I used to do a lot more… economic activity. Then I got laid off and haven’t been able to find a job that pays even half what I was getting. So fuck them.
Humans are not a part of nature, beavers are. If a human goes to live somewhere other than a city, they destroy that ecosystem and it becomes something else.
Either you’re lying about “living in the woods” (which is the best case scenario) or you’re fucking up one of the only natural ecosystems left.
I hike constantly. I spend more time in nature than you do, which is why I care about it so much, unlike you. I just don’t live there. Because I’m an environmentalist.
Have you learned anything yet? Nature is for visitation only, living there destroys it.
Not at all. The opposite, actually. Lemmy is toxic as hell, worse than reddit ever was. I get piled on for being right all the time. If you don’t confirm to popular opinions here, people will bully you as a group and say some seriously ableist shit. Lemmy is the most anti-autistic online space I’ve ever seen. “Touch grass” is a placeholder for much worse shit.
I think the guy I’m responding to is a troll. He “lives in the woods” and yet is able to respond to my comments within minutes of me posting them?
They got caught in a lie and doubled down, simple as.
You know, nature will ultimately be fine. As a geologist, you have to look at the big picture. Mass extinctions come and go, some species survive and take their share, and so on. I don’t count on humans surviving, but that’s our problem, not nature’s.
This is true, and I find it oddly comforting. In a million years there will be no trace left of our awful species and the climate will have rebounded by then. It’s estimated that our sun has 2 billion years left, so there’s plenty of time for new life to evolve.
But this comforting thought doesn’t extend to these destructive selfish people who are destroying the only nature we’ll ever have access to. The fact that the earth will ultimately be fine doesn’t justify the destruction of nature.

I got laid off, didn’t look for a job, and moved to the woods. I no longer participate in the economy.
So you’ve ruined the woods and now it’s turning into the city you were living in.
There’s no such thing as “living in the woods” because humans transform any biome they move to.
Tell that to beavers.

Everything is part of nature, even the destruction of nature.
…yeah, you’re just cooked. Stay inside, dont touch grass. You’ll ruin it.

Just curious, I’m guessing you see the downvotes - what’s your interpretation of them? Is it causing you to reflect on what you’re saying?
