I am aure they’d rather be busy doing other things but if the Governmwnt starts taking liberties and shits on the Constitution, then we need someone to step up to the plate… Shame on the Government.

Was that a dude thrown off in the first bit ? Or some debris ?

All of them.

That shockwave from the Grad…woah…

Did it take the train out I was thinking a small drone won’t do abit aside from some fireworks on a diesel locomotive? Great target though, more of that

As an Australian, I apologise profusely for my shitty Governments lack of support ;(

Books, same as I do now as well.

I take your point but I’d like to say I can’t remember being bored since I was a kid and that was because you were forced to and I’m 57 now.

Looks like a decent commuter ? For the shitty cycle ways here in Australia. In ride a HT 29er (no e assist) for that now.

As an Australian I could not care wjaty the CCP knows about me, happy to send them as many butthole or dick pics photos as they want.

What concerns me is the invasiness of my own national government and its asshole FiveEyes conspirators. They can take my liberty. Those bastards I trust not one inch.

Yes, we live in a world were many serious people with serious credetrials can’t see lasting. and people go to a Taylor Swift concert or a Football game

There was an excellent allegory for this from Tamino many years ago that stuck with me. For those not in the know, he’s a statistician who works with climate scientists (amongst other things) like Professor Stefan Rhamstorf

https://tamino.wordpress.com/2016/02/03/how-to-destroy-a-megalopolis/

In fact I did it every day. One large pot of boiling hot water. The idea wasn’t to kill all the ants, or to eradicate their megalopolis in one crushing blow. The idea was simply to make it too costly, in terms of energy and time, for their complex of ant cities to be sustainable.

It worked.

After about two weeks, the ants were gone. Completely. I believe they just couldn’t stay there any more, it was just too difficult with such regular demands on repair. I don’t know whether the megalopolis died out, or they moved to a different location. But any way you look at it, I succeeded in destroying their megalopolis, because amid the continual assault of disasters, they simply weren’t able to keep up.

This is what can happen to us. Global warming isn’t going to come in one astounding assault and kill us all with one blow. It’s just going to make survival harder — a lot harder — with regular assaults like floods, droughts, heat waves, killer storms.

On my mobile I use a pixel 4, I tried Graphene OS but my banking failed so back to stock Android

Here in Australia I just use a physical card for tap and go for payments etc or use cash. No need for Google Pay or bank payments app. Can log in via my bank via a web browser to move cash about or check spending.

I think you demonstrated the entire point, people prefer invasive convenience over privacy., along with flimsy justification. Not having a go, it’s exactly what most people say when I query them about privacy, “It’s so much eaaier and how I manage” etc etc.

Then we have your FB messenger thing. Dead lord, stop that. If they don’t want to chat to me on Signal, they’re obviously not my friend.

I use a Nokia XR21 that I acquird for peanuts andnattaxhnwith a Quadlock. I use Kommot for mapping on it. It can do mapping, phone calls, music, photos and on and on etc

I like your America, you Americas are so unlike your America.

If we want to have a stable livable climate we need to.live with the emissions of the average Cuban (Professor Kevin Anderson) That allows the worlds poorest to have more emissions per capita and the worlds richest to come down a lot, and by a lot I mean a metric shit load.

How we do that and what that looks like is up to us but if we don’t soon, we’ll likely collapse. civilisation anyway and none if it will matter and we won’t be talking about it on here.

Good on them, modern day heroes.

This is an obvious lie though.no matter the words.

I’ve nwvwr met anyone who does.

Some evidence to supoort my assertion.

80% of Australians voted for climate deniers at the last national elections.

NZ voted for a National Givernwmt. Who had a policy fi reopening oil and gas exploration ffs

Netherlands votered for Gert Wilder’s FFS.

UKnlooks set to Vote Labour another climate denying political parry…Hell, climate isn’t even discussed.

US will Vote Biden or Trump, both climate deniers. Biden has approved morenoil and gas exploration then Trump did ffs

So no they do not .I’d suggest the number is closer to 10-15% based on voting polls.

That I prefer Lemmy to Mastodon.
