  • If only there were a way to combine the two, then we could keep an even larger bubble going.

  • I've heard a major cost of glass is the comparative weight causing more cost for fuel in transport. Perhaps as electric vehicles become more practical for hauling goods, we could see a return to more glass use in the near future as the difference in fuel cost could be negligible then.

  • Isn't the microplastic problem increased with biodegradability since that's what they typically degrade into? If replicators can do the recycling effectively, there doesn't seem to be a need for something to be biodegradable.

  • I wonder what wonder material they replace plastics with in the future. Sometimes I think of how much plastic is in everything and how entire things (like takeout) would be impractical or at least a lot more difficult without the cheap durability of plastic.

  • If the argument for the ban is that depiction normalizes it, then there should be a ban on violence in all media, right?

  • A lot of good that halliburton money will do you in hell, eh dick? Rest in piss.

  • Dr. Oz is a heart surgeon, but that doesn't prevent him from selling bullshit.

  • Unpopular opinion but I agree. Maybe I don't hang around enough stinky people, but I've encountered far more instances of punch-in-the-face perfume/cologne than body odor.

  • This is why I always check the ingredients list.

  • Advancing tech was sold as a way to make all our lives better. Here is an instance of tech making our lives better, but instead companies dismiss it because the real purpose of tech for the capital class is control.

  • Biden is israel's bitch.

  • "The good cop and the bad cop aren't 100% the same!"

  • You're so right, support for genocide was just a minor mark against perfection. Keep compromising, soon you'll be agreeing that democrats shouldn't fight for marriage equality because some other issue is on the table and we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of slightly better than rabid nazis.

  • Not just Bill Gates, huh?

  • That's because the democrats are not much of an opposition and when they've been given votes, they don't do much with them, which is one reason why they have trouble getting those votes in the first place. They insist on catering to republican-lites (i.e. moderate fascists) and insist that when in power they should "work with" (i.e. bend over for) republicans.

    Just take a look at the recent run with Harris: https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-view-republican-cabinet-1965824

    Vice President Kamala Harris was asked by the co-hosts of The View on Tuesday whether she would have done anything differently than President Biden, responding "not a thing comes to mind," before coming back to the question and adding that she plans to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if she is elected in November.

    So she was fine with all the support for genocide, but thought we needed more republican influence in government. Even when democrats spell this out clearly, you insist that the problem is we're just not voting hard enough.

  • The non-corrupt ones are a tiny minority and get drowned out by well-funded opposition. If the tide even hints at turning then the billionaires turn to straight-up fascism, as we're seeing now.

  • In 2016 both Hillary and Trump had a lower than 50% approval rating and yet they were the frontrunners: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2018/08/09/an-examination-of-the-2016-electorate-based-on-validated-voters/

    Congress has a less than 50% approval rating and it's made up of elected politicians: https://www.statista.com/statistics/207579/public-approval-rating-of-the-us-congress/

    We don't have a democracy, we have a system where you can only choose which representative for billionaires you dislike the least. They're all corrupt, any that aren't are quickly drowned out by well-funded opposition.
