The first woman over 25 he's interested in!

This is all I can think about every time he’s in the news. Yes fuck trump but this guy is weird.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 weeks ago

Is it weird to be attracted to younger women, know that marriage isn’t for you, and then have different relationships within the type that interests you?

Idk, I think he’s just marching to his own drummer rather than being an Epstein.

It is weird he hasn't matured in any way since his 20s, yes. Usually humans continue to develop throughout their lives, interest in relationships with people significantly younger than you either shows you haven't matured since the rough age they are, or you feel people your own age are far too challenging due to their equal footing and prefer manipulating less mature people.

He needs to safeguard the planet for the next generation of his girlfriends

At first, I was like, "Who cares?"

But as I think about it, people and especially Conservatives, love to use the Wolf of Wall Street as a source of memes and personal meaning. They imagine their heroes are Jordan Belfort "sticking it to the elites," and I have to wonder if they won't feel some kind of cognitive dissonance when they want to use this character in the future, now that DiCaprio has come out against Trump and in support of Harris.

Narrator: They experienced no cognitive dissonance whatsoever, and things remained unchanged.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 4 weeks ago

I know you're being facetious, but just to be clear for those in the back (since the internet often misunderstands words), you can experience cognitive dissonance and still continue doing the same things afterwards.

It's just that uncomfortable feeling when you are presented with an idea that conflicts with your beliefs about reality. I fully expect they'll figure out how to get past it with some mental gymnastics, a thought-terminating-cliche, or (gasp) accepting reality and recognizing that the character is fictional.

They used a gay actor I to BDSM for anti covid memes, so I dont that sekc reoefction is their strong suite.

..... You right mate? Smelling toast at all?

If he gets rid of his yacht, I might actually believe that he cares about climate change.

[-] Zementid@feddit.nl 15 points 4 weeks ago

Says the guy who uses private jets, yachts and helicopters.... preach water drink wine.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 weeks ago

He has a chance to reach the all-important under-25 demographic.

[-] MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org 1 points 4 weeks ago

Oooof heheh

[-] vxx@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

Trying to get on the good side before the Diddy case drags him in?

[-] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Why do people care what a non politician says about a politician? Stupid person cult fan club behavior.

[-] webadict@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Endorsements have been a thing throughout a lot of human history because we are very social beings. It may sound silly, but some people literally care more what an entertainer says instead of any or all politicians or political experts, and will vote because of it.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Isn't that Trump's entire MO?

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I’m just shocked that this is still up for debate. This year the weather has been erratic to say the least.

Worse even if Democrats win and there are no spoilers in the party (Mnuchin or Sinema), you are still only getting cap and trade which at one point was the Republican plan for climate change before they decided to go to full denialism.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
