Well David Lammy is apparently spokesperson for the world, so Lemmy is still included

Also not Finnish, but the first time I used the sauna in that I came back from the shop to my house being burnt to the ground.

Apart from that minor detail the game does lead me to believe I’m spiritually Finnish.

It’s totally understandable why people do this, but my advice would be stick to small mods.

As soon as an add on is large enough to be a DLC, or even its own game, big companies are 100% coming after it. Especially if it is a popular game and it gets in all the gaming press like this.

I was under the impression it was meant to be Vice City. They’re just not very friendly to modding in general.

Paywall, so I can’t see the others, but the one on the thumbnail isn’t that different to the N-Gage

Or, you know, someone in need nearby. There are homeless people eating out of garbage and families using food banks everywhere. But then you’d also look like an asshole for just giving them a bunch of crusts instead of a whole slice.

How about just not buying more food than you can eat? Or save a couple of slices for the next day? Or give someone else a slice before you fill up on the inner circle of your plate of food?

5% worldwide? It absolutely matters where you live. Look at progressive countries and you will see that it is not that low a percentage when people actually make an effort: https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/environment/waste/waste-packaging/pong/tables-and-graphs/recycling-targets/

None of this knowledge is a reason to not use recycling when it is available. When you have a waste bin and a recycling bin and just put plastics in the waste, that’s a douche move.

Welcome to earth. Here outside the US there are countries that recycle up to 35% of plastic waste and intend to recycle more through regulations on types of plastic used and improvements in processes. https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subject-area/environment/waste/waste-packaging/pong/tables-and-graphs/recycling-targets/

It’s not dwindling, it’s not dismal and it’s certainly not pointless.

To bring it back: choosing to not recycle your plastic because you think only 5% of it will get recycled is indeed as stupid as throwing away your pizza crusts and thinking it doesn’t contribute to food wastage.

Theres got to be a good Old World mixing with New World name. There’s plenty of Mexican-Italian links and Mexican-Portuguese links, but I don’t have it in me to link all three origins of the main ingredients.

Right. As I said (whether or not they have interest) the fix for usage, production and sorting is on them. Much like if you have plastics recycling available, it is absolutely on you to use it.

Plastic is a finite resource that is not going to disappear from global usage any time soon. Just throwing your hands up and saying “only x% actually gets recycled” or “where I live they don’t do it well” is just adding to the existing problem.

Just fucking recycle.

Phil, did you smuggle in a bum phone?

Oh I don’t doubt it. Gas stoves are pretty common in the UK and much quicker at getting up to heat than most electric. However, the last 10 or so places I’ve lived around Eurooe haven’t even had gas connections, so I’m not sure its that common over here.

Just imagine if all of these billionaires were actually paying tax instead of pumping hundreds of millions into political parties.

It’s usually the case that those who cry “free speech” are talking about being allowed to say shitty things without other people correcting them with truths.

Being a propagandist pays

True, the best way to portion control any meal is to put 120% of your portion on a plate and eat the middle out of it until you get to 100%.

Yes there is a problem with more disposable, non-recyclable plastics being used. Of course that’s on industry to fix. That does not mean plastic recycling is pointless. If you’re in the privileged position to literally have a bin specifically for that, recyclable plastics will be filtered out and recycled. If you have that and they don’t, that’s on your municipality to fix. Deciding to not bother with the process which is right there in front of you because you read it’s “not 100%” is super dumb.

That very much depends on where you live. Deciding to not recycle because you think it doesn’t get done properly in your locality is just as dumb as not recycling because you think industry is a bigger polluter.

I understand that climate change isn’t being entirely caused by you not recycling properly, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a shitty move to just say fuck it and not even bother trying.

This opinion is a similar vein as “there’s no point recycling plastic because most plastic waste is caused by industry”. We are all grains of sand on this earth. And in turn we are all full of microplastics.
