Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.
Communism is good, necessary, and achievable.
ALL information, except what you can hold in your brain, should be 100% public, with no limits on use.
An unimaginable concept right now, but I think it is essential if we hope to ever trust each other and achieve global peace.
Everyone deserves health care. And a decent place to live. Even people without jobs!
Everyone deserves health care.
Even people who don’t live in your country? Because that’s going to be a strain on your healthcare system.
Yes, yes, it’s a nice ideal, but when the rubber meets the road, shit can hit the fan, which means healthcare for the FIFO, and the rich.
If it’s “everyone in my circle deserves healthcare”, then it’s very realistic. “Everyone in my country” might even work as well. “Everyone in the world deserves healthcare in my country” not so much.
I’m not going to eat a fucking hot dog, I don’t care how much everyone else pretends to enjoy them, they’re a crime against food and decency.
Using AI is amoral and I will never use it. As a programmer, every day it feels like I’m increasingly the minority.
don’t give up. you are not alone. patience is key and the time where deep understanding of technology will become essential again
The Cowboy Bebop remake by Netflix was mostly good. It failed because Netflix didn’t advertise “normies” correctly.
Bike lanes suck and bikes should be on the sidewalk.
I want to share my photos of our trip with you, but I don’t want you to upload them to Google, or apple, or amazon, or meta, or any social media.
If it’s a pic of you, fine, do whatever you want. But please don’t take my whole album and store it in your google photos.
Edit: to maybe disambiguate, I go on a trip with someone else, we both take photos/videos using our own devices, and then afterwards we are exchanging what we took. Not like, me sharing photos with someone who didn’t even go on the trip.
Keep right except to pass. The passing lane is for passing.
Just in response to your annoyance, I have found women ive been around tend to have more of a “fuck other people and the climate” attitude than most of the guys (its usually not that abrasive, just more of a “why wouldn’t I water my grass? We have the water” attitude). Especially if there’s kids, they dont care about anything else (that’s just biology I guess). Please dont take this as sexist, it is just something ive observed.
I get very annoyed with people wasting unnessesarily and using amazon.
Religious people are one the biggest reasons as to why we are where we are today. Anyone that tries to “respect” these delusions are also culpable. It’s the best invention to sedate the masses in their cage since sliced manna.
I bet you cannot even define religion.
“Existential belief/claim in delusion with no evidence or basis in reality; A tool for the rich to exploit and sedate the masses.” That’s what I hope to change the definition to when people wake up. Obviously since definitions are descriptive and not prescriptive that isn’t what it is now. “An organized supernatural belief in a god/gods in regard to the creation of the universe.” Is what I would assume more fits how people use the word today. Even then I feel that excludes delusions such as Buddhism or individual ‘spiritual’ delusions.
Skip to your proselytizing, what delusion are you Pascal’s wagering your life on?
Right, everyone who disagrees with you is a delusional sky-fairy worshipper. I’m not religious, dude. I’m also not suffering from religious trauma. Clean your shit up.
Clearly you CANNOT define what religion even is. But boy do you ever have strong opinions about something YOU CANNOT EVEN DEFINE. Your damage is just flowing out from every sentence. Your rage cannot change the world, but once you fix yourself, you can start to try.
You are illiterate and I hope you get better 😘
How do you explain to yourself that religious and spiritual people are the drivers of mainstream politics and new political ideologies, while atheists/modernists/disenchanted are pretty much either irrelevant or clinging desperately to their position of vaning power, paralyzed, and often depressed?
happy to be presented with counterevidence
This is an argument from ignorance
The abortion debate will never be resolved.
This is mainly from the two sides arguing about different things.
Pro-life is about how a life starts at conception which means that abortion is murder. Pro-choice is about how women should have a choice to have an abortion.
Just force women to have abortions. Now you are undermining their bodily autonomy AND killing babies for satan (or whatever) Both sides happy.
/joke
Hasn’t it already been resolved in a whole bunch of countries? I mean, sure there’s still some folks that disagree with the outcome, but you’ve got folks disagreeing about the earth being round as well. If that’s your bar for debates not having been resolved then I agree with you, but I’d also say you’re not saying anything particularly interesting, disagreeable, or controversial.
You are right. I didn’t specify in my original comment but I am more referencing the polarization in the US specifically.
But everything you’re saying in the other posts is pretty generic and applies to the pro and anti abortion crowd in the other countries as well.
Private ownership of vehicles should be banned. Most people’s cars are unused for 90% of the day, which is insanely inefficient. Have a pool of cars they anyone can hire just for the time they need them. It would be cheaper for everyone and there wouldn’t be three fuck ugly cars in front of every house.
Problem is that almost everyone is using them at the exact same time every day to get from and to work.
Public transit is more efficient at moving a large number of people at once in similar directions.
French cuisine is extremely overrated
I ditched my smartphone over 5 years ago, and will NEVER go back. In fact, I don’t have a phone of any kind. They are surveillance/psyop devices, and they are turning people into biological robots. The scifi show Dollhouse is basically where this is all heading.
