The majority of the aluminum in circulation in the US is recycled. It’s significantly more than even glass and paper. The reason is because it’s much cheaper to use recycled aluminum than raw.
But you’re right when it comes to plastic.
It’s not exclusive to older generations unfortunately.
I think there’s a lot of self selection going on. Most people who migrated here did it based on principles (or a persecution complex), so of course they will have lots of political opinions, often extreme. Frankly, it’s getting a little tiring seeing it everywhere. Even on gaming subs it seems like every other post results in a discussion about the evils of capitalism.
I don’t think so. I mean, some publications might, but big ones like Bloomberg and Reuters have acknowledged since the IPO that the major investors believe it is well overvalued. IIRC they reported that Fidelity and Blackrock gave it a $5B valuation. I recall another major investor cited the difficulty of feeding paid ads to its user base in the current community based format, and unsuccessful attempts to push profile/user centric “feeds” (similar to Facebook and Twitter) instead.
Yeah I like mine a lot. There’s not a lot of small phones nowadays that aren’t just meant to be as cheap as possible.
Downvoted for stating an easily verifiable fact lol
What’s crap about it? I really like mine. Small, thin, snappy, good battery, never heats up. Beats the hell out of my Zenfone.
There’s the 2nd gen SE although they said it sold poorly.
Sometimes it does seem like everyone’s on a soapbox or cynical crusade about some shit or another and you’re a bad person if you don’t know or care.
Lots of places on Reddit and Twitter also feel that way. I think it’s just an inherent part of mass online interaction.
Idk if that helps your point as it’s simultaneously one of the most studied and least understood things in physics. Although I doubt a creationist could mount that argument.
I guess it’s combined 25k since I got the message. A massive number of casual users will qualify for that considering Reddit has been around for over a decade.
Are they really just spamming out a scam email to hundreds of thousands of their users? They can’t get a good enough valuation with real investors so they’re banking on having enough non-financially savvy people in their massive user base to be able to cash out with a valuation they know is bullshit? Really?
Considering there are legal requirements to become an accredited investor for private companies, I’m surprised something like this (and on this scale) is even allowed. Isn’t this fraud?
I got one even though I deleted all my posts and comments months ago. I have not engaged on Reddit since then.
Also, what is the threshold? I only have 14k post and 19k comment karma which is pretty low considering the size and age of Reddit. I don’t think I’ve ever even posted anything in a large sub, just niche hobby ones.
Are they just asking everyone now?
Wow I guess they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
There’s a ton of these accounts. They gather karma with scripts that randomly repost top 100 all time posts on big subs and then delete them so their account looks clean. Then they sell it to ad companies that post client sanctioned posts and comments and get paid based on user engagement with the brand.
Check out r/hailcorporate. A huge portion of Reddit is just guerrilla advertising.
I like dunking on poor journalism as much as the next guy but Microsoft isn’t just some local office in Redmond. They’re a giant international megacorp with 200k+ employees. Their PR is 24/7. If they didn’t respond immediately, it means they don’t care to.
