The planet =/= nature

Inefficient. Utilise your time to provide maximum benefit for the biosphere before you return to it. Nature is not a solo juggernaut - it needs us to help to our part.

The price of Bahn Mi is about to go up

What a cool country!

Exactly. It’s insane we need to remember details like this but here we are.

Or drilling oil

Yeah, God, that’s a difficult position to be put in.

Sorry man - you shouldn’t have to make choices like that… if you do have to take it, I’d try to ease my concious by redirecting their money. Like, I did that when I had to work for a for-profit contract company staffing Australias social services. KPIs for welfare phone lines staffed by undertrained whoevers. They’d penalise us for taking the time to help vulnerable people. Disgusting company - left the second I could afford to. I put something aside for local mutual aids and environmental groups.

God man - I’m sorry, that just sucks.

Good luck. Hope you can avoid Raytheon.

How did you start?? I’ve wanted to try it out for a while now but have no idea where to begin

Which, to be fair to them - everything is, you know? Nothing is really absent of politics because nothing is really absent of us.

God bless Lockheed Martin and Coca-Cola.

It’s called X blue now. Because that’s the colour of the… oh.

Brother, that’s not how we talk to people. Everyone here is treated like people and respected for their personhood. This isn’t a theatre for bigoted nonsense - there’s other platforms available if you want to attack people and get that out of your system.

Show people respect or leave people alone - but don’t be like that.

That’d be right, lol - thanks for the help parsing the context, I really did just assume it was earnest

Really? I never knew - are people starting to warm up on collecting Natgeos or has this been a thing around your neck of the woods/world for a while?

I’ve wanted to start with RSS for a while now - how did you get started, practically speaking? Any resources that helped you set yourself up comfortably/learn the ins-and-outs?

That sounds like something a bot would say…

One anecdotal chime in: I dropped the Zuck for a year and gradually realised that my city runs all its cultural events through Facebook - unless you know or someone invites you, that was pretty much it.

I think I did miss out on meeting new people or seeing old friends by chance, simply because I didn’t know to turn up somewhere for a gig or whatever - and the old addage has some truth imo; often you just need to be in the right place at the right time for things to happen.

Thank you for being here, Margot, lol

Yeah, damn - that cage match would have been one hell of a pay-per-view.

What a weird corporate hellscape we inhabit, lol.
