Corpos consolidating power and buying off politicians are killing this planet. Policies/laws kill the planet. Individual responsibility is a farce. Do what you love. Be Happy.

I'd just amend that to do what you can. Yeah, you're not going to change the world, but you can have a small, positive impact.

[–] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Absolutely. In your community, in your garden, in your daily interactions.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

I see we're on the same page. It's a matter of scopes I guess.

Seek the truth, always.

There is a difference between what is necessary and what is sufficient.

It is necessary for us to stop buying meat to curb the climate catastrophe.

[–] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not in my opinion. If beef cost as much as it should it would naturally become a much smaller part of everyone's diet; however, the policies and the lobbying I was referencing in original comment keep it exploitative and artifically cheap.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Both are necessary. Neither is sufficient.

[–] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

lol if you say so I guess

First it’s cigarettes. Ok, fine.

Then it’s eggs/red meat. Um…

Then it’s alcohol at any amount. Hey!

Microplastics in my balls. Um…

You sure as shit ain’t giving us cost of living increases (minimum), meds that don’t have like 50 crazy (and debilitating, if not fatal) side effects, and everyone frowns on suicide as an answer. You gotta give us something! 😢

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just let people enjoy their testicular microplastic in peace, jesus!

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The 3D printing community needs to step up and popularize printing using ball plastic as a means of recycling/reuse.

"Find what you love and let it kill you" --not Charles Bukowski, see below (edited)

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've read a lot of Bukowski and found it odd that I didn't remember this particular turn of phrase. Turns out, this is a misattribution according to ther Quote Investigator: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/05/29/find-love/

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good sleuthing. I can see why someone would think it's Bukowski.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Right? It really has that feel to it

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hate how many music artists I've found and loved only to find the people behind the music are complete shitbags. Just to name a few that have been on my mind lately:

  • Dance Gavin Dance
  • Crystal Castles
  • P. Diddy, of course, but nobody knew he was a shitbag until recently.
[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, artists who do terrible things or support bad causes are always a bummer. I really liked the band Haim, who just put out a new record. But I got suspicious to check and sure enough, their whole family is extremely Zionist, they just keep somewhat quiet about it.

Crystal Castles was a real blow too, and scary\sad how long predators like Ethan or Dr. Luke can thrive in the music industry.
