I’m bored (but not in a bad way). I wish I could hang out with people, but I have nobody around right now. I feel happier than ever, just can’t share it with anyone. I guess I’m just going to call someone and satisfy this extroverted phase that way.

I wish you the best, and that you find a safe place where you can relax and collect your strength <3

Thank you! Trying my best to not die of boredom :P

Can’t type much because I need to recover from RSI (again), so I’m just enjoying the end of the summer with my brother. Mostly playing card games and going outside. I’ve started watching a playthrough of Anonymous;Code to improve my Japanese, but without being able to use the keyboard I can’t really look things up. Oh, and the osu!mania world cup ends next week, so that’ll be fun to watch.

In this context I guess non-natural chemicals? Maybe the artificial sweeteners.

Pretty lazy, just some pasta with tomato sauce. But I have some cheese that needs to be eaten and it goes well with it.

You are right in that if the majority would change their consumption, the change would be massive. Seeing that as the best solution overlooks that companies put a lot of effort into marketing, advertisement and interfere in pro-consumer lawmaking. So a large-scale change becomes quite hard, especially for low-income households.

Also, speaking of effectiveness: not having children is one of the best choices an individual can make, followed by going vegan.

There is no sustainable consumption under capitalism. Most have already cut down on their personal emissions, less meat, less flying. Good luck on trying to overcome the system by participating in it.

What can help is direct action and direct democracy, building resilience in your community. Which is hard.
