  • It’d be less of a problem if there was no cost to throwing edible food thrown away. That excess grown food decomposes and releases potent greenhouse gasses; an externality that the people deciding how much food to grow don’t have to pay. The entire motive for not selling all your crops is to maximize profit, and profit has no regard for how it serves society.

    It’s all too often left out of the conversation, but part of the feedback loop for chasing profits are the opportunity costs when trying to attract investment capital. The capitalist class being able to freely invest wherever they want causes them to demand corner cutting, force exploitative practices, and encourage everyone to ignore externalities. Capitalism is not simply events and practices that can be viewed in isolation, but an interconnected system where bullshit in one industry does not stay in one industry. People not being able to grasp such a large and interconnected system is part of why it is so hard to oppose.

    It’s viscerally upsetting to view food being wasted when so many cannot afford to eat properly. Even though throwing away food it is not the direct reason for mass starvation, it is a cog in the machine that creates it. For that reason, people drawing the line between the two is not as irrational as you think.







  • Their boost really was that much more powerful, plus they used it every round, even buying one of the most maligned and disrespectful weapons in the game, the auto sniper, which really rubbed people the wrong way. A position like that never should’ve made it into a professional tournament, and Valve’s standards for such silliness in maps drastically changed in the following years. Now you can rarely have so much fun 😔





  • That’s absolutely fucked that people are claiming to know your feelings better than you do (trans reddit has really gone down the toilet in recent years). The only person who can decide if you regret it is you, and your experience making others uncomfortable shouldn’t be your problem. Preferring to have a dick and balls does not make you any less of a woman, as I’ve met cis women who wished they had them and trans women who like their’s.

    As far as how you move forward, I have no direct answers. I really hope you don’t kill yourself and instead seek professional support, because helping with a loss like this is not something us internet peeps are qualified to do. We can only listen, share our own experiences, and affirm your emotions, which might not be everything you need. Since your case isn’t common, I’d look for therapists who work through bodily loss more generally AND are trans supportive, although you never know who you’ll find.
