This has been bothering me a lot lately, but on a broader scope. People are afraid to be original. Critiques are all the same, jokes are copy/pasted, opinions use a handful of buzzwords that don't actually describe anything. It's like drowning in a sea of masks that all wear the same face.
One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

Related: People I know IRL who know what I do for a living often ask what they need to know about online safety for their about-to-be-teenagers, and there's a lot of answers, but the thing I always emphasize most is: under no circumstances should you ever threaten to take access away from them.
And a lot of you post the photos but put an emoji sticker over the kid's face or whatever: that is really, really, really not sufficient to prevent people from doing things with them you do not want to know about. Do not post photos of your kids online, period.
I am one of those people who is *really, really good* at identifying exactly where and when a photo was taken from basic context clues (a skill I developed for human rights research and journalism purposes).
Trust me on this, don’t post photos of your kids on the public internet.

this is 1000 times better than the actual article
It was a dark and stormy night, where desire crept on tiptoes up to the precipice of lust, and fell into a morass of inevitable craving. It slowly sank down, like a cowboy in quicksand, until only the hat remained, like a paper boat in a turgid lagoon.

"I call it the six pillars model of green crime, and the pillars are ease, impunity, greed, rationalisation, conformity, and desperation. [...] Turning perceived environmental monsters into humans makes us realise that we can stop them. It also helps us to address how."
This looks like a really interesting read:
"Consumers are buying and using things that already exist, and our desires for products and lifestyles are mostly manufactured by enormous and relentless marketing campaigns. The question is, why are people creating things that destroy the earth?"
