Delusions of self-confidence in their skills due to having an in-demand job. Once supply meets demand and their wages fall to the norm, tech bros won’t have that insane level of confidence in having “won” Capitalism.
Well everyone’s journey is different. I started with just finding out how cool programming is, learned about foss, and then one day said “why doesn’t everything follow foss principles?”
my dad bought me a samsung galaxy ace, because an iphone was too expensive. now i run around with a fairphone telling people how great linux is (i never used linux for more than a day)
C’est plus rêche et grossier que le coton mais un peu plus fin que le lin mais ça dépend aussi beaucoup du traitement des fibres entre le sac a patate et un vêtement moderne. Par contre ça froisse moins que le lin, mais c’est un peu plus chiant à repasser que le coton.
26% des pesticides à l’échelle mondiale ? 26% des pesticides utilisés pour la production de vêtements à l’échelle mondiale ? en masse ? J’imagine que c’est par rapport à la masse de pesticides utilisée en tout à l’échelle mondiale.
Comment la quantité d’eau utilisée peut être aussi précise ?
De plus, on a aucune information sur comment ont été récoltées les données, donc il n’est pas possible de vérifier sans faire de recherche approfondie.
Je suis d’accord avec ces limites, après c’est plutôt consensuel (à ma connaissance) que le coton est une plante assez fragile et qui demande beaucoup d’eau.
Le problème du lin, c’est que tu peux repasser ta chemise pendant 2 heures et au bout de 10 minutes de port on dirait que tu viens de la sortir en boule d’un sèche linge. J’adore la sensation d’une chemise en lin, mais ressembler à un clodo ca m’a fait arrêter d’en porter. :]
I wonder how many of the people upvoting are themselves upper middle class, living super priviledged lives compared to the vast majority of humans on the planet.
“I am living within reasons, look at him”, has always been the favourite strategy for shifting middle class guilt.
There you go, attack your allies. Not even upper class, just upper middle class. We’re so wealthy I can afford to take my family to the local artisanal Pizza place! Our RAV4 is the hybrid edition! Can’t afford private school, but our public schools are nice!
It’s us versus them my man. I’m a lot closer to poor than I am to a private jet.
I always find the plastic straw thing being lumped in with climate change to be really annoying. Banning plastic straws isn’t about climate change, it’s about litter and waste. The problem with them is that they were getting all over the place and fucking with ecosystems. Fighting climate change is part of environmentalism, that doesn’t mean all environmentalism goes towards fighting climate change.
Banning plastic straws isn’t about climate change, it’s about litter and waste.
Climate change is also a consequence of our productivism and “waste”, by burning fossile fuels. We create too much stuff, we consume too fast that Earth can’t restore itself fast enough.
Banning plastic straws was common sense, but it’s not enough.
Also, at least in the EU, the laws have not just banned public straws but also a bunch of other single-use, non-degradable items. Plastic cutlery, qtips, and takeout food containers were banned too or severely limited. And there’ve been a lot of improvements that incentivise reusable containers over throwaway ones too.
The thing with single use containers is, that its not really existent. Its not enforced and a lot of restaurants don’t care. I’ve never seen a single reusable food container in my entire life.
Even though I think banning unnecessary plastic items is fine and can lead to sensible innovation/more reuse, the debate around it is just a misdirection. Way more microplastic is due to car tyres or.fishing nets. Those have very big industries behind them that will fight tooth and nail against any regulation.
Reminds me of the plastic soda rings that ended up destroying enormous amounts of sea life just by getting trapped around animals’ necks and torsos.
Now we just use cardboard to hold beers, its functionally the same price, and the only thing filling up the oceans are the aluminum cans and the paper waste.
At least aluminum degrades better than plastics, is easier recyclable, and is worth much more (all incentives to recycle). We should add 50cts. on each alu can which is returned when you return the can. Watch how fast this issue resolves itself, then.
Paper is also at least very recyclable to the point that making paper out of paper is less Energy intensive than paper from wood. Only issue is bleaching, I guess?
The real crime of this meme is tying climate change to the hypocrisy of some elites. Yes, some are hypocrites who fly private jets while preaching climate change. they’re dumb. But the majority of my conservative friends use exactly this hypocrisy as evidence that climate change is a problem, and I see plenty of people here on Lemmy using it to justify not making any personal changes in their lives.
I feel like in the current climate of attitudes towards the super wealthy, they’re taking steps to insulate themselves from “the commoners” like us.
Yes I know it’s been that way forever; gated communities, etc… heck, even castles if you go back far enough.
But this new private jet thing seems like now even moderately wealthy people, those who would have likely in the past just flown first class, are trying to insulate themselves from a growing mob.
“I’m being crushed alive by 500 lbs but what really gets me is that Steve added 50 lbs. I mean, everyone else added 5 lbs! It’s not like I don’t want the 450 lbs off of me. It’s just really unfair to lift the 450 and not address the 50.”
