    The point I’m trying to make is that despite the good stuff they may do, it’s overshadowed by the dumb shit that’s turning people against the cause.

    Those actions didn’t achieve much, and I’d say anything they did achieve has been undone by their other antics.

    Do you know anyone who has been convinced by JSO to take more action against climate change? It’s only people who are already onboard cheering them on.

    I know a few people who have become more anti green because of JSO, and general consensus among anyone I know is that JSO is doing more harm than good.

    My better idea is to not do dumb shit that actively turns people (voters) against the cause. Egg some politicians, paint some private jets, people love that shit.

    Besides just saying “AwArEnEsS”, what does JSO actually achieve?

    Every single person on the planet is aware of climate change, what we actually need to do is convince people to take action. JSO actively convinces people to vote against action on climate change.

    I do question the awareness they’re raising tho, it’s not getting people on their side. It’s not. Full stop.

    It’s pushing people away and distracting from the actual issue. People liked the private jet attack, people fucking loathed the stone henge stunt.

    Just stop oil is a news topic for Talk TV and GB news to make people hate the idea of protecting the environment, and it’s working.




  • I went into Furiosa with low expectations. I thought it was just gonna be a cash grab, but it was exactly what I wanted.

    Just over the top action and story, with none of the “meta” comedy or taking itself too seriously that other movies suffer from.

    It was ridiculous and corny, and was unapologetic about that. It felt like it was doing its own thing, kinda like some movies from the 90s if that makes sense?

    That’s kinda part of the downfall tho, the trailer makes it look as ridiculous and corny as it is, but without all the bits around it that makes it all land.







  • I looked into this before, but I found the options were too stripped down.

    Ultimately I need:

    • Maps
    • Music streaming
    • Web browser
    • Email
    • Wallet functionality

    Then there are miscellaneous apps that I need as well, some that don’t have browser functionality (local bike rental app) or something like a workout tracker.

    Thing is, if you start adding functionality for the above then it’s just a regular smart phone and there’s nothing stopping you using the apps you’re trying to avoid :/
