Well, I still choose to see a silver lining in al this. If consumers begin to favor products with that label, it might encourage plastic manufacturers to increase the percentage of recycled feed. If that happens, recycling plants will face increased demand, which warrants increased production. It could be a good start.

The thing is, the plastic industry clearly doesn’t want that ratio to increase. If they get their way, that ratio will remain very low, and plastic recycling will be little more than elaborate green washing.

Yeah, that’s a real problem. All the really interesting special communities get like 1 post a week at most.

Skip the “all” feed. It’s not interesting to me either, even though I’m familiar with distros and such. I just read the “subscribed” where I’ll find stuff I care about.

Nah. What’s done is done. Hard lessons, but those are the ones I remember.

But let’s imagine I could send a message to an alternate timeline version of past me. I have some ideas.

Don’t hang out with the people on this list. Learn about mental illnesses such as narcissism, bipolar disorder, paranoia, depression, and psychosis. Read a bit about conspiratorial thinking too.

Equipped with this info, you no longer need that list of names. You can notice when it is the time to leave a particular crowd. Now that you didn’t learn things the hard way, you avoided some hardship and trouble.
