Sorry for the f word insult.

You think we should just stop all industries then?

We live in a capitalist world that is exploiting the planet for profit and will continue to do so until it dies, which scientists are telling us we are coming up on.

Most of the industries of the world do not exist for the benefit of humans, they exist for the benefit of those who want to rule and hoard resources. We are brought up in a culture they control that tells us their products are important and to desire them.

Ultimately, I don't think it's ok to cause harm to living things and ecosystems to prop up this system. Like, how many people is it ok to kill so that we have cell phones? Rockets are just a particularly egregious example way of thinking, just like fashions shows are. So yes, I think if our species expects to exist in 100 years on a planet that still has forests and whales, it will require the end most industries we know today. Degrowth of some sort is the only way forward that doesn't end in disaster. Rocket use at the level of 2024 is simply not compatible with sustainability.

All industries destroying the planet are responsible including fast fashion, rockets are not allowed to harm people because "they're important". Important to what? Important to profits, important to american military and cultural hedgemony, important to innovation of more unnecessary products to sell to even further degrade the ecosystem?

No you go fanboy over fascist rocket boy.

Heaven and hell needing gates is worrying. I suspect their purpose is containment.

I'm not a 5th grade teacher, it's not my responsibility to explain these concepts. A person making comments about election operations should have a clue about those operations.

I didn't realize the unfortunate collection of atoms referred to as "leon" had a mother. I assumed it coalesced out of the warm santorum between Peter Thiel and JD Vance.

I see a comprehension of U.S. political party operations was not installed in your head.

Pointless reply, not all suffering has the same cause of course, but most of the unnecessary suffering (i.e. that suffering of all sentient beings on top that which occurs due to the nature of life itself) is caused by human activity, specifically where selfish individuals have felt entitled to cause suffering in others, destroy ecosystems, extinct species, and oppress peoples in pursuit of their goals.

The world is not ours to consume.

I'm ashamed I fell for her scam in 2016, was in CA though so wasn't worried my vote would directly help the orange waste of baryonic matter.

If I was given the choice by a genie, on the one side you have your laptop, Lemmy, car, etc, but millions of people an animals suffer, or on the other hand, our tech evolves more slowly and sustainably, I'd choose the latter every time.

I'll take being 30 years behind and still have <insert any species we've driven extinct>. An entitlement to the lives and well being of others for the sake of "progress" is pretty sick.

Guarantee that guy is a power bottom that simply cannot accept himself.

Ya, it's also massive ecological damage so we can all go "ooooh ahhh!"

Republicans have effectively captured the stupid, there is no need in their operations for accuracy, consistency, truth, or anything like that.

Pledges reek of authoritarianism to me, so maybe replace it with a common saying like "Be excellent to each other because we have no more or less entitlement to this world than any other being and our individual perspective is at best a tiny viewport not to be confused with reality"

I hate desert nazis

Git stash is terrible if you have anything like ADHD.

Bad by association and the hivemind are my faves, I particular enjoy:

• "Evolutionary psychology is inherently bad, useless, and only stupid people could have such thoughts. Science as I understand it is the only valid way of thinking."

• "Dosing a population with fluoride via tap water is inherently a 100% good thing and to question it implies ones utter stupidity, drugging a population this way with any other substance would be unthinkable though."

• "Guns for civilians have no use other than school shootings, no good person should want a gun they must be banned."

• "Boomers caused all of our problems, despite the fact that I also willingly participate in all the harmful systems that caused these problems."
