But if you're in a position to donate to them, you still should. Their funding has been cut.

Truth. I’m happy in the library because I don’t have spend to have joy.

In my country, once you are an adult you have to pay a fee to check out books 😢

US libraries willl need you more than ever now. One of Project 2025's recommendations is to require public librarians to register as sex offenders. And we could be arrested if we attend library conventions. My library is next door to a school. Our entire staff would be fired.

Pete Seeger is a good human.

Amen!

This is the one example of a corporation doing something that technically benefits people in addition to their shareholders and customers.

We should feed the Kardashians to the poor...

Go back to a simple cotton sheet to wrap the body. I mean...does it really matter what you're buried in? Dig a hole, chuck me in and backfill it. Go to the pub and have a whiskey for me. Job done.

When you need a truck, but don't have 'inadequate downstairs issues'.

This is called socialism. "If you give the most help to those who need the most help, you improve the situation for everyone."

This is awesome, I've got to try this.

Brilliant!

Slay!!!

What I think put into words for me!! Fantastic!

Vaping is stupid and this is super stupid. This must be a bad joke or a nightmare.

There will come a point where the impoverished will no longer have money to buy from the rich, and the whole thing will just collapse. I'd hope that the issues will get solved before it comes to that, but looking at the world's current state...

"Should This Be Implemented Throughout The World?" You mean offering paying jobs to homeless people to help them get back on their feet? I realize picking up garbage isn't a dream job for most, but it's a start to get them food, a place to stay and be able to look at other jobs that won't see them as "homeless" but as actual "potential employees"

Cute is better

Our city has a paint place like that. Usually enough for a landlord to paint a house purple with green trim. and another one yellow with orange trim.

We had a couple of decades to fix the crisis in the 70's. (Thanks Reagan /s) A decade or so to mitigate the crisis in the 90's or not hit any tipping points. Now we have a 'decade' to keep the crisis from becoming 'too bad'

You can also use it as a regular candle should you ever need one.

Coca Cola tastes nicer from a glass bottle than from a plastic one.

bless the people who spent their time cleaning it up

I've got.....$1?

How is this something "wrong with the world"? That's a good idea.

Quite normal in Europe

Good on her 😊

Ocean Cleanup has found the fishing industry is way more at fault than plastic bottles.

There are valid reasons for dumpster diving. But as a society, we are trained to think it's 'gross'. Just thoroughly wash after. 🤷‍♂️

BuT bUt! iT nEeDs to BE AESTHETIC/s

Okay now this infuriates me.

They are hanging on because new cars expect you to have an I.T. degree to operate them and sell subscriptions for every ridiculous add on.

"But... In the meantime, in between time, ain't we got fun?..."

Not anymore. Now it's like this every week for whatever sale they're having that week.

"And what good does it do you to own the stars?" "It does me the good of making me rich." "And what good does it do you to be rich?" "It makes it possible for me to buy more stars, if any are discovered." - Antoine de Saint Éxupery, The little prince

I absolutely hate wasting food.

Aside from being even more wasteful than the already egregious disposable vape, this thing is clearly aimed at children (and others whose brain hasn't developed past a certain point) and is designed to try to make vaping even more addictive. Vaping products should be legally required to be boring and uncool. They're already d***s. We don't need to make them more exciting.

The natural lifespan of chickens is about 7 years, but some chickens have been known to live up to 15 years. On production farms, chickens are killed when their productivity declines, i.e. at about 1.5 years of age.

I did this with beer growlers for a while. It's a fun, sustainable way to get craft beer, but then most places would not fill a growler if it wasn't their own, URG!!

Ah yes, the old "I have an opinion but not a clue whatsoever"

Looking at this sign reminds me that not only do I not need this stuff, I don't want it either.

No thanks, I don't want to share a city bus with 23 cars.

Nice, we went from seeing cig buts everywhere to vapes everywhere.

In some cases wouldn't that trap the ethylene making it go bad faster.

The good plastic bags are still better than the single use (and the not even an entire single use, break immediately, completely useless) bags that can't be reused. Even if it's technically identical to the disposable bag, if people are actually using it multiple times, it makes a difference.

I would be embarrassed to own one of these now. After watching those videos of people jumping over the counter at Starbucks to steal one and pushing people over to grab one on sale. No thanks. I feel like your life lacks meaning if you need to do this. And for what ? How low is your self esteem that you need to show some random product as a win.

In plastic bags though - shame! (I believe I'm legally obliged to put /s at the end of the comment) /s

I hate companies that do this. You open it up and it is just dead air under the photo.

That's the building of those a******s who recently had the wedding for several hundred million.

What we all need to understand is that we DON'T have to buy what they advertise (looking at you, BP). Nobody holds a gun to our heads and forces us to buy all the junk that's pushed on us. Don't buy anything in an ad. Make them spend the money for nothing. Actually, by putting out more and more ads, they're achieving exactly the opposite of what they want - we're learning to totally ignore what's being shoved into our faces morning, noon, and night. Ask yourself this: when was the last time you actually looked at BP's big pop-up ad before Xing it out? I've deleted two of them by now and I couldn't even tell you what they were. And that's the way it should be. If you get in my face, make it an annoyance to be on your site, then don't blame me if I'm going to ignore those annoyances. If you make the ads more annoying and less avoidable, then don't be surprised if I leave your site entirely.
