Another symbolic act so that they can pretend they did something for the environment and don’t have to actually tackle the major problems which could cut into profits of big companies.
Also anyone got fucked over by the bottle cap spinning in the way of the pour spilling drink all over the table?
No but I’ve had the “pull the cap away not realising it’s attached and pull the bottle of milk out of my hand, sending it crashing to the floor” thing, that was fun
And actually, it wouldn't surprise me if the extra spillage caused by this change (for me it's the new attached caps on tetra packs, like on plant milk) is by design, just another way to get us to buy more product more often because 20% of it now ends up on the counter..
At this point you are just incompetent at pouring in a drink
It’s a very easy change to make, yes the impact is small but why not take the easy stuff first? It’s not like the EU isn’t doing hard stuff as well (right to repair laws or gdpr anyone?)
Lmfao, go fuck yourself ableist bootlicker (so even if we ignore disabled people like you already do, there is literally no impact, there is still the exact same amount of plastic being used, the only difference is a once easy to pour from box is no longer easy to pour from, but hey, isn't it so much easier blaming an individual than it is to acknowledge that you're getting fucked by companies that don't give a shit about neither you nor the planet? Clown)
This went from 20 to 100 real quick. While I agree with your point, I think it could be beneficial to everyone if you didn’t assume malice where ignorance is the more obvious motivator of the previous comment. I could be dead wrong and the person you replied to could indeed be an ableist bootlicker, but I lack the motivation to dive into their post history to find out. Just try and remember that aggression seldomly changes people’s minds and is more likely to cause them to dig in their heels and double down on their ignorant takes.
I can understand that being more difficult for anyone with disabilities. The point though was if it makes an impact for the environment and I’d still say it does, because to recycle you have to get the material back first and it being attached makes that more likely
Don’t know where the corpo bootlicker stuff is coming from, no company is benefitting off this?
Anyway I hope the rest of your day is going better than it did until now
Yeah like the paper straws through a plastic lid. The part that gets chewed and wet with digestive enzymes is some limp paper yet the simple lid can be as plastic as they want.
Supposedly these would end up on the street or somewhere else outside of the waste processing system. So they want you to throw the cap out together with the bottle
Cross posting is built into Lemmy intentionally to allow for post and community discovery. It’s a client issue that there’s no good grouping or deduplication.
The server should group them. If two crossposts are in the same post listing, the server should combine them and add a property in the API to let us know it was combined.
Also, Lemmy has no concept of a “crosspost”. All it does to check a “crosspost” is check if they have the same URL.
Eh, they just liked it a lot. But they definitely popularized it and detailed usages of it in books. They didn’t invent “cut it long and thin” though, since that’s just basic knife work whose origin is lost to time.
The worst (for me) isnt when they don’t use signals at all, but when they use the signal right when they literally turn the steering wheel. This tells me they’ve never taken a minute to think what a turn signal is even actually for.
Would only make sense to signal that you want to take the first exit right after entering. But because some use it to signal just entering, you cannot trust that, so yeah, just don’t do it
I mean, it’s a particularly bold type of stupid. Other poster claimed the air was for freight reasons. I asked for the source, and there was none. If you bothered to at least google, there’s plenty relating to air in chip packaging, including Pringle’s. Pro tip for amateur googlers: Add shrinkflation to the search to get specific results!
Ok, I can’t find a source for them actually doing that. I’ve tried for about an hour. Absolutely no even remotely credible news source has this as an article or even a blog post. Other than that, Pringles cans are specifically designed to prevent all of the crushing, along with the crisps themselves. And, uh, they are sold by weight meaning this holds no real merit even if a source for this could be found.
Which is my point. There is no reason to increase the air in a Pringle’s can. They have reduced the size of the can, increased the amount of air, all in the name of shrinkflation. Same as other bagged chips. All the excuses is just marketing bs.
Go on, have a google. The weight has consistently and distinctly and excessively changed. Surprise reveal, the changes only ever give you less product for the same, or higher price.
Yeah, horse shit. I’ve had brands that use way less air in the bag and they weren’t destroyed, and I remember a time when companies in general didn’t use all the air in the bags and we weren’t getting bags of dust back then.
Old tasting no. It’s not the nitrogen that keeps them fresh, it’s the lack of Oxygen. It will of course keep them from crumbling to pieces though and that’s enough of a reason.
Best I could do in my hometown was call center for an alarm company. The pay was $12/hour (in 2010), but we were completely disallowed anything on the floor other than 1 (one) pen, 1 (one) blank notebook, and a water bottle. Our computers didn’t have internet access, so we got to sit there with our thumbs up our asses until the phone rang.
Oh, you're the lifeblood of @gameart, aren't you? I tried to contribute once, but then my favorite screenshot I ever took never even federated at all and I got too discouraged.
Still sad about it, tbh. No idea if it would happen again or not. I should dig through my folders again. I don't think I have much, but I must have something
Communism, especially Marxist-Leninism, seems to require some sort of benevolent dictator who is willing to work towards destroying their own power, which obviously never seems to happen. ML theories state the need for a Vanguard state, which is a dictatorship that is supposed to be there to simply enforce the rule of the working class until a time when it is no longer needed.
So the idea of dictatorship is built into the major form of communism that has been tried, basically. One of the main problems with this is that the steps a nation has to take before it gets to “true communism” in ML theory are ripe for abuse, and hard to get through without someone corrupt seizing power.
I think there are some good theories in Marx writings, it’s just the methods for attempting to implement it definitely need to be reexamined because they don’t work.
This is where I tend to disagree with Marx as well.
Capital is a fantastic book full of scathing and prophetic analyses of capitalism and its innate degradation of value and connection.
The Communist Manifesto is a book with some good ideas but some implementation that I find flawed. And that’s not a knock on Marx-- critiquing problems is a significantly easier prospect than offering solutions.
But a lot of Marx’s proposals for the implementation of Communism are rooted in authoritarianism, even if their end goal is the dissolution of the state and capital. Also, for an ideology versed in the formation and interdependence of worker communities, the Day of the Rope is kind of antithetical to establishing solidarity and mostly serves, I believe, as masturbatory schadenfreude.
But hey, I’m willing to fix some of the stuff that doesn’t work instead of throwing more fuel into the machine that over-harvests people and our planet to the point of destruction.
I really like this nuanced take, btw. Thanks for posting it.
The vanguard state is a mean to reach communism, it is not communism itself. That’s a pretty big difference.
The difference is the same with the gouvernement révolutionnaire in France during the revolution, and you can make parallels with US revolution too. I’m pretty sure the US government is very different from what it was during its war against UK.
Such as the Russian revolution that modern communists have mixed praise for until a dictator emerged and so it doesn’t count.
Or the Chinese revolution that modern communists have mixed praise for until a dictator emerged and so it doesn’t count.
Or the Cuban revolution that be serious you know goddamn well what we’re talking about. I wasn’t being coy. People call these dictatorships communist because they’re the only countries that were ever called communist, and - generally speaking - they became dictatorships after genuinely attempting to implement communism.
If you want to say it’s like shitting on democratic republics because of the French revolution, hey great sure, that’s an attempt gone terribly wrong. Revolutions are pluripotent and dictatorships can emerge from nearly anything. But advocates of secular democracy can point to examples that went right.
Dude!! I’ve done this!! I shaved my beard except for my mustache for my cousins wedding, no one started a conversation with “how’s work”. Everyone wanted to talk about the stache lmao
