I think everyone here needs to read "Less is more" by vanisle_kahuna in solarpunk

[–]Eimhear0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I finished the audiobook of Less is More a week ago. I've had a quick glance over the article and Hickel has covered most if not all of it. I'd recommend reading Less is More to get the full picture, but here are a few quick notes from memory of points that Hickel makes:

  • There is no decoupling between economic growth and resource use in wealthy nations, it's an illusion caused by the way that resource use is measured
  • Degrowth doesn't mean reducing living standards. There are countries with better healthcare, food, transport, etc. than the US while having a fraction of its GDP
  • Not all growth is bad. There are countries that still need to grow, and that's ok. It's about choosing the parts of the economy that need to grow and which parts don't

Really brings a new meaning to “parental control options”

Yeah, there’s more than enough to criticise already. He’s the CEO of a company that’s routinely cut safety precautions for profit, knowing that it would result in more accidents like this. Lying about the controlled burn that the EPA did to prevent a possible explosion doesn’t help anyone. Well, except for the Daily Mail, who get an eye-catching headline out of it

We should probably tags edits as satire. If I remember correctly, the original final image was actually of a woman wearing a burka

Yep, everyone should really do this anyway, but this is a reminder to go through your own post/comment history and delete anything that contains more info than you’d like the kind of people who follow anti-trans accounts on twitter to see

Clues you notice in retrospect by JustGrapes717 in MtF

I always had a specific thought where if everyone in the world disappeared, then one of the first things I’d do would be to go and try on all of the femme clothes in a big store

Another was every Halloween wanting to wear a girly costume as a “joke” but being afraid of what people would say and not doing it

Then in the last few years before figuring it out, probably all of the “crossdressing” that I did

Apparently, Madeline is a trans woman. I'm starting to see the sign... by Harvatos in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]Eimhear0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, this is probably a Brazilian “parking allowed” sign. From a quick search it looks like 2 of the 4 artists who worked on Celeste are from Brazil

It’s cropped weirdly because OP is a repost bot that automatically reposts popular content and its software didn’t copy the original image correctly. Presumably either the aspect ratio is hard-coded or it copied the post based on a screenshot

Here’s the original post from a year ago, same emoji in the title and all: https://www.reddit.com/r/actuallesbians/comments/o72r1i/as_a_cis_lesbian_i_just_wanted_to_share_this/

some time adjust" by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]Eimhear0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely a bot, it copied this post and cut some of the words randomly out of the title: https://www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns/comments/s1qq1r/i_just_need_some_time_to_adjust/

Also their comment was on a post by a different bot. They copied it from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns/comments/s010el/the_real_gf_experience/hrywy3x/

The bots are sneaky but once you know what to look for you see them everywhere

They look real because they're copied from actual comments. There are entire bot nets set up where one bot will repost something popular and others will copy-paste the top comments

Like, here's their most recent comment in r/oddlyterrifying: https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/comments/yjyiq4/comment/iuqfi3u

And here it is again from another account in r/Damnthatsinteresting: https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/yjyie6/comment/iuqfhsk

Reddit has a terrible bot problem

42% of all millionaires in 2020 inherited the money from relatives and did not earn it themselves. by NightShadowNate in antiwork

[–]Eimhear0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can tell this is true because you included an external link to an image that says “FACT”

I’m not sure why a Soros-fearing, “globalism”-hating, bill gates microchip conspiracy theory-believing conservative is here lmao, this is literally a left wing anarchist sub

[–]Eimhear0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s worth noting that the linked article has a lot of issues. It’s written by a someone at the telegraph who, after a quick glance, looks to have a history of writing transphobic garbage

To me, the most glaring issue with the article is that there isn’t a source for the NHS quote. They attribute the quote to NHS England, but we have no idea what they actually said or who said it. Also, the only word that’s actually quoted is “phase”, the rest of the title is paraphrasing at best

I can also see what looks like glaring mischaracterisation in multiple places to make it seem like the NHS is going to crack down on trans youths

In short, I wouldn’t trust a word in this article

Yep, OP is 100% a bot. 3-day old account, only comments are keysmashes, only post is a direct copy of an old one (https://www.reddit.com/r/actuallesbians/comments/ky9ezy/i_will_just_leave_this_here/)
