I'm comparing not being able to use plastic bags to the possibility of someone listening in on you having conversations that you shouldn't be worried about in the first place.

Hoo boy

What a silly little comparison lol

Simple really. The NSA's logic and people who defend them and the Patriot act say that any means necessary to protect the lives of the american people. That includes infringing upon our privacy and freedoms for our security.

So when someone says "Why the fuck should you care if the NSA is listening to you talk about anime tiddies and D&D with your friends, we're more protected because of them!" you would agree, correct?

wtf does this have to do with anything

make another topic if ya wanna talk about the NSA lol

The perspective I keep is that while it might not look like much on a macro level, people any sort of great societal change begins with stuff like this.

It's not about making a grand gesture, it's about nudging and getting everyone on board with stuff like this. Changing attitudes.

I will also say that bigger corporations and polluters have definitely come under a lot more scrutiny for the kinda shit they pull, particularly in the last few years. You'll get a story about some heartless megacorp trying to take some green step. It may be fairly pointless but it plays into the thing I said about changing attitudes. I'd take the fact that nations and corporations feel the need to at least try to attempt to be more green as a bit of a victory.

It's not about going after the little guy, but change has always come from the bottom up. Change individuals minds and everything works its way up.

I would also say the solution to enforcing rules on big polluters is to actually elect people who believe in a functioning environmental regulatory agency, as well.

It's a bitter pill to swallow, but the reality is the new legislation is a nice gesture, yet ultimately pointless. Keep in mind that a lot of us don't have a problem with recycling, using reusable bags, and so on. But we can still be honest with ourselves about the situation

Iunno this whole nihilistic and defeatist "nothing we do matters" attitude is a little childish imo

What's wrong with paper bags again?

Reusable bags eventually "go bad" because of all the disgusting bacteria that you eventually can't clean out, and last I saw they aren't biodegradable.

I mean neither are regular non-reusable bags. At the very least you use these ones many many times more than you would a regular plastic bag

Also, disgusting bacteria? Unless shit breaks or spills everywhere in there I'm not sure how this happens to ya.

Because now it's starting to affect the lives of people for the worse for the net benefit of basically nothing for the environment anyway.

I think you're pretty grossly exaggerating this issue

"oh no we have to bring our bags to the store" isn't really a problem for anyone

many people from all backgrounds and classes do it already and have been chugging along just fine

if it'll make you more comfortable you can get a reusable one that looks and feels like plastic.

Owen's last name is Lars.

I always assumed Luke either took their name legally so he'd be Luke Lars, or that Skywalker was a slave name.

New Hope would receive the treatment Avatar did when it came out (It's just x in space)

Empire Strikes Back would probably be received as it was back then. It was somewhat polarizing at the time.

Return of the Jedi would be panned in this day and age of hyperfocused "video essay" critiques. Imagine someone in this sort of online culture watching Jabba's Palace and most of the Endor stuff.

Didn't they have a scene where what's left of the Resistance meets on the ship and somberly recounts that their command either died or was incapacitated in the attack?

There's also a scene where when Rose and Finn arrive on Crait and Rose sadly asks "Is this all that's left?"
