Cuttlefish1111 OP ,

No shit ? Extremely helpful response. There was a post a few months ago about it being deleted so if you have no knowledge of the situation your snarky comment is unnecessary. Responses like this are what drive people away from lemmy

No Blame towards the 1% fueling the culture war responsible.

It is disgusting makes me cringe society readily accepts the blame

Cuttlefish1111 , (edited )

I would argue it is the sole reason behind the action. Blaming each other gets us nowhere, nor stops the violence. There is a concerted effort here to divide the country. One could rationally look at the 1% as the driving factor behind 99% of the world’s problems. If the culture war propaganda stopped, we could make progress.

Cuttlefish1111 ,

Of course people are responsible for their actions but the fact remains it wouldn’t have happened in the in the first place without paid professionals manufacturing propaganda, driving this culture at the behest of corporate interests

It’s conflicting. I would like to see immediate lethal punishment but also want him to suffer in jail

Terrible events, Excellent article. Hopefully there will be some accountability

Ads are atrocious and despicable. It’s brainwashing. Our generation has been saturated. Half of the population currently puts up with it while many, like us, won’t. I just avoid them when possible and always look for new ways to block them. It’s about all we can do

Repurposing old smartphones to assist your primary phone with navigation (increasing the range)

The problem I have is on long trips (via bicycle or on foot) my phone’s battery hits 15% remaining and screen dims mid-trip, which is essentially blank in daylight when navigating. I’m in airplane mode with wifi also disabled. So the only power consumers are the screen and the GPS receiver. Yet I’m still forced to power...

Cuttlefish1111 ,

Maybe you could learn your way around and leave the phone off. Perhaps only power on the phone for emergency/when necessary

He looks like he’s just shitting his pants while maintaining eye contact. Shameless. Knows he’s a terrible person. Out of control liar. Like an actor who knows he’s a villain.

You only get one chance at the experience of life, don’t throw it away. I will die of cancer soon. Somewhere out there is your other half. Be patient enough to find them.

I’ve been seeing quite a few negative articles about Cali lately. Gee I wonder, is it because they’re the only state making meaningful laws against capitalism. Nah no way

This G.O.P. Senate Candidate Says He Grew Up on a Family Farm. Not Exactly. ( www.nytimes.com )

He has explicitly said and strongly implied that he grew up on a farm, claimed in 2022 that he had “started with nothing” and that he “didn’t have anything,” and he and his campaign have recently described his parents as schoolteachers....

Can homeless people be fined for sleeping outside? A rural Oregon city asks the US Supreme Court ( apnews.com )

You paid for all those procedures or you got it from the government?

Funny thing, after working in the medical profession many years, you’ve made it all up. The statistics of surviving these things, combined, its zero unless you’re a billionaire. Also since insurance paid for it, you didn’t. Oh that’s different though isn’t it.

I don’t debate liars

Have you ever considered the thought the white supremacists joined the Christians just to take over?

All the outrage towards Russia not much at Israel

Any talk of third party in an election in which the outcome is life threatening for many, is dillusional

It won’t just be the downfall of American Democracy, which I honestly feel the rich have already done. It’ll be the downfall of America having the strongest currency and economy. American Democracy will probably continue with civil war in its streets

They will not give up their wealth willingly. This battle began years ago and they’re kicking our ass more every year. All I can say is guerrilla warfare. The taliban won.

Cuttlefish1111 , (edited )

Do you really think if you organize and do vote drives, they won’t come up with something like they did for Trump overnight? The Taliban won against the largest most advanced army in the world. They were everywhere and no where.

Cuttlefish1111 ,

Good luck to you

Now we have finally reached the true point of it all. Israel stealing more land.

How does someone come up with the value? Reddit has 300 million users and worth 6 billion, truth has 3 million and worth 3 billion?? Doesn’t make sense

UC delays vote on much-debated proposal to restrict some faculty speech ( edsource.org )

The policy doesn’t mention a specific issue, but many faculty see it as an attempt to limit what they can say about Israel’s war in Gaza. The consideration of the policy, which has been in the works for months, comes after UC’s Ethnic Studies Faculty Council and several faculty departments have criticized Israel over the...

They don’t seem to be fem imo, but whatever. Don’t forget to go with steel toe. Also they quadrupled on price over 20 years.

The Rabbi got to experience discrimination, how unfortunate. A wise individual would use this time to reflect upon his own decisions. At least they didn’t kill, starve or maim him as would happen if he were a Palestinian in Gaza

His decision to be involved with a genocidal regime. But you already know that, so does everyone else. I’m sure you will post some bait and argue with me. I don’t care and I will not entertain it. You’re probably not even a real person or some Israeli college kid. I don’t care

Cuttlefish1111 ,

I’m done arguing with shills, propagandists and genocide apologists. They’re arguing in bad faith. For you to assume I would be “wrong” reveals your own prejudice/bias. Not everything is black and white but this issue is.

Cuttlefish1111 ,

Funny, by not arguing, I’m arguing. Lol sure, ok

Cuttlefish1111 ,

It will be a “shock and awe” campaign visited upon the American people.

This subject does not seem to be receiving the warranted attention it deserves

Really important article here about how big oil companies, including ExxonMobil, knew plastic recycling was BS since the'70s, but kept pushing the lie anyway.

"New research by the Center for Climate Integrity reveals that the plastics industry knew this plastic waste crisis was coming. And so petrochemical manufacturers worked hard to persuade the public that we could recycle our way out of the problem."

https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/4513908-big-oils-big-deception-that-plastics-are-recyclable/

This is in addition to them knowing about the dangers of carbon emissions since the 1970s, and deliberately delaying action: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-climate-change-almost-40-years-ago/

(Worth noting the plastic used in the synthetic rubber in tyres is a major source of plastic pollution: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/112009009421402914)

"Twenty petrochemical companies generate more than half of all the world’s single-use plastics. They include major oil and gas companies such as ExxonMobil, the world’s leading producer of single-use plastic waste.

...

"Behind the scenes, however, they were admitting all along that such efforts were “virtually hopeless.” For more than 40 years, they knew that plastic recycling is not technically or economically feasible at scale. More than 90 percent of all plastic has ended up in landfills, ecosystems, or incinerators.

...

"Since the 1970s, these companies, their trade associations, and their front groups promoted recycling “solutions” using misleading advertising, inaccurate educational materials, performative investments, and commitments that they knew they were unlikely to meet.

...

"Internal documents reveal that the industry knew by 1986, for example, that “recycling cannot be considered a permanent solid waste solution [to plastics], as it merely prolongs the time until an item is disposed of.” In 1994, an Exxon employee warned staffers at the American Plastics Council that they did not “want paper floating around” saying they could not meet recycling goals, since the issue was “highly sensitive politically.” These compelling admissions and many more are grounds for a thorough investigation.

...

"Plastics are a product made from fossil fuels. As the world moves away from fossil fuels in a race to avert climate catastrophe, journalists have shined a light on how oil companies promote recycling, in part because plastics are their 'Plan B.'"

https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/4513908-big-oils-big-deception-that-plastics-are-recyclable/

These days, the CEO of ExxonMobil likes to gaslight the public and blame activists:

"Frankly, society, and the activist—the dominant voice in this discussion—has tried to exclude the industry that has the most capacity and the highest potential for helping with some of the technologies."

https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/112009009421402914

Well, these same companies knew about the problems with toxic fossil fuel pollution since the 1970s. That's both greenhouse gas and microplastic pollution.

And they deliberately and knowingly lied to delay action.

Medical professional here. This is crazy. This is starving your body, I do not recommend.

Cuttlefish1111 ,

The body believes it is starving after 24 hours and begins to eat itself. The risks far outweigh the benefits. Have to lose weight the real way, diet and exercise.
