I JUST found out about Amazon “Bin Wins” at Staples & had to share even though I’m super late 😂 You can buy brand new returned stuff really cheap.. instead of letting it go to a landfill or get shipped overseas. 🫣

Humans are gregarious animals. They need interaction with other people. More and more people are isolating themselves and spending excessive time with machines: scrolling on their phones, watching TV shows, relying on artificial intelligence for trivial tasks, and so on. This behavior has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies have shown that this diminishes cognitive function, even in people who were previously intelligent. By constantly using devices, these people are not exercising their minds, and and they are therefore losing their ability to think critically. More and more people are adopting a consumerist attitude toward other human beings. If they find a flaw in someone, they stop associating with them. At the slightest disagreement, they end the relationship. This cuts them off from the social contact that humans need so much. It also cuts them off from the positive qualities and good ideas of these people. If someone in a group is unpleasant, or if someone has a moment of unkindness, they stop interacting with the entire group. However, cutting ties with a group is a far more damaging experience for the individual than receiving one or two unpleasant remarks. Moreover, even the worst people can offer valuable insights that challenge preconceived notions. Of course, while it is important to avoid toxic individuals and unpleasant groups, it’s equally crucial to keep things in proportion. Consuming only information that pleases is very detrimental. Social media, printed newspapers, television, and online platforms often contribute to this. History clearly shows that kings who surrounded themselves only with people who flattered them made major mistakes. For example, Richard II in England. Confrontation has its benefits. People need to test their ideas with others. Humans need others to step back and think. To live together, there must be tolerance. Listening and trying to understand others’ perspectives fosters stronger relationships. No tur…

Slop is Everywhere For Those With Eyes to See How mindless consumption is making our FYPs worse.

#Slop is Everywhere For Those With Eyes to See

We are over consuming content on the #FYP. The sudden surge of #lowquality, #AIgenerated content, i.e. “AI slop,” is a byproduct of that #overconsumption.

People who eat animals assume that birth control has to be forced upon people via eco-fascism or something. Since they are ok to enslave, torture and kill for their pleasure, they assume other people would enforce too when it comes to survival.

I wouldn't.

Why Do We Need So Many Versions of the Same Album? I am all for bringing back physical media. If you are paying for something, you should own the actual item. However, I find that the recent trend of releasing multiple versions of the same album with little to no difference is utterly wasteful. This practice is overconsumptionism at its finest and is bad for consumers […] The post Why Do We Need So Many Versions of the Same Album? appeared first on NYCTastemakers.

This should be widely reported by the main stream media.

This is where our cast offs end up.
Shocking to think there is all those ghastly plastic fibres sitting there.

Devastating toxic spill seen as test of whether African countries can stand up to China Chinese companies provide jobs and much needed revenue in Zambia, where the disaster took place.

Another toxic tragedy in the long list of pollution disasters to feed the #capitalist #overconsumption machine. If Zambians weren't so poor, they might not risk their entire communities' well-being for a few dollars a day, and then where would our cheap stuff come from? www.bbc.com/news/article...

+ We know which countries are most responsible for the historic greenhouse emissions & #overconsumption driving climate change (aka the early stages of climate #collapse). They are not Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia or Sri Lanka.

#GlobalClimateInjustice = those least responsible suffer the most.

Just did a search in my inbox. I have received 228 Black Friday emails this year.

Two hundred and twenty-eight. Capitalism is screaming at me to buy junk I don't need with money I don't have.

The desperation is palpable. Delete all.
