guys, your tedious...whatever the gently caress this is has already succeeded in drawing a blue star and somehow the thread remains unclosed just take the L or at least circle back to discord to workshop something more interesting than this

This is also just the sequel to the climate change thread which was at least a thousand pages long iirc vyelkin posted:spr this conversation's getting kinda mean spirited, any chance we could lower the temperature in here tonight? this is about as too little, too late as meaningful action on climate change

NeatHeteroDude posted:I think people should still volunteer to help children. if you really believe that it's them who get the short end of the stick, wouldn't it make sense to invest time and empathy into improving their lives? For a couple of hours a week, you could absolutely make a huge difference for a kid who maybe won't ever get the chance to live in the world we currently do. I'm not blind to climate change, but if our children are truly going to be hurt the most by what we collectively do, then I'm going to make their lives positive and safe and help them cope with the world as best I can before I die. i understand where you’re coming from and what you’re trying to do, but it’s patronizing and a little rude tbh. you’re making broad, negative value judgements about the lives of the posters itt. unless you’re asserting that “the doomers here spend so much time posting that they just can’t fit in any time to do good”, you’re presenting a false choice between posting and doing good. i do both, and I’m sure many other posters itt do as well. my posting time itt amounts to minutes per week. so why are you telling people to stop posting in this thread? because the topic of how we’re killing every ecosystem on the planet is depressing? yeah it is, no poo poo, but I’d rather know than not know. let’s put the shoe on the other foot: if i followed you around to other threads and told you to stop posting in them because you should spend that time volunteering extra, that would be a little rude, no? you can post and also do good in the world?

Rectal Death Adept posted:If you were confident about the amazing impact you are having on the world you wouldn't have set up shop here for days to lecture people on how your mentoring of children matters while crossposting posts to another thread to also rant there about the amazing impact you are having on the world. It's desperate. I'm genuinely making suggestions that match up to the discussion people were having. I'm also not sure where you think I'm saying that i have an amazing impact on the world. You are by far one of the most aggressive posters in this thread, and I don't understand what about making suggestions to Fly Molo makes you think that I think I'm better than you. We're all trying to live on the world together, and it genuinely makes me happy to try and spread information about what people can do to help the most vulnerable people on the earth be healthy and safe.

I'm truly not telling people to stop posting in the thread. I'm saying: here is the problem: children are hosed. Here is something we can do to help children. I felt like it was timely? And I apologize for being rude, but I also don't understand why people respond so poorly to small suggestions like these. If it was just you and me talking, I would really like to have a discussion. But it's you, the two guys who implied I was a pedophile, the guys telling me I haven't accepted climate change/think I'm better than them, etc. e: though I do understand what you're saying in the last part of your post. That would be rude, and sometimes I get so excited about something like this that I forget people don't need to hear my ideas about how they can make a difference.

if you want a climate thread where negativity is prohibited and a positive attitude about community gardens and carbon capture technology is mandatory, there already is one: the d&d climate thread. sure it gets barely a few posts a week, and commieGIR constantly probes people for “being too negative” when they’re arguing with climate change denialist, but if you want a happy hugbox one already exists, my dude. it’s just not conducive to a discussion of real-world conditions when 94% of insect biomass is already dead and gone.

That makes sense. In contrast to that thread, it's good to have a thread like this where people can vent. You're right, and I apologize for coming off rude and lecture-y. I think I see some standout posts that don't really represent everyone's beliefs and assume those people speak for everyone in the thread. I should be more considerate in the future.

The complete fixation you have with the concept of your own actions being meaningful You know this is the global biosphere collapse thread right? You've been posting in two threads simultaneously about how your actions are meaningful and how everyone else arguing with you is wrong If you are bargaining that hard that is fine but this thread isn't about you. Can you not see that?

lol, sounds good everyone. Thank you  I think there's a little bit of agree-to-disagree but ultimately I understand why people would see my posting as aggressive or rude. I'll make sure to keep that in mind for the future!Fly Molo posted:it’s okay it happens to me too. it’s easy to generalize, stereotype, or end up arguing against some nebulous lump of a thread or forum that probably isn’t representative. im trying to do better on that myself, think nothing of it. I'm sorry  . hopefully 30 days off the forums helps him out?

Was gonna finish throwing out the last of my plastic bowls recently, and grab a few more ceramic bowls. Went to look at the options walmart had, and half the "clay" or "ceramic" pots all listed using "BPA-Free" on the bottom of the barcode, despite not listing what the ingredients are otherwise besides it being named "clay bowl" or "ceramic bowl". so I'm guessing it uses plastic, either as a core or as part of the paint or a coating around an otherwise very rough ceramic base. like, you just cannot avoid getting poo poo made out of plastic. there's no loving way to know. and like other people have stated before here, even if you go out of your way to avoid buying or using things made out of plastic, plastic was still used all throughout the production process for various things. it's insidious and everywhere and you cannot know it. lol. it owns so much god i love plastic planet

you have to glaze and fire clay at pretty high temperatures to make ceramics, there could not be plastic inside because it would all burn. You’re relatively safe there
