You’ve been lied to. Recycling plastic was never about saving the planet. It was too get consumers to be okay polluting with plastic. That isn’t changing. Recycling plastic is not the answer. It never was. The oil lobby spent millions to trick you into using plastic.
The article says that new recycling processes just create other pollution.
To solve this, we stop using petroleum based plastic.
It wasn’t a weapon.
They aren’t paid to find rotting fish.
Most of those 100k kids waiting to be adopted are older kids. A lot of people want to start with an infant. Not everyone is equipped to adopt a teenager who has been in foster care for years. Then there are people who want bio kids.

Many dog advocates argue that there is no such thing as a bad breed, only a bad owner. Still, it can be helpful to understand which breeds of dogs are most commonly involved in bite incidents or acts of aggression. Dog attacks by breed statistics are invaluable both for individuals looking for a dog to adopt as well as for those who interact with animals who want to minimize risk.
Pit bulls are involved in more dog attacks than any other breed. In fact, the American Animal Hospital Association reports this breed was responsible for 22.5% of bites across all studies. Mixed breeds were a close second at 21.2% and German Shepherds were the third most dangerous breed, involved in 17.8% of bite incidents.⁶
Pit bulls are both more likely to be involved in bite incidents and more likely to cause serious injury or death when a bite does occur. In fact, from 1979 to 1998, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined pit bulls were involved in the most fatal dog attacks, accounting for 28% deaths due to dog bites during that same time period.⁷
I’ll add, I like pitties. I’ll also advise taking this with a grain of salt as so many mixed breed dogs fall into the pitbull umbrella.
The writers of constitution of the United States were advocates of the “Rule of Law”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_law
For those not in the know, it’s a legal philosophy saying that the laws should apply equality to everyone. The constitution writers disliked that the King was above the law. They wanted no one to be above the law.
Now we get to see if the Supreme Court still believes in the rule of law.
I’m speculating he was doing it for the lolz. I have no source. Some people are just dicks and do dickish things for fun. If he wanted to die, he could do it when he was piloting his own plane.
Automation moves our society forward.
It’s been happening since the industrial revolution.
When electricity was becoming widespread people feared for the lamp lighters. When the automobile was invented people feared for the farriers.
Jobs will be created in new spaces. That is how it has worked in the past. This is at a level that we younger folk haven’t seen. It can be scary to some. I also won’t deny this will happen at a faster pace than most other changes.
The genie is out of the bottle.
Your likely know everything I’ve said up to this point. Here’s where we differ.
Most businesses in developed countries revolve around selling things to the middle class. Those businesses that don’t directly, usually play a role to that end. Without a middle class to sell things to very few businesses will exist. If you don’t believe me, browse the fortune 500 list. The Fords, GEs, Home Depots all depends on a middle class.
Philosophically, if the middle class ceases to exist were fucked. If it gets to a point where ford is failing (again) those people with political influence will be asking for ubi. We don’t need to stress over this. I have no political influence. I can’t call in favors with senators. Over half the country is opposed to ubi. Let it play out a little. See what happens. We’ll get through this.
Audiobooks
Stream tv on my phone. I used to watch Crunchyroll (anime streaming service) on the train.
Very good.
Those are fine ideas. They need a new slogan then.
100%. We as a society create laws. There is no point in making these laws if there is no one to enforce them. Further more, most Americans want police to show up when they dial 911. Defunding the police isn’t going to happen.
What can happen, mandate body camera usage. Have an independent auditor review the footage. Prosecute the crimes discovered on the body cam footage. Terminate the police who do not use the mandated body cameras.
I think that’d happen to anyone when people are literally handing you billions of dollars.
A lot of things in life are perpetual changing.
Some day the pendulum will swing back to pro intellectual. Once people comprehend the damage the just like me leadership has done.
I used to. Once our twice. If the bag got dirty I’d trash them.
My wife pointed out they’re super cheap and now I use them once and toss them.
The whole church can fuck off. But this pope is alright.
The Pope is the leader of the church. Does he not have the power to simply change the church’s stance regarding homosexuality?
It feels like he’s paying lip service to the LGBTQ+ community, but not putting any real energy into changing anything.
To be fair, the automobile centric city has worked for about 70 years.
The cost of cars is being driven higher by demand for more features. The car companies can make a really cheap car, but consumer’s want air conditioning, power everything, fancy infotainment systems, heated seats and quick 0-60mph times. Then additionally the government mandate for safety and emissions increase the cost further.
You can buy a new car in India for under $5,000 USD.
With Soft touch you risk that the caked on mud will scratch your paint as it’s best of you’re car rr that the previous guys mud is still stuck on the soft touch brush. If you have any non stock exterior accessories, they may get ripped off by the car wash as it flails your car clean.
Touch less it’s just water cleaning your car. Sometimes you need a scrub. Think of how some things get clean in a mediocre dishwasher and some things you have to scrub clean before that go into the dishwasher.
I’ll use whatever’s available. Though I have a preference for the soft touch as it cleans better.
Then start a grift to convince true patriots to move there with him.
Switches not bulbs
Yep, having just moved and trying to setup the new/same network in the new house. Most of the new house is already fully led or had many bulbs on one circuit. Thus I need switches.
Other thing, save the instructions. I bought a new hub for the new house. Getting stuff to pair with the new hub was a disaster and I’m still using the old hub. Unpairing instructions would have helped a lot.
I work in IT for a Fortune 500 org.
We use LLMs to improve worker efficiency. There is a ton of taking info from here and there and entering it into our system. AI took the workload from humans doing data entry and freed the humans up to do less tedious things.
