I chose bike shop arbitrarily. I could have said hardware store, cake supply store, game store, toy store, etc.

So his wealth is illusory? He can't, say, buy a huge yacht or multiple homes or any other major expenditure?

There are those people, they are just a set of people that doesn't intersect the set of major tech CEOs.

Biodegrades is too fuzzy. What's the time horizon for that? What conditions are needed?

When I see epoxy I start to get suspicious about whether this product/process is as sustainable as claimed. Can I throw the whole thing in a compost bin? Or is this just a fancier plastic that will inevitably end up in our oceans?

Can you point me to filaments that are produced from wood and contain no petroleum and are heat sensitive sufficient to be able to print wood grain coloration?

I'm surprised we don't see more attacks on pipelines - both digital and physical. There are many folks out there who take issue with them or see them as a vulnerable part of our infrastructure.

I'm just surprised the community made the critique on this version but not the other one.

Because it implies an unequal distribution of the profits from the labor people invest in the company. And splitting the company in two like you proposed would almost certainly result in some pretty big changes, as one company would be all

I've volunteered one offs before. A local urban farm needed to plant dozens of trees. They spent 15 minutes teaching them turned loose the group. We got them planted in like an hour. Then we moved onto weeding and litter cleanup.

I mean, Hatetris probably wasn't using the Tetris trademarks properly, right? Aren't both just remix culture?

Cool. You've just made some low wage worker deal with your trash. The CEO will never ever be impacted by your action, but one or more people in your local community definitely will. Have a little more respect and empathy for those arou

This is a big problem with charities and other donation driven organizations. People want to say where their donations go, and will often leave gifts for flashy things that can't be used for general purposes. General donations can fill

Why should CEOs anywhere get significant salaries? The gap between the lowest and highest paid position always matters, non profit or not.

The parent poster provided factual information about a logical fallacy. They did not connect your post to the fallacy, they just gave readers information to draw their own conclusions.

What do cattle eat in CAFOs, and how much of their lives are spent there and how much more do they eat there than when they are younger and smaller? And where does that food come from?

You are aware of how beef is raised, right? From antibiotics to increase mass, to an unnatural grain based diet, to confinement and CAFOs. Beef you get at the supermarket is far from "natural."

There's some really great vegetarian options from world cuisine. I draw heavily on Mexican, Indian, Italian, Greek, Turkish, and southeast Asian cuisine in my home cooking. It's a nice variety and a good challenge to find the simp

Health is not the reason these products exist. I buy them because I want an unhealthy treat that doesn't have the same ecological or animal rights impacts as beef. If 10% of whopper sales switch to impossible whoppers, that's a bi

You know, I could have sworn I read in the guidelines somewhere that downvotes aren't to be used just to signal that you disagree, but in diving a bit deeper I think that's just one of those things that people say, but doesn'

I feel the same, actually. I'm a Marxist. I often get downvoted for mentioning something about socialism or social justice in general. I believe many of those downvotes are because the community here is not particularly fond of that id

How do you propose handling the asymmetry between asking questions and answering them? It's much, much cheaper for someone with outlandish views to shotgun you with questions than it is to answer them all in detail. Combine this with t

Can you advocate for doing an ethical thing like that and not have it be considered bragging? I've often wondered about how to encourage others to give more, volunteer more. If I don't do those things (or don't claim to), peo

Reminder to folks that water, food, blankets, and tools are reasonable things to have stored away if you live in the PNW (or anywhere, really), and are relatively low maintenance to store.

Add onto this that many or most of the mountains in the area are active volcanoes that are overdue for an eruption, and the Seattle area could be in for a real bad time over the next 250 years. The projections of a moderate eruption of Moun

Protections for workers in tech are better too. Things like moonlighting and protecting your intellectual property is easier in California than most places in the states. In most of the country, your employer can claim 100% of your intellec
