It's hardly overlooked. It's been widely known for many years that cheap fast fashion is one of the worlds worst pollutants. Stop buying from shein, h&m, tkmax, and all the others. Buy quality clothing that will last a few years at least.

Going through faith crisis. (+ give An advice)

You can have your faith and still denounce bigotry and intolerance. Leaving Catholicism doesn't mean you've lost faith in your God, it just means you've lost faith in a group of people and their ideals.

Obviously this group is about atheism so you'll not get many comments here encouraging you to stay Catholic. You sound like you have a moral compass. Don't concern yourself with what the ignorant Catholics around you say and do, just be a good human and spread love and acceptance not hate and intolerance. What would Jesus do?

How did a simple phone call become so problematic?

For the workplace, calls are king. If you're a professional, calling another professional, it's the easiest and fastest way to exchange information back and forth. Long email chains that take several days to reach their conclusion are inefficient. If you need something done, in the work/business arena, just call. Younger generations are entering the workforce for first time and are scared to make or answer calls. It's embarrassing.

Sure, outside of work, keep calls to a bare minimum. Family usually text first to arrange a phone call.

People have no back bone anymore. Oh no, I'm getting telemarketing calls... Just hang up.

The state of Linux phones in 2025

I switched to GrapheneOS like 4 years ago and at first I was bummed that I could no longer tap my phone to pay. But it's fine. I still go out with my wallet in my pocket, so it's no problem to just tap my bank card really... I'll take privacy over convenience thanks

Florida lawmaker switches to Republican Party after winning election as a Democrat: ‘I’m tired of being the party of protesting’

The fact that this is legal in the US is just another reason why US politics is completely fucked. The people didn't just elect the person, they elected the party. If she no longer wants to be a Democrat then she should resign. Here in Australia, that's what you do. You want to join the other party? you resign an then you need to be re-elected for the party your represent. It's fucking insane to be able to just go, nup, I'm switching sides.

If that's allowed, why don't don't smart, well spoken Dems campaign as Republicans to get the Maga votes then switch to Democrat after being elected?

Tell them to fuck off

I read the other day that a good response to these fuck heads is ridicule. They're not only prepared for a fight, it's what they want. What they can't stand however is being ridiculed and laughed at. The most demoralising thing you can do is to laugh in their face because of how fucking ridiculous they are.

Sure, tell them to Fuck right Off.. but do it with a chuckle and a grin. They won't know how to handle it.
