Just seems ridiculous that the message is “everyone should give up their creature comforts and live as simply and tediously as possible so that billionaires don’t have to change”.
I never said that. On the contrary: All of it will have to change if life on this planet is supposed to remain livable, and it’s gonna involve quite a bit more than giving up red meat. I also think that having broad public support for that change, built on many individuals who choose to implement it, will make it easier to impose the same demands (e.g., through policy) on corporations and the wealthy. Given that billionaires are not exactly known for being selfless, waiting for them to do the right thing seems like a losing strategy to me.
I agree that systemic change is important, too, but 6% of global emissions attributable to a single factor is HUGE. Plus, it’s not one or the other. Changes by individuals supports change at a systemic level.
For some reason, I’m reading this in John Oliver’s voice.
“Quick, let me in, they’re right on my tail!”
Fine line between mirroring and holding up the mirror. This feels more like the former.
Comedian: My wife won’t fuck me on command.
Boomers: Funniest shit ever.
“You will pay for this, Deborah. I will make sure you pay for this dearly.”
He’s being deployed there.
Gotta wonder what part of “thou shalt not kill” is so difficult to understand for these people.
Me: Teams, can I please add this file to this folder?
Teams: Sure, just click “Add file” and navigate to the file you want to add.
Me: Can you let me just drag and drop?
Teams: No, fuck you. Click “Add file”.
When my cat tries to ambush us, he likes to hide in his cat tunnel with his butt sticking out. You can tell an attack is imminent by his signature wiggle.
Using the power of AI, you too could send your boss emails that read like the following, completely hassle-free:
"Certainly, here is a version of your email without slurs or aggressive phrasing.
Dear Fred,
…"
My cat was already a batshit weirdo when we met him at the shelter. But that was partly the reason we ended up adopting him. He fits in, and we love him.
Ngl, my first association with “Catdolf” was not LotR.
I love it. It combines my resentment of misogyny in video game culture with the things I care about in everyday life such as sleep.
I’ll fucking do it again.
Fun fact: For a group of 13 skeletons attacking the same target, the probability that at least one of them crits is about 49%.
