“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.”
— Anne-Marie Bonneau
I read a post about doing zero waste (imperfectly) by @InvaderXan and started reading up on it.
One big improvement for me would be cat litter. Right now we do clay litter that comes in a plastic bucket. We put it in a 30-40gal storage bin (no liner), scoop used and top off as needed. Does anyone have suggestions on brands with A) better packaging and B) better substrate that would allow a similar setup?
Boosts appreciated.
Mindfullness exercise: open your hearing 360 degrees and listen to what's happening around you.
@ 240deg: gf exclaims "Damn that's good coffee!"
@ 300deg sweeping to 60deg: rumble of snow plow passing
@ 135deg: whoosh of air as furnace fan kicks in
Summary: someone gets to internet in the relative warmth of the house while I'm out shoveling. Thanks for rubbing that in, #mindfullness exercise. 😅😂

Pretty offensive to suggest that billionaires and corporations give politicians money because they expect something in return. Those groups famously love pissing money away for no reason

A recently released report from the Center For American Progress shows that Black students are suffering more than almost any other demographic in the United States when it comes to student loans, particularly those who have taken out loans for graduate school.

Capitalist workplaces are top-down authoritarian enterprises where the Working Class, approx. 80% of workers, have little to no say in any decisions.
This creates an environment of alienation, where workers are disengaged & cognitively uninvested. 5/33

Fediverse, you've been holding out on me! I had no idea it was possible to view twitter without logging in over at nitter.net
Does anyone have a preference between a browser add-on redirect like [Invidition](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/invidition/) or a user space level program like [NitterizeMe](https://framagit.org/tom79/nitterizeme)?

telling people they can set up cross-posting from twitter is bad because a lot of them wind up back using only twitter and just leave essentially a bot presence here shitting up timelines, change my mind

Did #Yang give up? Talk about one of those 100 policies, not just UBI. #Steyer came out strong and demanded some time.
Over on #TYT Cenk mentioned #Warren might be ceding time to avoid talking healthcare since her stance change.
I'm also surprised to see #Biden had so much time.
#NPR forgot to give #Bloomberg time for the moderators taking it upon themselves to act as his surrogate.
Hey guys! I figured out why ppl like #MayorPete he uses the same mad libs book as Deepak Chopra. #DemDebate

#Klobuchar spends a lot of time on anecdotes when she should be explaining her policy stance. Why is she running? All I hear her say is what she's not and what she's not going to do. #DemDebate
I like that #Yang talks in economic terms. "The market is deciding our worth."
What he misses the the market failures that the government is supposed to correct. That's why Trump needs to be defeated. Deregulating businesses and letting their negative externalities be the public burden isn't acceptable.
Wtf are the moderators talking about Bloomberg? Center bias? He didn't make numbers he doesn't get a seat, remember when it was #Yang edged out of the Jan debate the answer was pollsters need to poll more. #DemDebate

Do we have free will? #Spinoza says that we just don't understand true causes. Have you ever had the same reaction to the same situation?
See the Campbell story in this RadioLab:

Check out act 2 of This American Life 662 (though the whole episode is worth a listen):
https://www.thisamericanlife.org/662/where-there-is-a-will
Quite possibly my favourite thought out of this: if there's no free will how should the justice system work?
