If one wants to individually help reduce their carbon footprint, the biggest things one could do is to…

• Not have children
• Not eat meat (or animal by-products)
• Not take international flights

Some people want kids, and some people want to travel. Some people want to eat meat, and that’s ok too. But I’m pretty sure those are the top 3 things an individual can do to reduce their personal carbon footprint.

I don’t know why this is a top-level comment, but I’m a bit concerned

You’ve left off the upcoming president of the United States, Elon Musk

The best thing is to come up with something specific. As others are suggesting, offering to make food is probably an easy-to-accept offer.

You’ve got multiple sources now. It’s good to question things, but you might want to start by questioning the things that you’ve previously learned when encountering new information.

As the other commenter said, rhymes would be with visual similarities.

Linguistically, a rhyme is when two words share the same nucleus and coda. In regular terms, that’s the same ending vowel and the consonants that follow it.

In ASL, words aren’t formed exactly the same way, but do have similar components that can be used to make rhymes. Rhyming words could have the same motion, but a different shape, for example. Or the same position, but a different motion.

I don’t actually speak ASL, so I can’t be certain about what looks best as a rhyme, but I understand some of the principles.

I don’t get why that’s not stupid. The result of it certainly is! Haha

I’m not sure why you’re crying, but you’re incorrect.

It is surprising to many people outside of the Deaf Community, but Deaf people can often hear. The Deaf are considered deaf once they have passed a certain decibel (dB) hearing loss. Many people who are profoundly deaf can still hear planes, dogs barking, etc. Hearing a sound does not mean that Deaf people can understand speech. A person with a significant hearing loss generally has difficulty or inability to hear speech even when aided.

As well, people with cochlear implants are (generally?) also Deaf, but with the implant, they can hear.

Reading. Walking. Setting timers for yourself to allow you to engage in your old hobbies in moderation.

Volunteering. Cooking or baking. Creating something.

Art or music. Documenting things. Data hoarding.

More like a stand-in for “I think some sort of punctuation goes here … but I’m not sure which one …”

Some Deaf people can still hear, in which case rhymes would make sense.

Someone who’s never heard before probably wouldn’t get rhymes in English. But then again, someone who speaks English probably wouldn’t get rhymes in ASL.

People who can hear would have an advantage though in that they’d be able to learn ASL and pick up on wordplay (like “rhyming”) that’s used in ASL. Unless a Deaf person becomes Hearing, they may never be able to experience rhymes in spoken English.

… it’d be easier if our spelling wasn’t so darned stupid, lol

And Sony was laughing at Microsoft for entering the console business…while simultaneously laughing at Nintendo for underestimating them.

How the tables would turn a generation later.

And turn again another generation later.

“I feared for my life!”

Lol

Definitely. I wish we’d ban tipping in North America.

And also put the taxes into the sticker/menu prices. No more of this price jumping at the register.

Someone using the service is already an en·abler (i-ˈnā-b(ə-)lər).

Tipping well enables the drivers to pay their bills, at least.

Yeah, I think a lot of AI fear is typical generational doomerism.

Do people not remember the song Video Killed the Radio Star?

Or something closer to home for a lot of people my age…video games are so much worse for kids because you CONTROL the violence, not just watch it like on TV!

Or if you weren’t convinced because it’s all modern technology… hundreds of years ago, some people were convinced that the future generations are doomed because of all of the books and literature that was readily available.

Or if you want to go back thousands of years…well, they didn’t complain about new technology corrupting the kids – but they complained about society affecting young children nonetheless, and worried that children would be unequipped to grow up in the world.

Yeah, it would suck if you’re ever referring to the fuck Tory manager

So how many lemmy users are going to stop using food delivery to avoid being complicit?

I generally avoid food delivery apps because of the extra cost either way…but if you have a problem with the wages, just tip more. Tip cash if you have it – there’s no way for the app to get its hands on that money!

It’s funny how some religions try to turn it around.

“No, God made US look like HIM!”

Blows the minds from centuries ago every time
