The designed part is probably not even edible - probably glued and held by wires.

Reddit drama has been like when city sanitation worker strike. For 2-4 weeks, no one cares. Then everything start to smell like shit…

If our media was free, they would be ridiculing this action, and calling for more rights of employees.

If courts made sense, they would throw this case before hearing it to not waste time.

If unions were functional, they would have …

Unfortunately, none of that is true and here we are.

People forget. They go for convenience. That is how we ended up in our present state. Facebook led efforts against net neutrality too in some countries. But how many know/remember that? Amongst all other things they did.

Mastodon has already become viable. I switched when there was court decision that Musk had to buy twitter and deleted my account there. At that time Mastodon was ghosttown - posts related to US were very very few and refreshing the page after a minute gave handful of posts. It changed as it achieved critical mass. By that time I had gotten used to mastodon which is not very user friendly and is different from twitter. Kbin/lemmy are much similar to reddit in that regard.

Now it does the main thing twitter did for me - telling me the news - what is happening around and what others think about that. And it is much better than twitter which was mostly clickbait. It lacks in terms of depth on specific topics, but general topics are there - though you have to know how to curate those.

Billionaires and greed part is actually right, and we as people should prepare accordingly. Those with more resources (money) will be able to afford travel, appliances, insurance, and better locations. Those who are struggling will have high mortality rate.

Just like what happened in titanic - if you were a third class passenger you were likely to die compared to first class passenger.

There are advertisements telling people to do their part, but that is misleading propaganda. Because a badly managed industry will actually spend more in a day than a person can produce in their lifetime. Only real reason would be to reduce consumerism to increase wealth, but very few places tell this real message or work for it.

We should try our best to increase this resource of money(to increase our survival) and also use our knowledge and wisdom to secure the resources people are not putting real value on.

Climate change would be unsettling during initial period as that would be the period of change. Suddenly, the weather will become really harsh as climates are moving and reorganizing. After that, a harsher equilibrium will be reached. We should accept that reality and work to help our loved ones weather it through.

Lower part of my garden receives less sunlight. So I will have to raise the bed up. My concern is not grains but vegetables and herbs. I don’t believe I can justify growing grains in the garden. What I have to experiment next season is if raising the whole table is better (more soil) or use stacking to raise the height(vertical farming).
