Sword must be high-level (Ironlily)
Try to stab something with this monstrosity and it's guaranteed to get stuck between the ribs or in other bones, leaving you without a weapon.
Historical swords aren't spiky for a reason

Agreed, this is such bullshit.
Forced arbitration is in my opinion already a bullshit thing, but saying that the TOS of your streaming service applies to your resorts, parks and restaurants is something so dystopian that I can't believe this even could have been stated seriously.
The consequences of the result of this lawsuit are going to be fucking ridiculous.

The only polish word I know is kurwa, and Zubrowka.
You're right, you know just one word in Polish, because it's Żubrówka you filthy peasant.

Poweruleless to change others
I fucking hate the "you're just one man, what can you do? Stop complaining" crap. It's as if this is how we have always lived, as if no big changes were ever made.
Did you forget your countries own past? Pretty sure most of them had a revolution, a protest or some other kind of push for change at a point in time.
There was a time where women were nothing more than mothers, cooks and maids. They pushed for that to change and now they are equal to men. We changed our world before, can we please not give up on that now?
More than ever do single people have a voice, never before you could get in touch with so many people at once over so much distance. You would think that pushing for change, organising protests and gatherings would be easier than ever, and yet we are told "what can you do?" by the very people who see a problem.

Even a systemic change wouldn't do that much, plastic doesn't break down into other things, it only separates into smaller pieces.
Even if we stopped using all plastic right now, the plastic that is already in the environment would still enter the food chain and accumulate in the top of it.

When ice forms, it traps small airpockets in it, so we take samples of ice from the polar circles kilometres deep, date it, crush it to release the air pockets and measure the air contents. Then we can see how different the CO2 amounts were to now.
Source: there's a fuck ton of different articles that talk about this, and this is the first one I found of Google, search yourself for more.

Shit like concord somehow gets released, and yet stuff like Project Dragon gets scrapped even though it was weeks from announcement and 3 months from alpha release (if I remember correctly)

Yea that's bloody ridiculous, especially since that guy signed up for that in 2019. Dude agreed to a TOS half a decade ago and now can't even try to get compensation for the loss of his wife. How is this in any way acceptable?

We could organize stuff earlier... If we weren't either in work or sleeping after a full week of getting up in the morning to "be productive members of society" !
Barely relevant side note, I wanted to go to a concert in Poland, Powerwolf, Hammerfall and Wind Rose are playing in Kraków, but it's on Monday? Who the hell makes a concert on Monday?!? God-damn it.

That women had an EpiPen, imagine yourself having an allergy, making sure to inform the staff at a restaurant multiple times that you have an allergy, bringing an EpiPen with you just in case, and then as you struggle to breathe you use the EpiPen and yet it doesn't help.
This has to be so terrifying, to struggle to breathe when you know you did everything you could to prevent this.
Those lawyers probably earn more in a month than the man could ever get from this lawsuit.

Lack of consequences is so often forgotten.
Let me rant here a bit because I really am sick of how all of this can work.
Let's look at the newest example from gaming, our beloved Concord. Sony sunk a fuck ton of cash for a game that has absolutely nothing new in the first person hero shooter genre, this game did nothing new, costed 40$ while most of the competition is free to play and while most hero shooters play fast with dynamic movement or are slower more tactics based, concord did neither, it was slow and as far as I know it didn't have that much team tactics.
Concord shouldn't have left the idea phase, whatsoever writing it down on paper with concept art since there was nothing there to put down on paper.
And yet it was made, costed (according to Wikipedia) $400 million and made maybe one milion USD (before the mass refund).
Did someone uptop that actually decided to make this crap get fired? No, of course not. Sony only shut down the developer studio behind the game. People lost jobs in a highly competitive job market because thier employers were absolutely braindead, these people weren't the designers of this game, they didn't greenlight a empty shell of an idea, they just coded what they were told to. While the higher-ups suffer no consequences, hell, the 400 Million won't be even a dent it Sony's yearly profit of 34 Billion.

No benefit? No, of course not. But for more money to the shareholders of the oil and coal companies which some politicians either are or get payed by. OF COURSE! They will do it gladly with a smile.
Renewables aren't funded anything close to what governments of any country spend on oil and coal companies, and that's for the benefit of the very few people who own them.
Didn't we already figure out the whole climate change story way back long ago? And the only reason why we didn't do anything about it were studies funded by the oil industry so that they absolutely have to show there was "no link" between our CO2 emissions and the global temperature? Because I'm pretty sure that's the story.

And remember! The high price tag attached to Concord had no influence on it's success! People will gladly pay for stuff that is offered for free elsewhere!

Important note, if you take a straw that separates into two split straws (kinda in a "Y" shape) that from a topological point of view is two holes, because one is for one of these paths, and the other is an extruded hole on the side of the first path. In topology you can't break or mend material, but you can pull, stretch, squeeze and move it all you want. So you can move one of the split straw "legs" to the bottom of the whole straw, getting a shape similar to a "V", it would look pretty much like a pair of pants. And topologically speaking it would be exactly the same. So... One straight hole for your mouth all the way down to your anus. Another two are there for your nostrils, that's 3 already. The rest are for your tear ducts, which have two holes on the edge of your eye, (so four in total) which merge and then connect to your nose.
So a human, from a topological perspective, is just a seven holed doughnut. Also Vsauce made a great video about that, with pretty great animations.

I don't know. There's a lot of plastic in the ocean, and as far as I know there are ways for it to go back into the rest of the ecosystem like water does, so plants will probably gather it as well. Less than animals but still some.
Regardless of whether you eat meat or not, you will get some of it in your system. Whether that's bad, and how much of it could cause issues is still unknown. From what I know there aren't any studies that state what effect microplastics have on our bodies. Probably because you would need a significant amount of people without any in their bodies as a base group, and with how much plastic is used by us every day that would be difficult to find.
Although, eating less meat is generally healthier, better for the ecosystem and cheaper (especially if you grow stuff, even in small pots near a window) so if you can switch to vegan/vegetarian diet without any health problems, you should give it a try but be mindful of your diatery needs, it's easy to not get enough vitamins or proteins if you don't plan your meals well which could lead to anaemia. Even if it doesn't work for you, at least you will know more recipes.
Also, I'm not a scientist, biologist or anyone with any credibility in this field, I'm a software developer and my biology is on high school level, so take everything I said here with a grain of salt since I may be wrong.
