We also cover wood in hydrocarbons to stop it from being broken down, if a bacteria can break down long hydrocarbon chains we are kind of fucked

Reddit might be bad but the garbage rage baiting and algorithms designed to show you the dumbest takes on twitter and threads is sooo much worse in my opinion
That charity doesn’t pay him a salary, the worst you could say it does is pay for hotels/airfare/food (that I am not even sure if the gates foundation does for him) but even if it did it would be a fraction of the money like when I say a fraction I mean less than 0.0001% so like paying a tax rate of 99.9999%. You keep talking about PR but what is the PR for? Because again you could get much better PR for an absolute fraction of the price.
Like for the same reason no billionaires should exist because a billion dollars is unfathomable a billion dollars could pay for so much stuff that funneling it through a legit charity is just not worth it.
I have personally got a grant approved by the gates foundation to help fund clean water in El Salvador which is why I am taking this somewhat personally. Like you can talk shit about bill gates but there is no way that he is just as bad as other billionaires like musk
He isnt doing it for the tax break… like think about that logically if he normally spends 10m a year then he pays taxes on that 10m if he sells 100B of stock and donates it he doesn’t have to pay taxes on the amount he donates but still is out the 100B.
There are degrees of evil, a person who spits on a person is not as bad as someone who kills a person. A billionaire who feels bad as he ages and tries to give that money to charity is not as bad as someone using that money to fund Nazi groups.
Like I am not saying spitting on people is okay but to lump someone who spits on people with someone who kills a persons as “no better than the others” is wrong and if anything we should be encouraging more billionaires to donate their money as it’s at least better than them hoarding it
It’s a chance for you to explain what you were doing. If you spent that time taking time off between jobs because a job fell through, you got laid off, you quit spontaneously, etc those are all very rational things that an employer may want to know.
It’s up there with innocent questions like “where did you work before here”, and “do you have reliable transportation “

You can say something like “I was attending to personal matters” that still gives no information but doesn’t come off as rude to what could be an innocent question
BussyCat@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through CollegeEnglish0·13 days agoIt’s always been possible to cheat your way through school but as more and more people start cheating it just is going to further worsen the quality of college graduates
And that’s how you don’t get a call back
That’s the inside their head conversation the actual words would be a boiler plate rejection letter
It depends on the context if you say you had an NDA and can’t elaborate at all on the details that’s a clear red flag as most NDAs you can at least give the context of what it is about I.e. specific job processes, witnesses an event, etc.
If you say you worked for X company but can’t talk about the details of your work because of an NDA then that’s fine but they might call your old employer to verify you did really work there.
So if you are given the option to steal $5 from an orphan or allow 10k people to be slaughtered and if you don’t choose it goes to 50% chance on which one happens you choose to make no choice so you don’t have to choose evil?

BussyCat@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Vitamin technology has advanced so much over the years0·16 days agoVitamins are barely regulated and don’t have to pass the standard of “generally recognized as safe and effective”. Because of that we don’t even have a ton of data on the effectiveness of multivitamins, but one of the things that we do know is most of the vitamins are just pissed out because they need cofactors to be properly absorbed. If you truly can’t get nutrients from a healthy diet then they are better than nothing but healthy diet is still the number one priority.
Doctors sometimes recommend them because “they can’t hurt” but that doesn’t mean they are actually helpful

You are making a bunch of disjointed statements and I’m literally just tying to get you to connect the dots. If people are misinterpreting you have you considered you are not being clear?
BussyCat@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means you're threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices.0·21 days agoAnd that makes logical sense to me that’s why I was surprised by the other commenter
BussyCat@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means you're threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices.0·21 days agoBut especially reusing things should be a priority if you are broke right? Like that’s a way of saving money
BussyCat@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Only people with money don't understand that being morally just while poor means you're threading a needle through a litany of only bad choices.0·22 days agoSo you listed a bunch of things that make sense for illegal things you might have to do in order to acquire food but just because you are poor why can’t you recycle?
It’s also run by people vetted by the school who are also employees so they generally have other responsibilities and then the service doesn’t generate a profit. Which is a long way of saying it’s not even remotely close to being the same
And how do you keep the wood from being exposed to moisture without petroleum derivatives? Like technically it is possible but to build enough homes to that standard for even 1/1000 of the population is unreasonable
