Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

I concur.
One only has to look at how many people make cars their entire personality to see why building society around car-centric design is wrong.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be poor and how close middle class is to being below the poverty

Please don’t bring parasites into this

1·4 months agoFair enough, but in a more just system, the impoverished class would barely exist, if at all.

Technology@lemmy.world•Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warnEnglish
11·4 months agoYeah, mirrors seem like a huge problem. Why not go with photovoltaics - a decades-old, proven technology, and just beam energy to a ground-based storage facility to be used later?
I know some amount will be lost in conversion and transmission, but you could still have underground facilities in cities providing extended daylight for good reasons, like to help people with seasonal affective disorder, or to grow crops out of season.
Thank you. I bought a light therapy lamp years ago. I will have to find it.

I feel for you. Although I never got an actual diagnosis, I am fairly sure I have traditional SAD. It doesn’t make a lot of sense, because I handle cooler temps better than warm ones, but I guess it’s a sunlight exposure thing.

World News@lemmy.world•Ireland plans to make a $1,500 a month basic income for artists permanentEnglish
11·5 months agoGood news. I hope Canada gets there, but I doubt we will. We are too focused on oil expansion and infrastructure to pay any mind to the ‘dirty poors’ right now.
If we had kept Petro Canada as a crown corporation past the 1980s, we could be funding UBI NOW, but of course, conservatives fucked that up.

They wouldn’t be ‘freedom loving’ or ‘American’ if they actually gave a shit about other people.
