After learning that most of our plastic waste is sold to other countries for disposal, instead of being recycled, I stopped separating my trash and it all goes in one bag now. I spent so much of my life washing and separating that waste to do my part for the planet only to find out it meant nothing. If the trash man is going to ship my waste overseas, then he can fucking separate it and wash it.

Side note, the paper straws may be better for the environment, but they are likely just as bad for us as plastic straws. Glues are used to keep the paper straws stiff, and they will break down and leach out while you drink. Not all glues are safe for human consumption. Now I just take the lid off the beverage and drink straight from the cup like a savage.

Side side note, fuck AI and data centers.

Please at least recycle your aluminum!

I would if I had any. I stopped buying soda ages ago to reduce waste, and now I just drink lose leaf teas.

Side side note, fuck AI and data centers.

I should start adding a footnote to all (longer) comments:

Ceterum censeo centra datorum esse delenda

Or maybe more concisely:

Centra Datorum delenda sunt

(Strictly speaking, this leaves out the "AI" part, but that would bloat the sentence even more)
