    I used to work in a warehouse that made a HUGE deal about the employees using the proper recycling bin so the company can get a nice check from somewhere or other for “going green”

    This warehouse recieved thousands of pallets every day.

    Each pallet is wrapped with hundreds of square feet of plastic wrap.

    Each box is individually wrapped with maybe 10ftsq-50 depending on size.

    Each box contains goods in plastic bags. Many of them with plastic clamshell packaging.

    The products get unwrapped, and placed in larger boxes on shelves.

    When the items get distributed to stores, the items were put in plastic bags, boxed up and wrapped in plastic wrap, boxes placed on pallets that were automatically wrapped by machines in hundreds of square feet of plastic.

    None of the plastic from the warehouse floor is separated from the general waste.

    Remember, it’s your responsibility to reduce waste.

    24 Karat Dubai Chocolate Labubu Benson Boone Crumbl cookie.

    Oh god I feel so old.

    I genuinely don’t know if this is satire or something that actually exists.

    Yes, I could do some light searching and find out, but I’d rather be old and mildly scared about changing trends.

    I’ve seen a reference to “Labubu” several days in a row now. Honestly it reminds me of one of those dime-a-dozen 3d printing brand names.


  • I can’t wait to hear my coworkers or family members defend this after I say “shall not be infringed” and “all gun control is an infringement” or “gun bans don’t work”

    I’ve heard the same argument from all of them, for years, any time Biden or Obama “considered” something about firearms.

    I’m a big believer in the 2nd Ammendment, including the “in keeping a well-regulated militia” aspect that everyone seems to forget about. However, any time a well-regulated militia pops up that isn’t a bunch of religious white raging racist homophobic bigots, the alphabet squads get involved for “national security” reasons. Or they label the group a terrorist group. Just ask the black Panthers. Or anyone accused of being “members of antifa”

    Arm yourselves, train with your firearms. Remember the 4 rules of firearm safety. The government you were taught would protect you is the very thing trying to eliminate you.
