I agree, let's end subsidies for the industries that are fucking up the climate. Fuck all the weak snowflakes who don't want to change their meat consumption. How hard is it to not eat beef? Not hard, people are just weak. So hit them in the wallet then, if that's what it takes.
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

Theres no such thing as a corporation without consumers, we are where the buck is created, and where the buck stops.
Absolutely correct, glad to have read your comment. People need to start realizing they play a role in what's to come. It's a terrible mentality to think we don't all have our effect on the future.
I would get them to end all subsidies for the beef industry if I could. Unfortunately I'm not in control of that, all I can do is bring up discussion, and I got you to comment, so I succeeded.
No, they don't. I used to smoke, nicotine is a fucking bitch of a drug, somehow I managed to quit using vaping and nicotine gum over 2 years. Beef is not an addictive chemical. You must never have experienced nicotine drug, what a naive ass comment to make.
Put the corporate tax rate back up to 40% or more and implement a 10% robot tax on top of that. Then after that, implement a UBI starting at $1000 a month for US citizens with no strings attached, increasing with inflation over time. Solved for the next decade.
Thankfully electric vehicles are becoming cheaper then ICE vehicles which is a very good sign that we don't need as many rare earth metals. Unfortunately for renewable technology we still need rare earth metals, and they need to be mined using fossil fuels first. That's the stage we're at right now. We still need to get much better at recycling which I believe we will.
Oh and anyone that says electric vehicles are worse for the environment than ICE vehicles are idiots and shills. ICE vehicles also rely on rare earth metals and produce significant air pollution.

I wonder if you're capable of experiencing the irony of writing that, or are just as stupid as you claim all humans to be. Are you stupid? Do you trust yourself to write things that make sense? Just asking based on your own generalized claim. Unless of course you are a bot, then this comment is a waste of time.

Doesn't sound insane to me, sounds like a perfect example of the state of the US healthcare system. I stopped paying for healthcare 2 years ago, best decision I ever made.
I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don't want people to use their shit anymore. I'm starting to believe in the dead internet theory.
Your assumption that SSI would be somehow removed or replaced is shit. Universal basic income should never be based on income, it goes against the entire point. Universal basic income would be on top of any existing benefits and wouldn't impact any other benefits.
I would start working on a cyclical algae production system that would work indoors and rely on renewable energy. It would need to be built somewhere with plenty of sun and water. The goal would be to produce dried compacted algae to use for fuel while being carbon negative.
The message should be for the US to stop sending money to Israel. Israel isn't going to stop this shit in the name of "peace". The best any US citizen can do is constantly berate the US for sending money to Israel. Biden needs to know he'll lose to the orange man in November if he doesn't take note. When you protest you need a...
I agree Biden is the clearly better candidate, I just don't have faith that the average person will vote if discontent continues to rise. I'm not the one who's out protesting, but the US needs to stop sending money to Israel.

Iran is one of the biggest threats to global stability alongside Russia at this point. If they keep fucking around with Israel they're going to feel Freedom at full force launched right up their fucking ass.

He doesn't need to thank us, he deserves our thanks for fighting against fascism. Some of the best money the US has ever spent. Now, redirect all money from Israel to Ukraine.
I haven't been enjoying it too much but it has been alright, I'm giving it a pass. If it continues this way though I'm not going to like it. My main complaints so far:
spoiler
In the first episode they just let Vault 32 people into Vault 33 after he makes a speech about not knowing what the surface is like or what humanity has become like. You'd think there'd have been the slightest amount of precaution especially after they make it clear that it's been a long time, and there was an unexpected change of overseer. You'd think her father would remember at least some of the people from the last exchange, you'd think at least one person would have checked in Vault 32, you'd think one person would have checked the radiation levels or that there would be some automated system. And holy shit the fight scene between Maximus in the power armor and The Ghoul, he could have crushed his arms and head like 3 times and instead chose to throw him over and over again? Even with a new user of the power armor, if he got a grasp of an enemy could just crush their bones.
as far as we know he’s about as inexperienced as one could be.
Incorrect, he grew up around the power armor, he asked Titus in the vertiberd if he had modified his power armor for mobility. He clearly knew a lot about the power armor, you'd think he'd have read the user manual many times since he was a child. To assume Maximus' character only knows as much as anyone else about power armor is seriously hard to believe.
That's fair, which is the reason I'm giving it a pass. It does feel like it's embracing video game logic which is fine by me. Not everything needs to be realistically believable to be fun to watch. Thanks for writing that, it's helping shift my perspective a bit, I want to enjoy it and I think this will help.
One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?

It's not France's obligation to allow migrants into their society. France is an awesome country with awesome people, that doesn't mean they should be held liable for non-citizens who forcefully enter their country. Their tolerance has been much higher than most countries. Look at China, what the fuck are they doing to help migrants? What about India, Russia or Brazil?

A universal basic income to the ultra wealthy would be perceived by them as being given a couple pennies every month
The way someone with $100,000,000 would perceive $1000 is how someone with $100,000 would perceive $1.
If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time?
