Also it stops interest capitalization

I'm not totally sure to be honest. I don't have a good solution. People need to be pissed for protests to work. But let's say you convince someone to sell their SUV and get a smaller car That SUV already exists. Probably will sell it to afford the next thing, right? Someone is still driving the thing. There's a carbon cost to The replacement car. My understanding is it's usually best to drive your vehicle for as long as possible (buying an electric car when your current car is fine is worse than just waiting until your current car breaks down, then eventually replacing it). Targeting your protests or energy toward policy change for future vehicle production might be more effective? Again, I don't know.

The golf course one is interrupting a leisure activity, rather than stopping someone's ability to go to work and provide for their family.

But if people came out to go to work and their car has the air let out of the tires, it's going to feel more personally malicious I think, which seems like it could alienate people. Being stuck in traffic because of a protest, well, at least you're stuck as a group?

It is a fine line, to be sure, I'm just not sure where to draw it.

Setting aside the general disdain these communities have for people who drive large vehicles...

I don't think vandalization of personal property is going to win anyone over to support your cause. Protests need to be disruptive to be effective, yes, but I would wager this either alienates people trying to do better, or further radicalizes people actively working against green energy measures.

Subnautica does have freedom and fun modes letting you ignore food and stuff like that. But I will say skipping the crafting, it loses something. The gradual increase in depth and pressure you can take is really satisfying.

I like turning off food and water needs though. That's just tedious

Everyone craps on Fortnite but I play it with my son and it's a lot of fun in zero build for me. The battle pass I bought once and just use the vbucks to buy the next one when it comes out.

Well the other choice was Martha McSally. At the time, Sinema seemed like a progressive candidate. She's been incredibly disappointing, but I still think she was better than the other choice.

It's tiring and very frustrating that we are repeatedly faced with that kind of choice in this system, but we had an anti-LGBT, pro Trump, pro military spending option, or Sinema. I still think she was the better choice in the general election.

The attitudes on beehaw seem better but it needs more communities. Hoping that as it grows more niche areas will be carved out

Please do! That's not spammy, that's like a daily bite sized lesson!

I'm new to the whole fediverse thing and mostly finding my footing, but the thing I can't find an answer for is what "users / month" means when searching for new communities in jerboa. Is that an indication of traffic? User growth? Server capacity?

Thanks in advance!

Awesomely is my guess lol

[-] Harmageddon@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you! That is much simpler than I expected

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to subscribe to a community from another instance. I know I need a link to the community (not sure what this looks like as the one I thought I'd found didn't work) and a search bar to paste it in, which I found once on jerboa I think but not again. Is there a more detailed guide for subscribing to another instance's community?
