Let the Murricans fight it out and fix the mess they started. They shouldn’t have nice things if they think fascism and fucking up the planet are the way to go.
And yes, I also mean those that didn’t actively support Trump but aren’t fighting back.
Good.
Gizmodo still exists 😲

Calm down. It’s pretty well-known in economic circles that increasing taxes on a good will reduce consumption of said good, unless it’s absolutely lime maybe baby formula. Even then some poor people are likely to be priced out of the market or at least forced to reduce consumption.
The income from a tax is generally not tied to a specific cause in most countries. If all it does is reducing meat consumption that would be a net benefit for the climate. And in this case also be beneficial for the economy as res meat isn’t healthy and contributes to a lot of disease among the population.
The ballpark numbers seem well in line with similar studies I have seen elsewhere. So while I don’t doubt there might be minor flaws in this particular source material, the point still stands.
We shouldn’t nitpick too much about stuff that’s generally trying very hard to get facts right while the right or making up shit left, right and center and call fact-checking a limitation of their free speech.
Suggestion: point out flaws but also confirm that it’s definitely not just made up and probably largely correct
I might be able get behind this argument when you talk about the rules on plastic straws. But red meat is terrible for the environment. As is driving cars. Especially ICE and especially when it’s just one person, i.e. most work commutes. Another thing is heating/ cooling homes btw.
I personally think there are a lot of small things we should do as individuals but I understand not everyone might want to do them. I also agree that it’s up to governments to do a lot of heavy lifting. That can be things like establishing district heating or improving public transport. But maybe it can also be adding higher taxes on red meat.
Oh no! The people living there acted like it “was their town”? That sounds horrible!
Well, in Germany the chancellor is ordering the illegal border stops and continuing them despite courts ordering him to stop.

In this case I have too little insight. But it’s quite clear how biased these reports are in Germany. Anyone not absolutely German is immediately a terrorist and every white, German dude is a confused loner. Media never suspects that mental issues based on trauma from war and refugee journeys might be a good reason or that guys voting for right wing extremists and killing “woke” people might have anything to do with their political views.
Tried that many times. It has given me the exact same place for slightly cheaper than AirBnB once. Other times it was more expensive but most often of simply had worse choices.
I guess: great concept, shitty company.
Like with so many “tech giants”, they had a great idea but greed is spoiling it. I wish we had more “public infrastructure” for this. I’d love to have OSS, tax-funded or at least heavily regulated SoMe, video sharing, home swapping/renting, local marketplace, … Those should not be industries, they should be part of our society’s fabric like the fire department or trash pick-up.
I share a lot of of the criticism towards AirBnB. However, I’ve often ended up using them either way. We travel with a dog and a toddler. They need to be allowed in the first place. And ideally we get a kitchen, a separate room so we can still have normal noise and light when the kid sleeps. Often we even find Airbnbs with toys, kids books, dog beds, treats on the table when we arrive, …
You simply don’t get that in hotels. At least not in a price range I’ve considered so far
Thanks! But I could easily read the full article without seeing a paywall in this case
At this point being banned might be a good thing to drive home the point that also my favorite of the old corporate internet platforms should be avoided. I’m doing quite okay on staying away from Meta and have long deleted my Twitter account. I can’t get myself do drop Reddit somehow. Seems like they’re only helping me get off my addiction
After testing a bunch I am now using HERE WeGo maps a lot. Less detailed on local shops and restaurants but has some reviews, opening hours etc Has great route planning including for bike and public transport.
More free would be CoMaps but that’s really mostly grey’s mapping and turn-by-turn and very little info on shops apart from them existing.
