Oh, come on. No acceleration IST actually caused that problem. Ignoring hundreds of small problems for the sake of profit and sloth caused it. And it’s not really worse than the alternative, just a bit different

There will never be an apocalyptic collapse that Judeo-Christian societies are prone to envision. Life just doesn’t want that way…

I didn’t expect so many people on solarpunk forum crying for protection of dirty gas appliances 🤔

Oh, I like these initiatives - when they were moving a puppet theatre in my city they recycled a lot of materials and made an exhibition about that process

Frankly, if you think about it for a moment, the way this article characterises trying to be less dependent on fossil fuels (and petrostates) is quite insane.

Solution might also lie in history - some old food varieties are more resilient and less fertilizer and resource dependent than what we currently use (Eating to extinction " comes to mind)

Yes. More varied plant based diet are a little harder to achieve than standardised western diet because it can’t be that easily industrialised, yeld oriented and easily managed and controlled.

The are shrinking the protected areas along the railway - the whole thing is obviously not just about the train but about clearing more forest for soy farms (and making the process more profitable because trains are indeed MUCH more cost efficient than trucks)

It will be pain in the ass at work when I often have to quickly find a specific thing, not AI appropriation of that thing.

I just got educated that it’s cultural differences - it’s perfectly normal to own an apartment where I come from (Poland)

I’m sorry, why are we operating under the assumption that apartments=rentals? It’s not a given at all, even taking into consideration that there is quite a lot of systems where you are not renting from private landlords but from the city/cooperative

So many simple and easy geo engineering solutions floating around 🙄

Multiply it by a few million.

It looks innocent enough that it should get a pass, in “Umbrella protector against evil diversity” works it’s canonically the patriarch of the family who carries the umbrella. This art is indeed cool 😎

“medics” are so hellbent on restricting acces behind licences because so many people want to heal your cancer by injecting hydrogen peroxide into your veins and call it “alternative medicine” you would never believe.

1. Yes, it does sound exactly like being a minority in hostile environment (I can only ascertain that’s what being gay in conservative society feels like, but I can assume any minority can be described that way).
2. “Deep Adaptation" sounds very close to what we have societally do in Poland and it can very easily become a trap where you can’t meaningfully change anything in exchange for feeling a little bit better about yourself.

No, please don’t construct the illusion of some “past golden age”. Leaders were not more competent in the past.

Of course I already forgot all the advice and I have 0 knowledge otherwise, but while watching it seemed pretty smart for spotting low quality clothes.

Just remember - insects need native plants to complete their life cycles. This one would be for GB but I assume there are localised ones, especially for USA https://dbif.brc.ac.uk/background.aspx
