I guess this is why most billionaires have advisors so they don't say stupid shit like this

someone tell this person that something like %90 of US science is done by foreigner scientists and immigrants

I think we can all agree

littering << not recycling < recycling << reducing plastic usage

and all the first message is a strongly worded reminder of the last two relations, it is not meant to claim recycling ~ littering or recycling<littering.

Why would I criticise someone picking litter from the streets, that does not make any sense. It is a parallel thread on the topic of recycling. Take this message as a correction to the first message if you will.

what a toxic piece of shit, he is like the most obnoxious type of kid who screams, flails arms and legs when he loses a game and gets confronted about his shitty behaviour. except he is also the president of the US

all your base are belong to us

Ok, what I meant is it releases even more plastic on top of (maybe more than) producing it. Recycling plastic is not the magical solution it was once presented to us. Yes we all have recycling engrained to our spinal cords since primary education but unfortunately it is not the solution, it is a bandaid that is having difficulty covering up for the horrible consumption habits.

We already know a ridiculous amount of microplastics is accumulating in human brain tissue:

"Brain samples, all derived from the frontal cortex, exhibited substantially higher concentrations of MNPs than liver or kidney (two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), P < 0.0001), but comparable to recently published Py-GC/MS data from carotid plaques4, with a median of 3345 µg g−1 (25–75%: 1,267–5,213 µg g−1) in 2016 samples and 4917 µg g−1 (25–75%: 4,026–5,608 µg g−1) in 2024 samples"

If it turns out to be damaging to internal organs as well, we may have lost too much time on not impactful enough practices like recycling and soon pass the point of no return (given an exponential growth of microplastic pollution). So I don't have any patience for "recycle your plastic to save the world and win great prizes" type feel good stories.

yea this is a logical fallacy, because nowhere did I say this guy does something that is worse than littering. reducing plastic usage is the most effective way of combating plastic pollution and I would like to see anyone claim we dont use plastic redundantly because it is cheap and convenient.

This really seems like the kind of situation where you fix one crack and another one pops elsewhere.

Not to mention, car tyres are possibly also one of the highest contributers to microplastics so we might as well be fucked.

edit: maybe my initial post was worded in a confusing way read my update above if you are interested

recycling plastic releases even more microplastics. ban plastic

not really random, this guy seems on par with the Israelis watching Gaza bombings from a cliff while eating popcorn. He also seems to have a full hard on for Trump, so for him all kinds of humanitarian crimes are probably ok as long as the president supports Israel State's genocide. So not really random, perhaps more on the same level as Luigi.

Well he seems like a total piece of soulless shit, lets give him that.

how is the answer to this yes?

it got the number of tentacles wrong

well you can't rule out the worst possible case, so lets get rolling

alright we better get started then

here we go infinite cuts

How is it obvious for two people, what if I have horrible manual dexterity and despite my best efforts, I slice the cake like 1/3 and 2/3, and the other person picks the bigger piece? I would very much envy the other piece
