Every time I hear someone complain about a single tiny piece of plastic on the ground or someone uses slightly more than needed cling wrap, all I can think of is the couple of warehouses I used to work in a couple jobs ago.

Everything comes on pallets wrapped in about a dozen layers of cling wrap. 8-10ft tall pallets.

Every box gets opened, the items pulled out of a large plastic bag, each item wrapped in its own plastic bag.

Those items get put in other boxes, stacked on a different pallet, and wrapped in another dozen layers of plastic wrap.

The pallets get moved to a temporary spot for a few hours, then someone comes up and curs all the wrap off. Moves the boxes onto 4 other pallets, and each of those goes to a separate forklift driver who puts them on shelves.

When the item leaves, it's placed in plastic bags, then a box, then goes on a pallet that gers wrapped in a dozen layers of plastic wrap. Onto the truck for shipping elsewhere.

They have a truck that comes twice a day to replace a shipping container filled with plastic.

So much plastic, every day, all day, they only close for Christmas and 4th of July.

Am I still going to use anything but plastic wherever possible? Sure. Am I still going to pick up that piece of plastic and put it in the recycling bin? Absolutely.

Companies suck and will blame you for their shitty treatment just like every abuser does.

I follow the proud American tradition my grandfather had of fighting fascism.

If the government of the states decides to be fascist, well...

YOU'RE STEALING OUR TRASH! REEEEEEEEE!

If you clip a healthy plant without asking the owner first, you're a dick. But if I see you do it at a store, no I didn't. Cause the store made $2,550,000 while I was typing this.

Important to note: 3D PRINTED FIREARMS DO NOT BREAK WITH A FEW USES

Firsthand knowledge.

200-250 rounds and still going strong, inspected before and after firing every time

No damage so far.

Beyond that point, I agree with everything posted.

This implies it's falling on its own.

There should be a mass of red hats trying to push it over.

It's gonna be peak face-eating season during holidays when my parents go to retire during this presidency but find out that they can't because social security doesn't exist anymore, 75% of their paycheck goes to either the military budget or kings tribute tax, and everything has doubled in price.

In my 30s, and while I've heard "let's 86 the _____" numerous times, I honestly wouldn't have connected that to "86 cherries" on an order.

I've worked in food, fast and fancy, and nobody would say "86 cherries" instead of "no cherries". Clarity is conducive to a smoothly flowing kitchen.

I was today years old when I realized that she was talking to Homer Hickam, and I've seen the movie October Sky more times than I can count.

Nationalist Christians?

Hmm.... We should come up with a word for that.

How about Nat-Cs?
