They’re still claiming they didn’t steal 2000 from Gore

OP says that NC was “universally suggested” (by whom???)

That’s the most baffling part of this. Bro cut off all contact with someone they spent 15 years with and is surprised when it hurts.

Billionaire consumption irrespective of how outsized, isn’t significant in the context of our entire societal consumption. Every private plane flight in a year emits 5MtCO₂, while all flights emit 800MtCO₂. Even Roman Abramovich’s ridiculously wasteful superyacht is about 20ktCO₂/yr. All private cars contribute 3BtCO₂/yr. Billionaire consumption is a drop in the bucket, which is why any article blaming billionaires to try to convince you this isn’t a kitchen table issue and infrastructure issue for the rest of us has to qualify with investments, since the average billionaire basically owns fossil fuel companies.

That’s useful information to be sure, because it does emphasize that billionaires profit from emissions, but the end consumers of the vast majority of those emissions, the reasons why those fossil fuels were burned in the first place, are the rest of us, day by day, partially by choice but mostly by consequence of building our basic infrastructure to rely on fossil fuels and refusing to make the investment to decarbonize it.

Thanks for sharing. Good on you for getting clean and I wish you strength in staying that way.

Not just that but moderation curating that content prevents the site from enshittifying and degenerating into sludge.

People complain about mods but without mods you get essentially a forum where every poster is ChatGPT.
