Going to be real with you, avoiding plastic in this day and age is like trying to avoid hitting any bugs while you're driving, and I say that knowing that plastic is technically an animal product. Obviously, I don't want people to eat a credit card worth of microplastics every day, but it's impossible to avoid it altogether. It's used for pretty much every food packaging, furniture, clothes, decor, appliances, cars, and toy on the market. I'm sure you know how hard it is to avoid from personal experience. I try to be as vegan as I can, given the circumstances of the plastic age, but ultimately oil made of ancient dead animals is still preferable to ongoing and unnecessary animal cruelty today.
While I do tend to avoid pleather clothes because most of it sheds in a couple of years or less and is generally too warm for the environment I live in, if my partner or I really need a raincoat for some reason it'll probably be made of some sort of plastic. We're indoor nerds that don't really camp or have physically demanding jobs so that works for us. One of us commutes to the bus, and a simple raincoat gets the job done. I personally use umbrellas and those are made of metal and... yeah, plastic. I guess I could wear big hats more often if I wanted to stop using umbrellas. Most of the time we'll either layer up or avoid the outdoors altogether... or just get wet lol. It happens sometimes.
If you've got the money, there are alternatives to both leather and pleather, although they tend to be on the more expensive and experimental side, such as apple leather, mushroom leather, and cactus leather. There are also vegan wools and cashmere out there, but they can be expensive at full price. If you need vegan work boots you probably will have to save up for them. TBH I don't think good quality work boots have gotten any cheaper over the years, so you might have to save for new ones regardless. On the bright side, vegan friendly furniture, clothes, and purses have been on the market for a few years and can be purchased second hand if you spend enough time tracking them down. Purchasing second hand is also very helpful for seeing how well a particular vegan material has aged. I have gotten several pairs of goth boots via trading and thrifting this way. Development on these new materials is overall hopeful, but it could still be a few more years before it becomes mainstream. It would certainly be a lot more hopeful if capitalism were toppled, but, well... you could say that about pretty much everything nowadays.
If I were to give them the benefit of the doubt, this would be about movies and shows that come with built-in ads (characters holding cokes, too much focus and glaze on a specific car, ect).
But they don't deserve that so expect the worst. I heard there's a certain bay online that's always open to visitors.
Yeah, I'm asking about neocities websites mostly. I got curious after watching this youtube video. (Hopefully the bot puts up a safer link).
I've heard that it can also be called the small web or the old web. Basically just a small group of people making their own HTML and CSS websites, the most popular ones made from scratch. Rather than relying on google
for search results, you just keep clicking links to reach new websites like people did roughly 20 years ago. For those that haven't experienced that before, it's like going down a wikipedia rabbit hole, but fun and not just a way to procrastinate on finally writing that paper, pogchamp.
My partner and I have made our own drink stand at home, including different flavors of bulk sugar free syrups, and it’s significantly reduced the amount of teas and coffees we’ve bought while out. Sometimes we’ll even bring our own drinks into a restaurant, unless the owner catches you they typically don’t give a fuck.
I’m even planning on rotating the syrup flavors to more or less match trending seasonal flavors. Next month is V-Day theming so we have strawberry and white chocolate.
Not sure if I've accidentally stepped into horny posting (uh oh, stinky) or if some guys just really really want everyone to know that they're not libertarians.
