It's all well and good, unless you live in a fascist left wing area like Seattle...where instead of education and recycling, they'd rather control you and ban them instead, so that they can opt for taxation without representation.

Occasionally TFD threads are totally worth it and I miss them. Unfortunately, I am not clever enough to frequently generate sponsorships. I am biding my time until TF fills up with more people who have no idea who Mitch Hedberg was and I'll start slipping his bits into my comments here on the main page hoping to snag sponsorships before getting flamed by farkers who know who he was.

Subby, you probably sent an email to someone about this through Gmail. They search all the text in your inbox for advertising purposes.
I think this for a fact, since I started getting served up ads for my enforced Bulgarian transvestite pasta fetish only after I sent that email off to BulgarFettuciniShemales.com.
The more you know!

If you stuff with plastic bags, it's going to sound like you're wearing a diaper.

On one of my gmail accounts, the one I only use with close friends, I keep getting ads in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish, haven't emailed anything that would trigger the ads, etc.
One of life's little mysteries, I guess.

Not exactly. I mean, yes, it's better to never use them in the first place. But if you're using plastic grocery bags in place of, say, small trash bags for your bathroom bin, you're cutting down on the amount of plastic you're using.
It's definitely not
great
, but it's better than sending them straight to the landfill.

I don't pay for it, but when I've been gifted it I love to see the submission queue. There are some great articles that never get greened.
I've been in TFD but most of the conversation in there seemed really cliquish. The sense of humour and snark wasn't the same in there as out here either. I can't really say I enjoyed the experience, although perhaps if I got to know some of the people better it would make a difference.
Overall, I enjoy having TF but it's not something I'd pay $5/mo for. I have most of my fun on the main page.

I always wonder how TFD threads are. Like, is it some fancy elite club that is worth $5/mo that I can't spend? Is there a special hat? Maybe there should be a hat.
Ps- not whoring. Just at home sick and druggy.

Any rich ones my age who would like to sponsor me? I have 3 different sob stories detailing why I can't afford TF atm, and why I restrict my social activities to the internet atm as well. I'm 42, 6'3" and 220lbs of great big naiive softy trapped in a coarse, meany's body.

They can be rough on the liters, but they don't make you do THAT.

our fair city (long beach) banned plastic grocery bags last summer (they charge ten cents a bag for paper ones). they used to have a recycle bin for plastic bags at the store, so we'd return most of em; the others we used em for dog sh*t, mostly - i have no problem using cloth shopping bags to carry stuff home from the market, and the dog has no problem with me using small sandwich bags to clean up his pathetic little chihuahua dumps...

Great idea! Stop using plastic grocery bags at the store, and buy plastic bags to use to collect garbage around the house.
