I need to be active in validating myself and saying something like, “good job dude!”
Huh that is interesting. My sister gave me the tip of literally patting myself on the shoulder after a hard day and saying “good job.”
I wonder if it’s something like this, because as silly as it feels, it actually does trigger a little something - I guess like this feeling of self-solidarity, is how I’d put it.
It’s actually not Android specific, but even then they all make about the same sense to me (which is not a tonne)
You can be shit without being shitty.
This is just the shittiest example of punching down on people who are really suffering.
Oh I can see how the word “option” could read like that. Glad you brought it up, to give me the chance to clarify
I am agreeing with op. Corpos and govs are the ones who have to do something. We individually and collectively also have to do something. Nothing changes for the better unless we have buy-in from individuals. The binary you’re presenting is one I didn’t intend with my comment. I was saying we should watch out for green washing, when functioning as a consumer.
That is, If you can avoid doing business with companies which are harming the environment then you should. The same goes for doing business with companies which are half-assed or insincere in their efforts (though these are naturally preferable).
So if you can’t avoid a purchase, and there isn’t a good choice, then obviously you should pick the most ecologically sound option available to you.
My main point is no one should feel virtuous for picking, like, “eco green Coca Cola” just because 5% of the proceeds go to saving the rainforest. They’re a reprehensible company, so far better to just not fuck with Coke in the first place.
Strikes, boycotts, or anything that hurts their donors’ wallets. There actually is some political will for it too, just not enough for individual politicians to push through. They need to be able to point to external unrest.
Yeah I’d even go so far as to say what if it’s a mental health day. Those are totally valid for preventing mini burnouts.
While he only worked briefly in the corpo world, he had people constantly emailing him with work anecdotes, so that’s how he kept his finger on the pulse so to speak.
Trump definitely broke his brain in some way though. He views him as some sort of drunken master of rhetorical manipulation.
I remember reading this. Ashok the intern was so adorable
Yeah I remember it felt like fun, until I found out it was bad for you. That along with any kind of asphyxiation - who knew! You’d think just being able to look up “is huffing chrome bad for you” on the internet would inoculate kids against this kind of stupidity.
By way of explanation, we were all quite poor and ignorant where I grew up.
File under “green washing.”
If a company offers a more expensive “choice” of a greener option, rather than just being ecologically responsible by default, then you are being sold a product. That is, you get to express your superior “green” ethics by identifying with your purchase.
The company doesn’t actually care about the environment. They’re just doing the minimum to capture extra $$$
I would amend the quote to say “voting alone isn’t going to do shit.” IMO without direct action it’s just a slower slide into fascism.
Agreeing with both of you basically. I just don’t want anyone thinking that voting on its own is sufficient to address the problems we’re seeing
Happy birthday. Just to see what replaces it in NA
Damn it is pretty pushy now that you mention it
You don’t have to listen to it all day. I like checking in in before and after work.
But if all the stations in your area have ads, then ofc nah, don’t listen to that garbage.
We were teenagers and I went to her house in the boonies to shoot crossbows and play NBA Jam. Sounds ideal, right? So after shooting trees for a while she asks if I want to shoot her hamster.
Maybe she was trying to be edgy or funny but I was so disturbed I made an excuse and started walking home (which was hours away). I finally managed to hitch a ride with this creepy couple into town (but that’s a whole other story - definitely did not give those two my home address).
I’m so sorry
Okay I have nothing to complain about. This is awful
People don’t like his Riddler?? That was like one of the best parts of that wacky movie
