Dan Olson is making some of the best anti-bullshit journalism out there right now, he and Coffeezilla are doing similarly great stuff in very different ways.

My girlfriend can't screw them back on properly so right now she only uses each drinks bottle once

I hate the things so much because they hurt to use, can't really be used one-handed and also make it difficult to drink from the bottle because of the weird angles they implicate.

So I've been cutting the caps off and cutting the little limbs off and making what was previously one piece of plastic into three, which I obviously also hate doing.

In the past I would always screw the lid back on before binning it, either to trap the air out or for the sake of completeness, so in my particular case this policy is very much the worst of all worlds, I hope the data shows that I'm an edge case though if they're passing it into law.

Now I have 20+ until I can't store them any more so I have to throw them out*

There's no real way to get rid of surplus bags, that's the problem. So they just pile up until they go to landfill. If shops let you return bags somehow that would be fantastic.

40 times is fucking wild, I maybe get 5-10 if I really go hard before I forget to bring it one time and have to buy another one

What you need to hide now is not the same as what you will need to hide in the future.

Second-hand and charity shop DVDs are your friends here

I didn't say they didn't, simply that the idea that "Gendered words serve no purpose" is untrue, they are very useful.

If it means Spotify, Discord and others will just work on Linux at little cost to the developer, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

If you refuse to make the same product for someone because they're gay, that should be illegal.

If you refuse to make a product because it's gay, that should be within your rights. However much of a terrible person that makes you.

If a Christian asked me to make a Christian website, I'd say no and that should be within my rights. If a Christian asked me to make a hobby photography website similar to one I made for someone else, I should not be allowed to refuse on the grounds that they are Christian.

I couldn't disagree more, many people may not fit into genders, but most people do and simply knowing whether someone is a man or a woman is very useful. Gendered nouns though, like in French, Spanish, Italian etc. serve no purpose but do encode redundancy into the language which can be very valuable for speaking in loud places
