OP, you are in for a seriously rough time if you think containing micro plastics is as simple as removing lead from gasoline and paint.

Folding (or hanging) laundry is about preventing/managing creases. It's also easier to find clothing items (or anything really) when there is order in it.

A (made) bed is a great large flat surface to do this on.

Each lane/road provides a fixed capacity (supply) of vehicles. The induced demand caused by a surplus from a newly constructed road is the economic phenomenon of demand/supply curves which tend towards equilibrium. Same for the desire to build more roads when demand meets or exceeds capacity.

This happens in all areas of transportation and human activity, btw, it is not unique to cars.

The first issue is some wierd expectation that surplus (no traffic) should be the natural state (it isn't). The second issue, specific to cars, is that roads saturate very quickly and scale poorly, so the return to equilibrium (saturation) happens much faster than other forms of transportation.

Including the word "removal", I counted four negatives! Word salad.

It's hollow and thin walled. You'll be picking shards of glass out of your anus before that thing gets deep enough.

Imagine living in a society where we collectively decide some people just get all the privilege to themselves, and the rest of us can just roll around in the mud, and everyone is ok and happy with that.

Those who make peaceful protest impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

Also, the media cheered the killing of terrorists. Get off your hypocritical high fucking horse. Clearly there is a line where killing is deemed acceptable.

Not voting is an act of renouncing your voice and your rights. It's not a protest. It's at best complicity with the status quo, and at worst going to support a candidate that will be far far worse for the issues you are "protesting". You don't get to complain when you don't vote. All you get to do is sit down, shut up, and continue your inaction.

The SCOTUS and other institutions will not save democracy.

This bears repeating. The SCOTUS and other institutions will not save democracy.

Institutions are corruptible. SCOTUS has been corrupted. That is where the US is.

Only citizen action can safeguard democracy.

3rd party app support...

There are many other reasons, but let's be real. A lot of us ditched reddit because they dropped support for third party apps. Having an interface that isn't trying to constantly milk you for all sorts of monetization schemes matters a lot, as it so happens. Enough to say goodbye to a lot of familiar and large communities with otherwise good information.

This wouldn't pass PR review and automated tests, unless they were a senior dev and used elevated privileges to mess with things behind the scenes.

Just yesterday here on Lemmy, I mentioned the dangers of violating privacy, and some commenters went on about "what dangers?" Implying there were none...

Is it not enough to gesture broadly?
