Author rests the entire argument on ignoring the cumulative effects of individual use on a large scale. Whole lotta writing for such a small idea.

By the same logic, it follows:

IC engines are not bad for the environment.

Consuming meat is not bad for the environment.

A single vote has no effect on the outcome of an election.

One official taking a bribe isn’t a big deal.

pitiful, abject nonsense

It’s pretty harsh, bud.

Ive noticed its kindof endemic in poetry to put unhelpful line breaks which have more to do with visual consistency than any consideration of meaning. Imagine trying to read some of this stuff out loud to an audience. You can easily tell which poets considered how their poetry would be read when they were writing this way, not just how it felt coming out (which, to be fair, is quite important). Tends to be one of the marks of a better poet, but such consideration is neither required nor sufficient for good poetry it has to be pointed out.

Wetness is an illusion. An artificial category imposed on what we call reality by our minds. Which are also illusory. Everything is an illusion. It’s all as meaningful and purposeful as the patterns dust makes in a whirlwind. That’s all we are- dust in the wind. Everything is dust in the wind.

Don’t tell me how to live my life.

It’s a bold new look.

What if I read, write, and shitpost memes, but don’t enjoy it? Am I still invited?

I think it’s just filtered/blurred to cover up a low resolution?

Thanks for your valuable and insightful contribution. I look forward to hearing from you again very soon.

What are you seeing?

Wow! I wouldn’t have expected anywhere near that disparity!

Edit: and thanks for taking the trouble to look it up, too. How did you find that? Was it written somewhere or did you have to do a calculation?

how much by mass?
