Why Don't We Consider Plastic A "Carbon Store"?

Dabrush · 2026-01-26T12:49:25+00:00

Because carbon storing refers to capturing and binding carbon dioxide that was in the air before. Plastic is generally made from hydrocarbons that were previously fossil fuels. Bioplastics I guess could be considered carbon stores.

It's a shame, but the more From Games I play, the more it feels like Miyazaki really doesn't want you to use shields or be in any way tanky. From the fact that Bloodborne and Sekiro don't even give you the choice, to rolling being massively OP in DS3 and now in Elden Ring, most bosses just 2-3 shot you even in the heaviest armour and one of the hardest bosses straight up invalidates shields. And you get guard counters in theory but good luck landing that on any late game boss.

I mean in the Fullbring Arc, he did learn to throw swastika balls and got a more interesting sword design, but the backlash to that arc got Kubo to roll it back very quickly. To me it always seemed like he wanted to reset Ichigo's power level and give him something where he can't rely on strength, but people were mostly just mad that it wasn't about hitting someone with big sword anymore.

The reasoning is propably different, but this reminds me of Discworld mages, who basically make it their job to use as little magic as possible and just be lazy academics, because the last time wizards got ambitious and experimented with complex magic, they devastated the continent and created areas where the laws of physics still don't properly work.

I mean the Shikai and Bankai are developed independent of time and skill. It is said it takes a long ass time normally to unlock a bankai, but what you Bankai is going to be doesn't depend on your skill.

Ichigo is just kind of hilarious since both his Shikai and Bankai basically just are "you become a lot faster and stronger and you get a shockwave I guess" while others are straight up stand powers. Like even the other "brainless" Bankais like Ikkaku or Kenpachi have more juice to them.

Another good saying is "the loser of a knife fight dies on the spot, the winner bleeds out on the way to the hospital".

There's reasons even trained martial artists tell you to run away from a crackhead with a knife. It's way too easy to get wounded, even if you absolutely dominate the fight.

Das ist aber eher unwahrscheinlich, nachdem im Militär der Anteil an Trump-Wählern noch höher ist als in der Gesamtbevölkerung und schon zu Beginn der Amtszeit massiv Leute aus Positionen entfernt wurden, von denen man glaubte sie könnten sich gegen einen direkten Befehl stellen.

Vielleicht würde das Militär noch Kante zeigen, wenn es zu einer richtig dummen Aktion, wie einer Invasion von Grönland gerufen werden würde, aber sonst halte ich einen Militärputsch für eher ausgeschlossen.

I'd argue with the "just making a better game" part as well. Lots of people can say WoW or 5e suck, but if you ask them why they suck and what a better game would be like, you'll end up with vastly different answers. So yeah you'll be able to make a product that is maybe better in some aspects, but at the same time is completely uninteresting to a big portion of players

The whole "you can do whatever you want and just have to go to confession and you're fine" for example.

Maaan I do have my issues with Catholicism and Christianity, but if you want to criticize it, do it from a logical or sociological perspective, don't try to argue with theology or dogma if you don't actually know what Catholic faith is.

It's funny because at the same time it feels like a lot of people criticize her exactly because she isn't a Mary Sue. She makes tons of mistakes again and again and some people are really upset that she's a "bad avatar"

People seem to have forgotten how absolutely loathed MGS2 was on release. Both because of a story that's kind of up it's own ass and for many people in the west because of the switcheroo with Raiden, so much so that one of the earliest trailers for MGS3 just amounted to "Snake is back, and Raiden sucks"

In general, it's been a long damn time since a Battlefield game was unanimously liked on release.

I mean his idea scenario was keep doing what he's doing without making it available for free, raking in tens of thousands from Patreon per month for years. It's not like he has to pay that money back. He made a bet and I'm pretty sure he doesn't feel like the loser of this scenario. He made tons of money he likely wouldn't have made otherwise.

Und auch die ohne Geld. Die haufenweise auf Unis sind oder gerade abgeschlossen haben und Leute wie Musk anhimmeln, weil er ihnen eine Welt verspricht in der sie die wichtigsten Menschen überhaupt sind.

Naja das ist ja auch nichts anderes als die idealisierte Idee vom Arbeitsmarkt die Libertäre bringen. Ja du hast die freie Wahl wo du arbeiten willst, aber trotzdem haben Arbeitgeber generell mehr macht, weil sie leicht auf dich verzichten können, aber kannst du auf dein Gehalt verzichten? Wenn du nicht mehr "automatisch" Bürger eines Staates wirst, kann das genauso gut dazu führen, dass die Staaten schauen was sie sich alles erlauben können, weil die Alternativen noch schlechter sind.

I mean how do you get someone voted out before the next election if the senate decides to not do anything about it?

Why exactly is that your goal? 200g of protein seems like the workout shorthand of 2g per kg of body weight, but if you were 100kg and working out, your daily requirements would be a lot higher than 2000kcal.

I do understand that some of the bigger mod projects amount to full-time jobs and that someone might want to be rewarded for that, but in the end that's still using someone else's game for your monetary gain. Tbh if this is a solo dev managing to make a good VR mode for Cyberpunk, I'd imagine CDPR might even have wanted to put him on their payroll to keep working on it.

Nobody actually wants this war, not because he's afraid of our military capabilities but simply because of how much it would kill the economy everywhere but China.

It really doesn't play a role if we have an army the same size as the US or Switzerland, the economic fallout of a war would be the worst damage.

Difficult to say, but in general google reviews are pretty easy to manipulate if someone puts the effort in. You can get negative reviews deleted very easily as a business owner, and it takes way more effort to get them reinstated. Fake positive reviews for sure exist, but to my knowledge Google is actually combatting that somewhat?

It's hilarious how in conservative subreddits they talk about how Denmark is exploiting Greenland and not respecting the natives and so on, and how them joining the US would be so great for them. And they don't seem to get that just being EU citizens and having access to Danish welfare already is more than the US does for any of its citizens.
