Eating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds
Tax meat, subsidize healthy meat alternatives.

Its by design. CEOs are replaceable, the corporation is not. Once all the shit changes are done they'll get rid of Huffman (who will get a fat golden parachute for his hard work) and new CEO will walk back maybe 2 of his changes. Suddenly reddit is loveable again and to say otherwise is asking for too much.

It's so strange to see all the comments here defending CNN of all things.
Imagine a game where you can buy sustainable, ethically sourced resources for $5 and unethically sourced resources for $3. The manual tells you it's nice of you to buy ethically sourced but there's no governmentally enforced consequences. Which ones are you going to buy as a consumer?
Now worse, which ones are you going to buy as a downstream corp CEO? Your shareholders demand maximum profit and you are required to give them maximum profit. Justifying that you're "doing your part" for the environment gets you thrown out as CEO.
At the end of this game, it's cheaper, and necessary, to buy the shit that kills us all.
People unironically saying we're all to blame. No shit, the system is designed so we are all complicit. It takes authoritative intervention to prevent corps from using and selling unethical and unsustainable products. You could also tax it for things like carbon emissions

Rightwing propaganda outlet PragerU’s materials approved for schools in Ron DeSantis’ Florida
They purposefully distort information to brainwash people.
Prageru is not run by idiots - they are evil with intent and they will train the next generation to be good slaves if allowed.

Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.

Rule of being a free speech absolutist
When I first saw this tweet days ago I thought it was a fake tweet. Just realized it was real.
Why is this asshole in charge of getting himself dressed in the morning? Not because he's incompetent (he is), but because he's clearly malevolent.

Not to get overly philosophical or anything, but who you are as a person and what your ideas are come down to your experiences. For me, I spend time fixing/causing programming problems at work, talking with people, doomscrolling lemmy/mastodon, playing video games and watching shows.
For a portion of the population, they are sitting and watching fox news for hours upon hours a day. Even if you are resistant to a view point, your brain is not capable of 100% rejecting a message that is being sledgehammered in to you over and over again. If Fox news or other shit media is your experience, it would be hard to think of the world in a way that doesn't conform to what they tell you. It will be incremental at first, you'll reject 95% of a message that doesn't conform to your previous ideas, but maybe concerned face newscaster has a point about the border. "We can't let everyone in" you might reason. All to make your more malleable to the next crock of shit they serve up.
The more I think about it the grosser it is. Just a mass of blond ladies telling you minorities and people who care about the environment are out to change your way of life. You way of life - which is sitting on a couch watching blond ladies spouting lies to you. I'm sure there's some sick mental illness issues floating around here.
I used to work at a bank that had fox news on all day and it was horrible, but I'm positive some of my viewpoints from then were shaped by that experience, despite me knowing it was a shit entertainment channel.

IDK why you're being downvoted. It might not be feasible for op to do that but doesn't mean its not worth doing or thinking about.
A lot of non-profits have truly dysfunctional leadership. They leech off the hard work of people who do genuinely care about the cause. My friend worked for one of them that was supposed to help underprivileged children. They ended up getting burnt out and leaving, though her former boss who did jackshit was fired shortly after.
