Honestly though don’t get too caught up in it. It’s the same as paper straws, a lot of this is constructed to make you feel like personal consumption has any leverage on any of this when the real consuming powers have nothing to do with us at all. You think Amazon gives a shit about a Prime subscription when AWS is taking a cut of every circular A.I. transaction that’s quickly trying to crash the economy into the ground?
Just don’t stress youself out about it, and don’t judge anyone too harshly. Unless they’re a real asshole about it.
Yep I get it. Just like I really try not to waste as much as possible and recycle what I possibly can and all but theres just some shit in plastic you have to throw (like wrapping on vegetables or meat packs etc). I hate doing it but theres no alternatives other than eating a cab of beans every single day for the rest of my life, and I’m not going to do that while the billionaires take jets to epstein island 3 times a day.
Okay good that’s totally reasonable. Been running into people who seem dead set on social and mental suicide because they think giving anyone money means you’ve adopted the entirety of their morals as well. Not great.
Yeah its not worth going to those extremes. Like anyone else I’m selfish. Of course all of us going to live in caves would be far better for the environment but no one is doing that.
Dude I would totally return to subsistence farming and taking a mule drawn cart to town if it meant I got to keep my internet connection and modern plumbing. The only thing keeping me from it now is property value inflation and the speculative housing market.
Haha exactly…I got yelled at the other day for stating how hudderites have 50 year old men marrying 14 year olds and I was like…but they do. They aren’t good people.
A person of simple means I respect.
May I suggest, if you are gonna play video games inside anyway, move to middle america, get a wfh job and a cheap house and you can do that for 2k a month easily. Now youll probably have to live by magas and have no health insurance but yeah.
Oh trust me I’ve been running the calculus. Currently I’m thinking give in and do furry art commissions and being a feral beardman somewhere around Mt. St. Helens
So you’ve met the median voter.

You could join the hudderites or amish
Not nearly interested in beating women or children enough for that.
Look I just want some decent food and I wanna play Factorio at the end of the day it shouldn’t cost 2000/mo to sustain that.
