simple: capitalism

because yes it'd be absolutely trivial to mandate standardized clear glass bottles with no adhesive labels and metal caps, and then weekly re-collection and re-use them with autoclaves. it'd be trivial to require a standardized degradable food containers and no coatings, or giant plastic packaging. it'd be trivial to mandate crop rotation instead of just dumping more fertilizer. it'd be trivial to abolish designed-obsolescence where all new fridges or microwaves die exactly 3 months past warranty and immediately chucked into a landfill for a new $99 microwave off amazon.

but that interferes with capitalism. we're going to consume every last bit of resources we can because we have to

whatever is most profitable is best. mandates just mean that worse things happen, because if it was better (more profitable) businesses would already be doing it. low prices to you my friend

yeah it’s even funnier when you realize no human hand beyond programming the copy machine stealing the work of artists created the image and that it’s a pointless meaningless thing that wastes your time looking at it, that prompt engineering isn’t a skill, and every image has some weird jarring flaw that’ll often simply make it unpleasant to view

I am going to visit my parents at the end of the month and might drag my kid to the ski place I learned to ski at. I was scoping it out because I was shocked to see they are like 70%

the woods are completely barren, so that is all made snow; they must be operating basically entirely on a base of made snow.

When I used to ski there in the mid 90s, there was always lots of clear evidence of snow making, but, also, the woods... had snow in them, too, we used to cut through all the dumb places you weren't supposed to.

I really enjoy skiing but it seems objectively pretty bad. Snow making is pretty loving hostile to the environment, this is tightening-grip-on-fistfull-of-sand poo poo.

I think I am seeing the beginning of the end of the sport. A guy I rode up a lift with last wek who said he'd been skiing Vermont since 1963, said that people of his generation felt fairly privileged to have seen the expansion of the sport in terms of popularity and several major tech overhauls in that timeframe. I thought, but did not say "yep and it's me and my kids turn now, and we're skiing through the end times of east coast* skiing, until this hills are muddy garbage with no white in sight"

:smith:

* west coast resorts can survive longer, if they are able to move their base-camps 1000-2000 vertical feet higher......

Will you stop going crazy in there?

We didn't bother taking any of our handful of ski trips this year because it was so depressing last year. We're extremely casual about the sport and skiing is honestly more of a winter vibes thing for us, and driving through several states of mud to reach an island of snow surrounded by damp trees is just... not right. There's a pretty good chance we'll just give it up altogether if it's like this for a few more years. No sense in having a bunch of expensive equipment taking up space anymore.
