Guess what? The plane is still going to take off whether I’m on it or not. There are far bigger fish to fry in this argument than people going on holiday. Also this is so far removed from my original point about laelfy’s post. I’m bowing out of this one.

haha zexo cant remember how to poll

I never imagined anyone taking it seriously and actually feeling bad about it. I’ve always thought it was just a silly joke tbh and a way of getting people to vote how you wanted in a poll. I hate making people feel bad.
Eg.
Should I eat an almond ice cream after dinner?

  • Yes, treat yourself, you deserve it.
  • No (Tory option)

On its own it seems fairly harmless but when you add them all up it can feel like a way of constantly trying to undermine people and make others feel bad about doing little things.

And if you hate making people feel bad why did you then include it in your poll?

I agree it is a relatively small thing in terms of saving the planet but I can’t think of a less essential damaging thing we do than flying abroad for a holiday. It seems like the first thing everybody should be able to cut out of their lives, probably easier than cutting out meat, recycling, buying less plastic. Obviously it’s a different circumstance if you have family and loved ones you need to see that don’t live in the same country. Likewise huge expensive golf courses that take up tonnes of land, mess up biodiversity and are only of use to the rich, why do they exist? There’s probably a hundred different sports that are less snobby, expensive and damaging but people like golf so tough etc

like I guess nobody on DiS is going to change their ways on account of what I say so it’s academic but I wonder how you are meant to let people know you think things they do are harmful without upsetting them?

ARGH I love Lizzo and I love singing along but I do wince at calling myself a bitch. Why can’t it be a word that hasn’t been shouted at me by drunk men in the street for not replying to their creepy and unwelcome salutations?

I understand and appreciate the concept of taking words back and I can get on board with some but not that one plz.

I used a diff one this time because I found out that one is just attributed to him, or to Socrates - no real record of it being said. But whoever wrote it, it was somewhere in “the past” and still perfectly sums out my views so it works well anyway!

Feel like most of these polls are a referendum on whether we like @profk or not.
