It makes me feel better that I am not directly working for them in the same way that putting plastic in my recycling bin makes me feel better about having no choice but to have plastic waste follow me around everywhere.
edit) have you tried eating food without having plastic involved?
- scarface_74 3y agoI find it difficult to take people seriously who continuously clutch their pearls about the evil of BigTech yet and still benefit from it. I bet you dollars to donuts that you’re making a higher than median wage working in tech instead of being a teacher, working at a non profit etc. The tech industry is a net negative on society. Yet it’s a net positive for you. It’s the other people that it hurts. > in the same way that putting plastic in my recycling bin makes me feel better about having no choice but to have plastic waste follow me around everywhere. I bet most Mormons use very little plastic when they eat - they have the courage of their convictions. I hate to break it to you. But most things you separate for recycling isn’t actually recycled.
