Since there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, the most ethical thing you can do is consume as little as possible. At least that's what I try to do.

But stagnating wages combined inflation make that a necessity for many instead of a choice, I guess.

That's not very disco.

I think they are trying to make sure the train ride is long enough to make sense for a sleeper. If it's too short, your might end up with awkwardly short sleep times.

Miraculously it kinda worked for the fall.

This is just a recycled George Carlin bit.

It's been a few years, but last time I was there, (some) bars in Berlin still has large smoking sections.

Yeah, picking up useful skills is a good one, no matter what happens. I've started gardening a bit, but most of my time is still taken up working what in the end is still a non essential bullshit job (when though I enjoy it most of the time). That need, that trap is what keeps all of the rest going. But I agree, we do what we can to minimize our impact and maybe Even have some positive influence.

This is a bit more political/ideological than my own thinking in this general direction, but on the whole I agree. I often think "why do you all want to own so much junk?" I've been getting more and more anti consumerist over the years, and it's become kind of a point of pride not to but things, and start at the top, at "reduce*.

I only use it in a desktop browser with ublock. It's tolerable, but they keep taking things away...
