Well hold on, lets be honest. Here is what SHOULD. Happen. Our children shouldnt need to stand up for us at all. We should put them in school where they belong while WE take off work once a week to protest or some shit.. But of course we wont do that will we (well you might, i mean humans, adults, everuone :) )
**Thats's** really my stance!
I listed an exampled in my last reply of how they could negatively affect people after school and ont he weekend. They get out, what, 2. go straight to .a disruptive protest after school each day. Depending onw hee they live they may even have access to city hall. Go disrupt there from 2 - 6 every day!
they have options.
I reject your hypothesis that you cant be disruptive after school and on the weekends.
Then why not disrupt society on the weekends. They can all go march on their local government and do something disruptive like storm in on their politicians... the SS couldn't stop little kids right? It would go noticed at least, they wouldn't arrest them!
I dont care what, something disruptive, something good, but ont he weeekends, or after school or whatever.
If they want to protest it then why get out of school why not go on the weekends to show us they are really committed. If they are taking off school its kind of negating any good they do. When I was a kid if I could get an excuse to get a day off school I would.
I'm sorry I just cant respect that message.
@dansup good move :)
@stevenroose Mostly that she takes an anti-education stance which to me is more damaging than an anti-climate stance.
Saying "I want to bring awareness to climate by encouraging everyone to boycott education/school every friday" sounds extremly harmful. It would be like an educator bringing awareness to education by saying "I want to bring awareness to education by encouraging people every friday to dump toxic waste into their local river"
Encouraging something harmful to the community as a form of protest against something harmful to the community is a failed tactic.
@stevenroose I'd join them to. Only thing that would cause me not to join them is if Greta was a spokesperson for them or otherwise endorsed by them. Otherwise I support it.
@peterdrake I prefer high-resolution text based games. Zork on 4K for the win!
@stevenroose No you are probably right, i might be wrong.
It sounds like less of a strike and more of a march, lasts a few hours and its over. Thats better than nothing as it brings awareness. But sadly it sounds like too little too late. We need more than marches.
@stevenroose In general I can get behind that. So the idea is the citizens refuse to go to work, any work, until the government does what we demand? What do we demand? Are the people really prepared to be out of work that long? Because i doubt the governments will cave so we are talking a lot of people out of work for a long time.
Aside from Greta herself I like what im hearing so far.
@Gargron Confluence and jira for obvious reasons...
@Gargron gitlab and github but more from a project-scope than a site scope (the contributors tab for example)... trying to think of some others for you.
@stevenroose A strike as "a refusal to work organized by a body of employees as a form of protest, typically in an attempt to gain a concession or concessions from their employer."... Who is the employer here, who are the employees, and what exactly is their demands?
I support any organization for climate change but it depends on these details of course. I see Greta's picture on the front of the page which instantly has me concerned of the direction and ethics. She took a pretty damaging stance/response to address climate change so I'd be hesitant to support this specific movement, though perhaps im wrong, im willing to hear more.
@NeadReport That works too :)
@NeadReport Yea the federated feed is fast. what i do is if i see something i like i scroll down slightly. If you arent scrolled to the top then the scrolling will halt and the feed appears motionless, even though the posts are still being added to the top out of scroll.
Just be careful when your done reading or interacting to the post you scroll back to the top. If you dont the federated feed just gets larger over time and slowly eats memory. Once you scroll to the top it clears all the older posts from the scroll though so it will quickly free that memory back up.
@NeadReport Sorry I cant be of more help. I can look into solutions perhaps down the road. Int he meantime if you have any questions or comments hit me up anytime.
@NeadReport Sees your right, all the themes do this now. I wonder if this is a recent mastodon change in general.
