  • Ah yes, disabled people are defective and should be cared for in special facilities for their own protection - lets call them wellness resorts. Also they should be prevented from having children and perpetuating their defective jeans. Also they should have to contribute to their own upkeep doing easy jobs like picking cotton fruit. Also depressed people are defective too soo....

  • Wow I hadn't actually realised this had changed, but of course it has.

    I remember watching "beyond 2000" as an 80s kid. A TV show about the inventions and stuff, what life would be like, it was so amazing.

    Now we all know the future will just be more oppressive than it is now.

  • Lately there's been someone chopping chives every day and posting a photo of the result.

    There was a bit of a drama when someone noticed that the same photo was reused from a couple of weeks back.

    The poster said they didnt have time to do it that day but wanted to keep the streak so they just re-posted an old one hoping no one would notice.

    It was just such an amazing and engaging sequence of events and I feel fulfilled having been able to follow this roller coaster of emotion /s.

    I find the drama subs like /r/AITAH entertaining. I know its all fake, but the groupthink responses are intriguing.

  • How does trash collection/recycling work where you live, and do you like the system?

    Jump

  • Yeah I think this is the story everywhere.

    PET (plastic drink bottles) can be recycled to produce more drink bottles, indefinitely and cost effectively.

    Soft plastics like bread bags can be converted into shopping bags but in Australia at least it doesn't seem to be cost effective.

    A few other types of plastic like yoghurt containers can be down-cycled into ugly green benches or something.

    Everything else just can't be cost effectively converted into anything useful.

    Recycling is just a fig leaf for plastic producers.

    If you're amazingly talented and spend 10 years of your life building something amazing but have no money, when someone offers you millions you're just gonna take it.

    These energies would be better spent ensuring that porn stars aren't being exploited and have access to appropriate support.

  • Yeah but... as an 80s kid my dream job was going to be one of those guys that ride around on the back of the truck. I remember my mum trying to talk me out of it because it would be hard work having to run to pick up the bins.

    I also remember the day when the robotic arm truck showed up... I was genuinely disappointed.

  • It's a bit of a shit show in Australia.

    Each city is responsible for it's own waste management. Mine has 3x channels: green waste for biodegradable anything, recyclables, and everything else.

    The recyclables are a furphy though because, you can put anything plastic or paper in them, but ofc it's really only the PET plastic and the cardboard that actually gets recycled - the rest just goes to land fill.

    We have a separate system for specific PET bottles vendors charge $0.10 per bottle, and you can return the bottles to a collection place to get that back.

    We did have a separate system for soft plastics like plastic bags or whatever but that pretty much just wasn't viable.

    Rant triggered: we've aparently stopped single use plastics like takeaway boxes, plastic bags, and plastic cuttlery, but IMO that's really just a fig leaf for companies that ship products in plastic packaging. It really shits me.

    Additional rant: producers of plastic products like garbage bags have started this bullshit "ocean plastics" thing. They claim 50% or whatever of their bullshit bags are made from "ocean plastic" which they define as recycled plastic obtained from any community within 50km of the ocean (the vaaaast majority of Australians) which has no other plastic collection program. So basically... they charge city councils to disappear their plastic waste and then charge idiots to buy their "ocean plastic" garbage bags.

  • This is a dramatic generalisation.

    There are plenty of tourist destinations that people love because they are over-run with tourists - the very antithesis of your comment.

    I'm not really sure how tourists are ruining the housing market on mount everest. As an aside, I suspect the locals are generally pretty happy with the tourism industry on and around mount everest.

    Of course there are examples of tourism disaffecting locals, but these cases are really limited. In general, tourism is a great industry for regional centres.

  • I'm hard pressed to think of a place which has had it's character extracted.

    Sure, tourism can change places, excessive tourism can harm the culture of a place, but in all but extreme cases I think that's a pretty hollow argument - culture is always transient. Conservatives always argue against change and external influences.

    Whataboutism is to suggest that thing A isn't really a problem because thing B has other similar characteristics. However, an assertion that A through Z all share the same characteristics is to suggest that an argument against the existence of thing A on those grounds is absurd.

  • Weird take.

    How is tourism extractive like mining? What is extracted?

    You could make the same complaints of any primary industry.

    If you think of inflows and outflows to and from a small local economy, in an era where almost every purchase is an outflow to Amazon et al, tourism is an important inflow. Locals cant just keep passing the same $1 around until someone spends it online, you need money coming in.

    You can call it "trickle down" economics if you like, but i dont think thats a fair summation. In a small coffee shop, there's no fat cat corporate owner, but a half dozen people with jobs.

    Its absolutely true that in some places airbnb has reduced the number of homes available to locals, but thats not generally true of all tourist destinations. Most jurisdictions where this is / was a significant problem have enacted appropriate laws to mitigate it.

    Its not about crooked politicians and their rich friends. A reasonable level of tourism is good for everyone, but too much can obviously cause problems.

  • Its because the rain stimulates life outside the water, there's more food everywhere.

    The moist soil / sand means grubs & worms come to the surface. Insects are on the move looking for food / evading rain. Birds are snapping them up and discarding bits and pooping. Rain is washing all this stuff from river banks into the water.

    Et cetera.

    Same thing happens on the rising tide. High tide is the climax. Then everyone takes a break on the ebbing tide.

    Once my neighbour warned me about robots with lasers invading or something, and was talking to someone who didn't exist.

    I called the po-po, who showed up and talked him into going to the emergency department with them.

    I bumped into his mum a few weeks later and she thanked me for calling the police. She said he'd been having a psychotic break or something.
