Comment Re: recycleable = can be burned (Score 1) 158

And a lot of plastic is just not economically viable to recycle because it degrades. There's an excellent Frontline documentary on the plastics industry with actual plastics industry documents talking about it all. Even Oregon the country's biggest recycler barely recycles any of the plastics placed into bins.

Comment Frontline Documentary on Plastics Industry (Score 1) 158

Frontline made a documentary on the plastics industry that is pretty interesting. It provides interviews with people in the industry and documentation charting out their plan to market economically infeasible recyclables and guilt the consumer into having to do the legwork.

Valid criticism. But in this case Apple published the fact that this method would be deprecated over two years ago and has been sending out warnings that people should change to the new API. Spotify has some kind of aversion to updating their codebase. They are still faking shuffling on playlists over 100 songs, and their group playlist function has been broken for at least four years.

Click the white 3D "ball" next to the user's ID number, and then mark them as a "Foe" so the ball turns red. Then go to your comment modifiers and apply a negative modifier to Foe in the People Modifier section. Then you can have their comments always suppressed.

This is the kind of knowledge that comes with a low 6 digit member number.
