Go be cynical in the corner. Maybe your life hasn’t panned out all that well but stop injecting your pessimism into everything so the rest of us can have nice things.

Nonsense. For 95% of recorded human history the Chinese and Indians were the richest and most productive civilizations and you can’t call those populations small. It’s like you’re living in your own narrative.

Stop being a Luddite. That’s how technology works. First it’s available to only the super rich because it is expensive, then over time with advances and improvement or production it becomes more widely available. It’s cell therapy, it will inevitable end up becoming cheap.

It’s because republicans want the police to uphold their values (subjugate minorities, maintain their power etc.) which the crooked cops currently do. If the cops as a general monolith actually upheld the law and treated everyone equally, republicans would turn on them in an instant.

Same old both sides argument. It’s getting old when the republicans are authoritarian snakes and are efficiently gutting this country and filling their pockets. The modern democrats are ineffectual and that’s their only crime.

Diversity for these purposes is biologically defined. Different race, different sex are pretty much it. A difference in ideology within the same race or sex doesn’t doesn’t count as diverse as I’m using it.

That’s because the like:dislike ratio on contentious issues no longer tells you if the video is worth your time but rather is a reflection of some manipulated brigading effort, atleast anecdotally. This actually does make the ratio useless.

Only if you consider egalitarianism and diversity as political issues. To most of society they are universal values so it’s not contentious.

I believe it’s a mix of an explosion of recreation and entertainment options that people can’t wait to get back to and it getting increasingly hard to maintain the paradigm of work being a virtue.

Even four days a week is too much to be honest though I don’t know if our current societal paradigm could handle anything less than that. With how productive and involved work is now, working white collar jobs are hard. It isn’t like 30-40 years ago when everyone worked at a relaxed pace at relatively low mentally intensive tasks.

No. I think we should just accept the deaths and losses from drunk driving and thefts as long as mitigation involves universal control over items I own.

But many don’t. It’s usually a wax backing at my grocery store.
Glass isn’t all that uncommon and aluminum is ubiquitous.
Alcohol works too, just make sure it has no methanol that kids and pets might lick.
Re:Study links high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease to plastics

It’s actually easier than you think to mostly cut out plastic from food and drink. If you mostly cook at home— use paper/cloth bags at the grocery store, buy unprocessed foods, get meat, fish, deli, cheese etc paper wrapped, get drinks in aluminum or glass bottles, use only glass to store and drink water with at home. Some plastic use on processed foods is unavoidable but I’m trying to reduce exposure as much as possible. Another thing is to switch out your shampoo, soaps, dish washing liquid etc. for EWG certified products with no pthalates, parabens etc. Also vinegar instead of disinfectants to clean surfaces in the home.
