I did say fuck Nestle, didn’t I? I’m not really trying to advocate for them just from reading that excerpt I would be interested to know how much the company and its reps really knew about the drinking water situation.

Like, I’m very certain they didn’t do anything to help or to combat the problem, just curious if it was something they knew about and how it was handled. I can say for sure they’re evil and should have helped. It’s just I am thinking about who knew what and how much.

I guess it’s more of a thought and less of a defending them because I am not a big nestle fan. Although I do love their chocolate milk mix, reminds me of my childhood so I occasionally buy it because I’m a bad guy.

To play (actual) devil’s advocate … Is it Nestle’s fault the drinking water was unclean that was mixed with the formula?

That’s where I would say the whole, who’s responsible part of the equation gets fucky. To be clear, nestle should have done more to combat this and not have pushed formula feeding where they knew the water could be bad.

I’m not a fan of them by any means and would definitely need to read more and definitely know they’re evil (fuck I mean I’m pretty sure every large enough corp is evil, hell most of the small ones too) but it still gives me pause when it’s presented.

Just so I’m unequivocal here - nestle is bad and fuck them.

It’s just a US person that’s paranoid.

Besides who the fuck is gonna sue the park they’re literally trying to clean up if they hurt themselves? And the park ain’t suing them unless their “maintenance” is observed and really donks stuff up.

Moving some brush and debris off a trail, nobody would complain or get in trouble in reality.

Giant caveat that is only for white dudes.

I know that’s why I thought it was funny! Got to find the humor in this mess right now. Hoping we can right the ship but right now Trump is steering us into an ice berg full speed ahead

Regular people are dumb af they elected that orange shit stain while he spit in our faces.

So I’m not really confident they’re gonna connect any dots.

Funny you think they’re going to actually pay down the debt.

That article is really fuzzing up the definition of “poop,” I’d argue over half those entries are just how the thing poops weirdly. I guess if you get into semantics it may be technically true but I just consider pooping to be eliminating bodily waste so to me that whole article is like, “look how oddly these things poop.” 😅

Humans won’t ever go extinct save some absolute batshit scenario that wipes the world completely clean of all life, give or take.

We’re too resourceful and we like fucking too much for humans to go extinct but it could be a pretty bleak existence for the human race at some point.

Maybe in our lifetime we will see an expansion of Medicare to be a single payer system for all Americans as a publicly available option (ie: the minimum standards other insurance would need to meet to be competitive).

That would be nice. Idk I’m just hopeful in like 25 years we may see some real change ushered in when it comes to that. Probably very naively hopeful but I have to at least occasionally believe in a better future.

It’s almost like there’s this loud vocal minority that companies keep ignoring because they keep making money doing what they’re doing. Like if it wasn’t profitable and predictable I’m pretty sure publishers would stop what they’re doing.

When it comes to video games, idgaf if someone wants to give a game dev thousands of their own dollars because they want to pay an idiot tax.

It’s a free market, and we’re all free to just not play the fucking game. Actually that’s the default so just doing nothing is plenty.

I get what you’re saying but we’re not talking about groceries here, we’re talking about something that could literally cease to exist and aside from some folks maybe being out of work nobody would even notice or care. I do agree though that strong regulation is much better than expecting consumers to stop consuming something as long as it’s a necessary thing or something with quite inelastic demand (ie: medicine).

Hopefully all 3 but as the other poster said, Nazis really were clowns.

Sure, Hitler had some early successes militarily - combined arms blitzkrieg was a new deal and effective - but it’s not like that won the war. Besides which there is just so much dumbass occult bullshit going on in the background with the Nazis like you would not believe.

You don’t need to be smart or super competent to get a bunch of people killed. You just need enough people willing to pull the triggers and for the rest of the people to go along. Going along is easy until it ends with shit like the Holocaust.

No war but class war, not disagreeing there, but also it’s pretty clear there are policy changes and consequences for our elections.

I guess that’s the drawback of positioning yourself as an alternative to the US that doesn’t interfere with foreign politics.

That right there is why I’m really worried about the next 4 or more years right now as a citizen of the USA. Like, we’re just going to create this power vacuum through dumbass Don’s executive fun time and China will happily exploit that and lap up the material rewards.

I feel like I’m watching a game of Civilization get played by a moron. It’s excruciating. Only way any of it makes sense is that Trump literally is a Russian agent because otherwise why the fuck is he trying to drive our country off a cliff?

They won’t give you a source because that would require them to have one.

Boo

How is that not what I wrote?

!this should be a spoiler!<

Wonder where that is, the OP of the content from 2022 on his twitter profile says he’s from San Francisco area. Would be cool to find out what the place is.

Thank you for the lengthy write up. You see though the problem with watching it all is I’d be watching it all… I do appreciate the time it must have taken for this reply though.

That clip on YouTube you linked was super cringe. Agree with you on TNG there’s definitely times and episodes where I think the writers phoned it in and I’m not going to pretend it’s all good. Still my favorite star trek but I don’t watch much so that’s not saying anything considering I haven’t even seen any of the new stuff.
