Just because it’s a big company doesn’t mean it isn’t a scam. Just look at how big some MLMs get.

American here and still, WTF‽

I mean, I’d probably seperate them too while using the bottle just because it seems annoying to use a bottle with the cap still on it. But I’d still be putting the cap back on the bottle before I toss it anyways because doing anything else would be more work. Its basically just reflex to put the cap back on the bottle as soon as I’m done drinking from it to prevent spils if there’s still something in it or just so I’m not also carying a cap around if it’s empty.

Oh, I agree. I’ve seen the reports and the benefit the change has had. The part I just don’t get is why the stray bottle caps were a thing to begin with. What causes someone to throw out a bottle seperate from the cap? That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me.

Do you think we don’t do that in the US? The only thing that stands as different in this pic from the downtown area near me is all the cigarettes and stucco.

I’ve hade one of the ridge titanium card wallets for the better part of a decade now. I thought the elastic would have worn out by now but it still isn’t showing any signs of wear.

Ok, I get the whole waste argument for these, but they’re very annoying and who was just tossing the caps on their own in the first place? Isn’t the whole point of buying a bottle to have a resealable container? If you’re just going to huck the cap then why not just buy a can?

I don’t think I’ve ever thrown away a cap seperately from the bottle and it isn’t because of any environmental concern. If the bottle is empty then I don’t want to carry around 2 pieces of trash so the cap goes back on the bottle. If the bottle still has something in it then I don’t want to spill it so the cap goes back on the bottle. There is no situation I can think of where it wouldn’t be more inconvenient to throw them away seperately.

I get that there was a problem with the caps but I still don’t understand how that problem occured without people actively going out of their way to cause it.

What am I not comprehending?

If they don’t have a job then how are they going to have money?

How does someone have a vibrant diverse social life with no money?

Part of the whole multipurpose craze is also just that few people can afford to own multiple vehicles anymore. My dad owns a little hatchback for a daily driver and a fuckoff big pickup for when hauling needs to be done but he can only do that because he knows enough about vehicles to buy and fix cheap old piles of crap and keep them going. The average person doesn’t know how to do that so they need to buy newer vehicles and those vehicles are heniously expensive now so buying one daily driver is enough of a struggle let alone buying a seperate work vehicle. If they need to both take the kids to soccer practice and haul things then I can see how someone might think a suburbitank is a good idea.

But like you said, there are also a lot of people who own these massive trucks but don’t need them. If the paint on the truck is unblemished or there isn’t a spot of dirt on it then that driver can go fuck themselves because clearly the only utility that vehicle is serving is as an ego prosthetic. Real working vehicles get beat up. Seeing a clean spotless truck is like seeing a mechanic without a spot of dirt on them; they both clearly aren’t working.

You can still find the old mazda b-series pickups or ford rangers (they’re the same truck) around ocasionally. They’re the perfect size for an all in one vehicle. You get the utility of a truck without having to own multiple vehicles or daily drive a land barge. Sure, you won’t be hauling farm equipment with one but they’re the perfect size for moving furniture, hauling materials for light to moderate construction work, or trailering a normal sized fishing boat. Hell, if you don’t care about the truck you can do even more than that. I once hauled an entire pallet of landscaping blocks in the bed of my 90s B2200. Probably around a ton of blocks. Sure it bottomed out the suspension but I used back roads, took the drive home slow, and got home without any issue. You could get all that utility in basically the same wheelbase as a modern car.

Haven’t used amazon or walmart in years. Still ocasionally go to target though because I have to shop somewhere.

Her losing was due to the fact that she was the rightmost candidate the DNC could find in their ranks. People keep saying that Hillary and Kamala lost because they were women. How about we try running women who are at least slightly left of Regan before we say the problem is just that people are sexist.

This used to be a thing. My dad always talks about going to the local scrap yard and picking usable car parts out of scrap metal piles for scrap prices back in the day. I do some refrigerant reclaiming for my local scrap yard so I talk to the guys there a fair bit. From what Ive heard the reason you can’t dig through the piles anymore anywhere isn’t because of the loss in profit (because they would make you pay for it anyways) it’s because of liability and people making a mess. Scrap yards are dangerous places, if you got injured there then they would be on the hook legally speaking. Also when people would dig through the piles they would often throw shit everywhere leading to a large amount of extra cleanup. If it wasn’t for those two issues, I know my local scrap yard would love to go back to being able to sell some scrap locally.

How dare they indoctrinate my children with this heterosexual filth!

Ball Peen and Dead Blow are my EDC hammers but I also usually keep a good ol claw hammer near by just in case.
