More pirates vs pirates memes when it should be pirates vs executives
This is why groups like Extinction Rebellion are so important. They use non-violent protests to get massive participation and awareness, which in turn gives the politicians an issue they have to take a side on.
But I wonder how long this can last until violent protests, or even revolutions start?
Ok yea I would watch that too
And remember, biking or walking is no more environmentally sound - per person-km travelled, using a typical western diet - than a fuel-efficient automobile with a single passenger
That's not right. This studyabout biking vs driving with different diets. inflates the carbon output for bikers by subtracting the calories for car drivers, but not for bicyclists.
It assumes too much and is so generalized nothing can really be gleaned from the findings.
Walking and biking are more environmentally sound than driving
Not everyone drives a "fuel-efficient" car (25 mpg according to the article), in fact the most popular car being sold are Ford F150s with mpg around 15-20. And even mpg is not a constant if you consider traffic or inclination.
I 100% agree that the wealthy are killing us much much faster.
Heatwaves like these always happen in south European countries during July, nothing new>
Ah right. Guess that hottest temp ever recorded last week was nothing to be concerned about.
Just a climate troll doing your thing based on your comment history.
I think the benefits of going high speed rail now would outweigh the negatives of upgrading at a later point.
Mycelium is pretty rad stuff. Strong, sustainable, degradeable, and is a carbon vacuum.
"Flagrantly Illegal"
😂
It doesn't have to be this way.
Copyright laws are a recent phenomenon and should have never been a thing imo. The only reason it's there is not to "protect creators," but to make sure upper classes extract as much wealth over the maximum amount of time possible.
Music piracy has showed that it's got too many holes in it to be effective, and now AI is showing us its redundancy as it uses data to give better results.
it stifles creativity to the point it makes us inhuman. Hell, Chinese writers used to praise others if they used a line or two from other writers.
Well said and yea if you find a "unbiased source" for news, you've only fallen for their bias.
Be critical even of what interests you, and read things you don't like as well.
I have a few since I'm a historian:
The revolutions of 1848 Europe, particularly Berlin or Paris. The atmosphere in that year was confusing, conflicting, and explosive. People wanted generally better lives, and put their own on the line to see it happen in numbers that shock us today.
The fall of the T'ang dynasty and the early Song dynasty. I'd love to see if the Naito Hypothesis holds up as a viewer of that time and space.
The Atlantic Revolutions between 1770s to 1800. So American, Haitian, French, etc. The birth of nationhood (in Europe), a new consciousness found its footing, and what it meant to have liberty, to be human, and to be unfree were changing.
And Japan in the 1930's. How fascism developed in the country. It's a question that's big in Japanese history, and not so clear today.
Yea but with torrenting it's multiple peers you are connected to. Soulseek only connects you 1-1 so it's generally lots safer.
Just want to drop this here because of how ridiculous these entertainment cartels can be:
