| schestowitz | I now have 5 bins in my kitchen, in order to better facilitate recycling that I've been doing for years. | Feb 22 16:22 |
| qu1j0t3 | :) | Feb 22 16:23 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: we put maybe 60-70% of our waste as recycling, but it's not segregated | Feb 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: dented that one about politicians | Feb 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz | qu1j0t3: it sets an example and gets it started I think | Feb 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz | Like, here it's expected from everyone to recycle | Feb 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz | companies can develop around it | Feb 22 16:24 |
| schestowitz | to use particular components | Feb 22 16:25 |
| schestowitz | profiting from waste | Feb 22 16:25 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: it costs our building more to send to landfill, so the incentives are correct.. they tend to ask residents to recycle more. | Feb 22 16:27 |
| schestowitz | Today I bought lots of capsules for the first time. Vitamins. Seems like placebo for the most part, but OH suggested that I try them. Got 60 tablets of vitamin D & calcium,90 of vitamin C, 60 of vitamin E, some of A, and iron. | Feb 22 16:27 |
| schestowitz | Placebo galore? Money down the drain? | Feb 22 16:28 |
| schestowitz | my mate Joe thinks so, he's a personal trainer | Feb 22 16:28 |
| schestowitz | qu1j0t3: there need to be a situation where capitalism is sorting this out | Feb 22 16:28 |
| schestowitz | making it favourable, financially, to recycle | Feb 22 16:28 |
| schestowitz | penalties for pollution are one attempt at it | Feb 22 16:29 |

| schestowitz | Unless there's PR toll or penalty | Feb 22 16:29 |
| schestowitz | ...So after a morning chat I made a change of plans and went to town centre in order to purchase those vitamins OH advised me to get. I went to three supplements stores and found what was suitable. | Feb 22 16:30 |
| schestowitz | those things are most likely "money down the drain"... vitamins I can get from fruit too, seems to be mostly made in the US by some "herb" brands | Feb 22 16:30 |
| schestowitz | I do know that omega 3 is a bit of a scam given that most people can get enough of it by just eating real foods, proper diets | Feb 22 16:31 |
| schestowitz | anyway, I wrote 5 posts today, time to publish them... | Feb 22 16:33 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: absolutely. | Feb 22 16:33 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: i know the UK has a problem with random dumping | Feb 22 16:33 |
| schestowitz | my friend joe said it's an american and canadian thing | Feb 22 16:33 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: i suppose it's a problem more or less everywhere | Feb 22 16:33 |
| schestowitz | over-medicating | Feb 22 16:33 |

| schestowitz | "Agreed. Its funny how people keep thinking that only voting will result into change. Look how it went down with Obama. Ive started to think that people need to upset the ruling elite and their sponsors by denying support for their corrupt system of present day democracy. Sure, it would be one hell of a ride that one, but Ive started to see it as the only way out of this system. Not voting doesnt mean you dont give shit, it | Feb 22 16:39 |
| schestowitz | means you dont support the options given us by the party elites and their sponsors." | Feb 22 16:39 |
| qu1j0t3 | LOL | Feb 22 16:40 |
| qu1j0t3 | voting is the only thing that /can't/ effect change. | Feb 22 16:40 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's what it's for. | Feb 22 16:40 |

| schestowitz | I would love to vote for some candidates, but they are marginalised and they only complain about it. They say, "this is not a democracy" yet they run in this system which they call undemocratic. For now, taking it to the streets and exposing the malfunctions in the system (on the Net, to peers, etc.) seems more productive use of time. | Feb 22 16:40 |

| qu1j0t3 | 'the suicide nets. They are everywhere, surrounding every worker dormitory and factory. When Weir asked Foxconn workers about the nets, they said simply, “That’s for workers’ safety.” | Feb 22 17:44 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: "ABC News got the invite after years of requests. That’s right, Apple called Weir, offering him, essentially, an all access pass to the plant floors where Apple builds its key products. Apple’s abrupt about face from secretive to open — at least when it comes to labor — was likely triggered by, first, intense public scrutiny, and then its own decision to invite an audit | Feb 22 17:44 |
| qu1j0t3 | of its Chinese factories by the Fair Labor Association. So Apple reached out, not surprisingly, to ABC News. Its parent company ABC is, as Weir himself was quick to point out, owned by Disney, which has a strong relationship with Apple that includes the Steve Jobs Trust owning substantial shares in the company. | Feb 22 17:44 |
| qu1j0t3 | “We expected to find some real horror stories, and didn’t. That said, what is acceptable on a Chinese assembly line is soul-crushing by American standards,” said Weir. | Feb 22 17:44 |

| schestowitz | here's my issue | Feb 22 21:44 |
| schestowitz | he responds to anything I post about Canonical and Ubuntu | Feb 22 21:44 |
| schestowitz | like he's monitoring me | Feb 22 21:44 |
| schestowitz | and if it's something negative, then he 'decorates' the thread | Feb 22 21:44 |
| schestowitz | sometimes by dismissing the messenger | Feb 22 21:44 |
| schestowitz | it can be quite agitating at times | Feb 22 21:44 |

| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: wait, wait--- why is a censorship request any more valid when it comes from a so-called 'democratic' country?????? | Feb 22 22:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: wouldn't that put the 'democratic' description on shakier turf?? | Feb 22 22:14 |

| schestowitz | you just need to use your words right | Feb 22 22:24 |
| schestowitz | Noam Chomsky has some good talks about it | Feb 22 22:24 |
| schestowitz | One example is, call one thing "terrorism" and its censorship "action against radicalisation" | Feb 22 22:25 |
| schestowitz | you cannot argue against that, can you? | Feb 22 22:25 |
| qu1j0t3 | radicalisation | Feb 22 22:29 |

| qu1j0t3 | “In our increasingly secular societies, many young people no longer keep the Lenten season in any special way – that’s why the Pontifical Council for Social Communications has come up with a new idea to focus hearts and minds on the challenges contained in Pope Benedict’s Lenten message for 2012. | Feb 22 23:06 |
| qu1j0t3 | ‘Starting on Ash Wednesday, themes from that papal message will be posted on Twitter each day during Lent and over the coming months other papal speeches and documents are likely to be tweeted in a similar way, hoping to attract the media-savvy generation and entice them to find out more.’” | Feb 22 23:06 |
