You don't even have to steal them they literally have to pay to get rid of them, if you ask someone who works there they'll probably give you them if you find someone who isn't a proceudrist git.

Plus you can erroneously advertise discount beer while you use them.

Getting strong vibes of all the "we're collecting crisp packets/bottle tops/ring pulls to buy a wheelchair/medical device" chain emails.

The first time I heard one of those was in primary school and the teachers went all in on it and then had to break it to us that it was made up and they didn't know why, and every time since it has always also been made up.

I always tried to challenge them in the most positive way, like "I'm fairly sure this isn't right but I'd be happy to donate a few quid to [fund that actually does that]" but that seems to get a worse reaction than "lol this is a scam and a huge waste of everyone's time".

I think maybe seeing it as a kid was an educational experience, because time #20 as a grown adult working with other grown adults who are definitely this time collecting plastic milk bottle lids to get an electric wheelchair for a child with Verysad Syndrome just says that these people must have missed some kind of childhood inoculation against bullshit.

Did you know not wanting the brook on fire and stinking of ammonia isn't just the preserve of urban metropolitan liberal arts educated genderfluid millennial postmodern neomarxists? We were surprised too!

Also I don't mind Nat's comments about enby folks because it's clear she's a shitposter who got a way bigger audience than she expected and responded the way shitposters do.

Of course, I didn't expect her to be correct, just entertaining.

She's a garbage fire with poorly thought out opinions, and yet the ability to learn. And that would be the exact reason I keep watching.

First of all citation loving needed. Secondly her comments do and have done actual harm to people and so has her embrace of some of the worst figure and viewpoints in the trans community

People who think the homeless don’t have blankets because there aren’t enough blankets to go around are the same people who think the poor don’t have any money because there isn’t enough money to go around. Anyway collect enough crisp bags and you don’t have to feel bad when you see a homeless person because you’ve done your part.

the problem with the blender method is that it's far too humane and it's so final, if they are all trapped on an uninhabitable island you can film it and serialise it into a new reality show for the BBC using the profits to buy more islands that nobody wants and send more landlords to them.

so I will also accept sending journalists terrible very bad no good islands.
