But thats fine, because horses dont run on sequestered carbon.
I'm not saying I want us to switch to horses. I would rather we switch to bikes, but we really dont conceptualize the full cost of cars.

Well, youre mostly right about cars, but mostly because we decided to ignore certain costs (climate change).
Yeah. Good point.
I guess a thought I had is that instead of school busses, what if we used a public transit option for everyone? But then everyone would need to use it and we're not there.
School busses are def better than everyone driving their own students to school and back. So that was something I missed in my initial post.
Im just over the whole "ev revolution" but taking that out on busses is silly.
The way Harris refuses to court her own voting base never ceases to disturb me
Ftfy.
Its not on voters. Voters will do what they will do. Its on politicians who we vote for. Also I will be voting for Harris and also protesting at every event where I can to demand this apartheid and genocide to end.
Evs are nice, but not a solution. Walkable bikable cities are the way we get out of this climate mess.
Primary them in!
Edit: too late for this election.
How would I find thia drama?
Big same :(
We can do both. I see what you mean in so far as "washing" like pretending that we fixed something when we really didnt, but I dont see it as a big deal, I mean, like I said elsewhere, I'll try to switch.
Its sometimes little things in your vocab that cause you to stop and realize how ingrained certain aspects of our culture is.
But yeah, its not a solution. Theres a lot of things like it that you just do because its easy and you can.
I understand, but we can also gradually transition to friendlier terms so that our very white very male tech bro culture can include some diversith.
I'm going to try to make new git branches with "main" instead of "master", now, and just not worry about it where I can't change it.
Icinga2 uses it
Databses used to and switched to primary secondary
Code releses use master, develop...
Its all over software still but transitioning
This is what Im doing for now, also trying to subscribe to a bunch of stuff.
But Im newbhear and still browse reddit some as I figure all this out.
Now if only my favorite twitter followers would switch to mastadon...
