I like that your first point asks for data on a common phenomenon. (Side note: Everyone was reassigned or got a better job? You sure about that?) Then your second point is a wild anecdote with zero data. (Side note: With zero additional dat

Self checkout machines put people out of a job. Cars put stable boys out of jobs. Light bulbs put candlemakers out of jobs. Are the people who made them also morally culpable? Let’s just make no progress ever in the name of employment I gue

If you watched the video[0], it has 2 extra tires on a left side mount. Calling this a bicycle isn't even accurate. Tricycle is more like it, though technically looks like a quadcycle. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch

I hate this idea that you either have to be happy with 100% of your job, or you have to find a new one.

Whenever someone tells me how much they hate kombucha, I get the feeling they tried one gross bottle one time, and wrote it all off as bad. I am brewing 5 flavors right now in my house. I assure you, they are delicious. Guava Jasmine is my

Are greenhouse emissions lower when fermenting some sweet tea, versus extracting oil from the earth, refining it, converting that into plastic, then forming that plastic into the shape you want? I’m going to go out on a limb here and say, y

> I suspect 99.9% of hikers using an Apple watch don’t have a backpack. I'm sorry, but what? This is a wild claim to assert without any data whatsoever. You think only one in one thousand people on a _hike_ are carrying a backpack?

Nope. None of that says that they have “improved their daily actions” just because they joined a social club.
