I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society).

* you can sell prescription pills to one another but only on "whacked out wednesday"
* if you're a lawyer you have to start every post regardless of subject with "as a lawyer,"

I’m not sure if you can reduce your carbon footprint by recycling the same material over and over, but by god, some of you are trying really hard.
