  • The problem right now is not that we can't 3d print a tree. Making trees is generally as easy as planting a seed and waiting a while. The problem is that we live under capitalism and it's not profitable to do.

  • I'm assuming it's significantly more expensive per Watt to install permanent supports designed to withstand car impacts, and a superstructure that is guaranteed to not collapse for a few decades, than it is to just ancor a few empty barrels in a lake and plop a solar panel on there. And yall need to be getting rid of parking ASAP, not tying more money and energy generation to it.

  • Nowadays the umbrella is pretty broad, people like Mamdani are often indeed called or identify as socdems, and yet they're also reformist socialists.

    I just had a brainfart and swapped the words "democratic" and "socialist" around, my bad

  • Ok, that's fair. I think in the context of this meme it was used in a more broad sense tho. It compares reformist "socdems" with "tankies", who are therefore "any revolutionaries" by contrast.

  • Don't worry, switching instances is quite easy here, and you can keep all your communities and subscriptions. If things go south I can recommend lemmy.zip and lemy.lol as general-purpose instances, hexbear.net and lemmy.ml as communist/socialist instances, and lemmy.dbzer0.com and anarchist.nexus as anarchist instances.

  • I do not agree that parental figures don’t matter. There is a bond between parents and children that is simply special - however, parents don’t have to be bio parents. Insert screenshot from the post, where one of kid’s parental figures got filled in by an “outsider”.

    Ok, I think I phrased it the wrong way. I don't think it's necessary for a child to have exactly two parents of opposite genders. I think a much healthier way to be brought up is to be parented by a diverse group of people (maybe 5-10), each with their own identities, interests, and skills to learn from.

    Jump

  • This is just how the societal structure works nowadays due to atomization, the death of extended family and the local community.

    Before all that happened, people actually interacted with their close neighbors (who were also often family members) on the daily, forged relationships and trust with them. It wasn't a question of "bringing trustworthy adults into a child's life", it was actually "bringing a child into an already existing close-knit community". Common everyday tasks (one of them is looking after children) were often shared between community members so that noone got overwhelmed.

    Of course there are many benefits to modern societal and tech advances too, it's a fucking miracle that a single mother can raise a child at all, with little or no family support. 200 years ago the child would be dead or sent off to an orphanage.

    I say we should combine the powers of both: bring back the local community to raise children together, and keep the technical progress and societal guardrails we've made to make it a lot easier.

  • I feel like what a child needs is some sort of close-knit community to interact with daily, not just parents. It could be the extended family, it could be the neighbors, etc. This is how children grew up for most of the history of our species, hell, I'd guess most mothers throughout history didn't know who the father is at all. The idea that a child is raised exclusively by the parents is an extremely novel invention forced upon us by western individualist culture.

    Genders or "parental figures" don't actually matter here, what matters is interacting with different people, forming personal relationships with them and learning from their positive traits and behaviors.
