The same people who legislate that the average Joe has to pay for shopping bags to stem the amount of waste but does fuck all about planned obsolescence in products. Perfectly acceptable to throw that fridge freezer away after 5 years because it’s been engineered to fail. Simply must keep those pennies rolling in. Rusty fridge from the early 80’s still ticking away nicely in the garage though.

Incredible how lobbying by big business makes them exempt from their part in all of this despite their contribution to global warming being more impactful that the average Joe could make in multiple lifetimes.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
