Irresponsible? Pugs are incapable of breeding normally because their body is too fucked up

Or perhaps whatever animal killed your friend is still nearby. Maybe it's still hungry, or maybe it feels it's territory is still underappreciated.

Yeah, some asshole walks through your territory, doesn't seem like it's being appreciated that the territory is yours

Nathan Pyle, the guy who said abortion should be illegal because he and his wife don't think they would ever get one

Okay but you formated your meme terribly because Rick is a bad person and people associate him with being callous and wrong

@Dippy@beehaw.org avatar

I don't pay attention to rap and even I know that Kendrick is cool, and Drake is a predator

Ooof. Was not aware of this.

I see something fine, and now your meme is mine!

We have a system, and we do not have the political will to get rid of that system. Go ahead and build a coalition towards a better system, but until that coalition is tangible, harm reduction is not complicity.

It's not just about president, but also cabinet positions. And Bidens cabinet is pretty decent. Trumps cabinet is awful

Dippy ,
@Dippy@beehaw.org avatar

Bruh there are a multitude of issues that the cabinet handles. As much as what's happening in Palestine is abhorrent, there are in fact other important things happening everywhere all the time. If you look at only one single issue, then you are blind to a great many things. And if you neglect the fact that one side would also handle that particular issue with even more bloodlust, then you're just not a serious person.

You can either choose to give a little support to the better part of our awful system in our awful world

Or you can stay in your fantasy land where the 2 parties are absolutely identical and your Itty bitty push back is more effective

I'll be sure to save this for when my trans ass is thrown in a gulag by trump and I can show the immigrants in there with me that you thought everything would be same either way.

@Dippy@beehaw.org avatar

He isn't trying to kill me. He opposes bans of our medical care. If trans rights ended up on his desk, I think he'd sign it. So yeah, I do like him a lot better than the other candidate who literally wants us dead. The difference is subtle but I would rather be alive and lightly supported instead of dead and hated

I love Mr Fain. His move to set up a potential general strike on mayday 2028 is genius

The thing keeping my sanity holding on is knowing that I'm not going to get what I actually want, so any bits of progress feel great because I'm not expecting the whole thing

@Dippy@beehaw.org avatar

Actually, this statistic is off. Burgerhuffing Georg who does nothing but breathe burger fumes is an extreme outlier and should not have been counted.

@Dippy@beehaw.org avatar

I'm happy with this. I think it's good to have the presidents team being in as many places as possible to hear people

None of this is saving me money though

You know that there are international treaties he must follow, or be actually impeached. He's actually given Isreal the bare minimum and done his utmost to limit Netanyahu

The cattle industry is horrid. Boycotting or avoiding leather goods is not the lever that will harm the industry. Using leather goods means less waste from the meat industry. Leather items are good

My fiance has a skin allergy to wool

Dippy ,
@Dippy@beehaw.org avatar

Sure, they sell the hides to the leather industry, but that's just kind of convenient for them to do. If they couldn't sell the hides, they'd still be selling the meat. But the cattle industry could not get by on selling the hides without the meat.

Leather is simply small potatoes in comparison

I'm looking for change in our systems, but I recognize that the system is far bigger than me or you. I'm not going to lose sleep living in the only system I have access to. But in the meantime, I will bother politicians hoping to change the system that way.

Apples to oranges. I'm not debating you anymore

I don't follow your thoughts here.

But. The state would likely regulate them away except maybe in climates that aren't very burdened by golf courses, if that's even a thing. Communist governments don't inherently take full control of all businesses. They simply eliminate private property, which is not to be confused with personal property.

A communist golf course might look like this. You roll right up to the course. You either pull out your own clubs or borrow some from the facility. Someone maybe informs you which courses are more or less busy, helps you understand how to play and what etiquette is expected for the pleasure and safety of yourself, other active and future golfers. And then someone maintains the courses when... whenever they're maintained now probably.

Gods I fucking predicted this. The motor heads need the vroom vroom or they won't make the green transition. Now, it is legally required for electric cars to make a sound so they don't sneak up on blind folks. Why not make it a cool sound that isn't obnoxious?

Dippy ,
@Dippy@beehaw.org avatar

Okay but I want that so bad now

Dippy ,
@Dippy@beehaw.org avatar

Yes all of this. And also, even if Palestine was in no way on the ballot in November, that doesn't mean it's not worth it to vote for the guy who is much better in all the ways that are on the ballot

I have no idea, Is there anything I can do about that? I thought it just assigned me a cheeky avatar

It's in Boston, but could be coming to a concrete plant in your town in the next 10-20 years. It's big infrastructure so it doesn't change often

Now that I've found a neat community here in beehaw, I plan to share and David Roberts work extensively because the stuff he puts out is what gives me hope

If you use ecosia instead of Google for search results, you can plant trees instead

The democrats have been trying to raise minimum wage for idk 15 years now, they just haven't been given a functional enough majority to make it happen at the national level, though they have absolutely done so at the state level. I think your complaint might be misdirected, and could better apply to the fundamental structure of our bicameral legislature, and especially at the filibuster rule that is getting increasingly unpopular with senators themselves. When the filibuster is gone sometime in the next 6 years I expect, you will see a noticeably more functional senate.

Unfortunately I think a lot of people find it easier to feel nihilistic than recognize that there is a path forward

Lula seems to be a great leader. I hope he and his allies maintain control of Brazil for a while
