Sure, but saying that doesn’t change the fact that almost everyone in the industrialized world does live that way

Honestly, eating vegan, or even vegetarian, is too much of a hassle for most people most of the time, and that’s by design. So is eating anything that isn’t 80% corn syrup and processed sugar. Our society prioritizes cheap and/or artificial over everything else. Until that changes at a systemic level people aren’t going to change their eating habits.

This is true for much more than just food as well. Most won’t stop using plastic until the alternatives are cheaper and more accessible. Same with renewable energy, public transportation, pesticides, polyester clothing, etc. Most people are fundamentally lazy and will not go out of their way to do something beneficial for others unless they have a financial incentive to do so. Awareness of a problem only elicits a response in a small minority of the population.

The difference is that it’s only newsworthy when Dems do bad shit or when Reps don’t do bad shit.

The endorsement loses quite a bit of steam when you follow it up with a statement that makes it sound like you disagree with everything he stands for though, wouldn’t you agree?

Winning in Texas is a long shot with anyone. A white Christian man is exactly the kind of person you need to run there, especially one attempting to push back against MAGAs hold on Christian voters using socialist language from the Bible and calling out Republican hypocrisy. If you want to play identity politics games just so you can end up with another Hakeem Jefferies you’re only going to lose by a wider margin. That’s the kind of shit that got us here in the first place.

If you want others to fall in line then maybe that’s what you should do instead of complaining about the candidate that won the primary. Say something positive about the only dude with a shot at winning a Senate seat in Texas

I know it’s partly because conservative voters pretend to care about the economy, and for whatever reason their primary metrics for judging its health seem to be the price of gas and eggs, but I really wish we could stop framing the destruction we are causing throughout the world solely in terms of how much it now costs us to fill up our cars. It makes me almost hope we see an actual invasion on US soil just so we’ll realize that war costs much more than a few extra bucks at the gas pump. That’s not a healthy or sustainable attitude for an entire society to have, to say the least.

People who summarize videos in the comments shouldn’t have to pay taxes. You’re doing enough public service already

That really will be the perfect repost when he dies and MAGA inevitably tries to call out everyone celebrating as disrespectful

That lip bite really sells the idea that he wants to fuck those noodles

I’m ready and willing. It’s well past time we set some shit on fire 🔥

Fair enough. I get what you’re saying. I just have so little faith in the government that even pointing out obvious legal obstacles feels like a pointless endeavor.

How do you still have this kind of optimism about our government?

Windows was less shitty in the 90s too

More like the OG “shiny is better” users

The one with all the power and control? I’m not sure you’re looking at this from his perspective. It seems like you’re assuming someone will eventually hold them accountable. They don’t plan on allowing that to happen.

I’ll never buy a computer that can’t be run without this shit. If that means I run what I have until it breaks and then never have a PC again then that’s what I’ll do

CEOs have all sounded the same for years now. Add in LLM talking points regularly and they all sound like robots with a broken speech unit

Thanks, I appreciate you posting this as well. I have been trying to do better about supporting open source projects lately and I was just thinking about Linux phones the other day so it was well timed. It would be awesome if we could get one to the point that more casual users could run it without trouble, but that kind of thing doesn’t happen on its own. If we want freedom we’ll have to pay for it in one way or another.

Interesting concept. This kind of thing needs more support. Let’s make it happen. I’ll start:
