  • They sure are. It sounds like this video is examining these things in isolation instead of looking at the wider social effects that also help counter climate change. For example, if you build houses closer together, you’ll not only reduce heating and cooling costs, you’ll also reduce the monetary and carbon costs of infrastructure, you’ll improve the efficiency calculation of public transit, and you’ll make bikes more viable. One change with knock on effects that help three different sustainability areas. One change that literally costs negative money and also helps the environment. How did this not make the list??

    Also shooting rich people dead only costs a hunting rifle and some bullets, and it prevents hundreds of private jet flights a year.

    For me it would also be a matter of pride. If I dismissed all these things with the thought they’re identical, but I cannot even name them, how can I in good faith claim to know them well enough to make such judgements? I would think myself arrogant and shallow. I’m far too prideful to think myself arrogant, and so I’m too prideful to dismiss something from a place of ignorance. Surely if the kid actually knows the names of the things and I don’t, the kid’s opinion must hold more weight than mine. I would only attack my loved one’s interests from a place of certain understanding. I also can’t understand having so little pride as to think as you describe.

    If experiencing the world through fresh eyes isn’t one of the main points of having a kid, what are we even doing as a species? How can you not be infected by a little one’s curiosity about a changing world and learn along with them? I’m childfree and I still understand that much. How can someone choose to have kids and not want to share their kid’s eagerness to learn?


  • I think it’s a shame that they improved the game. CDPR claims to have satirised the objectification of trans bodies for profit, but the way they’ve done so is by objectifying trans bodies for profit. It’s not actually a satire or critique, it’s a trope played straight, and that’s harmful. One of the winners of their cosplay contest was a cis woman who shoved a glowing neon dildo down her pants, and they posted her cosplay on twitter to congratulate her. I liked the fact that the game responsible for these controversies was bad. I want people to have negative feelings associated with a game that does this, and a negative image of a company that does this.
