    Just curious but when are we going to see the new theme/any changes? Just an aprox date, it's ok if it's not specific. It would be nice also to have an alternative dark theme if more ppl would like that. I love dark themes! Maybe add as main theme the one you plan to work on for the most part and get as alternative one of the free dark themes from ipboard marketplace/or other alt site of your choice? And IMHO no need for app creation. Forums don't need phone apps generally. Just a good responsive theme to keep working smoothly each time you update the forum's IPS version.

    All this talk about private jets... turns out Lana flies coach.

    49014802326_0c3330e647_o.jpg

    Nope! Let's not be selective for the one time she decides not to go on a private jet!

     

    We know for a fact she usually uses private jets, such as the New Orleans photos, where a fan got to take a photo with Byron and it was just the band that was flying separately from her, whereas Lana was on a private jet, with pictures provided by none other thannnn Lana and co! Then of course the selfies/videos Lana took of her flying solo in her private jet, and all the times she's been spotted getting off her private jet, like her arrival in Sydney (video footage of that) and other major cities (again, footage of that too) etc.

     

    The private jet claims from everyone did not come out of thin air, there's plenty of photos & videos of her using private jets. :creep:

    I knew NFR was gonna be Lana's magnum opus ever since I heard the first singles and I wasn't shy about saying it out loud. I didn't need the critics to tell me the obvious. I don't know why you always bring them up because all they did was to confirm the obvious.

     

    And I don't think NFR is Lana's only good album. I think both Ultraviolence and Honeymoon are solid albums that have some great parts (especially the first half of Ultraviolence).

    The way they get so triggered over your views :rip:

     

    You don’t even need to quote them, they just go off :rip:

     

     

    Anyway hope WHF will be good

    @ Melissa

     

     

    The clothing on my back is not responsible for even one tenth of what Lana's and every other rich person's private jets are capable of. The private jets are one of the real culprits here that u keep trying to dodge. :rip:

     

    So wearing clothes is your defense to Lana flying around in a private jet routinely, while she preaches the opposite in her interviews? :rip:

     

    Isn't what u say to me, also applying to her? :rip:

     

    You're calling me a hypocrite for wearing clothes but having an issue with rich people & their senseless use of private jets, but defending Lana for flying private jets everywhere despite her preaching in interviews about the environment? :rip:

     

    She shouldn't be preaching while she contributes to one of the worst acts for the environment, right? :rip:

     

    Because that's what you're advising me against right now, simply for wearing clothes though, not flying around a private jet everywhere when there are more viable options. :rip:

     

    And yet u defend her. :rip:

     

    What even is your argument anymore, LMAO :rip:

     

    Equating clothing to private jet flights :rip:

     

    Btw, that same website u provided also stated what I already have in ANOTHER article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/dec/02/worlds-richest-10-produce-half-of-global-carbon-emissions-says-oxfam

     

    Also, do u think corps aren't included in the rich category I mentioned? Hollywood celebrities aren't the only rich people in the world. U just supported my point with ur link... :rip:

     

    The way u make a mockery out of this is gross lmao. Someone can't point out how unnecessary it is for rich people to fly private jets around without another taking an issue with it, no wonder our environment continues to have a STENCH :rip:

    Oh okay, so by the logic, I’m expecting to see you not operate any vehicles, use planes, trains, or any other modern transportation system that emits carbon. Also, you will need to knit your own clothing, kill your own animals, and harvest your own food because corporations are responsible for most carbon emissions. But don’t worry, others will see your astounding lifestyle change, and you’ll inspire millions of others to change their ways too! ;)

    The fact that u equate private jet usage to any of these things when it is proven that the rich are responsible for 50% of emissions, namely due to their flying choices (PRIVATE JETS) :rip:

     

    The fact that u think it is so out of the question that Lana could make a difference over her "lovely voices" garbage, when u know damn well her fans are highly influenced by her  :rip:

     

    Or even just, you know, Lana refraining from using private jets because it's completely pointless to do so. Why does she feel so strongly about climate change, but then fly private jets routinely? Why? :rip:

     

    That can't be answered, because u know it's hypocritical of her. :rip:

     

    Celebrities who bat their eyes during their green thumb speeches don't have the balls to call out private jet usage because they all know they do it, and how terrible it truly is for the environment :rip:

     

    U said one famous person's actions is pointless so why does Lana bother saying (and not even applying what she says to her life) anything at all then? :rip:

    The difference one person can make can be astounding—you are correct. But not when it comes to a numbers game regarding the amount of carbon emissions made on a global basis. One person is not going to make an astounding difference compared to 7 billion.

     

    In regards to Elle, I am not even going to address this due to the presumptions within the statement and the logical fallacy made.

     

    One person can influence others to make changes, which was the point in mentioning Greta Thunberg who has garnered up to 7 million protesters ww

     

    Defending someone who uses private jets regularly (while they complain about climate change in interviews, no less) because "one person won't make a difference!1!1" is the logical fallacy here

     

    Evidently when speaking of global greenhouse gas emissions the AVERAGE single person's contribution would be minuscule

     

    However

     

    The privileged population are proven to be responsible for 50% of emissions and a lot of that is due to their flying methods

     

    Lana is a part of that

     

    Therefore, if she wants actual changes to start happening, why doesn't she start by applying them to her personal life, while also actually saying something of substance rather than "people who are pro-environment have lovely voices" as this interview suggests?

     

    Lana enjoys dipping her toes in, but so rarely follows through with said beliefs. One could take ur argument and actually flip it: since u consider one person's actions so irrelevant, whether it is climate change or veganism, what's the point in Lana's "lovely voices" words? It amounts to nothing, far more so than a single person's actions would. And, if she feels so strongly about it, why does she fly in private jets routinely?

    It’s not a mindset...it’s based on a statistical reality. Unless a significant percentage of the population begins to limit their carbon emissions, Lana’s private jet is just a drop in the bucket.

    The difference 1 person can make is actually astounding if u consider Greta Thunberg but OK, Lana flying around in her unnecessary private jet while whining about climate change in interviews isn't hypocritical at all lmao

     

    Lana has absolutely no reason to fly around in a private jet, period

     

    Isn't ur friend Elle a vegan? Are u going to tell her to stop being a vegan because 1 person doesn't make a difference?

    I don't think you understand how climate change works...

    Lana acting concerned about the environment despite her personal carbon footprint being massive through use of yachts and private jets alone is laughable

     

    The use of private jets is hardly ever necessary outside of medical emergencies and, on a more controversial level, heads of state

     

    By using them u are producing 10 times the amount of carbon per passenger

     

    A 2 hour flight on her private jet will amount to approx 5.2 tonnes of CO2, so 10.4 tonnes for the return flight, we are recommended to multiply that initial figure by 1.9, which makes the total sum even higher, meaning from just one return private flight, Lana is already using up three times more tonnes than the average citizens yearly emissions

     

    Therefore Lana's personal carbon footprint is much higher in comparison, which is not even a question, especially considering she has far less people aboard in comparison to a commercial jet. The idea is that Lana is so privileged she can z00m0z00m her private jet around while paying for offset (which is the equivalent of abusing a woman but then donating to women's shelters to rectify it) but the thing is, average people cannot do that and would instead need to decrease consumption meaning they will have issues with higher prices. So, Lana is out of touch because she will not have to tackle the consequences of her forthcoming policies the same way a normal person would
