Ruffles the mekanik

And then someone will ask about reusable bags and you’d have to do the study again only to reveal that you need to use the reusable bag like a couple thousand times to offset the carbon emissions it takes to make the reusable bag and make it worth it over disposable bags and that’s not taking into consideration bags breaking before then or being forgotten about completely.

The answer always leads to “it’s incredibly complicated but our current practices are so terrible we would need a full scale restructuring of our economy and practices to such a degree that can literally never happen because our government is lobbied by the people who make money off of said unsustainable practices.”

“Paper or plastic” elides the real questions, like:

Why do I have to own a car to drive to a big grocery store?

Why can’t I live in walking distance to a small grocery store?

Why can’t we all use cargo bikes?

Why am I behind the wheel of a large automobile?

How do I work this?

Is this my beautiful house?

Is this my beautiful wife?

Would I be better off living in a shotgun shack?

Am I right, or am I wrong?

[image description: a comic starring and narrated hornet from hollow knight. In the first page she says “I fell asleep in the beasts den where my mother used to lie, and dreamt that I was back at the white palace.” She goes from lying in the beasts den, to staring out a palace window.

The second page reads, “I was looking for something in my old room, although I couldn’t remember what, but I ended up in throne room instead, and found the corpse of a cowardly creature.” She leaps into the air with her needle, and finds the corpse of the pale king sitting on his throne.

The third page reads, “when I had reached my room, I found the hollow knight seated at the window.” The hollow knight is pictured at the window, covered with the infection. Hornet narrates, “their shallow breathing gave way to the infections light, and I woke up at my mothers grave.” End ID]
