  • Good

    How many of those are regulars at shops selling unwrapped products and are aware of the fact that plastic being light makes it way cheaper to transport than glass or any replacement and that a supermarket without plastic wrapping would have way less different products or massively higher prices?

    It’s like the whole “it’s only 8 companies doing climate change” thing that I feel people like to think it’s easy to change this stuff without it making their lives harder but when someone actually does what they wanted end they realize the ramifications of it they complain.

    I’m all for that as well but I’m also ready for a really hard period until companies figure out ways around it without creating another 20 different chains where you can give back reusable containers


  • And still some see the US constitution as this pinnacle of democracy when it’s vastly outdated by now

    Even the founding fathers anticipated a lot of reforms and for the whole thing to become obsolete quite soon but yet here we are with people worshipping them as this infallible being and weighting their words on a scale as if it’s impossible for them to be wrong


  • Yeah. Hamas is using the citizens of Gaza as human shield from day one. It was impossible to fight this way with 0 casualties. I was only asking how that person imagined an appropriate response if even a single dead person was too much.

    Bibi should be gone today rather than tomorrow - but Israel clearly had a right to respond to what Hamas did and the fact that Hamas was playing dirty all the time makes it impossible to respond in a way that doesn’t cause civil deaths.






  • SEO is wrong - it’s like an arms race where the shittiest party spending the most wins and every one else needs to play by the rules to even exist.

    The world would be better off if noone did it in the first place and search engines could just do the job they intended to do.

    Google totally went to shit in the last years with their first page often full of websites great at SEO but horrible in whatever you were actually looking for.

    Meanwhile the little ultra-specific forum that had a thread years ago about your specific search and no money for SEO is somewhere on page 5 while websites just repeating the search phrase over and over with no answer in sight are at the top.

    That whole industry can cease to exist from one day to the next and nothing of value would be lost - if anything value would be gained for the average person



  • Twitter is showing me that no matter how big and relevant a network is the big companies care more about not advertising next to Nazis than about advertising in a popular space.

    I’m hopeful that it’ll stay that way and the only ones advertising there will be those that are already supporting trump and that it’ll only cost them money by people boycotting their products.

    Even if he wins the presidency he’s for sure not winning the popular vote and also for sure not winning the reasons most interesting for advertisers. Not sure that bet is going to hold up well in the end





  • The freedom of one person ends where it starts limiting the freedom of another person

    Unlimited freedom of speech just means that it’s possible to verbally deny a group of people a place in society either by lying about them or by just ignoring their existence - and both are limiting that person’s freedom - not just their freedom of speech.

    I really don’t understand how Americans don’t seem to understand that one person’s freedom should end when it limits the freedom of another person - and if it doesn’t then it’s just the stronger/more forceful one pushing the weaker/more defensive one into a corner.
