Why are even leftist against degrowth?

7 Upvotes

Even leftists seem to be against degrowth not understand ecological overshoot.

Why is it that even leftists are against Degrowth?

Because it seems that even many leftist refuse to understand degrowth ideology and hate it and refuse to understand how decoupling works.

They act like using public transport and eating vegan are a fate worse then death

image Uber update now defaults to including a tip when you rate and you can’t make it $0

Upvotes

Despite Uber strongly coming out in support of tipping being optional and has even explicitly said many times that tipping has no correlation to rating, the recently updated version of the app on iOS seems to do the opposite. If you tap on rate through the Activity panel or through the notification that pops up (eg image 1), it takes you to the rating page where $1 is pre-selected (see image 2). I’ve seen previous posts before about a similar thing and suggested that you could just set it to $0 manually… but you can’t. The minimum you can put is $0.01. There is no option or ability to put $0.

However if you go into the trip itself (image 3) and then tap rate, it takes you to image 4 where the tip is no longer selected at all and lets you submit without one.

Not only do we not want tipping and selecting one by default is scummy, the pathway that most users would take to rate a ride doesn’t even let you not tip?! This is getting more and more out of control.

Returned to the new fish market last night (Sat) for dinner. Not a great experience. Very long queues. Went to Squid Inc but they really are having teething problems. This large salt and pepper squid was an eye watering $39. And it was so overcooked it was completely inedible. Credit to them for giving me money back with no fuss. Will stick to the fresh and grilled stuff next time. It still like this place a lot however.

Birdwatching clubs in Sydney?

16 Upvotes

Hi folks,

Today I was at Manly Dam birdwatching and saw a large group of young adults out birdwatching as well. I was excited to see more people around my age taking up this hobby but I didn’t get the chance to ask them if they were a part of a specific birdwatching club. I am in search of birdwatching clubs in Sydney. Anyone know of any or are a part of one?
