I think a lot of waste management is very local, so the answer might be different for you than it is for me.

In my town, there is a box factory that gobbles up all of our paper products and turns them into new boxes. So I know that putting the cardboard in my recycling bin is worthwhile.

Yes.

Necromancers??!!

This is my go-to quote.

Yep, it’s like saying that drinking communion wine at church is a risky amount of alcohol.

As a non-drinker who has seen the ravages of alcohol abuse in several loved ones, I completely understand the “no level is safe” guideline.

That said, 3-4 drinks per year is far below any measure of alcohol use that is seriously studied, where researchers look at drinking at the “amount per week” level. 3-4 drinks per year is essentially on the level of being a non-drinker.

3-4 drinks per year won’t affect your cancer risk. Unless you’ve been drinking radium or something.

Your mom is mostly lignin.

For some reason, people tend to object to my preferred term, fedophiles.

America’s freedom from high oil prices? I can think of a few.

Fedophile

Thanks!

All things considered, spending $30 a month on a hobby is pretty good.

Not counting the cost of your time, how much money do you spend on this server?

Also, little known fact: the rodent is also named after the Motörhead singer. Weird but true.

In this case, OP is clearly talking about American politics. That is what I am saying.

I was calling out a reply that purposefully distorted OP’s language, the language used in this specific post. The discussion of the American political compass versus the international political compass is beside the point. And it’s obtuse and unhelpful to derail a perfectly good discussion with insults aimed at OP’s clearly American perspective.

Dude, you quoted a single word out from OP and somehow even got that wrong. Which makes me think you’re being deliberately obtuse.

OP wrote about “center-left” – the American spelling. So it’s clear that OP was discussing neo-liberalism from an American point of view. And in American politics, neo-liberalism is absolutely a component of center-left politics.

Sorry if this sounds angry. I get frustrated at the constant reframing of American politics under international standards. Yes, Americans lack a true leftwing in our politics. That’s well established at this point. Nitpicking language around “American left” vs “international left” derails real discussion and is not helpful.

I didn’t see that comment as reductive. More like pointing out a part of neo-liberalism that the commenter thought was good.

In other words, the comment is simply “globalized economy is good.” The comment is not what you’re inferring: "neo-liberalism is good because globalized economy is good "

Yep, the best way to prevent rich powerful assholes from getting us into huge wars is to make it extremely unprofitable. Don’t want to kill your market or labor force. Don’t want to disrupt your supply chain. Etc.
