What’s wrong with that for buildings that have already been built?

Divide and conquer is so terribly effective.

Edit: is it just that they are a German company?

Yes, they are.

Why don’t you read the article?

I don’t think the problem with structures like the church is that it’s always an asshole that makes it to the top. It’s that there’s always a risk that one will make it.

I agree with your criticism about the Catholic Church (I wouldn’t call this the biggest problem though), but from what I’ve read, the current Pope is more of an asset than a liability on this topic.

Who cares what representatives of neoliberal governments and fossil fuel companies have to say about this? The Pope is not the biggest problem at the COP.

Advertising should be banned.

Do you think it’s not going to help them?

“I think the imminent danger is an attempt by the right to say – and Sunak is a case in point – ‘we cannot afford climate policy because it’s too costly, especially for people who don’t have a lot to spend’,” said Timmermans.

“It’s quite astonishing to see people who generally have not shown a lot of consideration for people with low incomes to all of a sudden become the champions of people with low incomes, fighting climate policy,” he added.

“They are doing it for clear economic interests. The threat to progressives, to the left, is that this contradiction between social justice and climate justice is exploited by the right and is divisive for the left.”

Divide and conquer, it works so well unfortunately. And the right shamelessly exploit it.

It’s really strong pepper spray, you spray it between you and the bear, towards the ground approx 10m from you I think. They do come with instructions though, please read them before use.

What’s the difference between black and brown bear poop?

Edit: it makes sense to make oneself heard, the worst thing that can happen is quietly walking around a corner and there’s a bear with two cubs close by.

Bear bells are a bit annoying and clapping or just talking to each other also works. Humans are not considered bait for bears and they will usually try to avoid you.

There are good books about avoiding bear attacks when in the backcountry.

Yeah they should all do something useful with their lives, like making comments on the internet. That’ll save the world!

They pledge to defederate from Meta, I’d go one step further and defederate from any instance that federates with Meta.

They shouldn’t just defederate from Meta, they should defederate from any other instances that federate with Meta. Like a firewall against late stage capitalism

I think there should be an alliance of instances that defederate from any instance that federates with Meta.

A bit pessimistic though.

That depends on your username and whether you provided an email address. People should be aware of this.

Well, technically there are apps that let you access all those services. They’re called browsers.
