Aaaaaah thanks for the tip!!

Ça me terrifie de voir ce qui se passe en France putain. Quand je vois les gens qui étaient là “oui c’est juste quelques gars qui font des conneries pas d’amalgame”. Tu parles… Et voir les appels à la télé parce qu’ils “devraient avoir un passe droit” quand même pour “chasser du délinquant.” Bien d’accord, qu’ils déposent les armes et surtout qu’ils ne les reprennent plus.

I think it was almost what I tried to do, but without the skill I guess 😅 coincidentally, I remember that the day after I did it, I saw an article in the media explaining how many people are doing the same mistake and stab themselves. Avocados are deadly weapons xD

Stabbing my hand while trying to remove an avocado pit … (Not so badly). Always using a spoon now 😅

I wanted so badly since last year to play the whole god of war series, but I don’t have much time. So every time I have off from work, it is my mission to progress in the series! I started god of war (PS4) yesterday, and wow, it’s amazing (I loved them all though until now, but the old series is more about fun and the new one much deeper and full of emotions).

The transition is what is scary and complicated with post-growth and that is very much understandable… Because we can envision how it would look like, but for this, systemic change is needed, and we know how well changing everything at the same time is impossible and/or won’t go the way we envisioned it at first. And pensions are not working the same everywhere, so transitions wouldn’t be the same everywhere too.

Couple references though about transforming pension schemes and how a different monetary system would contribute to it too, hope it may help already! (Second one is a PhD dissertation, but the guy already published articles, at least the dissertation is open access!):

Lecturer at a university! I am a political economist working on post-growth/post-development and trying to change the economics discipline. So I guess I feel quite good on Lemmy now, better than reddit 😁

Je crois que les gens sont bien frustrés comme ils se retrouvent avec des vélos qu’ils ne peuvent plus faire réparer en cas de besoin sur les bras. Mais oui ça semblait évident qu’ils ne reverront pas leur argent 😅

Navrée pour les deux jeunes, l’entreprise néerlandaise dont ils parlent, Vanmoof, a fait faillite tout récemment >.> https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/economie/artikel/5396862/reparatie-vanmoof-bestelling-annulering-faillissement-wat-nu

You misconceive what is “degrowth”, it is surely not about making people poorer, outside the rich… Degrowth calls for a radical reassessment of what needs to be produced vs. shrunk, how, by whom, for whom, and under what ownership system. So degrowth has never been about shrinking ‘everything’, ‘everywhere’. And it is not something we could do in the current system, there is nothing to compensate if we ban cars right now or tax carbon for the most vulnerable, hence degrowth is about redistribution.
