Actually, that is not always the case. The paper is often impregnated with waxes, inks, or oils specifically to prevent decomposition because you don’t want a container for a product that had an indeterminate shelf life to decompose; and again it introduces a significant hamper into recycling the container. It’s not “far” better unless you’re buying into base level green washing. 🤷‍♂️

The inside lining is generally plastic or metallic foils and causes these types of containers to be significantly harder to recycle than if they were made from a single material instead. The only way around this is larger, reusable containers with no waste. 🤷‍♂️ Not to say you’re the problem, just saying that it not being “made of plastic” doesn’t really matter as it’s still not made of biodegradable materials.

Yeah. Just how it goes unfortunately. Consumer buy-in is vastly underrepresented in the technology world. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc have all leveraged customer and community laziness to push the boundaries without much blowback. If Elon’s tenure over twitter/xitter shows anything, it’s that.

There’s a lot of businesses, organizations, companies, Devlopers, and etc that use it as home base. Want to follow what x, y, and z indie dev is up to working on the sequel to your favorite game? Guess what, they didn’t want to roll a website and social media activitly works against cross posting compatibility so they’re just on Twitter. Want to follow an account that only sends something out when a internet service goes offline, and be notified about it? Better hope they thought out a open alternative because almost exclusively the companies I’ve worked with update these matters on their Twitter. I’ve even had their Twitter inform me of issues before their own status.company.com pages (frankly egregious but alas). The cesspool definitely exists, but as a tool/town hall Twitter had won. It’s a mere shadow of it’s former self in this regard nowadays since king elongate the fucked took over, but the after affects as well as the hole in the market remain.

It’s a tax loophole for the rich to use tbh.

Awwww 💜

👌 not sure why you’re subscribing me to certain things or trying to argue. I like public transport, I’m just being realistic. One worker bee doesn’t control the hive.

I did not compare it to India. I was using reliable power (which far and significantly more Americans care about than reliable public transport) as an analog for an example of our priorities. Since we clearly care about reliable power and cannot get it right, the likelihood in my mind that we’ll fix public transport in our lifetimes is next to zero without serious cultural and governmental change. Also, India is not comparable to America without looking at a brevity of complex factors like population size, density, and wealth. It’d be wise not to genuinely compare the two on any singular issue as you’ll set yourself up for multiple substantive arguments regardless your position. IE: if you’re looking through a 2 billion person sized lens, you’ll be able to find examples to support most viewpoints. Additionally your anecdotal evidence for the US being a bastion of reliability disregards the impoverished areas of the US that do not meet your preconceived notions.

Don’t worry. His entire set is the joke.

We don’t even have reliable power in large parts of the US. Not sure we’ll be getting eletricified train infrastructure anytime in our lifetimes.

Cloudflare is amazing , until it’s not. Chances are you’ll fall within the 95% that have a great time, but if for some reason you draw the ire of sales, engineering, or a system bug you’re gonna have a bad time.

Something something Hollywood accounting.

Haha, I was reading through these and realized we both named our catch a rides after a borderlands theme. Mine is Hyperion, or hype for short.

Hyperion, Hype for short.

Is it even a matter of trusting you at that point? I feel it’d just be a great way to get your rocket painted as a target for the other warring party.

Thank goodness we can count on various humans pack rat archival behavior.

It is a high risk job along the lines of coal mining and such, since it will result in an increase in transmitted disease risk. It’s important to acknowledge that, but I am on the side of it being work. I just think we need strong protections in place and regulations to handle it akin to other dangerous jobs. Like, a sex work branch of OSHA.

Divine right of kings lasted for a long long long time, and caused the deaths of untold millions

I will literally never use signal until they change it so data is archivable in some form and syncable across devices. I won’t recommend people use it. I don’t care how secure it is. Security is important, but usability is where telegram has signal beat by miles. I’m not hiding nation state secrets. I’m horny posting and chatting with other weirdos that like to be animals on the internet.

What a shit take lol. Kinda tired of catering to your addiction to oxygen.
