I think we've lost something with all this circuit board swapping

Fixing mechanical shutters used to be about skill. Now it's just swapping parts, and I think that's a step back. For example, on an old SLR, you could tweak each spring yourself.

Tbh it just creates more trash in landfills now.

You seen my kitchen trash can lately? I'm basically running a private landfill operation over here.

Used to think recycling was pointless too. Watched a documentary on how much plastic ends up in the ocean. Realized even a little effort beats adding to the pile.

My recycling bin is basically a fancy middleman for the landfill at this point. Put a greasy pizza box in there last week (oops) and now that whole bag is probably contaminated. Sometimes it feels like I'm just sorting my trash into two different piles that end up in the same place.
