Same. Often finish the can with a feeling of disappointment and thirst.

You think the US has been sending weapons and money to Ukraine for the last 2yrs out of the kindness of its heart? Fuck no. The US has benefited immensely from the status quo and stands to lose a lot if Russian imperialism is not checked here and now. The only reason the US can even contemplate giving less is because Russia is so fucked from the last 2yrs.

What you see as “begging for money and guns” is just an observation of reality - a small country like Ukraine cannot stand up to a huge one like Russia without support, and it benefits the west greatly to give that support.

US foreign policy is not charitable and never has been.

Also lest we not forget that this is exactly what good relations and alliances are for - to give aid to the one in need because we’re stronger together. It stands to reason that those with the most, should also give the most.

Oh and BTW, the EU has given more to Ukraine than the US has.

Yeay this was the update that killed Jerboa for me.

Now on Voyager which seems much nicer. And actually works.

Yeah good point I forgot about those…such a damn shame because it also makes it really hard for the honestly ignorant because it’s like “no stfu I actually need to know this!”

When you say they’re born with the “wrong sex” do you mean they have chromosomes commonly associated with one gender, but have the genitalia of another?

I’m sensitive to hurting people’s feelings on this issue so just stear clear of ever asking questions or stating opinion on it - plus I’m hardly qualified for the latter. Sadly the side effect of this is that I am completely ignorant. Even more sad: I’d rather be ignorant than a pariah. Too many people getting ostracised for being ignorant.

That’s not what I said, it isn’t 25% of all emissions, and I didn’t say it wasn’t worth it. I pointed out that the deaths from lack of cars without a plan would outweigh the lives saved by removing cars.

It absolutely is worth finding a way to remove cars in their current form. There are also far more effective things we can do, like eat less meat.

Thank you. The reading comprehension on this thread has been worrying…

My comment wasn’t meant to suggest someone was making that argument - I was just setting the premise for my question.

I dont know why my genuine curiosity has triggered so many people…I was hoping for some rational suggestions that I could incorporate into my lifestyle.

As for going back to what it was like 70 years ago…I find it unlikely. There are a lot more people on the planet than there were back then and prosperity is broadly increasing…in reality we’ll transition to more sustainable and healthy living which I think entails better urban planning and greater government action on pollution.

Awesome thanks for the write up! The headphones I’m replacing are XM3 but I’ve had them over 5 years now I think and they’re showing their age (just aesthetically as the cushions are starting to crack, and flaking isn’t far away imo) so I suspect I’ll go for the XM5 as I’ve been really happy with these.

For gaming I think I’ll stick with steelseries (assuming they still have a model that does replaceable batteries) as I always forget to charge stuff so the base station charging the spare has been awesome.

Thanks again!

I’m also in the market for new headphones! Wireless. I currently have a pair for gaming and a pair for music/travelling. It’s critical the travelling pair have outrageously good sound cancelling. Both must have a mic. Unlimited budget.

Have at thee!

What would you use in place of cars?

Obviously just outlawing cars tomorrow would cause mass deaths around the world as society isn’t equipped to deal with it, so what could we transition to?

My assumption is that you’d suggest public transport for all? But that wouldn’t save us, as only about 1/4 of transport emissions come from cars, it’d just make us die a little slower.

Edit: if the next 5 people to downvote this could leave a reply it’d be appreciated. I try my best to do my bit for the environment but I depend on my car to participate in my local community given, and so I’d like to know what the ideal solution is? What should I be asking my representative to be voting for?

I don’t know you, your life or your struggles and I’m not qualified to offer any kind of professional help or input, so please- spend the energy you’re spending on Lemmy on seeking help from someone who loves you, a suicide prevention charity or a professional who can help with these thoughts. Worst case scenario - nothing changes and you’ve lost nothing. Best case; things change and you have a happy life.

What little I do know of you: you have access to the Internet, you know at least a little bit of technology, and you speak English. These things alone mean you probably live a better life than billions of other people. Perhaps all you need is a little bit of perspective.

Suicide? It doesn’t take courage to do that, it takes courage to live on.

Please seek help if you are considering suicide - you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain by living.

Yeah you’re right I don’t know what I was smoking when I wrote that.

YouTube does implement DRM for its subscription content apparently as well.

One of us. One of us.

This was true of IE too.

All of this has happened before, and will happen again.
