I agree, but they have no incentive to do so when gamers buy it anyway. People need to vote with their wallets.

Call of Duty sales suggest this isn't happening.

I wasn't suggesting we become violent yet, I was just answering your question. The population is definitely large enough for these protests and a violent revolution if it's ever required.

Charging him? With what? Giving out pieces of plastic with straps is illegal?

Edit: alleged conspiracy to aid and abet civil disorder. What a joke. They aren't even trying to make this look legit.

Fair enough. I work weekends so I haven't been able to attend any of these yet, and was surprised I can finally go to one. You seem to base your opinions on first hand experience.

Hmm. Yeah, maybe. It just seems too easy to ignore the weekend protests. Everyone who has power and money are elsewhere on Saturdays.

50 million? The population of the US is something like 340 million and there are more guns than people in this country.

They're finally doing one on a weekday? Excellent. I like the concept of these protests but they seem so trivial when they involve people pretty much just hanging out with signs in front of empty government buildings. Having it on a weekday means disrupting business and work schedules. Don't let them ignore you.

No, they need to be on weekdays. They need to disrupt business and be visible. Weekend protests in front of empty government buildings are worthless.

Edit: worthless was the wrong word. They're not worthless, they just seem too easy to ignore for rich politicians who just go to one of their vacation homes every weekend. Or stay at home in their giant homes outside the city.

Okay, so this one frisbee company disputes the countless articles published with sources about how plastic degrades when it's recycled and... you expect me to just go with that instead of NPR articles.

I doubt the demand for frisbees is high enough to be an encompassing solution for our plastic problem, but I like the idea.

I would think that could work from a structural point of view, but they would have to seal it somehow to prevent more microplastics from being created. Plastics aren't often used as a building material because of toxic off-gassing, but of course this would be outside which would mitigate the issue.

Asphalt is one of the most recyclable materials in existence, when they tear up an asphalt road they just melt it down and pour it back on. If there was plastic involved it would probably interrupt this process.

But I'm not expert. Maybe it would work.

Uh huh. I have also watched videos and read articles supporting what I just said. Scotch tape is a great example because it's so brittle... almost useless for any application other than temporarily taping paper to something. It shows how weak plastic gets when it's recycled.

Huh. They said they were done with subclass expansions. At least as an engineer main I'll get another shot at a subclass I don't hate after the abomination that is mechanist.

Fingers crossed engineers get a staff/casting subclass.
