Sometimes my sprouts and cabbage will taste hot/peppery/horseradish-y.

Rich people are truly fucking insane.

Surely she won't be allowed to stand for Labour at the next election?

I think I'll stick with fresh, even if frozen.

But don't you see how doomerism contributes to the problem?

Evil triumphs when good people do nothing, but there are more good people than evil.

The trouble is, evil is great at rallying evil and demoralising good. That's why we have to fight back.

Positive change is possible if we work together.

Stop. Please stop. Doomerism compounds the problem, it is not a neutral stance.

Has irreparable damage already been done? Yes.

Will it be worse if we don't do anything as soon as possible? Yes. And each moment that we don't do the thing, it gets a little bit worse.

But each moment we do do the thing, it gets a little bit better.

The Earth will relatively be 1.5°, likely 2°C hotter, regardless of what actions are now taken. But 2°C hotter is far, far preferable to 4°C.

Everything we do as individuals and societies matters. I understand it feels daunting, and I'm not really advocating for you to drive less or eat less meat, because ultimately these changes won't be driven by individuals making the choices.

However, please please please support and push, protest, fight for societal changes for us collectively to drive less, eat less meat, and corporate carbon taxation.

Let's compare it with adult pornography. Does the consumption of adult pornography remove the desire to have sex with another adult in the long term? Or does it reinforce the sexually desirable characteristics of adults?

Don't hold your breath :/

I get that it's not necessarily simple, however... Firstly, surely streaming companies could push for a standard formatting to make their lives easier. And second, why does a track that was previously explicit suddenly start playing as the clean version one day? Why is the data for it continually being changed?

Oh my God, thank you for the confirmation.

But I don't understand - it's inconsistent. Some stuff will be censored and others won't be?
