Not the commenter, but you roll the burning part off. The remaining tobacco burns into ash and there's no (real) littering. It is a form of pollution, but it sort of blows away.
When I smoked cigarettes, I would roll the cherry off and stick the butt in my pocket and carry it until I saw a trash can. The cretins at my work who leave cig butts on the ground make me sick. I saw one drop his butt in a garden planter the other day. A trash can was ten feet away. Assholes.
Exactly the sort of answer I'd expect from a philosopher (and I greatly appreciate it as someone who loves learning and knowledge). My friend did go into tech with his philosophy degree. It's certainly not that he didn't get to use knowledge from the field. Just that there's no gig being a philosopher in modern times.
I went from a prestigious role in tech to a much lower-rung one that isn't so demanding. I'd rather have a pleasant life than a large paycheck. Went from miserable to very happy.
Not able to recommend a community that sounds like what you're looking for (maybe you could start it?), but here's something along the lines of what I think you're looking for:
I helped a user last week who didn't know they could drag to select multiple items. In 2025, who doesn't know that? It blew his mind.
Hey, if you want to layoff people critical to managing nukes and run a lying website that is open to SQL-injection attacks, that takes a lot of "special" knowledge. I think it's great that we're paying dumbasses to fuck things up. What other job could they get with such prestige?
.world defeterated with a couple of other instances accusing them of being tankies. You might be missing some content. Also, there has been some recent drama about mods at .world. Stupid rulings. I don’t think .world is a great place to be. But that’s just me.
Sometimes I post links and avoid .world because I want to ensure that they get full reach because of the defed issue.
I mostly read headlines but not articles. This is so that I can send emails to a family member who voted for this shit again. I throw in a one-liner that sarcastically alludes to the terrible story and a link with the headline in the subject. I'm super pissed that my mother voted for this asshole (again), so if the story is about dismantling the education dept, my comment would be: "Your grandkids go to a private school, so they're fine. Sucks to be a poor kid!"
Honestly, if I wasn't screaming at her (via email, not literally), I'd probably have to avoid altogether. But I believe it's necessary that she read about every possible terrible thing she invoked with her vote. Or, maybe more realistically, I'm just that mad at her even if she'll never change. Our relationship is likely over.
You mean that gay plane that dropped that gay bomb and now everybody's gay? Yeah, sure.
