That seems kinda too idealistic view of the world.
I know much more people who, if not directly forced, would let the dishes or basically any environment around them completely mould and break down before even considering cleaning up even just the mess they have left behind, than people who altruistically do clean up after themselves and others.I do agree that living in a cleaner and nicer society should be enough of a motivation and for some it is, but there’s not enough of us.
We can already observe it in many public spaces where trash gets left laying around even if trash cans are available or public bathrooms or showers or my favorite example in the gym where plates get constantly left on the machines and cable attachments just piled up wherever those fell.

Some yeah, but undoubtedly not enough to keep it working. For example i doubt that many people enjoy working at garbage disposable or basically any waste disposal. Of course these jobs should be fully operated by machines. Or any assistant jobs in manufacturing or jobs that operate in shifts.

Society would collapse.
While working out of enjoyment instead of necessity is a noble and good goal. There are jobs that no one enjoys. Money can be used as an incentive to motivate people to work on jobs that aren’t that enjoyable, but still necessary. - Comment on Get Your Freak On 2 days ago:

It’s not the printers themselves that are evil. They were just made this way by their overlords.

Good point, but wrong conclusion. Yeah, me selling crack wouldn’t change anything on a world wide scale, but it would change things for the worse inside my sphere of influence. The only thing person can have a little and albeit a very limited effect on.
So person shouldn’t sell crack out of simple selfish desire to not feel bad(guilt/cleaner conscious), the crackhead will likely just go to another dealer, not in the vain hope of having any actual effect on the wider world

And i never said doing something good isn’t worth it. Even in first reply i said best one can do is to just help people close to them, inside their sphere of influence.
Just that it’s really really unlikely to have any meaningful effect on world wide scale, even after our deaths.
There’s no point to hope to change the world, not that theres no point to help others. - Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 6 days ago:
And how much of an effect beyond self satisfaction that has? It will more likely disproportionately effect people close to you/reliant on you than have any effect on the machine.

This is the delusion im talking about. It’s completely baffling to me how people can take something that has a 99,99% failure rate and assume they’re the 0,01% and that’s not limited to politics. People constantly do it with every single aspect of life.
You’re using a survivorship bias and seeing only the ones that succeeded and ignoring all the ones that failed or didn’t even get off the ground to be heard of.
I’m fairly sure not a single one of those were started by a single individual either. These were all started by groups of like minded individuals and I’m not even in a country where there are enough people to get started with any movement.
I’m not sticking my head in the sand. I’m just not delusional to assume there’s a realistic possibility to affdct any change even if I’d were to dedicate rest of my life to it. I don’t assume I’m special.
We’re all just cogs in the machine. Yeah sure we can somewhat change in which part of the machine we are and have a cleaner conscious, but it will not stop the machine.

Well yeah. Like what else am i supposed to do? Why people online always have this delusion of grandeur that they have any power to change world wide politics? We are all completely meaningless cogs in the machine.
I still need food, clothes, shelter, warmth. To get those i need to either do it all myself like back in mediveal times, which is rather time, energy consuming/inefficient and unstable or exchange it with universal currency.
To get universal i need to exchange my time and skills for it aka work.I’m not someone special, i cant change the world, i cant even get the snowball effect starting. I, as a single individual am completely meaningless in world scale politics. Best i can do is just adapt to changing circumstances and surive, maybe even help a people close to me/within my sphere of influence.
So yeah, i keep working like normal.

I cant speak on that, haven’t done any deeper research in that matter, just the original funny fact got lodged in my brain and not like I’m ever going to test it out myself.

Can’t argue against that spending. I’d do the same if i wouldn’t have gotten too comfortable with piracy back in teenage years.

There was a kinda odd mistake with the Xenomorph AI in this game. There was a typo in the .ini file.

It stopped being fast years ago, precovid even. Pretty much as soon as delivery services became popular as those got higher priority than people being in the restaurant, the waiting times become equal to an actual restaurant.
Last drop for in restaurant was 45 minutes of waiting.Price rose somewhere in between there and now as well and by now even delivery isn’t fast.
Last drop with delivering was about a year ago, it was still kinda last minute quick back up option when coming from somewhere late in the evening and being rather tired to cook as i could order while I still on the road towards home.
It still took about an hour to arrive, most of the time was in cooking.
I could have reached home and still easily cooked something up at home and it would have been faster.By now MCD is as expensive and slower than an actual restaurant with every possible way of ordering. So i don’t even consider this as an option when out with the family.

Just for clarification, i don’t really care about fashion, i prefer comfort and efficiency and bulk buying oversized t-shirts and sweatpants, shorts for summer, seem to be the absolute best for that purpose.
But, we do have the entire world at our fingertips. No need to be limited to whatever your local store offers.
