By not voting they support all of it.

The problem might be that if they're everywhere there's no control group without them, so it's hard to say if an effect is actually caused by microplastics or not.

If you want nudge your government to the left you certainly won't achieve it by letting the candidate from the right win.

What's the youth supposed to do? They've been mocked and cursed and attacked and arrested for participating in climate action, and the people in charge are continuing on their slow and unsteady curse.

Facebook's Datenhunger und andere mögliche Motivationen mal ganz beiseite, die Nutzerzahlenverhältnisse sind total unausgewogen. Mastodon hat weniger als 2 Millionen aktive Nutzer, Threads ist auf gutem Weg zu 100 Millionen, und das bevor es in der EU startet.
