Exactly. But the “blue lives matter” group only formed as a counter to Black Lives Matter so 🤷🏻♂️

Switch 2 hinted for an early 2024 launch
I hope Nintendo actually makes this a huge step up from the Switch we’ve had since 2017. The OLED switch was nice, but it’s what the switch should’ve been from day one.
Oh and dear lord PLEASE let them fix the joycon issues. I would love to play my switch more in handheld mode but because both of my joycons have drift, it’s impossible to play in anything but docked mode with a pro controller.

[image] Cars are an incredibly inefficient way to move people
It really fucking sucks that the auto industry lobbied the US government so goddamn hard in the 30’s - 70’s and got so much of this country built on car centric infrastructure while also systemically dismantling countless forms of public transit nationwide too. Most major cities and metropolitan areas used to have a pretty comprehensive streetcar system, yet where are they now? That’s right, manufacturers like GM bought majority stakes in those companies and then had their infrastructure dismantled all in the name of “progress.”

The ‘AOC Left’ Has Achieved Plenty
Good. I hope they achieve far more in the future, it would be a net benefit for everyone, even those who dislike them and their politics

‘Project 2025’: plan to dismantle US climate policy for next Republican president
Oh of fucking course they want to dismantle what few fucking climate policies we have in this country. God forbid the EPA says you can’t dump your shit water in natural mountain springs so we don’t contaminate our drinking water. How DARE we want to attempt to lessen the impact of climate change on our planet so that future generations just might not have to live in an unlivable world.

Somehow, that makes perfect sense. I’m not even a little surprised by that

No climate crisis agreement at G20 environment meeting
Yeah, because combating climate change doesn’t make money

Graph: Union membership and inequality over the years
Like most things in this country, you can point back to the Reagan administration to find the source of the problem. Obviously the issue started earlier than that, but it was further exacerbated by Reagan and his harsh anti-union attitude.

I don’t understand what you’re getting at. In case my original comment wasn’t clear, I was (I guess too subtly) pointing out the problematic and racist origins of the blue lives matter phrase

Meltwater from Antarctic Glaciers Is Slowing Deep-Ocean Currents - Eos
Hasn’t this been known about for decades at this point that with less and less polar ice the ocean currents will be less and less effective? But as per usual when it comes to climate change, no one that could make an actual difference gave a shit, so now we’re seeing what scientists have warned about for decades. It fucking sucks having to be here, seeing all of this transpire, knowing that you’re helpless to stop it

Yeah they’d fill should’ve upgraded the processor for the OLED switch, and I totally agree about the joycon situation. I was more talking about the screen, Nintendo easily could’ve made the first Gen switch OLED but they didn’t.

It would take millions, if not billions of people to band together and make drastic changes for there to be any measurable difference. The largest offenders are all mega corporations that simply put quarterly profits over ensuring their impact on the planet is minimal. Without those corporations changing their business models permanently, no individuals lifestyle choices will ever matter more than a small fraction of a percentage point.
