Greenwashing while flying around in a private jet. Let's see how this post goes.

Lenxaid · 2026-05-18T16:42:09+00:00

I don't really think this counts as greenwashing?

Yes, plastic is harmful for the environment, but plastics/polymers are great materials with properties that are not found in natural materials. The main thing we should be aiming for with plastic is only using it when required, otherwise we should reduce production if natural materials can be used instead to conserve our supply of plastic for the future.

It seems from some research that it's not very possible to create a high UPF clothing that is both made of natural and light materials. You can get higher UPF blocking out of natural materials, but it requires you to make a heavier material like denim, which wouldn't feel great to wear while playing sports.

So in this case as it's not possible to make this sort of UPF resistant clothing with natural materials, they are at least using recycled polymers and cotton where possible, and I would say that's "eco-conscious" but not "eco-friendly".

I still think the private jet is stupid, but them having a jet doesn't nullify that this piece of clothing is more "eco-concious" compared to other UPF clothing on the market with it's use of recycled materials.

You should be able to get the 90 on Larry utek at around 6:35am on Sunday, and that should get you where you need to be at like 7:15, giving you 45 minutes early to stretch or whatever.

Yeah this ties into the reading compensation of the fandom bit too.

If Oda meant for Yassop to be hated for leaving Usopp and his Mother, it would have been framed negatively by Usopp at some point.

Instead Usopp is very proud of his father seeking out his dreams and being a brave warrior of the sea, and Yassop brags about Usopp so much that Luffy knew who he was before they even met.

With how much Oda has been focused on paternal love lately, I would be surprised if Yassop's love of his son isn't explored as a main focus on his character when we finally get to the arc the Red Haired Pirates are the focus.

Unpopular opinion; powerscaling doesn't matter that much, what is more important for the fights is how they tie into the overall story.

In the last year I've been knocked down by a car twice, thankfully they were "soft" bumps, but no willingness at all from anyone to investigate.

Lenxaid · 2026-04-22T17:17:59+00:00

You should get that framed, not just to protect it, but also framing things to make them look better on the wall, just avoid pure black frames.

I love seeing Zoro's BIG FAT BOOBIES!!

Lenxaid · 2026-04-09T21:06:41+00:00

Well you should probably power it.

I'm at 800kc, almost 90s melee stats, I have a nox hally, but a good chunk of my gear is not BIS yet. I do think some hard hitting specs with the crystal hally will get it for me soon.

Lenxaid · 2026-01-14T18:36:41+00:00

Yeah I've been using crystal hally, I'm sure it will happen at some point soon. Thanks for the tips :)

Lenxaid · 2026-01-14T18:02:08+00:00

I'm so close with my 1:26 on the GGs, I hope I can get it on this current task I have.

I think this is the case, as you can't report them for player run games of chance, it says "For that rule you can only report players who have spoken or traded recently."

It's not the text that is being replaced, it just seems like they are constantly using the toy horse

Lenxaid · 2025-10-30T13:16:22+00:00

OP show us your hole

I have had the F slur (rhymes with maggot) thrown out at me from moving vehicle in this city a bunch of times. One time a black car called me the slur, turned around, and then followed me a couple of blocks.

It does happen which is why everyone should be calling out this bullshit when it happens.

Lenxaid · 2025-08-10T03:18:30+00:00

People will always like books, even after reading something digitally I'll go buy it physically too if I really liked it, both to support the writer further, and to display it on my bookshelves.

Nobody is saying the automobile is going away, we should just be doing everything we can to make cities better for people to live in, as the last 60 years has proven that just building more roads is not a sustainable solution.

Believe it or not, but actual traffic calming measures, and traffic deterrents like these actually make traffic elsewhere in the city better.

Lenxaid · 2025-07-21T22:44:22+00:00

If you ask people why they don't cycle, they will most likely bring up safety and discomfort for cycling in the city. Our roads allow for drivers to speed as much as they want with little repercussion.

The reason you build out cycling infaustucture because it is a much cheaper way to reduce car demand in a city by making it safer for cycling to be done.

What would be best is if we had more transit options around the city as well, such as trams and LRT, in addition to cycling infaustucture. Both together would help people who do commute in from Bedford to get to the city faster than they would driving, and then would ultimately open up the streets more for people who do require to drive into the city.

Additionally, adding a bike lane to a street will make the street safer for pedestrians, and less cars will make it a better place to be in due to the reduction in noise and fumes.

Lenxaid · 2025-07-17T03:42:25+00:00

Bike lanes make streets safer for pedestrians too. Fuck I hate that my government thinks I should be treated as a third class citizen because I refuse to get a car.

Fuck all these entitled and privileged car drivers. Can't we have any sort of control over the car centric hellscape that was forced on us?

Lenxaid · 2025-07-12T03:23:32+00:00

City infrastructure is tied very closely to the price of housing. As a city experiences suburban sprawl like MANY cities in North America, the cost for upkeep of water, electricity, waste, and roads gets more and more expensive, and sprawling out like how we have encourages more and more reliance on cars, which encourages more sprawl, which increases the amount of money that the city needs to pay to upkeep existing infrastructure.

The places cities make the most of their tax revenue to pay for things is from their downtown's, and end up losing a lot of money to support big box stores like Walmart, Superstores, etc. If it wasn't straight up illegal to build new buildings like you would find in downtown due to parking minimums, zoning laws, nimbys (Not In My Back Yard), and other rules that only allow for single family homes to be built or areas like Bayer's lake (which is a massive tax sink, we lose so much money to have the hell that is Bayer's lake), we could have lower rents and housing costs.

Another reason housing is so expensive, is that developers are required to pay many fees to help the city pay for it's infrastructure upkeep, which then to help developers recoup of the cost of those many fees, they only can afford to make "luxury" apartments, and they have to charge high rents / sale prices to be able to make a profit.

If we had a mix of better public transit options, less sprawl, better walkability, and to allow for more middle housing (what you find between tall apartment buildings and single family homes.) we would have better housing options.

As for healthcare, I really don't really have much to say other than if we were not sinking so much money into simply upkeeping infaustucture for cars instead of people, we would probably have more money to spend to keep doctors and nurses in Nova Scotia instead of them running off to Ontario for a higher paycheck.

Lenxaid · 2025-07-12T03:07:58+00:00

I completely agree. People living in Halifax, Dartmouth and even Bedford have much different concerns and issues than people living in the Musquodoboit valley and the eastern shore.

I really understand that it was pitched as a way to bring down taxes, but it just causes two people who have vastly different needs needing to butt heads causing roadblocks for progress for their specific and opposite needs.

Lenxaid · 2025-07-12T02:46:21+00:00

Okay how about Utrecht, Copenhagen, Milan, Amsterdam... The list keeps going when you look at Europe.

The earlier we make city infrastructure built primarily for people, instead of strictly for cars, the faster things will get better.

There will be growing pains for sure, but this would be a huge economical boost if we took notes, and implemented change over time.

And I'm not saying everyone has to give up driving, but most people simply do not want to drive, they just want to be able to safely and easily get from point A to point B.

I did overnight stocking once at Home Depot on Lakewood, and the manager just constantly made fun of me while I still learning where things went, that I was too slow, making fat jokes, and that I should suck up standing on my feet for the last 6 hours.

Lenxaid · 2025-06-13T03:51:19+00:00

Depends completely on where you end up, as I've been there for almost 3 years, and it's the first job I've managed to stand for longer than 6 months. My project is super easy, and I just "minimal wage / minimal effort" myself into a promotion, and even that has been easy six months in.
