Way to take some responsibility for your own impact.
I have no idea what this means
It was always losing tons of money. Nothing changed there.
Didn’t he say a long time ago it’s going to become “X”
I think if, culturally, we have a value shift (it’s already happening imo) then we can properly commodify important aspects nature. e.g., how much value is there in reducing in our CO2 output? How much value is there in preserving these species? Right now, we don’t place enough value on it, and that’s why I think regulations are incredibly important in a capitalist system. We certainly need more of it, but we also need it globally so companies can’t just jump ship to other places where those values aren’t in place.
I can agree with the “so far” qualifier. Things can always be improved, and yes many other systems look great on paper. I am just waiting for the evidence of those other systems functioning in practice. Personally, I would not my country to be the guinea pig in case it backfires. I am content with my western country and its generally current standard of living over past generations and civilizations.
I am pro-capitalist myself because there is literally no evidence for anything else working well on earth. Capitalist systems (albeit with regulations to maintain free markets - ie snuff monopolies and anticompetitive practices) have improved the standard of living for people more than any other system ever has. But I full expect flurries of downvotes because of where I am and the group think circle jerk here.
Even after silicone lubing all my molex they still suck ass. Hate those things so much
Inequality is getting worse so it makes sense. I am pro capitalist myself but it needs checks and balances to make it work (ie monopoly busting, higher taxes, stronger social safety nets). Some of the checks have eroded, but they can be brought back, and I am waiting for evidence that a better system can sustainably exist.
Side rant, but do you ever call in to support with a serious problem and they just by default treat you like a granny who doesnt know how to type in a wifi password? That whole process is so frustrating, and they never have the expertise to handle more sophisticated problems.
Batteries are cheap to replace.
Ridiculous that the only legitimate complaint against this is that it is an “eye sore.” A small sacrifice for a massive gain. Additionally, I think they look really cool.
Blame the era of rampant gaming piracy. No disc is fine, useless overhead that’s just more plastic in a landfill.
You put it back in the ocean. Laughable to think you would alter the ocean’s salt content this way. All of the freshwater produced would eventually end up back in the ocean anyway.
