that these companies willingly waste so much when we don’t really need to.

I much prefer glass. However it takes a decent amount more fuel to transport glass since it’s so heavy.

This is why normal people don’t believe in or want to listen to anything about climate change. Lets blame the corpos for forcing us to use disposable junk, and not the people who want a quick meal once a week.

Oof, thats very true. But how else do you keep everything clean i guess. Losing game

I forgot to mention that! Super awesome feature akin to the days of hitting record on the cassette while waiting by the radio

Same. 64 gb and an i7 and STILL slower than a 15 year old pc with half the ram

I had almost the exact experience! 15 year old pc here. I love linux and it’s made me enjoy computing again! Really the only downside are anti cheat games and vr don’t work, neither of which are really the fault of linux.

I can’t imagine working with these people. I would fire them instantly. Plenty of us aren’t idiots sucked into lazy ai hype. Its literally laziness, nothing else.

I dig it!! Do you have bandcamp?

I think people do not realize how hard it is to make the creature comforts you are all so used to. No one thinks of the massive bio plants, wastewater plants, construction companies etc that create the comfortable world we live in. On the surface sure, you live in a nice compact apartment with 1000 other people so the land is densely populated, but you still had to build on that land, all the wastewater needs to be treated, and you’re going to have people who don’t want to live squished together. Hence what we have today. Urban sprawl may suck but when you get your own house you don’t really care anymore.

Also you can’t have a sustainable society when we keep increasing population, and everyone’s idea of sustainable is different. One person may be satisfied to have food and read books all day. The other one may want a Woodshop so they can build. The other one may want a large garage so they can work on old cars…see where im going? Sure if everyone was content to sit on a couch all day, our idea of a simple sustainable life may work. But some of us are doers.

Im extremely lucky to have a good paying job and still I say tax the fuck out of the rich. They are absolutely kings of our day drunk with power and money they do not deserve that they earned by destroying thousands of lives. There is no other way to win capitalism. If there’s a hell, all billionaires will go there because they are scum. You’re average millionaire bisynes owner mom n pop store, theyre not who we are talking about. Its the filthy rich.

Also that life is one we choose by wanting a solid predictable life. Anyone can online in the woods in Alaska off grid. Its just a fuck ton of work and you could starve or freeze.

Fucking funko pops got me

Im talking about the majority of humans, the lazy and the simple ones for whom tik tok is their lives. Yes sure, for those who are actually adventurous and interesting, it’s awesome to have this information and power. But most people don’t utililize that at all. They want spoon fed content. People don’t even want to find content. They want it shoved in their faces because they would rather not use their brains for 1 second.

I don’t agree with the making it harder to censor. They don’t have to make it harder to censor because everything is misinformation now, and by using that logic they can say everyone is just lying (except for their side, of course) so it’s right back to square 1. Have you seen how many people think ai slop images are real? I rest my case. Technology enabled the dumbest to become dumber and, more dangerously, confident.

All of this could also just be because it’s Americans im interacting with, and we are definitely the dumbest country.

Exactly. If you’re sitting there with no phone, you’re more apt to pick up a book or go somewhere than just doomscroll
