@Hipska I have no affiliation with nor speak for Elementary, so my general advice is that when someone posts a clear boundary, don’t try to whatabout your way around it like raptors testing an electric fence.

A variation of the observer effect is that you won’t find the rarely needed yet important object lost in your home (special adapter, cordless drill charger, the good pen, etc.) until you collapse the quantum wave function by purchasing its replacement.

@grumpy_website How does anyone make this mistake solved decades ago?

@AnthonyJK No, it was at Joe Hill’s image reply

@AnarchoNinaWrites @AnthonyJK Piling on with a semi-related ‘thing bad’ meme is a low effort way to get likes on corporate social media, but it falls flat on fedi

@Infoseepage Aside from the open question of disposal, I don’t see this as productive. It sounds more like right wingers shredding their Nikes and Kapernick jerseys; you know, virtue signaling.

We will gain more ground destroying cop cars and detainment camps than asking light environmentalists who paid off their cars 5-15 years ago (before Musk was mask off) to just… dump them somewhere?

@Infoseepage @streetartutopia What’s the way forward, set them on fire? Few people can afford a new vehicle lately.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Okay, you talked me into it. This ended up being a nice, competent self-contained story (with the minimum MCU references to satisfy pedants). Great acting, representation, and grounding in real history so we have relatable touch points.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @virtualinanity Gotcha. Yeah, I want everyone to have free vaccine and contraceptive access too. Last I knew, Earth can currently produce enough food for 11 billion people, and more if vertical farming takes off. So I get it now that ‘overpopulation’ framing is a distraction at best; the root problem of “having more kids than you can afford to feed” is capitalism’s artificial scarcity / unequal distribution for profit.

@virtualinanity @AnarchoNinaWrites I would like to know more, since all I can find from credible sources are corporatized farming practices and debunked anti-vax rumors.

@salad_bar_breath One of my youngest thoughts that could in hindsight be categorized as radical:

Why does everyone in this suburb need to buy their own lawnmower and stuff when they’re only used a few times a month? Each block or neighborhood should have a communal lawn care tool shed.

@AnarchoNinaWrites This is a much more practical harm-reducing approach than theory purist posters with reddit-brain takes like “socialists are worse than fascists.”

@anildash We all mocked Meta for their cartoon character VR meetings, though…

@AnarchoNinaWrites “The problem is foreign people buying all our land and charging rent,” my coworkers say, having added that one unnecessary word.
