With my PS4, I decided to pay for the online gaming because the free games and online play with Rocket League. It's seemed like a good deal, I guess. Anyway I lapsed the payment. Then found it all the "free" games I collected (and never played) required a subscription. And Ironically, Rocket League didn't require a subscription. So I basically was paying for a Netflix like gaming service where you slowly get games if you remember to click on them each month. But in reality, I was just giving Sony free money.

That ended it for me.

    Recycling by choice is stupid (lemmy.world)
     

    Giving consumers a choice to recycle to better the environment doesn't work and is dumb. Evidently, if I want to stop plastic pollution, I need to carefully sort my plastics, but only certain types with my garbage service. This ends up being about half of my purchases. The other half of plastics just go into my garbage bin for landfill. Nevermind the plastic number on each item.

    Same with batteries! Everybody is just tossing them. I'm suppose to put tape in the ends and put them in a zip lock. People are not going to do this.

    We need laws for the source of the issue instead of these fake fixes that rely on the consumer to "do good" that didn't work.

    Protesting needs to evolve (lemmy.world)
     

    Protesting with a sign and snarky message doesn't do much. Everyone agreeing to do one simple (non violent) thing would work much better. It has to be just one thing though. The "don't buy anything" day is ineffective and confusing.

    "No kings" day should be more like "No Kings & uninstall Twitter/X" day. At rallies, people could give advice on how to delete their accounts on that platform.

    Then at the next rally, it's cancel Amazon Prime.

    Snarky signs still welcome of course.
