Sure, but let's incentive companies to do that, not individuals.

I recycle all my plastics at home. The grocery store I work in recycles no plastic at all.

Time for the companies to start doing their fair share.

They'll just make certification so expensive only the wealthy will qualify.

You'll never hear another perspective again.

It's interesting, because the idea is basically that knowledge and ideas should be constructive, so as not to pollute the sum of human knowledge.

So that raises the question, what is the constructive conclusion to "memetic effluent"? Without one, is the concept itself an example of such effluent?

They're an American company, and I'm not yet aware of any lawsuits setting the precedent of the GDPR applying to server infrastructure in the USA, which is outside the jurisdiction of the GDPR.

So if they've copied your data to their American servers already (you can bet they have), it's there for good.

As if deleting your account deletes your data.

You're definitely going to run into a size limit before you hit the weight limit with something that light and bulky.

Better math would be to measure the dimensions of a case and count how many cases fit on a standard 3' x 4' pallet stacked eight feet high.

One, I don't believe it has to be that way. With enough taxes on the wealthy, regulation on commerce, and social programs for the poor, I think a system of fairness can be achieved.

Two, I don't believe that communism of any form result in a sense of fairness for anyone. I believe most humans have an innate desire to work to improve their lives, and I don't believe communism offers the same freedom and opportunities for self improvement through honest work that can be offered by tightly regulated capitalism in combination with strong social programs.

I do too, except it's billionaires instead of capitalism.

I believe in capitalism, it just needs to be very tightly controlled and heavily skewed in favor of the disadvantaged to keep it fair.

Has piped ever actually worked for you? I try to watch something on piped every couple weeks on desktop, and regularly on mobile because of the bot, and the videos ... just don't play. It's just never worked.

So the exact same reaction that men the world over have when women start demanding equal rights.

Because Korea in general has been historically misogynistic

There's nothing particularly Korean about this. Basically every culture is historically misogynistic, the exceptions are few and far between and are generally romanticized based on limited information.

The exact same reactions took place in America 100 years ago during women's suffrage, and are taking place again now with the abortion debacle.

Are haploid forms really considered complete? They literally have half the genetic material, don't they? So you could say they are half as human.

Have you ever worked for a company that did something? Then your name should be in the credits. You probably did a greater amount of directly value generating labor than the executives did.

The CEO of Docusign, a company that JUST signs documents for you, made $85,940,000 this year," wrote another person, whose post garnered over 22,000 likes.

That just shows how grossly overpaid other executives are. The problem isn't that Wikipedia execs aren't paid enough, it's that other executives are paid way too much.

I'm arguing with you, genius, because I think you're wrong.

There are not a "hundred obvious ways that a fast processor might benefit somebody", as you stated. There aren't really any good reasons. Games are a stupid reason. Everything necessary works fine with an older processor. It's not the 2000s anymore where software bogs down any computer older than three years.

It's because there's a lot of farmers there. Weather is very important to farmers. Need rain, but not too much, alternating with sun, but not too much, and it can't be too hot or too cold.

Weather is important when your livelihood depends on it.

I used an 11 year old phone for about 6 months while I waited to get a new phone. I never had any problems with processor speeds despite having about 60% the processing power of a then-current phone.

I think people vastly overestimate the need for a bigger better processor.

"ADHD are just people with normal impulses, but more frequent and less able to control them"

I mean that is a pretty good description of it. The impulses aren't a neurodivergent trait, it's the frequency and reduced ability to control them that are neurodivergent.

It's funny how innocuous stereotypes sometimes get popular like that. In ten or twenty years that stereotype will have been repeated by the current generation so much that the next generation will find it offensive.

have everything to lose

You mean they won't profit as much.

Nothing they lose will be so much that they have to change their lifestyles over it.
