So why are 12 climate organizations across the nation — including Third Act, the climate action group for people over 60 that I helped found — suddenly turning their attention to Costco and asking it to change its ways? Well, as is sometimes the case with basically good people, Costco has gone a little astray by hanging...
The university should be the place demonstrating socioecological change, serving as a site of experimentation and praxis (see Dunlap et al., 2023). This, however, could not be further from the truth. Beside advancing technologies of digital, political and military control (Chatterjee & Maira, 2014), not to mention genetic...
They are but until “apes together strong” takes peoples minds nothing will change. People feel powerless to do anything so companies just get away with it
I think as a child I got viruses from one of the ads, you know, the ones would put on the side of the site. We had to call in a guy, to clean parents’ computer. I felt really guilty and never touched those ads again....
Oh you idiot resource hoarder: capitalism got us here because it values profit over anything else. It cant get us out of a problem that isnt about profit. It can only create more problems with its greed.
“Lets make 50 competing services while people have less buying power than ever. Everything will be $15 if you want anything of value. P.s. the thing you wanted leaves next month HURRY”
Good thing stupid ai and crypto companies are turning on old coal power plants so with “”““AI””“” they can tell us to eat glue on pizza and spout racist tirades
You will never be able to consistently find the truth when AI optimizes for overfitting to get any result as long as something is show with ads next to it.

And yet they are very very different each strain. Doesnt matter if “indica” is fake, they test how it smoked and declare it that type and it is a meaningful difference.
Things marked sativa give me headaches inevitably. Hybrids and indica marked bud doesnt. There is a difference in how breeds effect you, despite incorrect colloquial naming.
I don’t care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the “blue vs green bubble” drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure...
Your phone privacy is owned by your isp and the OS maker. You arent doing the world any better being on android. Google is fucking awful too. Both are awful and should be broken up. They are way too large and powerful and only having 2 phone OSes in the world everyone runs made by 2 greeeeedy ass corporations is the problem neither of you can solve gloating about which evil corp you give money to to interact with modern society.
My disenchantment is based on how differently the current administration reacts to 2 conflicts: Ukraine-Russia and Gaza-Israel, in the latter supporting Israel’s indiscriminate war against Palestinian civilians with the excuse to exterminate Hamas.

The us political system isnt about voting for who you want doing what you want. Its about who’s gonna kill less people over time sadly. Dems are center right and GOP is far right but we dont have a choice we can go for that wont result in a split vote allowing things to get even worse. The american political system is broken trash and there isnt room for a third party very very on purpose.
