Imagine working in an actual environmental impact assessment agency and get a call of some dipshit who wants to dump some berrys in a forest, and then trying to hold your laughter you charge them for the question AND THEY FUCKING PAY YOU.

    This is basically the essence of neolib "enviromentalism": pure performance for the benefit of the consumer that is supported by a long supply chain as wasteful as the normal option.

        When Dave came in for work and saw the "What is the environmental impact of dumping a few pounds of raspberries in the forest?" task on his desk he thought his colleagues were pulling another mean prank on him.

        I don't understand the wedding rehearsal thing. What is there to rehearse? You go to a church/city hall or whatever to get married. They guys there already know how to do it. Then you go have a party with your friends and family to celebrate, which doesn't take any effort either.

        What is there to rehearse?

            What do they rehearse? How to hold a fork and a knife?

          I went to one where the rehearsal was literally a rehearsal, like, making sure people in the actual wedding party knew the order they were walking down the aisle and shit. The couple were both in sweats, one of their aunties made a bunch of sandwiches for everyone to eat after, that was it. Ideal.

          I think it's just a nerves thing. Good to do a dry run for a process like that. Making a whole thing of it is weird. Just figure out where your marks and lines are.

      how many of their rich friends are flown into attend this garish display. How much energy is required to heat their mansions. Rich People Environmentalism is an oxymoron.
