Can you imagine living for ever? We'd have even more of a population problem, unless you can find a way to stop having kids, and even then I feel like it would make for a stagnant society.

How does anyone? Buy from a green provider or plan.

It actually is used in at least one sci fi novel, although not at all dystopian, Becky Chambers 3rd wayfarer novel: Record of a spaceborn few. I read the first 3 and highly recommend them, the world (universe?) building is wonderful, and th

It's still a common trope, that the rich are lizards, commonly popularised by David Ike for example

Challenging or questioning your own ingrained ideology can be uncomfortable, regardless of what society thinks. We've all got things we believe very deeply but haven't really questioned, and when we are forced to defend them we te

It was unwatchable because it relied on you having read the book to know what was going on. I would usually recommend reading the book and skipping the movie.

But if a company has you down as being in country x, how do they know to apply the laws from country y? This is a practical rather than legal point

Why is a single parent family alone a bad thing? I could see a case where a single caring parent could be much better than 2 negligent or abusive ones.

I think in a school setting, you can't make allowances for the 1 kid who is stopping the rest from learning, so behaviour that might be tolerated by parents or in a 1;1 situation gets shut down. Just hypothesising, no direct experience

And it's also wrong. With no other phrase that I can think of does that apply. Yellow birds, American presidents, main road, farmer's field, tall tree.

It really doesn't: do you think that saying small houses or purple birds implies that all houses are small or all birds are purple?

Some areas that apply also to working class types: most products are made by men and tested on men. For example cars: there is 1 female sized car crash dummy in the whole of Europe, which means cars are safer for men in a crash. Medicines a

In my mind the limit is, if I paid for it, there should not be ads. I can understand using ads to fund a free service, but when I already paid, why am I paying a second time by watching ads? I mean pi hole sorts many of these problems out,

And full time work as against an 8 hour day or whatever. I don't think we should be blaming our partners for our own unhappiness.

That's kind of an edge case though isn't it?

I think it's also been promoted like that as a straw man by vested interests. Like I said in another comment outrage sells wat better than assuming the best. All these traits together are a subset of those denoted by "masculinity&

Really useful link, thank you. It's useful to consider these things when having online discussions.

It's a little awkward but I don't think it's technically incorrect

I do feel like some of the terf tropes come from people building straw men because they don't like the idea to start. "Maybe we should all be nicer to each other, by the way this group has these problems" doesn't really

A possibly trivial example, but I've found that I tended to be ignored in meetings. I'd suggest something, it would be ignored, and 5 minutes later someone else would say it and everyone would say "yeah that's a great id

Ding ding we have a winner, though I hope it wouldn't be relevant what gender I am. This was kind of my point - you can't be penalised for taking the advantages you have in life. But if you are aware of issues facing others you ca

I think UK is a little "special" because of our messed up class system. I think we should include class into diversity definitions. Being white is also a massive privilege in at least several majority black country that I know of.

Where did I say equality of outcomes? This is just about holding people to the same standards. Equality of opportunity would be nice, but the majority of women (worldwide) don't have that either.

Works the other way too. I had to take a paycut to leave my last company because it was full of people who didn't really like the company but couldn't find a job that paid as much, and it showed. It was really toxic.

If the local economic organisation doesn't feed everyone maybe it has issues... It's a question of priority.

It's not a zero sum game. We can live perfectly comfortable moved without a lot of the stuff have, or doing things slightly differently. Some things we as consumers wouldn't even really notice, like better insulation standards.

Not absolutely, but it can be a hell of a lot better than it is. We don't, for example need to have such a lot of disposable packaging, we don't need to farm the way we do etc
