I feel like this is a whoosh. The environmental impact of our collective straw use is so insignificant compared to the effects of so many other things. The fact that people focus on straws is just evidence that the average person has no idea what to do, in order to decrease their environmental impact and will also complain about the mildest of inconveniences.

At this point, I fully believe the conspiracy theory that Elon Musk is just a scapegoat/shill who is intentinally destroying twitter because it was a good tool for people to organize against companies and governments.

That's disappointing to hear. Even the stable branch is problematic?

Who knew software development involved so much anal sex?

Mint has been such a smooth experience for me, as well! I'm glad that Linux gaming is improving, as its one of the few things keeping me using windows. Manjaro is supposedly very beginner friendly, as well.

Sardomackerechism is the giving and receiving of pleasure involving the receipt or infliction of a hook in the mouth.

My point was that it doesn't need to be aerodynamic, because it won't be going fast. I'm sure it is still capable of going fast, and that some bus routes go on the highway, but if the designers expected that to be happening with any regularity, they would have designed it with that in mind. Most busses are not aerodynamic because its not necessary. Busses are generally slow.

My commute to work is literally 15 minutes by car or 60 minutes by bus. Traffic is rarely a significant factor for me. It may sometimes add as much as 5 minutes to my travel time.

Would there be significant benefits if everyone used public transportation? Yes. Do I want to spend an extra 90 minutes commuting every day? Not even a little bit.

Accept the recursion. Accept it so hard. So hard. So hard. So hard. (I don't know how to do that thing where the text gets smaller) So hard. So hard. So hard.

Whether or not any of this bullshit is true, I'm just glad that there's growing distain for billionaires.

I love how much hate this reply got. Yes, its over the top and unrealistic, but the point is that private cars are extremely convenient while public transportation isn't. Yes, private cars are very bad for the environment. So is pretty much all modern human industry.

Stop having kids, if you're so concerned about the environment. Your stupid butthole babies and their progeny will cause more environmental harm than any of your personal lifestyle choices.

I agree that personal muscle cars are a "go fuck yourself" to the climate, but look at that bus. It doesn't look fast because it has no reason to be aerodynamic. That thing is either stopped or going like 30 mph a majority of the time. If driving takes you 15 minutes but taking the bus takes you an hour, those with enough money will trade it to get that time back.

Agreed. Ideally, the executioner should be acting entitled, or maybe mildly indignant if the "no tip" option is selected.
