    One single bag of glitter may not make a big difference, but each bag makes an equal contribution. Sure, regulation would be more effective, but in its absence the best way to prevent glitter production is to not buy any.

    This is absolutely causal btw. More glitter purchased -> shelves empty -> stores order more glitter -> producers make more glitter

        here’s another story, you can believe this one because it JUST happened:

        user posts stupid take -> I respond patiently -> user unveils their stupidity is astronomical and no amount of reason will help -> I feel dumb for wasting my time
