How bored do you have to be to complain about "woke bottle caps"?

    They love shit like this because it's tangible, everything else they worry about is either statistically insignificant to the point most people will never see it or completely fabricated so the best they have is bottle caps.

    Every time someone complains about bottle caps I think two things: they never saw how much small plastic pieces contaminate environment where people spend time relaxing and not taking the garbage where it belongs; they have really weird priorities in life.

    I had to look up what a woke bottlecap is. The cap is attached to the bottle. That's it.

    If the personal highlight of your party’s conference is a bottle top… perhaps you should look for a more interesting party. Or leave politics.

    Anyone who's ever picked up trash on a beach before knows how many goddamed bottle caps there are. And bottles without a cap for that matter. Those two stacks could combine to form a single stack with half the items. Half of the stuff to pick up. And picking up bottles is much easier than picking up a cap. Wildlife are less likely to mistake it for something eatable as well.

    Yes I agree the caps can be a little inconvenient, but that's well worth the practical end result in my book. There will always be assholes that pull of the cap. And bigger assholes still who throw their shit into nature instead of properly recycling or disposing it. But a large amount of people are trying to make our world a little bit better, or at least prevent it from going to shit as fast as it is.

    These days people are so selfish and spoiled, even a tiny inconvenience is enough to make them behave like little children. It's sad really.

    I made the mistake once of buying a string of C7-sized Christmas lights to put up on my house one year. Turns out squirrels around my house thought they were acorns or something, and literally chewed the bulb assemblies off the wire. They weren't even up for a week before I had to take them down and trash them. Now I have rope-style and mini-icicle lights that the wildlife seem content to ignore.

    People still bitching about the bottle caps? If it pisses them off so much, it barely takes any effort to pull the things loose.

    They could just...not use plastic water bottles. Those are pretty woke overall since real men get their water from the blood of animals they consume.

    People who are easily bothered are a gold mine for propagandists.

    It's the insecure who are easy targets for the manipulative psychos. That's why cults tend to target who are in emotionally vulnerable state.

    How is that a win? Have we already cured cancer and poverty that having a bottle without a cap is a win?!!!

    Have we already cured cancer and poverty

    For the "conservative" cancer and poverty have already been cured. "They're probably bad people who deserve to suffer, so it's not my problem." There, cured.

    Literally anything to keep us divided and ignoring the billionaires as they rape every one of us from behind.

    TIL tethered bottle caps are a thing. I mean, I've encountered them before - but I used to think they're malfunctions.

    Shes needs to get an update on her manicure instead of talking about bottle caps.
