[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago (10 children) Pretty much. But people dont even attempt to try at ALL. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (9 children) So you've met the median voter. Honestly though don't get too caught up in it. It's the same as paper straws, a lot of this is constructed to make you feel like personal consumption has any leverage on any of this when the real consuming powers have nothing to do with us at all. You think Amazon gives a shit about a Prime subscription when AWS is taking a cut of every circular A.I. transaction that's quickly trying to crash the economy into the ground? Just don't stress youself out about it, and don't judge anyone too harshly. Unless they're a real asshole about it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago (8 children) Yep I get it. Just like I really try not to waste as much as possible and recycle what I possibly can and all but theres just some shit in plastic you have to throw (like wrapping on vegetables or meat packs etc). I hate doing it but theres no alternatives other than eating a cab of beans every single day for the rest of my life, and I'm not going to do that while the billionaires take jets to epstein island 3 times a day. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (7 children) Okay good that's totally reasonable. Been running into people who seem dead set on social and mental suicide because they think giving anyone money means you've adopted the entirety of their morals as well. Not great. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago (6 children) Yeah its not worth going to those extremes. Like anyone else I'm selfish. Of course all of us going to live in caves would be far better for the environment but no one is doing that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (5 children) Dude I would totally return to subsistence farming and taking a mule drawn cart to town if it meant I got to keep my internet connection and modern plumbing. The only thing keeping me from it now is property value inflation and the speculative housing market. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago (4 children) You could join the hudderites or amish permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (3 children) Not nearly interested in beating women or children enough for that.

They aren't good people. A person of simple means I respect. May I suggest, if you are gonna play video games inside anyway, move to middle america, get a wfh job and a cheap house and you can do that for 2k a month easily.
