  • On the plus side, you could feel bad about yourself because you have no idea what’s real and are making baseless assumptions…

    But facts don’t seem to matter, you have an opinion you formed after reading a social media website, so you insist your opinion is right even tho it takes literally 2 minutes these days to find statistics so you would actually find the right answer.

    But hey, this worked too!

    You were so fucking wrong that I spared the two minutes to do what you wouldn’t. But even I know if you click that link, you won’t read it.

    You’ll misunderstand something it says, declare it proves you right, then shit on the checkerboard and declare yourself a winner

    The fuck is wrong with people these days?

    Did no one actually teach you how to use the Internet to find something out?








  • Article makes a good point:

    Outside experts worried that the study’s focus on pollution, rather than overall production, lets the plastics industry off the hook. Making plastics emits large amounts of greenhouse gas that contribute to climate change.

    "These guys have defined plastic pollution in a much narrower way, as really just macroplastics that are emitted into the environment after the consumer, and it risks us losing our focus on the upstream and saying, hey now all we need to do is manage the waste better,” said Neil Tangri, senior director of science and policy at GAIA, a global network of advocacy organizations working on zero waste and environmental justice initiatives. “It’s necessary but it’s not the whole story.”

    We focus on half the problem, the half we burn considerable fossil fuels to move the plastic waste just so it can be burnt somewhere else.

    No one is really doing enough.

    It’s just when you set metrics and only care about meeting those metrics, you often lose sight of the goal.

    I guess you don’t buy fresh produce, meat, or sale items

    I do, like everything else in the grocery store, you can pick it up…

    how are you spending a whole hour in the grocery store?

    I think the issue is you live in a rural area and not a city.

    Checkout was always like 15 minutes, then time walking they and having to navigate a shopping cart thru a crowd of idiots with shopping carts.

    Average time was probably closer to 45 minutes than an hour. But yeah, a busy grocery store takes a while from the time you get out of a car to getting back in. Unless you’re rural and there’s just nobody else there.

    Compared to a five minute wait for them to load your car.
