Which is basically irrelevant, since you need to dope the recycled plastic with fresh plastic for most applications and no one is doing this at a meaningful scale

And even if we did scale it up, this just means the amount of plastic use will continue to increase. We’d have to find uses for the lower strength and quality plastic even

AI isn’t good at changing code, or really even understanding it… It’s good at writing it, ideally 50-250 lines at a time

Well the real problem is that what you’re saying does exist to some extent, and it’s a very easily controlled variable

So when execs and investors look at marvel, they learn the wrong lesson. Endgame threw in an insane number of expensive actors and made an insane amount of money

Instead of looking at the years of setup and buildup of characters in this grand artistic vision, they’re working with spreadsheets to try to min-max the actor to box office numbers

It’s why everything just keeping getting worse. The finance brained people are running the world, and you can always count on them to learn the wrong lesson

And you don’t understand what being effective means.

You’re why we’re fucked.

It’s perception. Like I said, hide the praxis. It must not be perceivable

Hell, discard it even. It’s more important to focus on immediate material issues than loudly dream about a better world

Praxis is not useful in this day and age, it’s a liability. If it’s your driving force, learn to pretend it’s not

Yeah… I’m using the word very intentionally

Praxis is academic. It scares people. We must hide the fact our arguments are driven by ideology and focus on the material conditions and how they can be immediately improved

Yeah, and a simple arm movement could put it back

It’s proportional

No? I just expect acknowledgement. Just a little head nod or basically any sound

I’m not a doorman. I’m holding the door so you feel like you’re in a slightly friendlier world, I didn’t have to do this. I don’t expect others to do it for me, but my day gets a little better when they do.

These little interactions are how a society feels friendly. It’s the fabric of civilization

When you walk through like you’re entitled to have doors held for you, then fuck you. You’re snubbing someone trying to make the world a slightly friendlier place

We need to stop with the praxis. It’s a playbook written in another era, further warped by decades of midwits and sabotage

And it just scares off the masses. No one is going to read your pamphlet unless they already mostly agree with you, in which case why are you talking to them?

Every successful political movement is evangelical

They could quit.

Or maybe they can’t afford to quit, which is kinda why we need acts of protest

Yes? Obviously? Someone else got mildly publicly embarrassed for not being polite to a stranger

As someone who does the little things like hold the door for others, I think to myself “okay, asshole” every time doesn’t acknowledge it. It makes me just a little more hesitant to do it in the future

When someone does get called out for it, it’s incredibly vindicating. Even seeing it second hand is validating

There’s such a thing as a good Karen. Society does need Karens, but we need them to call out people making the world a worse place in little ways like this

Yeah, but social punishment for rudeness is how you get a world where strangers are polite to each other

Causing a tiny inconvenience for yourself is worth it

Because your diet sucks. A few months of eating only unprocessed food and you’d probably eat McDonald’s exactly one more time in your life

And I do specifically mean McDonald’s… It’s uniquely disgusting, even among fast food. It tastes like it’s reconstituted food scraps doped with sugar

They do actually need competence. Marching around and acting like a menace doesn’t actually accomplish much but piss people off

Yep… All those Europeans getting high and mighty about how we need to “fix our county” need to realize they’re right behind us on the pipeline

This is a global problem

Gatekeep at the grocery store. It’s easier to resist eating a full tub of Oreos by deciding not to buy them in the first place

It’s easier to moderate what platforms you use than it is to resist their affect on you. Restrict where and how you are exposed to short form video and what kinds of social media you use

Also, take magnesium glycinate, but not on an empty stomach. Basically everyone with ADHD has a magnesium deficiency that makes the symptoms way worse

Would that have avoided the entire controversy? Who knows.

No, I know. If it didn’t happen here, she would’ve kept trying. She’s an instigator… Her essay wasn’t just fundamentalist Christian, it was full of straight up bigotry. Go read it if you don’t believe me… This was written to be offensive

University of Oklahoma student Samantha Fulnecky is going viral again after her mother’s identity was revealed. Her mother, Kristi Fulnecky, was a politician in Springfield, and she was forced to step down due to multiple lawsuits.

In 2017, two tax liens were filed against Kristi, but she claimed they were errors by the IRS. During the pandemic, she sued the Springfield and the city of Branson for pushing the mask mandate.

Samantha Fulnecky’s mother also sued the Springfield Public Schools over its reopening plan, demanding five days of in-person attendance for students. She has also made headlines for her online behavior, from threatening a police chief to blocking and sending legal letters to private citizens.

She comes from a long line of Karens, of course the first thing she does as an adult is stir up shit and play the victim

It wasn’t actually changed, they just decided to call it that now

That tracks. I mean, these boats would have to be refueled 20x to reach Florida, so they must all be Aquaman

They’re becoming closer and closer to it though. Scary court decisions are being made, it won’t be long before someone tests it as a legal argument
