I just don’t understand how companies can somehow suggest that putting more plastic microfibers into the world is somehow a good thing if they’re sourced from RECYCLED plastic. 🤣 here take a swig of this poison! I made it from sustainably-sourced toxic chemicals! #EarthDay2022🤷♂️
@Crumbsey Yeah for sure. It’s definitely a nightmare come to life. I wish the powers with the power to do something about it would actually do something about it.
@NCStinn You may remember that back in the day you were dialing a local number by default, so you had to dial 1 just to get outside your own area code. I’m 50/50 on using the 1 nowadays. Old habits die hard 😋
The way so many businesses operate their first level of direct customer communication nowadays is truly ludicrous. I call with some questions to find out preliminary information before I make an appointment, and the receptionist completely ignores my question and starts plowing
through her own line of questions to cram me into their automated treadmill to schedule an appointment for me. Then when I protest that they haven’t answered the question that I started with they get an attitude, double down on not answering my questions, and won’t apologize
@Crumbsey Not sure if this is a question or the beginning of a thread but seeing as there is a visible lack of threading happening for the last two hours I’ll go ahead and assume this is an open forum 😉 I’ve read that bananas and (salt?) can be helpful. Actually let me double check …
This is what I’ve always believed- 10 years in standard time in China was great. Early summer sunrises were amazing. There’s a reason standard time is standard. Why would we want to shift waking hours earlier one hour in relation to natural daylight? https://t.co/MZEWNS6iZE
@AllisonRFloyd St. Patrick's Day was never a day I grew up celebrating, and I've only realized in the last 5 years or so how annoying people in certain parts of the country can be about it. I didn't notice it being a thing when I was in California, but in New York/Long Island, it definitely is
@KendraWrites I’ve seen the same thing in the solar industry. Passion! Grit! You’re not good enough unless you’re working from the minute you wake up to the last minute before you go to bed! It’s really disgusting how manipulative and abusive certain types of organizations believe they can…
@DavidFeng 🤣 “ATM”. the things these guys come up with. Is this a new cryptocurrency I haven’t heard of yet? You’ve heard of dogecoin? Wait till you get your hands on some of this salmoncoin!
Here's the clearest reason why @shaylekann and I were talking about #plastic on the most recent @CatalystPod. Plastic volumes doubling every dozen years with no end in sight. Biggest part is single-use packaging, discarded within months.
