What we imagined the climate deniers would say when the climate catastrophes came vs. what they actually are saying - Tom the Dancing Bug
  • People are likely downvoting because you used the equivalent of a climate denialism dog whistle. It comes off as bad faith because when most people use the term climate change they mean anthropogenic climate change.

  • With the way the world's going, is there even a point to anything anymore?
  • Try to find meaning in whatever works for you. A lot of people find this in things like relationships, family, hobbies, interests and activism. Essentially, don't let the bastards grind you down. Existential philosophy may not be everyone's cup of tea but it can be helpful in navigating these kinds of issues.

  • How do I learn to detect logical fallacies in a conversation?
  • There's this app called cranky uncle and it goes through things like this and then helps to you learn how to identify them. It was developed by a university researchers in Australia with the aim of improving people's ability to recognise misinformation

  • Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?
  • Firstly I just want to say that this is really interesting post and I love that you've asked this question. Secondly, as someone who experienced child abuse I don't know where to even start in answering this question because as an adult I'm now in a space where I can actually feel my feelings and express them safely.

    I think life is maybe similar to being in a long term relationship. There are times when every little thing life does annoys you or times where it's just eh and you realise you need to actively spice things up. And then there are times when you are completely overcome by joy thinking about how much you love life, how much you've been through together, and how excited you are to spend the rest of your lives together.

    If you're looking for a suggestion on spicing things up I highly recommended jumping into some existential philosophy. It's like the intellectual equivalent of a roller coaster I guess.

  • Wish we didn’t live in a capitalist dystopia
  • Or just a classic socialist democracy would do fine. Doesn't even need to be dystopian just you know like what they have in Norway and shit.

  • [Meta] - Does this Brisbane community want news site links/posts?
  • Keep posting. These posts are vital in the eco system of my procrastination.

  • Are we gonna make a big difference after this migration?
  • I'm also sick of their bullshit algorithms and the whole engagement strategy of amplifying hate.

  • Anthony Albanese: The Time 100 Most Influential People of 2023
  • His mum was a single parent disability pensioner as well. Another thing he's never mentioned.

  • Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit.
  • I felt this way at first but the more time you spend away from reddit the more you realise how toxic of a place it is. I initially had planned to stay on there because I have communities on reddit that don't exist here. But I just couldn't do. The vibe on kbin / lemmy is just so much better and it feels refreshing to explore the internet in a new way. Reddit feels stagnant and gross in comparison now.

  • Severance
  • I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed severance. It was just so fresh and creative. I especially enjoyed the worker solidarity themes throughout.

  • So who else is new?
  • They went pretty hard for the reddit protest I think. Looks like a lot of people jumped over and stayed.

  • Think power price rises of 25% are bad? It could be much worse for many households
  • I was lucky to lock in a fixed rate with nectr for 12 months. Otherwise I'd be sitting in the dark.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Hopefully a step in the right direction towards a more sensible approach to drugs overall.

  • Dutton realising his voter base will shrink without affordable housing
  • The LNP are seen as the boomer party and it's going to be difficult for them to shake that. Plus making houses more affordable and helping those who are struggling under capitalism doesn't really mesh with their whole vibe. Conserving capital and distributing capital more equally are somewhat mutually exclusive.

  • r/aww is holding a poll to decide whether to only allow pictures of John Oliver being adorable
  • Looks like he's the internet's new boyfriend. Keanu must be devastated.

  • 60% of subreddits are still dark! Reddit activity down 30%
  • I'm having a similar experience in realising how much toxicity I've normalised on reddit. Going back on there now feels so absurd.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • They'll be the first to complain when the quality of their reddit experience starts to noticeably decline. I don't know how many people here have used the reddit app, but it's pretty shit. Especially after the recent changes. And personally I don't really want to use an app that limits moderation and has excessive advertising.
