Tote bags might be giving off more emissions in production but how many of them are personally wading out into the ocean and throttling a dolphin, eh?

Is there a better source for that? I'm asking because that particular Ministry has been marred by continuous scandals under the current government, mostly to do with manipulating numbers to let the agricultural industry gently caress the environment even harder.

And I use my plastic shopping bags as garbage bags, if another type of bag was made mandatory, I’d have to buy an equal number of plastic garbage bags anyway

In case anyone doesn’t understand what this is, and I wish I didn’t, I’m pretty sure this is the guy who didn’t like doing WoW raids with a group and so got 40 accounts so that he could do it by himself. This was his setup.

They recently changed it so that the shopping bags you get from convenience stores and supermarkets are also made from that plastic (and cost about six cents now) so your supermarket bag is now also your garbage bag, which is nice and convenient.

This was his setup. Very close. 36 accounts, on 11 PCs (although there are more pictured?). Here's the quote from the manbeard himself: quote:A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I’m sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. We’ll see how it goes. If they don’t make level 70 before Wrath of the Lich King, then it will be at level 80. That is my main goal. That will probably happen after I’ve got some PvP gear from the battlegrounds. I’m also planning to do some 25 and 10 man raid instances but that is secondary to my PvP goal. Of course I’ll be doing arenas too to build up PvP gear but I’m not expecting to do that great there because I’m way behind in gear right now. I need to get to level 70 first, then level 80 and by then I will probably have all green gear while most others have been doing the battlegrounds and arenas.

I’m just saying, unless they kill a very rich person, I can’t say that antifa is the company for me. What are their quarterlies on dead millionaires? Where’s the antifa brand pitchforks and clubs? It just doesn’t seem like it will be a profitable business. Edit: can we put the wow guy on the guillotine as well?

Galaxy brain: buy more plastic poo poo to encourage oil to be turned into plastic instead of burned, then throw away that plastic poo poo so it winds up in landfills forever instead of as CO2 in the atmosphere, bam carbon sequestration that we already have infrastructure capable of doing. All the currently discovered oil still in the ground (roughly four times more than is needed to throw global warming into "turbo-hyper hosed" mode) is getting used one way or another, it's already been sold. We can either use it to make one-time use plastic garbage or we can burn it.

I excitedly await the Venusian atmosphere of the future. I will make trillions selling my underground habitats that I’ve been building in secret. Sure they’re just holes in the ground, but people will pay a premium for them. One day our underground hell cities will hide in the darkness below and the capitalists will be exiled to the surface, where they will be crushed and incinerated in the infernal atmosphere above. This is the world God intended for us. Because God is a loving rear end in a top hat and nobody should love him. The Skeleton King has issued a correction as of 15:59 on Jul 26, 2018 |

One of them was honestly pretty good at trying to shut down my arguments but the other was getting real salty before they decided I was unsalvagable. I'd feel bad but 45 minutes wasting their time was 45 minutes of someone elses time saved so it's basically community service. Anyway that's my story thanks for listening.

The "plastic as carbon sequestration" bit I got from a few different articles, some that make the case that modern developments in reprocessing technology would let us relatively easily convert plastic back into oil so we could just keep it in a closed loop, and another that made the case that we should just bury it to get it permanently out of the environment. It probably wouldn't actually work all that great but it's an interesting idea imo

The ones you use to make plastics aren't necessarily useful as a fuel. Maybe you're right but I don't think it's as simple as "we're burning all this oil away when we could be saving it to make plastics".

You can convert the end products of oil refining into each other, which is done to some extent already if demand for one thing is greater than demand for the other ones, but switching all that stuff over to making plastics (and then probably also building out much more capacity for it) probably couldn't be done super easily, yeah

Tying up them up at my door means they have less time to prey on vulnerable people who are at a low point in their lives. After seeing a friend with depression disappear down that route I feel it's a decent use of my time. Not literally tying them up, just figuratively.

Re the oil futures yes but the price of the future is greatly dependent on potential future profits ie if it becomes too expensive to drill or the price of oil tanks or solar just gets so cheap no one bothers with much oil (or some combo) then futures holders will just have a bunch of capital losses to declare on their taxes. It's not a certainty that all that oil will be extracted and used. Anyway they are more of a financial instrument than actual purchase of a commodity - there's an old joke about some noob trader who ended up getting 10 tons of corn shipped to his doorstep and not knowing what to do (doesn't actually happen).
