I’m mostly vegan

I love how the intensity moves up starting with the gray canvas

Yeah I definitely understand your perspective. I’m equal parts vegetarian, pescetarian, and vegan. But I’m not planning on skipping the fish just yet. It’s linked to my heritage.

Yes please

They are climate activists so I imagine climate change is one of the two evils. The other one is potentially upsetting the lichens and people’s feelings.

You might not agree with their decision, but I don’t find it irrational.

The title is definitely misleading. The article does mention that it’s not spray paint though, and that it could impact the lichen.

Wait until you hear the problems

I’m from the Netherlands so I can give you my perspective of what it’s like here. Cultures are complex and nuanced so I hope I’m able to explain it, and of course it is only my own view.

People here openly flaunt authority. But it isn’t really something you do, it’s something you are. It’s just natural and even expected of you. People also don’t tend to mince words and will often tell you what they think. It’s not rude, it’s a sign of respect to be forward.

Since I work internationally that can sometimes lead to interesting situations. In their culture it might be final when a boss says what should be done. For me it is completely natural to say it makes no sense and we should continue the meeting or reconvene later.

Politeness is not really much of a concept here. If you are being polite you’ll run into misunderstandings with people. They’ll full on simply not understand what you are talking about if you’re being indirect.

We have formal and casual pronouns. If you use the formal ones, almost everyone will stop you. It will make them uncomfortable. Even if the relation is professional.

Talking to say a dentist or cop feels like talking to family you don’t know so well. I once called the cops and she calmed me in a motherly way and then shared her business ideas for my business and told me she’d come visit with her entire family that weekend.

Bosses are an interesting topic. Everyone will pretend like everyone is equal, but of course the boss still secretly has control, and politics are a thing.

I’m not into Dutch politics but I know the prime minister rides a bicycle to work and I don’t think he has a security detail.

Anyway, that’s the general feeling I get, but of course people come in all shapes and sizes just like anywhere else.

Also I wanted to say that afaik the Indian classes were supercharged by the British. Perhaps because of their own class structure or perhaps to divide and conquer. That might be something interesting to look into.

I was thinking of getting one. But I’m afraid people would ignore it due to all the useless car alarms.

Have you heard of personal alarms? They’re tiny but incredibly loud and typically has a bright flash light.

Yes, or are you saying that art from that time can’t look like AI art?

I’m not deep into that specific topic, I just brought it up as a large environmental action to show that these things do happen and are not as visible as you might imagine.

That being said I think there are different perspectives. As far as I understand it the factory was built without good justification, and it has a negative impact on the environment.

I didn’t imply it, I explicitly started with that.

You might not believe that all attention is good attention, but can you imagine that some people do see it that way? In fact I’ve seen a docu about a photographer who believes disruption is the only way to get people’s attention.

Yes, what else?

I think it’s based on the idea that all attention is good attention, and you pick the lesser of two evils.

What you are suggesting is already the case, but it tends be be less visible. For example did you know about this?

I love iron maiden but I does anybody else feel this picture looks like AI art?

Thanks for the tip I might definitely do that. That being said vitamin k and spinach are just examples, I can’t recall exactly what it was. But I do know I’ve looked it up many times over the years, and every time came to the conclusion that I should ignore whatever the values said, because it made no sense at all. Like who knows perhaps it was kale or sum.

Every single day. And then there’s still other vitamins to cover.

I’m not sure but I do know that my consent is worth more than my privacy.

What country?
