If people could stop centering their entire lives around a mediocre piece of entertainment and letting themselves being spoonfed art in the form of capitalist “Franchises”, maybe people like Rowling wouldnt get this much undeserved attention.

They should be investing their energy into finding a way to make better use of these small logs instead of wasting them like this.
Well, German has almost as many vowels as English and we’re doing just fine I think. On the other hand, French orthography is similarly fucked up although it’s a direct descendent of Latin and they don’t even have any weird sounds they can’t write concisely. So I think its just a matter of trying.
The english language badly needs an orthography reform
I read it like russia sabotaged the PMs own arson attempt
Garbage take. Just fill it into a glass jar at home. Nobody cares about the 0.03g of flour lost leaking out during transport.
Is there any science behind this or is it just some guy pulling stuff out of his ass that he feels people can relate to?
“Arbitrary scale at which water freezes” is such an annoyingly dumb representation of the Fahrenheit scale, that even as a European I feel the need to defend it.
Lol they just copy-pasted the name “graptemis geographica” to three different species of turtles
That’s a bit of a false dichotomy. What media we enjoy and what activities we are passionate about is partly a product of capitalist ideology. So to get out of that, it doesn’t help to pursue mindless enjoyment.
Why would this little bash script that does nothing extraordinary need constant updates? Some pieces of software might just be complete as they are.
Even a broken clock has a justified true belief about the time twice a day, as they say.

Idk, I’m not really talking about whether the article is good or not, but about the people it is about and their misconception about what the challenges of climate change will be. Maybe the article itself is also a problem because its not at all critical about that stance, but whatever.
True, but in General there is a tendency to underestimate the catastrophy the world is heading towards, and to make other people underestimate it too, so they buy your luxury goods.
People should start worrying about what they are going to eat before they make plans on where they are going to get the champagne from
It says in the article, the number of flights this would affect might be very small. They originally wanted to ban flights with a train alternative under 4 hours, but that didn’t get through.
Maybe I wasn’t clear, I don’t think calling out Rowling’s shitty views is part of the problem. What I was trying to point at was that fandoms are just a means of marketing and people are too uncritical about how capitalism interferes with art. People are getting steered towards “investing” time and attention into something that isn’t really worth it, and the author, unable to follow up the success because she really isn’t that talented, instead clamps on the attention by putting out edgy political statements.
