And thus the tub was conceived. By someone who was watching people wrangling with cones.
Unfortunately tho, it also suffers the same huge design flaw: hold it upside down, ice cream hits floor. =(

That's my point. I don't understand why you'd undertake performative protests against an idea you can't triumph over. Do you remove your songs from Apple Music because of the Client Side Scanning or Push Notification scandals? Would you remove your songs from Bandcamp because Epic made Fortnite and diminishes the tragedy of real war?
Extrapolated to the extremes of "I don't want megalomaniacs publishing my music" you just end up with nobody ever hearing your songs.
I feel like your chosen examples are very disingenuous. If you're comparing data harvesting/leakage and video games to the atrocities caused by Big Military and the direction it's headed, you must be very disconnected from the real human casualty and suffering.
But to answer your point, yes. People have the autonomy to not do business with individuals and corporations that don't align with their values. It's a personal choice. You may not understand it, but if more people had convictions like this the world would likely be an entirely different place.

> Don't worry, unlivable conditions will force lower standards of living on everyone except the elite.
Thank you, I didn't know that was the real goal of the climate movement. Just one question: How do you intend to force unlivable conditions, which in turn will force lower standards of living? I mean, which is the cause and which the effect if they are at all different?
Also, you have to advertise your goals more aggressively, don't be timid. I imagine the billboards:
"Degrowth is inevitable"
"Fight for unlivable conditions and low standards of living for everyone except the elite".
I think it's great when people argue in bad faith and waste everyone's time.

Yes but those would be often omitting some proper personal shit from their lives. We don't (need to) do such things for gorilla pack leader.
If you properly look around and sometimes go deeper than pleasant very few people are uncritically good people from various angles.
Nor are animals.
selbyk commented on Egg prices are soaring. Are backyard chickens the answer? civileats.com/2025/02/18/... · Posted by u/greenie_beans
If you think you're spending too much on the eggs then you're not perfectly happy. I grew up with chickens and my family also grew up with them. I'm just saying, something is really wrong with the way you're doing it if you think it's not worth the money. There are ways to do it economically. What do you suppose the big farms feed the chickens to make it economical to not only grow the chickens but also package and ship the eggs profitably for all involved, cheaper than you can do it without packaging and shipping and paying middle men?
They didn't say they think they are spending too much.

by the title, I thought this article was saying that the company increased production efficiency through AI, which led to a surplus of staff.
but:
> By freeing up resources, the CEO said he is going to concentrate on “prioritizing innovation investments like AI and platform development, and rigorously evaluating the ROI of others across the board.” He said Workday is also “evolving our processes to empower faster decision-making and to accelerate innovation.”
I thought it meant AI messed up a query.
selbyk commented on You Can't Recycle Bowling Balls – But People Keep Trying (2021) curbed.com/2021/06/recycl... · Posted by u/nafnlj
Do you have examples of people buying bowling balls and not using them to an extent that their behavior raises environmental concerns?
You are arguing against no one. The person you initially replied to explaining RRR obviously isn't talking about RRRing bowling balls specifically. They are explaining the significance of and how to interpret the common way it's taught to reduce unnecessary production and consumption.
