I wonder if I could become a big Antivax YouTuber but just leave in little oopsies to try and convince people subtly that I'm wrong.

At the rate he's making them, I'm pretty sure they could introduce a new one every day.

My go to is generally "I will be" because it's true over a long enough timespan I guess.

I do this but with two trips exactly because of produce and such. I try to do a lot of fresh vegetables so like half my cart is usually produce but then I had to throw things away too often. Two trips seems like the minimum.

There was a movie about this called John Q.

It's not exactly that I wish to harm any of them. It's just that they all believe in strong individualism and I'd hate to help them when they have made it very clear that needing help is weakness in their religion. I'm sure they'd feel much better burning than receiving help from anyone.

There's a part of me that kind of feels like this could work if you just do it right. Like the idea is kind of cool, in a way.

Had a Windows PC hooked up to my TV in I think 2008, before streaming boxes and mass adoption of Netflix. Then it was dualboot for a while starting in I think 2015, originally with Ubuntu. Now it's full time CachyOS Linux as of 2023.

It's always been great. Wireless keyboard with the built in trackpad, plus originally 360 controllers but now 8BitDo Ultimate controllers. Plus I use it for homelab tinkering.

Sure, absolutely, but then people shame people for having a used one too so it's just hot potato.

I don't get the "just sell it" crowd. Your solution is playing hot potato with a car. Like someone is still getting that car. Unless you manage to sell it to Tesla themselves I guess, but it's my understanding that they only take them on trade-in.

So the choices you're proposing are: Sell a car so it's now Someone Else's Problem, which isn't a great look for you. Or scrap a perfectly usable car creating a bunch of waste, which isn't a great look for you.

Just let people have their old cars, geez.

There's definitely something to this. Like I'm often scared to be part of any group because inevitably someone in that group will be an asshole. I have played video games for a long time but I refuse to refer to myself as a "gamer" because of the associations.

There's one thing that's a bit different: Valve isn't publicly traded and beholden to stockholders. That doesn't inherently make them good, either, but it does mean they CAN be good, while publicly traded companies really can't.
