I remember the video saying that the airline they engaged with for the study and one other airline were already implementing the changes voluntarily.

While I agree that the right leaders and policies continue to be important, even on this very specific issue, I believe we’ll see an improvement without another round of voting.

Good news: We should see fewer CONtrails soon; https://nebula.tv/videos/simonclark-how-airlines-can-halve-their-climate-impact (or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoOVqQ5sa08 )

My body is a MACHINE that turns DIRTY things into CLEAN things. /skeleton-deadlift-meme

I am.

(j/k; I’m pretty poor at cleaning things.)

Do you have sugar diabeetus? I want to send you important information you should know!

Many cats know kung-fu*. This cat knows the Five Point Paw Exploding Heart technique.

I think when I hit my number (so that passive income should maintain until my death), I’m not going to quit working, but begin salary-scale mutual aid / community building / charity efforts.

But, I also think it’s cool you are living as close to outside Capitalism as possible.

I don’t wear my watch in the shower, but given my hair length, comparing intuitively to the length of time it takes to floss (which was timed), probably most times. Though, rarely I will do a quick shower and not shampoo (or condition) my hair.

It takes me 2 minutes to brush my teeth. Nearly 6 to floss.

I am not ashamed that it takes me 10 minutes to scrub, 5 minutes to shampoo, 5 minutes to condition, 5 minutes to face-shave, 10 minutes to rinse, and a few more minutes for using the artificial pumice stone.

I do believe she eventually grows to the age of consent, but I could be wrong.

Of course, I was saying “only female” is Sassette erasure. I was not saying “only mating prospect” is Sassette erasure.

I was just remembering her from my childhood. I wasn’t up on my Sassette lore. I found a reference that says she was created the same way Smurfette was, which surprised me.

This is Sassette erasure and I won’t stand for it! /s

I don’t know what you mean by “like murder”.

Do I think we need more capital punishment? Absolutely not. We should never kill person that’s already restrained from doing harm, even if their intent is clear.

Do I think there could be more meaningful liability? Yes. I think restorative justice means not just MUCH heavier fines (large percent of gross income for the entire period they are in violation) that are earmarked for environment restoration / pollution control efforts, but also time spent doing the work, on-site to restore / clean / contain for everyone in the decision/authority chain, across organizations.

I also think anyone that has been convicted/punished from wrong environment decision/action more than once could be subject to monitoring, publication, and shaming. Whatever education is part of the restorative justice is not enough, and society has to engage in prevention as a defense.

They should be treated more as “crimes against persons” than “property crimes”: probably.

Oi! Can we get an admin over here? r/PrequelMemes is leaking again!

I’ve gotten to 42% vegan, 42% lacto-vegetarian, and 14% omnivore, but I can and should do better.

But, I don’t think individual action is the “right” solve for this. I think we have to cap emissions by regulation. We could do cap and trade if will had really good measures for removal and capture, but we can’t depend on self-reporting for that.

Do you have a job?

I don’t currently. Are you hiring computer programmers? I’ve got 20+ applications sent out via Indeed, but I haven’t found one yet.

Even when I was employed, I still visited the library, a few bars, and the saturday farmer’s market. While I don’t think visiting the bar is necessarily a must, you really should participate in your local library and farmer’s market. Connecting to your community is important.

“They’ll get healthy enough” is an albist view, no matter what else you might believe in.

You don’t have to do that at work. You can do that at the library, bar, farmer’s market, etc. In fact, I’d rather do it with people near where I live, instead of people that share the other end of my commute.

A car does it pretty well!

There’s weather I would prefer a house over a tent. Similarly there’s weather I would drive in that I wouldn’t bike in (even with a raincoat).

This is a very ablist view.

I agree, by the time you really deserve the term “city” you should provide public transit as a community good and it can be made so that most people want to use it.

I’m in the “city” of Cove, Arkansas. It’s a 15 minute drive to the nearest produce section, and I have to work remotely because there aren’t computer programmer jobs within a reasonable commute.

At low densities, EVs are the way to go. The more dense, the more public transit makes sense.

I do still wish passenger rail service was restored along the line through here to the county seat; there are days it would save me a drive.
