    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



  • The problem is that “both” isn’t a valid option unless a country has unlimited finances.

    Otherwise you have to decide on what’s the most feasible option and then renewables win big time

    I sometimes feel as if the current push for atomic is from the fossil-lobby as they are aware that it either works and they get 10-20 more years to sell oil until the reactors are built - and even if it doesn’t work out it still will slow down rollout of renewables

    If you have 100 billion to spend on energy producing you have to choose if you want to go all-in with one source or split it up which would move the end of fossil fuels Back further

    Not to mention having to buy the radioactive materials from dictatorships and having problems to cool down the reactors with rising temperatures and rivers running dry

    I just don’t see how atomic isn’t a huge gamble that can backfire hard (and I’m not even talking about catastrophic events like Fukushima)







  • 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








  • I think it’s right to try and stop the war and also right to try and replace the Israel government so Netanyahu can finally face the justice he’s running from for years.

    Hopefully there will be a good solution including a Palestinian state in the end - but with both Hamas and some of the far-right ministers in Netanyahus cabinet both claiming all of Israel for them that’s not happening.

    At least inside Israel it seems unlikely people will vote for him again and democratic change there is possible - as for Hamas I really don’t see how they will ever give up bombing Israel and doing monstrosities as the one that started this whole mess.

    It’s horrible how the Palestinian people have to suffer both from Hamas and from Israel but painting Israel as the absolute evil is not helping anyone



  • Did I say I was okay with what Isreal is doing? I just asked people to look into the source.

    On average more than 1 post per day and almost 2 comments per hour and ALL of them either Anti-Israel or anti-Biden really seems as if you are having an agenda.

    Not saying that this specific post is wrong - just that the amount of posts is probably inflated for one side because of people like you.

    And for the admins:
    how can my comment be removed for breaking rule 5 which I’d have guessed only applies to account-bans as it’s about voting based on quality not agreement when I didn’t even downvote OPs post or comments and only asked a simple question in well-mannered language?
