  • Don’t do it. Just don’t. There’s too much spam and ads out there already.

  • Infusing asphalt with plastic could help roads last longer and resist cracking under heat

    Jump

  • The plastic is already here and unfortunately we haven’t figured out a good way to get rid of it. So instead of polluting our oceans and landfills, why not use it for better roads? At least until we figure out a better solution.

  • Go take care of yourself then. That’s far more important. I mean it. And it is possible to recover from this; I speak from experience.

  • In before you get shit for being defeatist:

    I get where you’re coming from. It’s overwhelming. What can you or I do to fix the world?

    Nothing. You or I or any one individual cannot do it all by ourselves.

    But that doesn’t mean we give up. We just start small. And maybe, just maybe, someone watching will feel inspired to do the same. And then, maybe, we can build an army that can and will tackle the bigger problems. Maybe not.

    But we won’t know until we try. And even if it doesn’t work, you can walk away knowing you tried. And honestly that’s more than most people can genuinely say at the end of the day.

    And what do you really have to lose that you haven’t already lost?

  • yea

    Jump

  • It doesn’t hurt, and if enough people can show common courtesy, maybe yes. But doing nothing will absolutely prove useless.

  • yea

    Jump

  • Pick up trash you find on the ground. Hold the door open for the person behind you. Say thank you. Apologize and mean it.

    It’s not that difficult.

    In my opinion (and personal experience), I used to freeze up and not do anything because I felt I couldn’t make a big enough difference — so why bother? Then I had kids, and I realized that everything I do (and don’t do!) is scrutinized and repeated by my children.

    My small actions have now been multiplied by 2. Pretty neat if you ask me.

  • Three decades for me, but yes. Pretty spot on.

  • Sir Sean Connery was a selective actor

    Jump

  • Michael Gambon took over for Richard Harris, who passed in 2002 after Chamber of Secrets. Michael Gambon did pass, but in 2023, which was long after the book movies.

  • Sir Sean Connery was a selective actor

  • Huh? I... I don't know that.

  • That is an amazing visual.

    I’m also imagining Ride of the Valkyrie’s playing in the background, which of course is also making me think of Robert Downy Jr. from Tropic Thunder.

    This might not end well for me.
