Ummm... what the they hell would anyone expect? The door swings both ways. You help create a mess in which internet companies are pressured to police, censor, and suppress... it is going to eventually come and bite you back in the ass when you violate the very rules you demanded be put in place.

Thank you for this post. I find the acronym “TERFS” extremely confusing. What is a “radical feminist?” Is this feminist ONLY RADICAL because he/she is not accepting of transpeople? Or is it ‘simply’ a matter of even Accepting? Must these feminists wholeheartedly embrace transpeople, or can they remain accepting yet…

I actually missed that-wow. “Perhaps it’s not fair?” Yeah no. It’s total bullshit to ask her to speak up about her husband’s costar’s scandal on a job that neither of them were working on. Jeez. 

This was my thought. She talked about her husband’s behavior, not his co-star’s. She shouldn’t have to answer for either man, but she shared what she wanted to share about her husband, and she doesn’t owe us anything about Tambor and his shitty actions. 

Oh, it’s sillier than that: that passage is lamenting that she didn’t address the malfeasance her husband’s costar got up to while working on another project which neither of them is connected with.

Perhaps it’s not fair to expect Tamblyn to speak up about Barnes and Lysette’s accusations.

I generally appreciate the message of your post, but the story/tangent about the infected finger feels like it’s on a different level? I can’t think of any parent wouldn’t laugh at that story in hindsight, assuming you didn’t end up getting your finger amputated or anything.

Yeah, because it’s only you who isn’t abusing anyone...

Or you can rinse your bottles and cans once they’re empty.

Not to be too smug here but “reverse vending machines” are in every supermarket in Germany. There has been a mandatory deposit on bottles for ages (and since 15 years a deposit also on plastic bottles and cans). In earlier ages or smaller shops there’s still people giving back the deposits when your turn up with an…

I’m not so sure that “Italian guy” and “vending machine” are synonymous.

No harm to anything but the author’s reputation as a journalist.

I think part of it is that we’re expected to recycle for free, just for the environment. When I was a kid, I’d collect beer cans, crush them, and when I had a few trash bags worth, my dad would haul them to the center for a few dollars. Hauling a couple of pounds of aluminum an hour away in a pickup did fuck all for…

Unless you’re writing about it as if it’s something new and exotic. This article was the equivalent of someone from Oregon writing about how there’s this brand new thing being tested in Belgium self-serve gasoline! It might even be rolled out more widely someday!

Is this serious? Ever heard of CoinStar?

Iceland (as if you couldn’t tell) specialises in frozen foods. They have several initiatives aimed at removing palm oil from products and reducing plastic packaging where possible. A 10p voucher might not sound much, but if you return ten bottles then that is £1. Every little counts, to borrow a rivals catchphrase.…

Yes.

TIL, Kate has never been to Michigan where every supermarket has these for cans.

Have you seriously never seen a bottle deposit machine?  Really?  

Are you under ten years old?
