  • I credit China for their efforts on renewables and criticise them for their efforts on coal, and give shit to india for sucking.

    But I hear "we're doing too badly" too often around this place and not enough credit where credit is due

  • We’re using much more electricity, and the new source is mostly solar, but, we haven’t reduced the coal and fossil fuel burning

    "We're" is doing some heavy lifting there

    In the two largest markets, namely China and India, which together accounted for 71% of the global coal consumption

    Meanwhile

    On the contrary, coal phase-out policies contributed to reducing coal consumption in OECD countries, such as the USA (-4%), the EU (-11%), Canada, and the UK

  • Mr Miles said Lang Park would host the opening and closing ceremonies, while QSAC would host the athletics.

    I just realised I assume they are going to move the opening and closing ceremonies to Victoria Park now?

  • don't like it sorry

  • Just depends on how much time and effort you put into learning, if you're willing to study for 3 hours a day you'll probably pick it up in a couple years, if you do 5 minutes on duolingo a day probably not going to progress very far

  • Another amazing reply

  • What is the point of so much unlimited everything when we are limited ourselves? No one can “reap” all the benefits so what’s wrong with taking it easier?

    We do take it easier though, unfortunately the average person is unaware of how much more difficult life was 100 years ago so we can't compare. I wouldn't want to go back to even the 90's, pre-fibre internet, slow computers, no spotify, I love listening to music so I had to wake up at 7am in the morning on Saturday to listen to the music TV show. I had to listen to the friggin radio man! It sucked!

    Is more really better or just different?

    We have different challenges living as kings and queens than we do before but we really are in a much better place than even 30 years ago, pre-smart phone, pre-computer, pre-wikipedia, pre-google

    An example is obesity is now a bigger problem than hunger because we have access to so much cheap great tasting empty calories

    But it's certainly better to be obese than starving, you can stop being obese by simply working on yourself, can't really do much about starvation if you're poor and can only afford 1 meal every 2 days.

    The other issue is the rise of social media and the infected spreading doomerism (see: this thread as an example), doomerism spreads faster than positivity, in the same way people prefer to read about bad things happening than good.

  • why? where do you think they would all migrate to?

  • good luck buddy! this is not a high quality discussion forum, it’s mainly a left wing circlejerk

  • do you ever get tired of making excuses for yourself?

    enjoy yelling at capitalism
