That's basically the case, Labor recently (as in this last week) approved new fossil fuel extraction projects to open in fucking the 2060s and 2080s... (We are meant to be at zero emissions by 2050)

They're also giving out an ungodly amount of subsidies to fossil fuel companies, to the tune of $14.5 Billion

The climate activism group I'm with arranged a bunch of snap protests around Melbourne at Labor offices. The one federal member who came out to talk to us basically just tried to distract from all of this with the increase in renewables spending, but she also implied that they had to keep opening new projects like this because of the money...

I was so confused by this title because I kept reading it as pro hate towards Israel lol

Yeah, I like the message and totally agree with it but I don't trust that stat at all lol

Yeah, I like the message but I think that stat is misleading by design. It doesn't make sense to power a home for a year with solar.

Does that mean it's the cost of solar power itself, or is it some weird way to talk about installing solar capacity?

It should just be how many homes can be permanently powered by investing that much in solar capacity, which is probably a much lower number...

I think they're talking about immitation meat, not tofu...

I'm sorry what? Plex has ads???

Very fucking glad I just ignored it and went with jellyfin...

This isn't minimal publicity, minimal publicity is what they got when they directly targeted fossil fuels by blocking the supply lines.

They do it because the stuff you're asking for doesn't work that well, but this does (that said they do still engage in those actions as far as I'm aware). Activism is about making noise, there aren't many tools beyond that and they've worked for all sorts of issues in the past.

The point is that JSO doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Yeah, appreciating the moment is the best wish ever.

That's true, this appears to be a light rail crossing. But then again that's a pretty large station for just light rail so I'm not sure.

Where I live there are generally no gates for light rail but there are for all pedestrian crossings over ordinary train tracks, which honestly just makes me think we probably should be installing more safety measures for light rail.

I assume this is the "small government" party doing this?

If I don't have a bottle of water next to me, I won't drink water. If I do have a bottle of water next to me, I'll get distracted by it constantly and drink so much that I'm going to the bathroom every 5 minutes
