Im having similar issues with lemm.ee as well, tbh.
I've been getting something similar here in the UK, but from the Royal Mail interestingly enough....

Agreed. I think we should be investing our time and effort into trying to make the best of the situation, rather than constantly moaning that we lost. I voted remain, but even I can see that we're better off as a nation trying to heal the divide and move forward than dwelling in the past.
Am I missing something or are all video resolutions limited to 1080p?
Why not contact him anyway? The worst that can happen is that he says no. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, as they say...
I don't think it's unrealistic to appreciate good news. I am more than aware of how bad things are, but to only fixate on the bad is not the way to do things. That's not realistic because it ignores the fact that goods things are happening. Here's two websites for you to enjoy, full of good news stories happening all over the world right now:

You seem to be hoping for one big 'this one thing will immediately save the world' style discovery, but you and I know that's not how these things work. If humanity is to 'solve' climate change it will not be through one single game changing moment, it'll be via a cumulation of many success stories big and small, just like this one.
Bad news is addictive and it's dangerous. Stay informed, obviously, but don't neglect your own mental health for the sake of waiting for some hyperthetical panacea.
Ive said my piece. Hope you have a good day, friend.
Sure but it's also important to not let perfect be the enemy of good. You're right, we do need wide spread and systematic change, but we can also have minor wins like this as we work towards it. The two are not mutually exclusive - the existence of one doesn't prevent the existence of the other. Small wins also maintain momentum, improve morale and foster continuous change. Let's not argue over good news, it achieves nothing. At least take some time to appreciate the little wins, or all you'll ever see is failures 👍.
Sure. But would you, right now, prefer nothing or something? I'd prefer something, what about you?
Better than nothing, though.
Boost for Lemmy allows you to block whole instances using keywords. Works well.
Right? Why the fuck is this getting upvoted? Don't let a toddler wander off alone, certainly not on 2 acres of land where you can easily lose them. Jesus Christ...
That last line is a bit odd, isn't it? A country isn't reliant on being in or out of the EU to do cool stuff.
Either way, this is good news. We need more of this.
The threshold for inheritance tax in the UK is £325,000.
What's the purpose of the multitude of labyrinth like mini rooms around the edges? Hard to get an idea of size, but the don't look practical for much.
Isn't that belt clip in both the wrong location and the wrong way up?

I think that's a rather pessimistic view on things. Greta isn't alone, she's one of the more prominent figures in a global movement demanding change. A movement which is rapidly gaining momentum and effectiveness. She isn't a symbol of 'what might have been', she's a symbol of what's to come. I know that all that's happening around the world is frustrating and scary, but it's important to remain optimistic. Pessimism only benefits the status quo.
