Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.

Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)

Reduce what you can

Reuse everything still in working order

Recirculate what you don’t need by sharing or selling onward

Refurbish what’s fallen out of good condition so it lasts longer

Repair what’s broken altogether

Repurpose what can’t serve its original function

Recycle what is unsuitable for repurposing

I wanted to draw Cai and my fem Caine together :)

I have the power! I have 3. The het, the yaoi and the yuri!

This is Cai. She is incredibly insecure and scared of failure. She locked herself up in the office, unable to face humans ever since Destiny (Queenie) abstracted.

Did gang seen Cai at all? Only Grant (Kinger). No one else did, since avatar creation process is automated and Bubble is the one doing the greetings.

Ringmaster is a myth and legend. Since Kinger is still insane, Cai is spoken about as ghost of this place. like an AI runs this circus, but no one is sure if its around, if its sentient or if it even axists. Bubble makes it clear that he is only here to forward the word

They retain their names? Yes. Cai doesn't want to distribute circus names, so once avatar is created she pulls their name out of meta data from scanner and let them remember their names. Anything to avoid humans

Does she hates\fears humans? Cai loves humans, but thinks she failed them and just can't face them. thinking they will delete her on the spot.

Does Cai makes adventures? Yes. Bubble starts them

Pomni completely alone? Even though Cai does makes adventures - past ones are always open and humans are free to roam. She does whatever they ask for (She spys on them via eyes). When Pomni arrived the gang was out doing their usual activities. They may not return to the tent for days

Pomni stays in the office? Yeah, she is too afraid to be by herself. Since Cai is much more soft spoken and also scared, it made Pomni relate to her better. Also jester has no idea that Cai is a ringleader at first. She thinks she is just a local someone.

Ribbit abstracted after Kaufmo? Some things are a bit different, since Cai is not present. Like for example Ribbit surviving longer. Also 100% of absctractions are human's fault. Scratch abstractedbecause he wanted to deal with his mind file himself and Cai gave him access (Which she blames herself for this relentlessly)

Pomni gets confidense via helping Cai to be more braver with other humans, thinking if she will be more active - it'll make thngs easier for others

Graham was a homophobe and was seen as one of Trump's closest allies in the Senate. His death will not meaningfully impact the partisan balance of the Senate, as South Carolina's Republican governor can immediately appoint a replacement to serve out the remainder of his term.

Jax, look, I know we don’t get along, but I think this scammer thinks we’ll fall for their bullshit.
