  • I wish my existence could just be me existing.

    Instead, I have to advocate for my existence in front of people who look down on me and have to rely on the understanding and kindness of strangers and the zeitgeist to make me be safe.

    I’m barely allowed to marry who I love, and many people still reject “marriage” as a concept for people like me. I was once chased by someone with a knife for holding a loved one’s hand.

    People fought tooth and nail for us to be recognized. Many are still forced to do so. Sure, take the fucking rainbow. Take it for granted, just like you do with everything else.

    You have decade old articles handy, one of which requires a login to read and the second one also states that planes are less efficient than trains…?

    Btw. the word “train” is mentioned two times in total on that last one. The bulk of the article is about planes vs. cars.

    “What’s up with the wax by the slow cooker?”

    “Well, I’ve read about 10 papers on high performance cycling and have concluded, that hot waxing my chain may save about half a watt.”

    “When did you last ride it?”

    “Also a good question, indeed.”

    I’m too lazy to look up the numbers, but I think the premise of this argument is rather weak.

    Money spend on social welfare, vastly improves poor people’s lives. When you spend it on corporate welfare, the money tends to go into the pockets of people who are already pretty comfortable.

    This is a simplification of a multifaceted issue, but by and large I think this holds a lot more water than just comparing numbers.

    Also: There was a pandemic in the time period given, so there might be some selection bias.


  • HDPE can be recycled (as many thermoplastics can) but once it’s in a matrix of other stuff (say calcium) it get’s really difficult to do so. Also HDPE is not biodegradable. It can break up into microplastic, but I wouldn’t call that exactly enviromentally friendly. Maybe if there are some added enzymes or something…

    But you can just use unbleached, recycled paper. Paper is easy to recycle, doen’t require a lot of chemicals (unless you bleach it) and is already one of the most recycled resources.
