If you or somebody you know ever fell for a romance scam, how did you or the person fall for it?
And when did you / the person you know realize he was scammed?...
Has anyone else ever set a special ringtone for that one boss you dread will call you? If so, what was it?
My last boss was labeled "THE FINAL BOSS" in my contacts. When she'd call, I felt sheer disappointment and dread when Sephiroth's theme, "One-Winged Angel" started playing.

This is quite exciting in that it removes plastic waste. I see no reason why different companies can't make different shape ones to maintain their lock-in. I expect a knock-off market to pop-up, but that exists with plastic pods too. It's a step in the right direction at least.
Is it greener to just burn plastic?
Just thinking in terms of compared to microplastics and toxins in recycled plastic.

Does enshitification happen because companies are publicly-traded?
Isn't that a prerequisite for enshitification? Publicly-traded companies are required (by law, I think) to maximize profits for their shareholders, even if that means utterly ruining their original product (Reddit, Boeing, etc.), yes? What do you think?
