foaming at the mouth over the snapple switch from glass bottles because i recently looked closer at their new (flimsy, plastic) bottles and they are advertising them as """""""eco-friendly""""""" and made of recycled materials

i know i dont have to explain this to anyone here but plastics recycling is a FUCKING SCAM and its FUCKING EVIL that they pushed the narrative that even 10% of all plastic goods can be recycled (newsflash, they cant) to get us to accept inferior quality cheaper products in cheaper packaging just so oil companies could get just a little more use out of their petroleum.

YOU KNOW WHATS NOT RECYCLABLE? MOST PLASTIC!! Plastic, when recycled, at best becomes an inferior quality gimmick product that only sells based on the fact that its made of recycled materials. It requires extra resources to make, as the plastics need heavy processing to get into a "reusable" state, not to mention the extra cost and emissions caused by all the extra sorting and transport required to get it from the consumer to the recycler. (this is also somewhat true of paper recycling but paper is not an unmitigated ecological disaster so it gets a pass for now)

YOU KNOW WHAT IS RECYCLABLE? FUCKING GLASS AND METAL, BUT WE GAVE IT UP!! WE GAVE IT UP JUST SO WE COULD HAVE MICROPLASTICS IN OUR FUCKING BRAINS AND DISPOSABLE BOTTLES! WE COULD STILL BE GETTING WHITMAN SAMPLERS IN TINS AND HAVING ALL OUR BEVERAGES STORED IN GLASS BUT I GUESS SOMEHOW HAVING MATERIALS THAT ARE ACTUALLY REUSABLE IS JUST NOT AS ECOFRIENDLY AS FILLING LANDFILLS TO THE BRIM WITH THE 90% OF CHEAP PLASTIC CRAP THAT CAN'T BE RECYCLED AND MAKING INFERIOR QUALITY RECYCLED PLASTIC CRAP WITH THE OTHER 10%

BUT, there’s also Reverse Polarity SMA, where the pin is the same polarity as the threads. Surely the polarity naming switches back as well, right?

WRONG, it still follows the backwards convention of SMA, so now it’s wrong both ways!

This is male RP-SMA. What were they smoking?

@Hyolobrika @11112011 yea I am not a nazi, and I don't support Russia, but I also think the west has provoked the current problems Ukraine is now facing, and I think there is a lot of inconsistency around when nazis are a good thing.

I also think that from where I sit the reporting on the conflict seems more objective from Russia than what they're propagating in the west.

@niclas and mainstream media is the great blender for opinions. ecologists ideas thrown into the blender together with neocons lead to battery electric cars being viewed as something good for the environment. the socialist idea of free healthcare thrown into the blender with capitalism leads to the ultra inefficitent german system of ~300 insurances to pick your forced membership.
the blender leads to boring societies optimized for being mediocre. i think it is popular because it's efficient in providing basic necessities, it falls flat onto the face for anything else.

@niclas for me it feels like the great homogenisator. everything is bland and boring and optimized for profits. e.g. multi-culture societies only work if everyone dilutes their culture so that it is acceptable for the others - at least the public facing elements.

hot take: the idea of "mainstream media" and "mainstream" in general being a good thing is fundamentally flawed.
