  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

We should not try to save every creature, plant, business, whatever that is threatening to become extinct. Maybe it's just their time.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Businesses are obviously very different - but this is a very short-sighted view of plants and animals. It's only their time because we've massively changed ecosystems in very short timespans, and their extinctions will often further affect their respective ecosystems and other species negatively, leading to further extinctions.

The only times when this many species went extinct was when literally most species went extinct. It's naive to think this won't include billions of human deaths.

Pick your cutoff age but it should be illegal to groom children into an organized religion. Frankly, since human brains are still developing until age 24-25 that would be my choice but 21 would be acceptable. "Let go and let god" is literally advocating for a trained lack of critical thinking skills.

Grooming is so gross, but it's not like Christians are out there targeting children, right? That would be insane wouldn't it, everyone?

Sugar and the industrial farming system are literally poisoning the food supply and driving a epidemic of chronic disease globally

[–] nobleshift@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

We have an ongoing decades long war against 'big sugar' here in Florida. They are decimating the land.

It really is insidious, the money is everywhere! I wish you the best in that fight.
