If the companies had to pay per bottle, do you really think they’d still be using single use packaging like that?

They’d install refill stations in stores and sell you a reusable bottle that you can fill up from their metered tap at the refill station.

Companies created the problem of single use packaging; the onus is not on individuals to solve a problem created by companies.

New cars are such fucking garbage.

Uh, what? Are you defending companies stealing gift card money from people because it’s a “weird account on the books”?

If you are against violence and refuse to use it, sooner or later someone will use violence against you, and you will lose because you refuse to fight back.

What is your principle worth when you’ve been beaten to a bloody pulp?

This is what the paradox of tolerance addresses.

People who don’t do any of those actions are not active users. Lurkers are not active by definition.

They shouldn’t be included in the active user count, because they’re not contributing any activity.

Is it possible to create a custom build system by compiling little bits at a time?

For example, you find the opengl code (or whatever gfx lib they’re using), strip it down it only displays a window and doesn’t reference any other gta code. Then it could be compiled without much trouble. Then another small system, say matrix transforms, can be isolated from the original code and integrated with the custom code to get it to compile.

This way you are creating your own build system ad hoc, and you find out what it needs as subsystems are added. Provided the code is decently decoupled and modular, it should be theoretically possible, even if it is still an absurd amount of work.

Or does this sound completely wacky to you?

How much entertainment do you need while driving? Can’t you just plug your phone in for some music?

Do you really need a maps app built into your car when you already have one on your phone?

I just can’t see a reasonable use for an infotainment system that isn’t already taken care of perfectly by the device I already have.

The car experience

The car experience is driving.

We don’t need 6 different fuel efficiency visualizations and we sure as fuck don’t need games or videos in the car.
