That’s all good and well and I agree with you, but I also believe if you have and are continuing to feed the machine, then you don’t get to be put on a pedestal or respected for recognizing how bad the machine is. This person is repeating something that is already very well known and accepted and is simultaneously adding to the alarm while causing it. I have extremely low patience for that particular brand of person. They are continuing to cause the problem they are rallying against.

If I were face to face with this person, I’d genuinely say “either quit working there or shut the fuck up.”

“im a henchman for a bad guy…and lemme tell you…I think we might be starting to do bad stuff…not sure yet…”

Thanks bud

Grammatically, it doesn’t say that. An act of aggression or a nuclear blah blah is vague enough that you can read it with or without a comma

That’s not badly written. Thats intentionally vague so one can justify a lot of different responses. That’s how these things work

It’s been the consistent recommendation since day 1.

Son of gold would be “goldson”. “Goldman” would be a moniker for someone who worked with gold (miner, jeweler, gilder) or possessed/wore a lot of it.

Some sort of rule about verification may help your cause, and I hope it runs well for you

Without strong and trusted mods, this will be interesting…

Zelensky said something about X You said “well he didn’t do anything about Y”

That’s whataboutism. You may have meant it honestly, but ultimately what that kind of argument does is attempt to reduce zelenskys response to this action by comparing it to how he may have done something not as good in a different situation.

whispers you’re eating polymers. The bad part of gum.

It’s the same statement with extra steps. To pretend otherwise is to be willfully ignorant.

If you eat celery or beans, I’ve got bad news for you

Your first link is about micro plastics, and they even say not all brands have them. So if a product is made of plastic and doesn’t always contain micro plastics (which are found in the air and water and soil and foods), then…polymers might not actually be plastics sometimes. Or in gum, many times.

Also silk, wool, cellulose, protein

Well, not quite. You’d have to have rights to the land to do that. Else someone could ride up and just take it from you.

So then it’s not worse?

Polymer != Plastic. Plastic is a polymer, but not all polymers are plastic. Wtf is this source.

To be fair, the line between those two is pretty thin. One does imply the other. You drawing a gulf between them is silly to me.

That’s not what blue collar/white collar crime is

If you do it for side money, you’re only accomplishing that by fucking someone else over. Otherwise you wouldn’t make money.
