Oh yeah it's Beautiful, not Clean, gently caress  mycomancy posted:Let's hear it! HP Hovercraft already basically said it but it was created by the makers and sellers of disposable single-use junk specifically with the goal of offsetting responsibility for litter onto consumers and showing it as an example of "look look we're doing something!!!" whenever anyone suggested some kind of regulation.

Feeling a profound sense of shame whenever you do something that's needlessly wasteful is a good start.

used to be you could take glass bottles back to the store and get a small percentage of the money back (they still do this in some states) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_deposit_legislation_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_bottle_recycling_in_the_United_States big corps stopped doing it as soon as it stop being mandated Peanut President has issued a correction as of 19:04 on Apr 17, 2019 |

gey muckle mowser posted:I wish I could take mass transit to work. It's a 15 minute drive to work for me or 90+ minutes taking the bus, 20 of which is walking on a route where there are zero sidewalks and in a city where it's either raining or there is 2+ feet of snow 9 months out of the year. You probably can bike to work. I bike commute (13 mile each way) to Manhattan on an ebike. The energy consumption is minimal. It works out to half a cent of electricity per mile for me, edit: and if I go by actual owner reported number, its about 14 times less energy per mile usage than a Tesla 3. tino has issued a correction as of 19:16 on Apr 17, 2019 |

I don't know where else this fits so I'm just going to post it here: Right now NPR is doing some round-table show that's usually pretty serious, and the topic is... fanfiction, specifically fanfiction about real people. Things I heard: - The first question the host asks was just "Why....... I guess just Why" - One of the guests was a professor whose credentials were that she was the editor (in chief?) of the academic "Journal of Fandom" - One of the guests (possibly the same person) wrote a book called "Fangasm: Supernatural Fangirls" - The host then went into "I guess we should define some terms for our listeners, can you tell me what 'slash' fiction is?" which they defined without mentioning gayness at all which was weird, followed by "And what does it mean to 'ship' people?" - Apparently people used to write pornographic fiction about Marie Antoinette and trade them? I had to turn the radio off because it was too surreal and uncomfortable and I was getting this peculiar feeling of dread welling up inside me.

I don't know about the rest of those butquote:This wasn't a piece of garbage from a market. This was from a "salmon fillet" that someone paid good money for, cut some off before they cooked it, put it in saran wrap & brought it in. sounds like one of your students has lice and one hopped into the sample tube.
