Really? My main reason for still trying to use adblockers instead of NewPipe or another frontend is that every one I've tried is slooooow. Is there a setting I should change or something???

What is "the enshitification face"

I can only imagine horrible things

This is a guess but I would assume the bottling process in water bottling plants, and the manufacture of the disposable water bottles, contributes to the amount of microplastics more than passive decay of plastic. Really my main points/beliefs are:

1. We should be careful making claims based on scientific studies to make sure they are accurate to the study, especially when it comes to claims about how a solution for a problem may be reached. A slight misunderstandings can cause good motivations to make things worse (like people collectively throwing away all their reusable water bottles and buying NEW water bottles made with metal, effectively turning millions of usable waterbottles into trash and creating demand for more polluting industry).

2. Plastic pollution, microplastics, and everything related, is an overproduction industry problem, not an individual responsibility problem. While a concern for ones own health is individual, it's also almost impossible to meaningfully avoid microplastics with the current situation. The responsibility doesn't rest on the shoulder of consumers to collectively make good choices, but on governments to regulate and for owners of industry to be held accountable for the damage they have caused.

That is for bottled sold water, not from water bottles that you refill.

I'm sure using plastic anywhere in any form contributes to microplastics absorbed into ones body, but there is probably a difference? It's just important to be specific what a study says and not accidentally make assumptions.

Also though, I'm gunna keep using my refillable plastic bottle. Trying to manage intake of microplastics based on how much plastic I interact with seems tedious to the point of being impossible. Plastics are the kind of thing that need regulated. And while I might spare myself some microplastics hypothetically, it's not like the water bottle won't break down into microplastics in the dump if I replaced it with a metal bottle.

It reads to me as a response to ones self doubt. So while the phrase "I'm not good enough" might not literally have been said, it is the basic sentiment of self doubt and this post is a rejection of that thought.

I agree quotes for emphasis are bad and occasionally outright terrible, but this doesn't seem quite like that.

I won't call you names but this literally doesn't make any sense to me. In no way would the apple app store be affected, your walled garden is safe. To (attempt to) extend the metaphor, this is like giving you the option to take walks in other gardens, but your walled garden is still where you left it, gate locked.

"This is a systemic problem. Children should have their needs met without the need for work, and this child working is an obvious symptom of the problem at hand."

"Have you ever considered that I, an individual, worked at a mcdonalds at the age of 15? I used the money to buy a video game. Therefore your argument is invalid."

This comment section is fuckin weird.

Did you want me to respond in some way or is this a standalone statement?

Thanks for answering. Idk who downvoted you for answering a question lol

You know, as much as people here say they aren't happy with it, I haven't seen any specific complaints that detail the problems. What bad change does windows 11 even make from windows 10?

Not saying I don't see problems with windows, there are... A lot. But what are the new problems with windows 11?

Edit: to the people downvoting as if you disagree with me: I'm literally asking a question because I don't know much about windows 11. I am not trying to make any kind of statement for or against windows 11, I just don't know what the current flavor of bullshit is and wanted to.

It is. I didn't misunderstand it, I just wanted to comment on it.

This is probably the grossest "um, actually" I've said ever, but I think technically rotting is what eventually gets rid of the covid in your body. A recently deceased person would still "have" covid in them.
