I like to peruse all and just block anything I have no interest in. People get wiereded about blocking but subscribing is functionally the same as blocking everything you did not subscribe to. I would love something like wiki foundations trust cafe as part of the federation where you can assign a 0 to 100 value for things but in the meantime figure if your really into something you subscribe (100) and if you don't care about it all block (0) and everything else is basically then a 50.

See and this is why we need to subsidize poor old coal. It can't compete without it. Won't someone think of the miners! /s

62 percent could be 7 months all the time and 5 never right? So if those 4 months only get you 20% but the others give you ninety something. When I see that 62 I see it as over half the year it will work out good.

Thats the case with every nation including ones own. Of course there have always been issues but its the number and magnitude that makes the difference.

I definately feel this way. Outside of the federation my use of the net now is just paper work, technical work, meida streaming, and video games. Which is a lot of but the fediverse goes tits up and nothing like it comes to pass my only social media involvment will be as necessary (my condo has a facebook page and job searching sites are technically [and creepily] social media but I just put in applications and don't look at the feed I don't want.)

I mean there is place in between highly skeptical and anti. I think its a faster and more convenient search as long as it gives sources and it makes creating and editing media easier. I don't like the energy usage and do like work bringing that down. Its just trying to get it to solve things on its own that seems to be pushed when we can clearly see it not working when used like that. I think the biggest issue is its crammed in as a solution and it works in the most half assed manner and they want to say that fine.

I was just trying to figure out how to express that exact sentiment. Thank you.

Minivans and specifically the no longer made grand caravan (the ruined the design a bit with the pacifica). For two people you can do no prep camping. Throw whatever you think you might want in the back. Get to site and backup to the firepit. Throw all the stuff you brought in the driver and passenger seat and open the back. If its raining you can sit on the rear seat facing backwards and the rear door gives you shelter. At night you can just sleep in the back of the van since everything you brought is now in the front seats. Because you can flip seats up and down and such you can sit as you like and easily get the sleeping room. Done some very low prep camping this way. On another note the minivan has about as good a mileage as you get from a non car.

Im not wild about the pollution travel causes and I like to live were every day is enjoyable. Wish wise I would rather just reduce pollution and increase greenspaces while making it easy to travel by walking/biking/transit.

Thats not people giving up comfort, that is them losing it. Nobody will rebel due to self sacrifice. Many act to rebel from loss of things that don't directly cause discomfort but they have the cognitive ability to see the long term consequences that will come of it.

Its easier because your costs are forward rather than in arears. You can't move before you sell the house because then you will have to pay on it while your trying to figure out expenses in a new place. You need to sell it for more than you owe and you will then need to find temporary housing where you will not have any costs if you need to leave at any particular time which tends to be more expensive. You will need to downsize to a backpacker level as part of this. Not just you but your family. Then you will be applying to try to get somewhere else which may or may not happen. You can start that before but then you might just have to abandon everything. If one has nothing to lose the process is easier. Similarly if you want to have a similar lifestyle in the new country you will have to find an equivalent and likely harder to find job in the new country.
