  • But really, who cares. Landfills are a negligible amount of land usage and land used for them can be repurposed after closing the landfill. As long as you bury it enough to keep it out of the biosphere the environmental impact of not recycling is negligible. Recycling is preferable for lowering resource extraction sure but as long as its still more resource efficient than a gas car that’s irrelevant.

    To me this is the same as oil industry propaganda over wind turbine blades not being recyclable, like oh no it’ll occupy a few cubic yards of a landfill in 15 years, better build a new coal/gas plant instead.




  • Half the time its not even unauthorized. “What do you mean this website I uploaded to whose TOS allows them to license out my images licensed out my images??”

    I got into photography for a while ages ago when I was in highschool and even back then for my shitty landscape photos I was keenly aware of which hosting services respected my rights as copyright holder, apparently that’s too high of a bar to clear for many semi-professional artists. Now the models that did just scrape anything and everything, yeah that’s outright copyright theft. And how much you care about copyright theft is something else entirely.
