What Ticketmaster Doesn't Want You To Know: Concerts Were Cheap For Decades
  • Concerts used to be loss leaders to drive album sales

    With albums sales down the concert has become the product and ticket master's business model is to be the only game in town and wring out as much money from concert goers as possible

  • Global land use for agriculture across different diets
  • Poultry is definitely the more climate friendly of the meats but it doesn't come without problems

    There's still increased risks of pandemic with factory farmed chickens and most chickens are raised in inhumane conditions

  • Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump by 6 points in New Hampshire, poll finds
  • Harris is showing within the margin of error for polls nationally

    What we really want to do is look at her chances of winning each state to see the probable delegate total but it's WAY too early to tell and either way we shouldn't get complacent

  • Thanks internet!
  • Low quality information is easier to produce than high quality information

    Even worse, while people prefer high quality information, the preference is weaker than other preferences, such as the desire to see things that are cute or make you angry

  • "Suffering builds character". anarcho-primitivists, probably
  • It's not a straw man, the guy knows what he's talking about. Destroying biodiversity is a major problem with a lot of tree farms and tree planting programs. Tree planting doesn't HAVE to do that but that kind of management is hard to do, like the guy said

  • Seriously, almost all the posts are just doom scrolling. And yes, I'm aware of the irony
  • Two things

    1. Politics is for Power provides a pretty good model for thinking about this https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Politics-Is-for-Power/Eitan-Hersh/9781982116798

    There's a lot of political hobbyism on social media in general and Lemmy is really bad for it. Take for example the constant Elon Musk rage bait. No one is doing anything productive with that information. They're just getting mad

    1. Social media, in general, isn't a good way to get informed. It makes you feel really in touch but when a lot of the time you're getting biased and polarizing that is often as enraging as it is unproductive

    We treat politics like entertainment and it's making our politics worse. Personally I try to limit my exposure to politics that I don't think will be productive. It might feel like the most important thing in the moment but it's often a huge waste of time

  • "Suffering builds character". anarcho-primitivists, probably
  • That's a false dichotomy in a lot of the comments here

    We do both

    Carbon capture isn't so we can continue to use fossil fuels. It's because once we get to 0 emissions we still need to draw down the carbon in the atmosphere

    An ounce of prevention is almost always worth a pound of cure but we're still going to want that cure because every extra tenth of a degree we can bring the Earth back to normal is going to be worth it
