It doesn’t have to be George.

If it was Kramer he’d fumble loading the bags and then they’d burst and he’d walk out of store carrying everything in his arms with milk and eggs dripping off his clothing

If it was Elaine she’d get in a physical altercation with the clerk

If it was Jerry he’d just turn to his girlfriend and tell her it’s time to earn her allowance so she can buy the junior year yearbook

This is like the first 5 minutes of a Seinfeld episode, one where George will obsess over that reaction for the rest of the episode.

I dunno. George actually had it decent at times. He worked a bullshit job for the yankees. He was engaged. He collaborated on a sitcom pilot. Summer of George.

But he often lived with his parents. Was bald. Obsessive over some very dumb poo poo. Faked a disability on more than one occasion.

Not particularly enviable, but he wasn't Newman.

EXISTENCE IS PAIN😬
Wonder what happens when China stops accepting plastic waste from the US. It was really disappointing to discover that a lot of plastic material isn't really recyclable; I had assumed it could be melted down and reused.

While the most obvious solution is "make less plastic crap" we all know that's not going to happen. Are there any remotely carbon neutral things we can do with this junk? Shred it into insulation? An alternative to cotton batting for cushions or something? Any useful things we can make out of this junk?

That has happened already and the answer is "it gets baled up into cubes and left at warehouses until they're full, at which point it's thrown in a landfill"

e: Yeah it happened in 2018 lol

Hell it's prolly better for the environment to turn oil that would have otherwise been burned into plastic and then bury it in a landfill forever :thunk:

e2: lol

quote:

Even before China’s ban, only 9 percent of discarded plastics were being recycled, while 12 percent were burned. The rest were buried in landfills or simply dumped and left to wash into rivers and oceans.

Great!

The U.S. and Europe, where many cities have longstanding recycling collection programs, have been especially hard-hit. Decades of reliance on China had stifled development of domestic markets and infrastructure.
...
European nations that had exported most of their recyclables to China have faced growing piles of low-quality plastic scrap, causing “a congestion of the whole system,” says Chaim Waibel, advisor for the industry association Plastics Recyclers Europe. The displaced European plastic was mostly diverted to Indonesia, Turkey, India, Malaysia, and Vietnam, Waibel says.

Simon Ellin, CEO of The Recycling Association, a UK industry group, said these countries have struggled to cope with the volume displaced by the Chinese ban and were beginning to impose their own import restrictions.

Consumers shouldn't feel bad about putting empty containers in the wrong bin or sipping on plastic straws they should feel bad about how they go to the convenience store and get a plastic bottle of soda instead of bringing a glass bottle to a fountain

that’s normal out here the Not McDonald’s fast foods places don’t even manage that. The Arby’s is just randomly closed some days and is never open past 6:00. the Burger King almost as bad. Just random days doesn’t manage to be open for lunch.
