If the UK had a preferential voting system the Tories would have won a lot more seats

I've been wanting to read his work for ages! Thanks for the recommendation, looks like a good one to start with.

The recent BtB episode about him hit me so hard. I feel like I relate a lot to Swartz because I really value knowledge. The episode ultimately made me feel hopeful but with a deep underpinning of sadness. The point Margret and Robert made about his death being a turning point really stood out to me.

My recommendation is learn to love lentils. Replace the beef in your spag bol with them. So good and so much cheaper. Also beans, there are so many good things you can do with them.

Nothing justifies bombing children. Noone's 'right to defend themselves' should include this.

Really glad Germany has criminalised nazi symbols. I'm curious to see how this plays out in this situation. My country is in the early stages of banning nazi symbols and people keep coming up with the same shitty takes like "but I like it when nazis let me know who they are" and "why do we need to ban shit, people just shouldn't be nazis".

I actually think community based sustainability is going to be a huge in demand area as climate change worsens. Depending on how much you want to sell your soul to the capitalist machine, there will be plenty of work opportunities in helping companies implement sustainability initiatives.

Also, social work and community development are widely applicable across the human services industry. You could get a job in government or not for profit organisations. In order to qualify as a social worker you'd probably have to do a masters, but there's plenty of community based roles that you can get into with a bachelors.

Our first nation's people are one of the oldest cultures in the world which is really amazing if you consider just how harsh the country is to live in.

In Australia it's not just knowing how to swim but where to swim and when. A lot of tourists drown in the ocean here because they don't know how to read the waves / don't have an understanding of the local area.

It's not really that simple and a lot of these things are out of people's control. People who eat more meat than they need to just because they can are the ones who should be changing their behaviour. Not the people who have a constrained diet due to circumstances like poverty or medical conditions. But even then we should be targeting large scale polluters rather than just focusing on individual behaviour change.

Everyone should try and reduce the amount of meat they eat as much as they can. Same goes for flying and driving.
