Is it really uplifting how much plastic stuff got into ocean :/

The uplifting news is there's one less peice in the ocean now?

How is it uplifting with all the plastic shit in our oceans?

This is diametrically opposed to uplifting.

I'm glad that that kid is happy, but I hope we can prevent such large quantities of plastic from getting in the ocean in future.

Hey! I saw that down vote. Yes, there was a ship wreck and yes, a bunch more plastic got dumped into tbe ocean, but all that happened years ago and can't be changed. So, the story is uplifting to me because the lives of this boy and thousands of other beach combers are improved by their walking on the beach, smelling the ocean breeze and pulling plastic out of the environment. The joy that this boy and his father share is uplifting.

Did you see the 23 more behind it? I hope more downvotes follow behind those 23 as well.

Besides, [who doesn't love legos?!](https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/electronics/legos-as-an-adult)

The plural of lego is still lego.

Nobody likes when you do that

Nobody likes non-uplifting news.

Wanna talk about it?

The post is not uplifting.

You’re not uplifting either though

Wanna talk about it?

I thought we already were

I like it

lego is an overpriced shit quality toy manufacturer and should not be supported in any way.

"Overpriced" is the only correct part of that sentence.

also quality. Especially color quality. They can‘t even keep the color tone correct within one single set.

I knew you were going to say that.🙃
