Weird anectode, we used to have 50 acres behind Coffs Harbour (48 acres of bush), when we had excess we’d sell some to the local organic wholesaler. She inisited it was perfect or customers wouldn’t buy it. I was kind of bemused because the only way it’s getting that way in any volume is pesticides.
Another anecdote, we had all sorts of different fruit but they onky wanted the same fruit you get supermarkets, as that was all that sold (apple, bananas, mandarins and oranges…we only had the latter two)
As has been discussed already here in this community, the key takeaway from the bear hypothetical is that it is an opportunity to truly listen to the lived experiences of women under patriarchal systems. I encourage “first response” to the bear discussion to head back to this post, as I am looking for discussion kind of...
I said ok, her choice and moved into the next meme/story.
I must admit to not understanding the furore that then arose and don’t know why men (am a man) were getting butt hurt. Why would I care if women prefer the company of bears in the woods.
Assuming you're an anarchist or otherwise leftist radical, what radicalized your position?
For me it was a combination of seeing the rampart corruption of the Greek state and the sloth and hypocrisy of the KKE in my own family. Then afterwards it was the alienation of my own wage-slavery.

Or how do elders deal with what other citizens would take for granted in terms of mobility?
Currently they alll use little electric mobility scooters, in cycle lanes when available, bacause its too dangerous to be any where there are cars here in Australia.
How do those with epilepsy get around, they can’t drive at least they can’t here in Australia. One lady with epilepsy I knew rode a little electric scoot, she loved having her independence.
What happens to people when they loose thier license in the US ?
That’s sort of misleading though. They say they discarded the hot model runs becase paleoclimatology research tended to suggest suggest that couldn’t happen. Hausfather etal. Andrew Dressler was involved and had a response on Mastodon
However :) people like Professor Janson Box etal suggested it will happen way faster then most models predict.
The precautionary principal (because we have no planet B) should have us doing everything we can to get in front of this. Worst case scenario, rich asshole high emitters have to live like ordldinary folk more quickly. We can keep ignoring it until we collapse civilization like John Schellenhuber etal suggest, which does seem to be the option we’ve chosen.
I don’t think it matters either way, we ignore it because it’s inconvenient not becase we dont have the tech. We have long known how to ride a bicycle and stop flying for example… we just keep emitting, emissions increased again last year.
