That’s how it’s sold (well thankfully several states have banned them so it’s often paper)

Also you’re euro right? Europeans jump through so many hoops to justify not having public toilets/trash, it’s like that continents version of American health care.

Partially agree, people are weirdly reluctant to ask for things to be fixed. I mean who among us has not just decided to skip out on telling the random employee that the bathroom is about out of soap? But how would they know?

The answer of course is that businesses which generate tons of onsite waste and provide trash bins have people whose job it is to keep an eye on cleanliness which includes soap, trash, etc. on a regular basis. Much the same way when you go to a grocery store you’re never out of carts. The difference is people use carts to buy, while garbage is different, so companies optimize for what makes them money at the cost of public good.

You keep your not quite empty styrofoam coffee cup in you pocket? Don’t you get sticky and start to smell like overripe coffee beans?

Just ask for that, they will oblige. Source: plenty of places I do this. While normally I find this bullshit cloying, in this case you have the power to be the change you want to see.

Have you ever lived in an urban area? If so, did you stay within the approx 1 mile radius that is a comfortable walk for most people, a significant % of the time? No stores you liked that were a neighborhood over but not in your town? No friends across the bridge? My experience has been that I can get about 25% of what I want done within walking distance, for everything else I need transit or a vehicle, and I live in a relatively walkable mixed use urban area.

Your point is valid (as I read it “if you have less trash there will be less trash”) but the path you used to get there is illogical (as I read it “if I have less trash, but people empty the trash at the same rate, this would not be a problem”).

OPs complaint is not that trash produced exceeds our capacity to remove it, it’s that people are not removing it. This remains true regardless of quantity.

What the fuck is this post, though? You take a full screenshot of your desktop to share a 3rd party post from ruff1298? Are we sure ruff is even in the loop?

For most usage, probably nothing. Let’s be honest you arent looking at those pics again most of the time. Most of the ones you do, you’re looking at on your phone which has a tiny screen. Ask yourself how many times you’ve wanted to zoom in 10x on a jpeg on your computer and there’s your answer as to whether there’s anything wrong with it.

Classic jpeg still has value and there’s improved revisions.
