Summary:

In "Climate Deniers Shift Tactics to ‘Inactivism’," Michael Mann discusses the transition from climate change denial to a new strategy of hindering meaningful action on climate change, which he terms "inactivism." Fossil fuel interests, previously focused on discrediting climate science, now deflect attention from systemic solutions and promote individual responsibility for climate change. Tactics include promoting the idea that lifestyle choices, not corporate policies, drive climate change, and sowing division within the environmental community. Mann argues for policy interventions and highlights the optimism inspired by young activists demanding action on climate change.

Since I am not in anyway inclined to go read their code, I probably will just trust FF's "recommended" flag until there is an obvious problem. Of course, when it is like that, then it's too late. I tried the "Dark theme" on FF for a little bit, switch back to using Dark Reader in no time.

Wrapping a joint, the right way.

That's probably for blissful living!

Excellent! Thank you for sharing. 👍

Hey, that's how I find out the world news nowadays. Submarine implosion, armed rebellion, mysterious plane crash, those all came through.

There seems to be 20, some nonextant.

I personally think you have to be careful. If they don't like your application and find that you are not disclosing the information, it might become a justification to reject the application. Remember that there are 3rd parties that massively correlate internet data that are sold to governments and corporations. Unless you accounts definitely cannot be linked to your real identity, there is a chance that they will find out what social accounts you have anyway.

It seems more or less. Have you seen the recent news about US government's arrangement to have an eastern European country running a platform to collect data on its own citizens to skirt around the warrant law? If citizens are being treated as such, how are non-citizens being treated?

This article specifically addresses Visa applications. So, if the person is already applying for a citizenship, there is most likely already a residency which doesn't require Visa on entry. There also seems to be a different set of rules for people already in the country. From the article:

And while the court recognized the First Amendment rights of noncitizens currently present in the United States who limit their online speech because they may need to renew a visa in the future, it held that the federal government’s regulation of immigration should be granted significant deference.

A continuation of Annihilation.

Things to be hopeful

The challenges posed by climate change are real and pressing, but I believe that the apocalyptic views dominating these discussions lack a strong scientific basis. Much of what we see represents the most dramatic studies. It’s essential to consider that there are numerous studies showing a much less dire future that are overlooked or underrepresented in the media. By acknowledging the complexity of the issue and taking a balanced approach to the available scientific evidence, we can better understand the challenges ahead and work toward a more optimistic and solution-oriented outlook.

Perpetuating this legacy is important so that ignorance does not govern this world. At the end of the day, we will adapt, and his generation will live a life that is different than ours. By keeping in mind that what matters most in the end is happiness and the community that surrounds you, life is worth living.

You’re going to hear a lot of people saying extreme things about this like “We’re all doomed” or “The world won’t be able to support life in 20 years.” But science has shown that it’s not too late to solve this problem before it becomes unmanageable. There are a lot of people who do understand the problem and are working really hard to solve it. There are great ideas out there for fixing this, such as how to use less energy and, for the energy that we must use, how to get it from the sun or the wind instead of burning more fossil fuels.

The bro is going 🤷‍♂️ .

Not good to be pessimistic, but Soylent Green, here we come.

After all, Charlie Brown, you live in a cartoon's world.

Concentrate just at the tip of your nose where the breath touches the tip leaving the body, when your breath in, think "in", when you breath out, think "out". Determine to keep you mind at that, but be relaxed while doing it. Works well when you are already tired, i.e. at the time that you usually go to sleep.

This is like, thought replacement. It's a "Buddhist" technique.

Growth toward mass migration, major world-population reduction, possibly climate cycles that are less hospitable to humans...

haha, here are the post growth policies that were recommended:

• scale down energy-intensive and less-necessary forms of production (how else am I going to get richer?)

• reduce the consumption of the rich (what's the point of being rich?)

• shift from private cars to public transit (tell that to the poster boy EM)

Turn it off and put it in a Faraday-cage bag.

Did this happen recently? Does it happen to all posts? A bunch of admins purge images from their servers to get rid of CSAMs, leaving some images broken.

The other thing is, since the same admins also now dictate that the clients fetch images directly from the community's server, if the server is unreachable (as most often happens with lemmy.world), the images may not be loadable.
