I really hope you’re at least getting paid to post this badly my dude

Interesting such an old, trite example went over your head. Classic for a reason and very true imo. Filament lightbulbs were engineered to burn out regularly and require replacement, that doesn’t make the point you’re going for. Broad spectrum antibiotics breed resistant strains and require new formulations, especially when aggressively marketed and overprescribed because more use=more money. Again not a great example. Vaccine development has historically been funded and promoted by government as a cost-effective way of maintaining a workforce, not exactly a shining endorsement of profit motive. I’m genuinely having a hard time believing you’re dumb enough to make these arguments in good faith and kinda done here

I had a whole thing about my setup here, but it was more than I want to share. Short version, panels are cheaper, easier to deal with, and longer lasting than you think. Most manufacturers guarantee 80% capacity after 30 years, area covered is more important than max output, there’s no need to buy the whole thing at once, 3-5k no more than 1200 at a time over a few years can get a lot of people all they need

The perfect drug would cost exactly as much as a patient can produce while maintaining themselves. This is not an original or hypothetical example. Treatment is more profitable than cure.

Well, my original suggestion was to befriend a rancher… not an expert and can’t speak as to exactly how widespread it is (or even if this was legal I guess), but anecdotally all it took was asking around a little. Nice spot on a hill, few people/critters already buried there, felt right, cost nothing. Two generations in and I’d like to be a third. If that’s not widely accessible I wish it were, from this end I’ve never heard of a $7k human composting service and it sounds way crazier to me than just getting buried in a pasture

Energy (read: oil) companies don’t invest in “green energy” for the same reason pharma companies don’t research cures

Fuck your government, cover your roof in panels and enjoy. Simple as

You seem to have linked to the entire wikipedia article on body disposal, possibly without reading it. Here’s a map, some info from a funeral home, and legal advice state by state. Sorry if this is too US-centric, that’s where I’ve been through the process five times.

“if you don’t want to work, then that becomes your job”

I genuinely enjoy working to directly better my situation. It’s completely different from being exploited to keep enough points in a bank account to survive

Holy bourgeoise, batman! Just befriend a rancher. We are all compost in training, it’s not that hard

e: fr tho, nothing illegal about just getting dropped in a hole as-is on private property most places

We called it a graveyard, still works lol

You know how when you were a kid you’d mix all the flavours from the soda fountain?

Great question op. Waluigi definitely fucks, makes zero sense

Zip it, snitch!

I don’t know the science and have never heard those claims, but I do know critters and they sure are friendly. I would say the single easiest critter to pet, right up there with deer. They are absolutely aware that no one wants to eat them and being cute gets em fed

Fucked up if true

All it takes to do your own research is some cat food, they very much are lol. They’re smart and adaptable and fun to be around, great lil buddies

My friend, have you considered cleaning the valve ~once every 10 years as opposed to beating it monthly? It’s not hard to do!

It’s almost like the “economy” has fuck-all to do with quality of life and a couple business owners getting rich isn’t worth commodifying your home!

Jesus was a dirty homeless activist with no love for the institutions of his time. Would genuinely fit in better in under any overpass than in any church. Cool dude.
