I think I’ve seen Spongebob’s Patrick looking like that.

That’s actually digital patina.

This gets even better when you know that it’s an early one. Prophetic!

cat in conservative suit 👍

And the people who aren’t precise enough about it are usually out to ridicule people who do care about the ecosphere.

No. I’m just old enough to remember that they did change for very similar reasons.

Me neither.

That said, up until they changed it, those metal flaps for opening beverage cans were a serious problem, and I could imagine that many consumers are less considerate than me wrt plastic caps as well.

It’s just a small part of the ongoing enshittification of real life products, and this one’s well-intentioned at least.

Now I seriously wonder what voice it talks in. Just the standard, bland stuff?
Or like Hal 9000 maybe? I’m not sure the K.I.T.T.s voice was all that memorable.
I hate to admit it, but I think I would actually like some very Elony choices. Unless he’s removed all vestiges of being a hapless nerd and only thinks in ragebait nazi anymore.

Not that I ever wanted one of his, or in fact any talking car.

The caps are not attached to reduce our carbon footprint but to reduce overall pollution. I don’t like when people paint over such issues with a too-broad brush.

Also what idiocy did Me-me-me-lon come up with now?

It would bother me too.

But not to the point of withdrawing my support, assuming their business has nothing to do with IT and AI otherwise.

Doing your posters with AI nowadays is the same as using ClipArt+ComicSans in days of yore.
OK, it’s not exactly the same. So then I’d have explain it to them. “Forgive them for they know not what they do.”

That said, I rarely support business just because it’s local and small. There needs to be at least one more reason. I have seen too many local & small businesses & owners that exploit and pollute and corrupt just like their big counterparts.

This is 100% real estate agent lingo.

Tax is not a punishment.

Are you replying to the wrong person? I specifically pointed out that they were thinking about something else.

Hardly. If the alcohol tax on a bottle of wine is €5 and the bottle is sold for €10, that’s a pretty steep price. If the bottle is sold for €100 or even more, it’s nothing.

But I understand that you were probably thinking about companies calculating spending & sales.

Even the countries that do this employ all sorts of edge case rules not to make it too fair.

Well, at least my country does. One of those famous Northern European “Socialist” countries.

TBF: both rich and poor people pay luxury tax (tobacco, alcohol etc.) - but such taxes always affect low income people more.
