> I have a coworker who makes a birthday board for our office every month and always uses glitter. There is now just permanently ingrained glitter on the desk, on the phone, on the floor, on everything. No amount of lysol or mopping or whatever else will get it. Infuriating.

> Plastic bags have been banned at most places for years where I live (Santa Cruz, CA). Only paper bags are available (with very few exceptions), and they cost 25 cents. But I reused plastic bags all the time. Not so with paper bags, which often break during first use. I shoved plastic bags in my purse and didn’t have to remember to carry them in to the store like standard reusable bags. I’d get 5+ uses out of them. They also double as a handy bag you can stuff in your pocket when hiking, in case you come across any tasty mushrooms (a common occurrence for me!). But glitter? I see that very rarely. Unless the ‘90s-style face glitter I used as a preteen has come back into fashion (which it may well have; I don’t know any teenagers).

> It's certainly true that the use of plastic products, including greeting cards and wrapping paper, can contribute to the problem of plastic pollution. Microplastics, which are small plastic particles that are 5 millimeters in size or smaller, can be found in a variety of products and can end up in the environment, where they can have negative impacts on wildlife and ecosystems. Reducing our use of plastic products can help to mitigate this problem.

> It's very simple: Russia gets the hell out of Ukraine, and returns Ukraine's borders to where they were in 1991. That's step 1 for any peace talks. Next, all Russian assets seized abroad will be given to the Ukrainian government for Ukraine to rebuild, and there is nothing Russia can say or do about it. That's step 2. Step 3, which is the hardest and unfortunately least likely to happen, is all the Russians guilty of war crimes stand trial in international court. It's not rocket surgery. Russia doesn't get to negotiate. They have the terms dictacted TO them, not the other way around. That's what happens when you are losing. EDIT: Responding to the coward below who responded then instantly blocked me: If Russia doesn't agree, then the war continues. Under no circumstances should Russia be allowed to keep any of Ukraine's land. If they are, all that does is create positive feedback and encourages them to do this again. Russia needs to learn, with no uncertainty, that all they managed to accomplish was getting 100k of their men killed, wrecked the economy, strengthened NATO, and turned most of the world against them.... All for nothing. Russia has zero leverage. They are losing, and will continue to lose. They can either lose Ukraine and another 100k of their men and countless vehicles, ammunitions, etc while their economy suffers, or they can cut their losses and end it now.

> To a degree they'll consider it a good thing, since they're using it as an excuse to remove 'undesirables' from their population. Clearing out prisons and minorites and politically problematic people from their population. A lot of the people who would have the inclination and the resources to resist the regime used those resources to get the fuck out, and the ultra nationalist types who are counterintuitively the next largest internal threat are being fed into the meat grinder to their own cheers. It's like, truly awful from a humanitarian perspective, and pretty fucking bad from a long term view for Russia, but if you're an old rich fuck at the top of the pyramid, there's a certain fucked up logic to it.

> This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 84%. (I'm a bot) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's "Peace formula" as a basis for talks, outlining three conditions that Moscow will not accept.

> Glad to see they've given up on "De-nazification" and outright murdering the president of Ukraine? Weren't those the objectives? Now it's about land? How shifty are these goalposts? Does Putin even know what he wants or is he just snatching up everything he can and murdering Ukrainians indiscriminately like some sort of monster? How is shooting missiles at hospitals and bombing women and children huddled in the basement of a theatre related to these objectives? Or does he just mass murder people to make them afraid? Nobody is going to negotiate with that treacherous fuck. This ends only when he is dead or in prison, and possibly not even then. But it's the only realistic starting point.
