  • How did you just describe the downfall of every hobby I’ve ever tried.

    • I try a hobby
    • I get excited
    • I tell someone about what I’m learning
    • Hobby dies

    I am trying really hard to get back into my practicing hobbies after a hiatus, because I want to get good, but I’m also struggling with the fact that, by the time I’m good, I won’t be able to appreciate it because I’m aware of all the practice I put into it, and it becomes my normal.

    I also struggle with committing years to something.

    Grocery bags were banned. Durable “reusable” plastic bags were mandated and we were expected to re-use those bags and return them to the store. The reality is that we use them just like the old bags and just fork over the extra 10 cents for every visit.

    This article is claiming the exact same thing, replacing the current “re-usable” bags with more durable “re-usable” bags that we will likely now pay 20 cents for and be expected to re-use them at the store.















  • You make a good point about killing for food. I’m against killing animals for food and would rather we switch to lab grown meat. It’s not fair to the animals that were created plump and killed unnaturally for the sake of eating. If it’s a survival situation, that’s different, you do what you can to survive. However, modern society is beyond simple survival, we have the resources and means to eliminate animal meat.

    But then it begs the question “what about plants? They’re alive right?” Also “what about lab meat? Even though they’re not a full animal, it’s still living matter.”

    To both those arguments, I’d say, yes, it’s still not fair to those lifeforms, however it is much more humane to kill lifeforms without a brain, and that only exist to reproduce. Animals have emotions that we can understand. Fear, joy, and content. They are intelligent. Plants and lab meat are not.
