  • I take as long and as hot of showers as I can because I know in 10-20 years, that will be a luxury. I also know that it’s pointless for me to try to conserve. If me, all my neighbors, all my neighbors’ neighbors, and everyone all of us knows made a pledge to use as little water as we could, it would be insignificant in the face of inefficient agriculture and corporate greed. Every one here could use over 50 gallons of water a day and it would still be absolutely miniscule compared to industrial use.

    Anyone saying that water conservation should happen on an individual level is smoking some corporate BS. On an individual basis, there is enough water for everyone to live like a watery nymph if they choose to. It’s corporations that are overwhelmingly sucking up the supply.

    So take your time in the shower. Don’t stress about frivolous uses right now. They won’t be around forever and taking advantage of them presently won’t do diddly to stop the future.

    It is near impossible for a consumer in the US to waste food.

    This is because the massive amount of waste that’s produced by grocery stores makes any conversation of consumer waste a moot point.

    In this instance, for example, if he didn’t use that Nutella, odds are it would wind up in the dumpster a few weeks later, still completely sealed and untouched by anyone.




  • 2 months later and there’s still not a satisfying answer. I would have hoped 1 or 2 apps would have risen to the top by now, but it’s still just a scattershot of people suggesting like 8-10 different ones. There’s no consensus.

    I don’t want to download an app and get all set up only for development on it to suddenly halt. Then I’d either have to switch again, or be stuck with one that’s forever missing features.

    Too many new apps popped up in too short of time. Some of them are bound to fail or be abandoned. Some of them are likely to have been hacked together by amateurs and contain gaping security or functionality flaws.

    Does anyone have a suggestion with more substance than “I like this app because it’s the one I downloaded”?

    I love posts like this, it lets me know most people still don’t have the first clue what they’re talking about. It’s honestly a bit impressive how nearly every point you tried to make is either misleading or straight up wrong.

    I’m not sure I’ve ever actually seen a real Ben Shapiro tweet. All I ever see are obvious fake ones like this. Like, there is a ton to make fun of Ben Shapiro for, but shit like this is just so low-effort it’s childish.

    This is the same flavor of shit as the Babylon Bee. It’s “satire” but done in a way that there’s no real joke. It’s just “Hey look at what a piece of shit this person is! Here’s a made up scenario where they act like a piece of shit!” And then idiots who believe everything they see online fail to notice that it’s made up and take it as fact.
