    I’m Asian. Don’t take my just-rising living standards away from me.

    edit: how did I forget: every time I hear someone say they can’t do anything why bother, I want to say you sound exactly like the boomer in the cartoon, it’s funny how so many people blame boomers for doing nothing but then simultaneously argue that it’s not worth doing anything


    You have an opportunity unlike the rest of us to have rising living standards in addition to not contributing to the problem

    Solar + Battery + EV’s will save you billions of petro-dollars not going to the likes of Russia/Saudi Arabia/Iran etc

    I can already see that this is not reality:

    we can reduce our footprint, but it’s small compared to corporate bullshit

    Recently announced in Vietnam:

    Hanoi plans to ban fossil-fuel motorcycles from its city center in July 2026, part of a national drive to cut emissions and air pollution. Its commercial capital, Ho Chi Minh City, is weighing a similar step. By 2030, Vietnam aims for a third of cars and more than a fifth of motorbikes to run on electricity.

    Vietnam’s motorbike market, at about 3.5 million units a year

    That’s 3.5 million small footprints that will soon be making a positive impact :)

    This is not a zero sum game, every single little bit helps






  • Talk to the several successful people

    Hello, I earn more than apparently 99% of Lemmy

    they got where they are either because their parents had connections

    Nope

    or they got Lucky

    Nope

    I made my own luck, by studying damn hard, putting in a shitload of effort and working my way up from dropping out of high school to being in an incredible job.

    But thanks for reducing the thousands of hours I put into my job and education to ‘luck’ or ‘has parents’.

    I now interview people, if you show up with skills and effort you can make a lot of money very easily but a lot of people don’t even show up with effort.

    If you aren’t someone’s friend or cousin, it’s not happening 99% of the time.

    You need to step out of the echo chamber or whatever cope cage you’ve built yourself, this is a complete joke and honestly I’m not going to reply to anymore because I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not this is such a stupid opinion.
