That many people are stupid should come as no surprise?
I quit work at 35 because of some of this, first job at 17 in the first week, I wondered at the hell this would be when I was 65... that and near death experience that made me realise what was important to me. Am now 58.
My only regret was not quitting work earlier, it's hard to work against the herd though.
Not at all, people believe in magic sky faires and put stickers on their car about it... Hell lots of cop cars abs court rooms have nonsense about said sky fairy on it. In bobo we trust .. Aside from scale, there's no real difference.
He's got a huge bug out property in New Zealand I think ?
Here in Australia the Honor V2 (older version, V3 just announced) is $200 less then the just announced Z Fold 6, then there are discounts and trade in to reduce the Fold 6's RRP
I don't know how much the Honor V3 will be.
Mmmm that about what I pay the doctor to jam a finger up my...third eye.
Plant Trees and shrubs along that section if possible?
Or move. This will only get worse the longer we deny it by doing nothing substantive. That's what I did.
This has to be propaganda for the locals yeah ? Or to dog whistle to Putin for more funds for reelection!
Well, luckly for me everyone knows I am cunt, so it doesnt matter what I post, so no different when I take the piss out of non Linux users.
It's a bit like a reformed smoker I guess , having used Windows from 3.1 until 10 and now LDME for 12 months it's tricky to not tell people to run away from the shit biscuit that is now Windows.
Will they be able to get 3 working ones from these wrecks though? If they were in good condition, they'd still be using them.
Your take is however literally madness. It would be like you protesting on here that somone trying to get people medicine to survive if they raced across town disrupting traffic and you supported them being jailed.
I hope they can keep it up. The stupid attached to people not understating the impacts of climate change is appalling and will collapse civilisation. That's literally what XR, JSO etal want to try and do, prevent the collapse of civilisation and raise awareness of that so we do something. And people be like "my Uber Eats driver delivered me a cold buger, jail those protestors for life!!!?"
I get you're not brave enough to do this yourself but you'd think you'd at least support those who are!
“Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” —Kurt Vonnegut
Enterly reasonable but assuming it's true matters little anyway. It's confirmation bias for those who want nothing to do with the GOP and the GOP won't believe it anyway, no matter the evidence (like climate change etc).
If it's is false it won't matter, if its true it won't matter.
I dd it the other way around.
Switched to Linux (LDME about 12 months ago) and the things I couldn't do I didn't bother with. I have so many things that interest me I just spend more time on them and found some new stuff.
I was dual booting a few years back because I had a bunch of stuff I couldn't do in Linux and said fcuk it this time. In retrospect I wish I had adopted that philosophy earlier.
That won't work in Australia. You can buy the SIM anywhere of course, you just can't activate it. You'll need proof of ID on line to do that.. There are only three operators (the rest are resellers). I am sure there are ways around it but not the one you suggest.
When I was last in NZ you didn't need ID must buy a SIM and good to go, not sjre thats still the case though?
A radical sovereign citizen group co-invented by a fugitive mother is using a fake court to justify attempted child abduction, extortion, and intimidation of court officials.
>Over the past six months members have filmed themselves entering or attempting to enter court houses, police stations, local council chambers and commercial offices across the country.
>During these interactions, an NDA "sheriff" typically approaches a polite, but often confused, front desk worker to proclaim Australia is now a "demilitarised zone" and that all government authority has been dissolved before handing them a written notice.
>The notice warns "failure to be fully compliant" with NDA's rules "will certainly place you at severe risk of possible persecution, imprisonment or financial ruin".
>Over time, these interactions have become more confrontational.
>Video seen by ABC Investigations showed police forcefully ejecting members of the group from Gympie Court House in May.
What in tarnation?
The psychological and cultural aspects of systems change are commonly neglected — but they’re crucial to finding effective solutions to global crises.
>Understandably, material concerns dominate the policy conversation around sustainability and systemic transformation. Yet at the root level, our crises are created and perpetuated by factors in our psychology and meaning—making.
>From consumerist values to evolutionary impulses that skew our perceptions and political behaviours, these inner dynamics subtly dictate the course of our external world. It’s why Donella Meadows, the lead author of The Limits to Growth, saw this arena of “mindsets” as the “deepest leverage point for change.”
A few weeks ago, the Jones family was waking to icy cold winter mornings. Now, they're seeing how far their thumbs can take them on the journey from central Victoria to India.
>In an age where giving lifts to strangers is mostly advised against, this family sees it as their preferred option to get to India, for environmental and social reasons.
>Mr Jones and Ms Ulman do not own a car, have not been overseas in 20 years, and wanted to show their son the world, in the least polluting way possible.
>"We've done a lot of travel before on bicycles and hitching and public transport in Australia," Mr Jones said.

The South Australian RSPCA receives an influx of livestock welfare reports, with some animals starving to death.
>South Australia has been suffering through one of the driest starts to the year on record, leaving little for livestock to graze on in most agricultural regions.

In his new book, Tad DeLay suggests there is no rosy roadmap to go forward – but there are things we can do

> >For denial doesn’t only amount to rejecting the evidence, he argues – it also consists of denying our role in the climate crisis; absolving ourselves through “carbon offsets, hybrid cars, local purchases, recycling”. And in this, far more of us are implicated. > > >In some ways, this argument might not seem all that new. Multiple authors have pointed out that green capitalism, not rightwing deniers of the crisis, is our greatest obstacle to properly confronting the problem. DeLay agrees. The difference is the lens he brings to it – using psychoanalysis to explain the mechanisms behind denial. > >

The well off are contributing more than their fair share of greenhouse gas emissions from transport, driving more frequently and over longer distances, according to a new study. The work is published in the journal Travel Behaviour and Society.
>The study of New Zealanders' travel habits found that total weekly travel emissions were 79% higher for people in affluent areas compared to those living in lower socio-economic areas.
More than half those who left recently headed to Australia with promises of higher pay and better working conditions
>Olsen said while it is normal for New Zealanders to leave the country, it will be harder to convince people to return, if there are ongoing issues around housing affordability and job prospects.
>That ‘brain drain’ could pose problems for society as the population ages, Olsen said.
>“We need to have as many young people as we can who are still part of the economy … who are being innovative and bringing their new thinking to the game so we can be more productive,” he said.
>“If we are losing our young talent and we’re not able to attract them back it makes all of [that] so much harder.”
