    Same here, guess my puberty revolt was about me not getting rewarded for doing my best and being nice all the time. Fuck you world, you suck. Good thing I eventually came to see you have to be the good you want to see if you want to be ok with living in in this world.

    Not all your actions are equally meaningless. If you take short showers the lower demand for water and gas/electricity won’t do much but for certain alternatives a critical mass is needed and adding your weight to that mass can matter. Take diary for example, soy milk has existed for ages but the increased demand the last 20 years result in increased supply. Same goes for alternative meats. More people biking increases the need for infrastructure, if enough people make that decision that will change road design which will in turn result in it being less attractive to drive. Same with public transport.

    Climate laws and regulations will have a much more traceable impact, but the untraceable results of your individual action also has an impact.

    If you care about having a large impact without large sacrifices there are articles online that go deeper into this.











  • I’m pretty aware of the housing prices, what the fuck does that have to do with anything?

    The graph is literally about housing prices

    You were talking about “bregret” which sounds like a dig at Brexit? The housing crisis has zero to do with that - and absolutely everything to do with the natural result of Neoliberalism.

    Brexit is also a result of neoliberalism, I mentioned it because if remain had won (= the tories wouldn’t be in power the years after the vote), their housing prices would be less like NZ and Canada and more like the European average. That would still be a problem, I’m not implying everything would be fine for UK if they didn’t vote for brexit just like I’m not implying everything is fine in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe.
