Technically these (especially one of them) can be all of our new year resolution.
Hmmm doing 3 of the 4. Doesn't seem to work. It's time for the 4th one?
Yeah, I think I should really take recycling more seriously too.
No, you should abandon plastic recycling and concentrate on the other two Rs. Plastic recycling isn't a real thing, it's just a way to manipulate you into unsustainable and irresponsible consumption.
And if you can go meatless mondays, you can stop being cruel and violent every day.
No worries, I know, but I was making a joke where I purposely misunderstood what the person before me was saying.
I think a recycled plastic guillotine could make it worth it, even if the edge would dull after just one head, but we can make it work.
There's a reason why the vast majority of the US celebrated when one millionaire, mass-murdering piece of refuse was gunned down in the street.
Imagine the party that would erupt if it were one of Donald's golf buddies.
I agree with the intent of this 100%
I tend to think the people who might not don’t have a clear understanding of what “for profit” means. My dad heard “for profit” and goes “yeah, that’s a good thing. I work for a profit too”
We need some clearer way to express “exploitative and extractive profit”
When my local mom n pop shop makes a profit, it’s so they can maybe expand their menu or open another location across town. Maybe send their kids to college. Or even buy a summer home, extravagant for most but still pretty reasonable. When ketamine king makes a profit, it’s by exploiting millions so he can feel like the worlds most special little guy and light another 5 years of global breathable air on fire in the process.
We don't need a different work, we need people to learn what they mean.
Your father does not make profit, he makes a salary/wage. Profit is the surplus revenue after expenses.
my dad does make a profit, he owns a small business.
Is he the only employee?
nope
Tell him to stop stealing from his workers.

Plastic recycling is a scam, otherwise perfect.
How did we get lumbered with that chud of a packaging material.
Glass: rinse me out, use me again. 💪
Metal: melt me down, good as new. 💪
Plastic: I can't be shredded and turned into road surfaces without my lid...
Money. It's the consequence of living in a system that prioritizes profit over humanity and environment. Metal is expensive, glass is heavy and doubles shipping costs. So we created a cheap, non-renewable non-recyclable material that we can use once then bury in the ground (or simply create random environmental disasters) for future generations to deal with. Profit today, consequences tomorrow.

One of these is so far removed from where my personal feelings stand on what is right, that I simply cannot condone that type of behavior!
I mean really??? Just NOT eat meat every monday??? No thanks. If anything I'd rather have cannibal mondays. Where we eat the corpses of all the billionaires we'll be killing. No sense in letting that meat go to waste!
Meat is back on the menu, boyz!
That Lord of the Rings quote had massive implications of Orc society:
- Orcs could be (and were) vegetarian
- Orcs have menus, a.k.a. restaurants and civilization
- There could be boy orcs instead of ones formed as adults (though to be fair, the movie showed only an Uruk-Hai "formed," from what I can remember)
Furthermore, from the orcs enthusiastic reaction to meat's reappearance on the menu, we can surmise that orcs were formerly omnivorous and were forced into a vegetarian diet for unknown reasons.
I'm not sure how much of it is speculation and how much of it is from Tolkien's work, but I think orcs were theorised to be corrupted elves. That's to say, they likely still have a reproductive cycle like presumably elves have, they just split off and evolved into their own branch.
I guess, similar to how the work in The Elder Scrolls.
This could be completely wrong though.
You know you can just compost it, no need to eat something bad for you.

A lot of people are seem to be fans of murder.
Personally, I see it as a waste. I'm partial to creating a project to establish a mining colony in the asteroid belt, and sending them there, never to return.
The thing that a lot of people forget about the French revolution is that much of the same ruling class stayed in power and it was mostly common people that got the guillotine under the guise of revolution. If we were to establish a mining colony, Trump and JD Vance might get sent to space but the same institutions and practices would stay in place under a different name because I assume we'd be mining for profit. Let's find a way instead to dismantle capitalism.
What a lot of people also forget is that the french revolution resulted in an absolutist dictatorship. It took a few revolutions and centuries to get France into a somewhat democratic shape.
The issue here is that a revolution requires a strong leadership that is fast, decisive, and unquestioned. Good revolutionary leaders rarely make for good democratic leaders who voluntarily step aside to let the people choose another leader.
If the french revolution were to happen in the 21st century USA, it would be much more likely to be done by white supremacists or some other exteme radical group than by anyone non-radical, and chances are that the US would end up with a totalitarian regime afterwards that would make the orange clown and his gang look like school kids.
Costs too much.
Could instead be turned into Soylent Green. Or fertilizer.
I've seen The Expanse, I know how this goes 🤔

RRR.
Reduce
Reuse
Repeat French history
Of those things, only one will reliably work though.
Recycle as the last step before reusing what you can and reducing your consumption. For example, instead of buying a new 2 liter of coke, wash out your old bottle and fill it up at a McDonald's soda fountain with better mixed coke. 😌
