Orbituary

If anyone in the greater Seattle area needs one of these printed, I can do it for you. I even have Cascadia colors if you want to go blue, green, and white to represent the PNW. (otherwise, I’ve got black and white.)

Hilarious. I played music with the drummer, Andy. Small world.

I mean, that doesn’t feel farfetched.

By the way, my friend had a hardcore band called “Crucifux” in Tampa Bay, FL area about 15 years ago. Your handle made me double-take.

So? People get so hung up on their right to remain unoffended. That’s not reality - it’s hiding. Our collective thin skin is getting shredded. We all need a dose of “wake the fuck up and smell the bullshit” more often.

It really isn’t about optimism. I know prices would go up no matter what. But it does allow a bit more passive control without being a twat about leaving carts out.

I wasn’t aware of the shopping cart theory. Thanks, now I have a name for my belief. :)

I learned this as a kid working at a grocery store asking the same question. When you leave your cart by your car instead of returning it, it takes labor to collect the carts around the parking lot. That labor costs money to the company. That money gets passed on to you as a customer buying products.

The 30-45 seconds it takes to return your cart may seem inconvenient. Rinse, wash, repeat a thousand times in your life. Multiply that by millions of people nationwide across all grocery stores. That adds up.

Stop being lazy. It’s not hard to return the cart. If we all did it, it would passively reduce labor costs. That could potentially reduce price hikes on food.

Your second example is not honesty; it’s cowardice.

Getting your ideas from Elon I see.

Why do people ask questions like this? Isn’t, “Which worthwhile FOSS projects are underfunded?” a better way to say it?

It’s just so kludgy.

Federation didn’t create lemmy.

We? What can “we” do about it?

The Starlink devices owned by Russian asset Elon Musk? Those?

I can’t tell if this is a paid-for article by OpenNebula or what. It reads that way.

Umbrage doesn’t mean denial.

It’s called Android.

Amazing. Your shower thought is incorrect on both counts. Perhaps you meant to say “conceivable?”

How do you infer me wanting utopia from this?

The point is that because the plastics dissolve, it may just give license to people to continue dumping into the ocean because now it’s out of sight and out of mind. Rinse, lather, repeat a few trillion times and now we have yet another chemical problem causing some unforseen thing.

Look, dude, I get it. All of this is exhausting. But so is dealing with humans who refuse to spend 30 seconds asking themselves what the consequences of a thing are. The headline is eye-catching, but what does it mean for us in 20 years if this were widely adopted. Would it be OK or would it cause new issues? It’s also misleading: “Goodbye Microplastics?” It’s not like everything will suddenly disappear or there will be 100% global adoption of this technology.

I’m sure that when dissolved the molecular components won’t affect the water in any way.

Excuse me, what?
