Man, I grew up loving to read cyberpunk but living thru a cyberpunk dystopia in the making really sucks

Total pinko. Red blooded Americans only swim in a patriotic mix of sewage and industrial effluent

I was talking about weight vs mass

I feel in a perfect world all Flock cameras would get smashed by whatever Good Samaritan happened to be closest.

That's only the most recent reason making things worse.

Well, he sure can't blame the ultra-wealthy oligarchy that groomed him to wield power on their behalf.

For day to day life, weight and mass might as well be the same. I love science and astronomy but I'm not buying a pound of lunch meat at the deli counter to take into space.

To me, kilometers and miles are in a similar class; I don't have a reason to prefer one over the other. Same with kilos/pounds. Even though a kilo is more than double a pound, it's used to measure the same kinds of things. As with Centimeters/inches, quarts/liters, yards/meters.

Metric seems to do better at measuring very small things, or very precise things, but lacks middle measures that help with day to day life like Ounces and Feet. If there was a metric foot, like a quarter or third of a meter, it would be more useful. Same if there was a metric ounce, lets say 25 grams (an actual ounce is slightly over 28 grams).

I got alot to say, my dude

As do I

The natural extreme of “libertarianism” is just anarchy

Whoa whoa whoa, Anarchy is philosophy of non-hierarchical community-based cooperation. It's on the entire other end of the political spectrum.

Biggest misconception by far. You can't just "melt it down" like you can with glass or aluminum or steel

In most countries, recycling paper only made financial sense if they shipped it to poor countries or used prison labor so it could be inexpensively sorted thru. Traditionally it was China, but they stopped accepting it. And letting microorganisms do what they do consumes less resources like electricity and less industrial chemicals.

Any plan that starts with "if people would just", they in fact will probably not

They're also fascist countries where the government can and do set strict limits on content without concern for rule of law or the will of the people.

They're more of a backup option. The point being that it's safer and cheaper than modern high-capacity batteries.

Someone wished Trump would die of disease (and didn't get banned), I wish him a long life and lots of suffering from disease so reddit banned me for advocating for violence (they'd been targeting me)

That's why there's been a movement for years to end Qualified Immunity and force Police to carry their own insurance like Doctors do. As long as Police face no serious consequences for breaking the Law, they'll continue to be vicious thugs.

Important to note that recycling some things makes sense, like metal. And recycling glass makes sense but sanitizing and reusing bottles makes alot more sense. There's also been a push to compost as much paper product as possible since that makes way more sense than recycling paper. Our green bins now take any brown cardboard with no tape and pizza boxes.

The nearest major city to me has had electric buses since 1940. There are power cables overhead and poles that link the bus to the grid. No need for expensive flammable batteries that need extensive charging.
