You’re not saying the company shouldn’t exist, you’re saying the person that started the company should immediately be homeless with no money and no possessions.

The rest of the workforce is not one check away from homelessness. Eviction is one of the absolute most difficult things to do to a person. Even not paying your rent for months won’t result in an immediate eviction. And even with eviction you still own everything else. A lawsuit that can take personal possessions can literally strip you of every possession you own.

If you did that you’d destroy every small business in America in a heartbeat. Nobody would do anything that could have any sort of perceived risk because anything you do could result in you losing literally everything in your life, your house, your car, everything you own.

Sure, but it’s half a year away. The holiday was so much more fun when it was a special time of year when you started to see any of it. Christmas decorations weren’t sold until November when I was a kid. There’s zero reason to sell them in August except to ruin the holiday.

Your profile is a year and a half old, you have 1.1k posts. Year is 365 days. 12/3=4. Maybe they did a little bit more but you don’t need much information to get a decent guess.

Yeah usually it’s a question of does this pass the smell test, “every expert and sanitation workers who actually see it firsthand are saying one thing, but we tested it and they’re all wrong!” is like hmmm…
Exactly
I would be wary of things that purport to be plastics recycling, as the two main issues are 1. It’s still cheaper to make new things rather than recycle 2. The recycled plastic is generally less versatile, which is why you’ll see it in things like Frisbees and knick-knacks.
It completely depends on the product. For example aluminum is vastly easier to recycle than to make new. For plastics it depends on the plastic, but there is always a way. For example, trash panda managed to recycle Crocs, which are an expanded foam plastic. It was not recyclable on its own, it wouldn’t melt down into an injection moldeable plastic, but they managed to use it as an aggregate, kinda like concrete. I don’t agree that it’s less versatile. It’s just more work that companies don’t want to do so they say it’s not possible.
Not to say it isn’t something we should be doing when it’s feasible, but it’s sort of like going from ICE cars to electric cars, where we’re putting a band-aid on the problem instead of switching to something that isn’t as destructive.
The thing is, plastic isn’t going anywhere. It’s embedded into every part of our lives, both bad uses and good uses. We need to find a way to stop making more of it. It’s wild that we bury so much trash instead of trying to recover it.
- Comment on Why are so many new programming languages being developed? 1 month ago:
Languages have always been popping up. I’m guessing since you didn’t spend that much time in the community the first time you were learning programming you just hadn’t noticed. In any case it’s like any product on the market. People refine them and make and sell new ones.

Thanks lol. People being wrong on the internet sucks, but people deliberately spreading misinformation that all experts agree is misinformation is infuriating to me. Just cause some fucking YouTuber said something doesn’t make it true. I’ve stopped watching so many YouTubers because of the bullshit like they make up.
On a topic similar to this though, is plastics recycling, which experts agree that plastics manufacturing hid how difficult it was to recycle for years. But experts say it’s infeasible, while there are companies like Trash Panda disc golf recycling things into disc golf discs hundreds of times. So really the moral is, think critically.

- Comment on Microsoft Teams status 1 month ago:
A USB stick reports itself as a USB stick. A device you set up to report itself as what you want reports itself as what you want. The only thing a computer can talk about a device is what the device reports itself. That’s how computers and peripherals work. The computer provides power and the peripheral tells the computer about itself.
So if you make a device that reports the exact same information as your other mice then yeah the computer thinks it’s the same mouse. But it’s not usable as a USB then. It can’t do other stuff.
Yes your friend plugging in a USB will get them in trouble, cause they can exfiltrate data.
