This is almost always the case. If it’s biodegradable at room temperature and pressure, it’ll be degrading once you get it.

We’re probably best off converting most of our things into industrially biodegradable products, and then having our waste go to composting plants instead of landfills.

Well I’d certainly say they dodged a bullet

And people lost the distinction between tabloid and journalism, so when journalism now requests money to keep going, it gets scoffed at.

This is an inherent problem with the concept of free information. I would love universal and free information, but that doesn’t take into consideration that quality information requires labor. Wikipedia isn’t free of that either, the labor is just largely unpaid.

At the end of the day, we need to pay journalists, editors, curators, and contributors. If you want quality news, you need quality people. And to get quality people, you need generous compensation, whether that comes from subscriptions, advertisements, or taxes.

I question a lot of the choices they’ve made in the opinion section, and which letters from politicians to publish, but it can’t be understated that OP/EDs are totally separate from everything else.

This is a fairly good bellwether to see who’s progressive and who’s a champagne socialist.

The ones who have that position because they provided capital or such really have nothing left to offer. And I bet that actually really bothers these venture capitalists. They have no use other than their money. When they try to show that they do, they prove that they don’t.

Unfortunately, they also repel free users from using the platform entirely, and at a much higher ratio.

This is really, really bad for Twitter. The whole reason so many groups and people use it for official communications and announcements is because their audience can easily and freely see it. Rate limiting and requiring an account completely destroy that. And without it, Twitter really doesn’t have much to offer.

Plus this goes directly against advertising lol
