Are you sure you're not competitive or ambitious, even though you are above average?

You can still take pride in the quality of work without being competitive or ambitious

Where I live, the culture has lost that sense of pride and it’s awful. Things are expensive and the quality of service/product I get in return is awful.

My point being, competition and ambition aren’t correlated to the quality of work delivered.

Have you heard about draining the water reserves in the area and the amount of water avocado trees need?

"Draining the water reserves" isn't a requirement of growing, that just might be what's happening in that region. There are many places with an excess of water.

I suppose next the claim will be the land used for those avocados should have been left to the other animals.

I would extend this to its logical conclusion, and claim that conscious life isn't ethical. After all, any land you use, any water you drink, will be at the expense of another creature, stealing the fruits of a plant, or the nuts of a tree, etc. As a conscious entity, you're the only one that can choose, so choosing to not live is the only ethical choice. Is this the conclusion? I suppose something within the realm is technically accurate.

No matter what. Capital wants results and dividends.

Is it even possible to have the RSS feed from the subscriptions page?

you can take out sube data then give it to a rss reader to find all of them. It can be a pain to add to the reader and there would be no thumbnails.

The damage to the atmosphere was made long ago and we just started to see the hard consequences.

Or just the opposite. We don't need another social media platform

And the negative loop starts kicking in. What will be the reason to do a visit to those places that do not have any store or café opened to socialise. Without people, what will be the reason to open a business there? And so on...

Aquiered taste plays a role
