I've officially said my goodbyes. It's absolutely fucked over there. This is just one of many serious problems with Reddit. The CEO is tanking it harder than Musk tanked Twitter. He's musk'd it.

I am constantly dumbfounded how many of the highly capitalist nations pretend to have such a focus on family when it's so clear that they care so little about them. More time working = less time with your family. They also push for bigger families too, so that individual children receive even less attention. It's so weird.

I'm also for community solutions and I don't oppose this. The rich are unfortunately also part of the world, they should be utilized as much as anybody in this crisis. More so, arguably.

Oh my fuck, finally a rich person did something actually. I never thought I'd see the day.

My phone, a cheap Moto, has survived probably around 50 drops and falling into a tub. After years it still holds charge fine and I've made and sorted through (probably) hundreds of thousands of files of content with it. My current computer has also survived a lot and lasted longer than more expensive ones I've had previously. It's a cheap HP. I don't know if this is exactly "solarpunk" but it's technically low-footprint (comparative to industry standards) just because the tech lasts, even through hardship. I've also kept all my old tech and plan to recycle it after I've retrieved the data. Recycling is solarpunk, I think. I also have a vibrator that's lasted years, takes only one triple A battery, still works great. I intend to get rechargeable batteries soon. Battery waste is icky and battery recycling is tricky (because they're made of such hazardous materials). I'm hoping to get a solar roof installed but that's gonna take quite a bit of time especially since my country doesn't exactly have the greatest subsidies for residential solar.

Hahaha, that's fucking awesome. Good on 'em. Break Shell. Break petrochemicals. Disgusting, nasty, lying abominations of industry.

Now that is some seriously adorable art. Thanks for sharing. I'm starting work on making my garden. It's likely going to be a years long project due to the area I'm working with and doing it all myself. I plan to get pictures before and after and post it along with the design sheet and materials. I'm going to try and make it as clean energy as I can, and I'm going to be doing some soil experiments. I've also just arrived to this server and am likely going to be starting up some punk communities that need more representation later in the year.

So, so many people are going to die. The current upper class is making all the mass murderers of the past look like specks, and yet, I don't see any more protests than I ever did. It's... truly surreal.

The ocean will starve to death. People will too. Earth is rapidly becoming a wasteland. Often seems like too few seem to care and that's probably just going to become more true as time goes on. It's so deeply horrible.

Absolutely vile. There is no level of evil that these petrochemical corporations won't stoop to. I truly can't fathom how people directly involved live with themselves.

Ikr, why is it so much to ask? People are still buying shitty products because they feel they need them for quality of life? Make the products and their producers not shitty. It's a simple solution and, in comparison to blaming the consumer, an effective one too.

I'm wondering about making a voidpunk community here on slrpnk.net. I've got a bit on my plate to handle moderating it right now but it's a serious consideration for me later in the year. Is it a good idea? Do any of you here identify as such as well? I consider myself part of both communities.
