Love this.

It's just not a long term thing, for obvious reasons. People do it for a bit and then realise that the lifestyle is transient. So it doesn't go on long enough to cause serious problems. If you're still doing this at age 50 th

TfL have official information on this, it's not a random number. I'm not doing your research for you. The poor and middle class do drive in London. If you think otherwise you're simply mistaken, even in a back of the envelope

Approximately 50% of London households have at least one car. You need to invent a new class to put them (and me) in, I guess. Flatshare people mostly don't, that's basically it. The council estates are full of cars. If you were h

Even buses in London, the fanciest buses, are less tidy and clean than my 20 year old five owners Honda Civic.

Yes. This, mixed with the artist class pretending that poor people don't own cars, because they don't in their flatshare.

It's exactly the same as climate change. It doesn't matter if one of us drives a pollutey car. It matters if millions or billions of us do. The entire concept of being elite is manipulating others into having and doing less. I mea

If you're not an official company with a legal presence, yes. A lot of seriously dense replies to my comment, seemingly wilfully misunderstanding. _Obviously_ the legal department at an actual company is not bullshit.

by best_one_there 3y ago
For a real company, sure!

It's not an opinion. Legal is very useful in the general case, but if you're an anonymous torrent site operator who fully intends to ignore the law anyway it's a waste of time.

Basically all of an actual software company is bullshit jobs unrelated to the core product like legal, marketing, investor relations, HR, maybe even developers for R&D etc. Running a website doesn't require that many people. I&#x27

I'm surprised that this wasn't already done - could you save fuel if you knew you had a lower take off weight? Or maybe weigh the whole plane before take off? I find it amusing that weight is somehow some precious value, though. I

You're right and it works, but people with eating disorders have mental health issues that push them into obsessive behaviours, they need to be trained out of them. An anorexic could hear that advice and decide that well, 1500 under ma

by best_one_there 3y ago
It's tautological if you phrase it that way. Hiking is just fun. Like, actually fun. If you set up the mental barrier that exercise is bad and sucks and feels bad, then sure, now it's bad. If you're super unfit it might suck,

It's not clear that you _can_ make a cheaper solution. Solar and wind have lower EROEI than fossil fuels.

Until GPT7, when it's better, and "this looks like it was an art project" is an insult :-(.

I don't think that being good or bad at something has as much of an impact as whether you're interested in it or motivated by it and therefore choose to do it in the first place. When someone says they're bad at running, they

I agree with your quoted section. I'm happy to discuss it, but almost always, including now, it seems to be a waste of time, because I agree with you! I think you're correct in identifying that a vegan diet has lower emissions and

by best_one_there 3y ago
I can't speak for others, but at least for me, an omnivorous diet is not suboptimal. It may have higher emissions, but that's not the sole metric I use when deciding what to do. I think that would result in clinical depression, be

by best_one_there 3y ago
Gotcha. Maybe there's a way to fix this with language? If someone says that they use the metro or cycle to work, I'm like, cool man, trains are sick, let's chat. If someone says they "support a car-free lifestyle",

Does veganism have a stigma? It certainly doesn't in my circles, it's super common and every restaurant in most major cities has vegan options now. I was vegan for a year and had no problems with it. If you're talking about &

We can't even get the trains to run. When they do run they cost three times as much as driving. I don't think we're going to stop AI from our little island.

I don't think that it's possible to seperate diet from exercise meaningfully enough for most people. The optimal diet for someone who is completely sedentary is going to be completely different to the optimal diet for someone who

The thing is that "safety" isn't just about like, whether you'll actually die or be injured. Spending time around degenerates degrades your life. It changes how you see people around you. It makes you see other people as
