Nice non sequitur you got there.
Big Ag using up all our freshwater is indeed a major issue but has nothing to do with a video rightly pointing out the many, many downsides of lawns.
Also, excessive lawn maintenance absolutely does impact water supplies in arid regions, so tf is your point?
Loving my dash rn
Lol just admit you got it wrong, why argue? You said peacocks are endangered, and they’re not. Just say oops and move on.
The common peacock, also called Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus), seen in the pic above, is not endangered. Least concern in fact.
The Green peafowl (pavo muticus) is endangered, but I highly doubt the Florida man had/ate that species. Much harder to acquire—I’ve never even seen it at a zoo.
In the 2024 Japanese general election, LDP had to form a coalition with Komeito, and it still lost their parliamentary majority in the lower house for the first time in 15 years, with the LDP suffering its second-worst result in its history, securing only 191 seats.
Less than a year and a half later, LDP went from a minority coalition party, dropped Komieto, and won an outright two-thirds supermajority and regaining its majority status in the chamber. The LDP’s total of at least 316 seats is the most ever won by a party in Japanese electoral history.
I do NOT like Takaichi. But she undeniably turned LDP around in a historic way. LDP was majorly suffering in 2024, and nobody could’ve foreseen this much of a comeback.
Yup! Everybody here just wants to blindly defend israel and their genocide! Lemmy’s #1 priority is israel. In fact, the legal name of the website is actually “IsraeLemmy” but they just shortened it to trick Marxists.
Speaking of images that speak for themselves…
Don’t be sorry. Comments like that are what’s causing me to use Lemmy less. So fucking sick of the virtue signaling and selective outrage.
There’s no fucking ethical consumption in post-captialism. A literal pedophilic criminal is the US president, and I’m supposed to expend my energy hating the video game company that gives me Pokemon, Zelda, and Kirby? Fuck all the way off.
You can find examples of extreme weather/natural disasters in every single state.
Central/South IL is literally just fields is corn and soy.
The map is still crap lol.
Exactly. Calling all the bullshit. IL is actually known for being extremely safe natural disaster-wise. No wildfires, earthquakes, floods, droughts, heatwaves, deepfreezes, tsunamis, or hurricanes, no volcanos or mountains so no mudslides or avalanches, relatively few tornados/severe storms.
A somewhat similar thing happened to me. Made an admittedly spicy comment on r/FauxMoi on my main account. Got banned from that sub (which was fair). Made a second account months later and inadvertently commented on r/FauxMoi (literally just about a movie premiere date—the story was on my main page) without thinking about my prior account’s ban.
Got immediately perma-banned for ban evasion. I appealed and was ignored. Oh well.
And fwiw, you can still view all the content. Just can’t vote/comment. 🤷
The religious stuff was weird.
Quite literally how everyone in the comments sounds.
“Small communities of like minded individuals form and cooperate to solve food, safety, water and shelter concerns” - you literally described government. At its core, that is exactly what a government is.
Do “anarchists” hear themselves? I don’t know if OP is an anarchist, but this is why I don’t take them seriously. Their ‘ideal society’ always leads back to what is—in its most fundamental form—a government.
Genuinely thank you for this explanation. I never thought about how this is basically a fish (oil) vs fishing pole (solar) situation. Oil companies don’t want to give you the fishing pole to do it yourself, they want to charge you fish by fish, gallon by gallon of oil to maximize profits.
That is until solar-electric companies start banking electricity in huge batteries, then meting it out for a fee. Pretty sure that hellscape is in the works.
I hate AI as much as any reasonable human, and I know this article raises valid huge concerns… BUT! Looking at the state of humanity and all the fucked up shit that’s going on, I can totally see why an AI looks at all this and says “yeah nope burn it all down. With fire. Restart from level 1.”
