It goes well with tortilla chips though

Cool lemme just build a train really quick to my work, great idea

Like I get what this is saying and all, and I will vote for anyone who supports this kind of thing, but telling me not to drive my car is not the solution.

This place is weird

I'm currently watching "The handmaid's tale." If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's basically the story of what happens when the right wing extremists get exactly what they want.

It is devastating and tragic, and also a very stark warning about what that future actually looks like.

These articles cater to the privacy centric, super user type people, which is totally fine, but we should remember that we are not the average user. We represent... basically an insignificant percentage of the user base.

Windows is not actually having a problem getting people to upgrade to Windows 11. There is a small minority of people who see the issues and are loud about it, but I guarantee that 95% will update when their computer tells them they have to update (when it does the "next time you restart we are doing it for you" thing).

Can you imagine if it was a triangle with only one correct way to plug it in?

Apologies to the shit alternative universe I just created

No.

Doing your own part as much as you are aware or capable is good, but if I were to try to avoid anything unethically sourced, I simply would not be able to participate in the modern world.

Do you use electricity? Do you have a cell phone? Have you ever used anything battery operated, like a flashlight? Have you ever eaten a hamburger? Have you worn a shirt?

Going around shaming people for things that are simply inevitably contributing to some unethical corporation is useless. We just need to agree that there is a problem, and do our best to make change.

I'm all for making personal commitments on topics you feel passionate about. But the fact is, that won't make a difference on the grand scale. Only through government action is that possible.

That's awesome! I think it's important to note, however, that the burden of change here is not on the individual. The average person is not an activist, and shouldn't be expected to be. Nestle knows that, too.

Change on this scale can only happen through government regulation.

I'm genuinely confused. Whole grain means higher fiber, which has a lot of benefits, compared to like white bread or something. Am I wrong?

Since when is rcs dead? More and more of the people I use texting with come "online" all the time.

Weird takes.

I'm currently watching a handmaid's tale. I know it's fictional but my love for Canada has increased while watching the show.

It would literally fix the problem. The problem was essentially fixed until China un-fixed it
