She's already facing lawsuits from her ex who she cofounded an entertainment company with.

Part of the problem is that the system is set up specifically to create price inefficiencies via hiding the price. Imagine if there were 6 groceries stores in the US - just Walmart, Target, Aldis, Publix, Hannafords, and Piggly Wiggly. Except all of them are subscription based. Additionally...

Its funny to see Arabs suing Westerners for portraying a Greek woman as black.

Hell are you talking about? Young people nationwide are all very left leaning. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-study/compare/party-affiliation/by/region/among/age-distribution/18-29/

Even funnier/sadder: If there's a multiverse, there's probably an alternate universe where Ryan was a beat cop and he's now getting shat on for putting an innocent black man in the ground. I wonder how most liberals would react to the suggestion of, 'what if instead of Ryan meeting that guy...

This is the sort of shit that makes me feel like humans aren't properly calibrated in how to respond to danger these days. I remember recently about a case where a teenager had shot at three teenage brothers with a gel gun and then got beaten to death. And while that's disproportionate, in a...

While I think it was just flat out a bad political move to invite him, I think there's a lot more nuance to this. For someone in Ukraine, the situation was pretty awful. The Soviet Union had condemned millions to die via mass seizures of food and food producing assets. This man-made famine had...

As someone who really hates waste... Paper straws are fucking stupid and not worth it. If you really care that much just make your coffee at home and use a reusable mug.

Where in the flying fuck did I ever advocate this?

You are continuing to ignore context - but yes, society wide mindless consumerism 100% affects me, macroeconomics and demand curves make that fairly obvious and intuitive. Well, I'm glad they aren't violating any school leadership. Governments and corporations are just groups of people, and...

Literally any sane school of ethics suggests that you should involve yourself in problems in your immediate community, especially if they violate your principles, and if the problems are likely to negatively impact you. Also my original statement that your quoting was a hypothetical based on...

You are still increasing the demand for vehicles, and its not like nobody else is selling vehicles. If you want to be environmentally friendly or fiscally responsible, its best to keep your car as long as is reasonable based on mileage, repair costs, etc.

Energy efficiency improvements rarely (almost never) make up for the energy that it costs to create a new product. You are not being more environmentally friendly by buying the most environmentally friendly car every five years. All you are doing is stimulating market demand for more cars...

You can't even finish your personal anecdote without contradicting yourself. If you're buying a brand new model of pretty much any electronic when you have last years model, you aren't using your goods to death. Not even close dude. On what basis? There's no argument here; you're just using...

Nice strawman. It is pretty insane that you would try to conflate "mindless consumerism" with "buying stuff." I also never said there was anything wrong with buying stuff. What I said was: "If one actually cared about the environment: Discourage people from mindless commercialism." This is...

If one actually cared about the environment: Require the top companies that contribute to pollution to label that they contribute to pollution, just like cigarette companies have to warn about cancer. For example, Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Nestle are the top causes of plastic pollution globally...

@Abhorsen Do you believe patent trolling should be legal?

Lots of the kids in poor/bad neighborhoods have had zero positive role models and are borderline psychotic. Meanwhile the teachers often don't really care to intervene unless there's literally a dead body. Indeed, its horrifyingly common for schools to have policies that essentially punish the...
