Can you not make that point without the ableism?

My best guess would be because the chocolate cookies don’t contain any chocolate, but rather just cocoa powder.

Might be the photo, but it looks to me like top is vanilla cookie with choc-chip, while bottom is chocolate cookie with choc-chip, making it “double” chocolate.

Definitely could be clearer, but I don’t think they’re making the claim you think they are.

So you’re annoyed that someone (who took the time to go to a charity shop, list the book online, and ship it to you) charged you the RRP for the book, that you didn’t have to buy from them?

I hope you have the same kind of energy for when mega-corporations charge anything from tens to thousands of pounds for products that often cost single pounds or even pennies to manufacture (due to underpaying for labour and materials that were in turn manufactured by underpaid labour as well), and the snowballing impact they have on the rest of the economy (by pricing out smaller companies, monopolising industries, avoiding tax, and so on).

The person you bought this from likely works for themsleves, trolling charity shops all day for bargains, and almost certainly pays tax on their income. I’m as anti-capitalist as they get, but even I can’t take issue with this. If they had charged you more than the RRP, sure, that’d pushing it, but if you didn’t want to pay full price, you should have spent your own time looking for the bargain. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Alas, no van, but plenty of spots to hold lighter fluid and stolen flyers as I roll away lol

This is far more than mildly infuriating, this is actively putting peoples lives at risk, it’s enraging and quite scary, and why disabled and other vulnerable people are continuing to be more isolated than ever.

Fuck this person and the bullshit they spread. I rarely leave the house, but if I did and someone handed me something like this I’d grab the whole pile and set it on fire, casually roll over their feet with my wheelchair on my way, too (E: actually, scratch that, I wouldn’t want to get that close to the disease vector, even with my mask on).

At least the model looks about as confused as the rest of us lol

both genders have issues that all stem from the same underlying problems (capitalism, healthcare, education).

How convenient of you to leave out patriarchy, which harms everyone, but benefits most men enough for them to refuse to fight against it.

All you have to do is actually finish reading their comment before you rush to make a reply that makes it obvious you didn’t:

Should there be a hotline for both cases? Yes.

Truth is, it doesn’t matter anyway, because over 90% of plastic isn’t being recycled.
This whole thing (the removable label to supposedly make the bottle more recyclable) is an exercise in futility and virtue signalling to the “green” demographic for profit, aka greenwashing.

Edit to be clear: the answer is to abolish capitalism, which is why all of this is happening in the first place.

I used it for a while but then one update it completely reset not only all my (many) open tabs, but also my history, so I couldn’t restore them. Not used it since…

For example, tap water in my city costs ~$0.04 per gallon, at 5 gallons per hour, 24 hours per day, for 5 years is $1,752. So saying they can make it for less than the cost of tap water doesn’t mean it’s affordable.

Or maybe the product just isn’t for you, but for people who pay significantly more for, or possibly don’t have access to drinkable tap water at all.

Ha, no worries. :)

I think you have misunderstood? Or have I missed a joke?
Either way - I’m on kbin, where votes are transparent, so I can see who the people that are staying quiet but upvoting racists are, and am letting them know it (and blocking them while I’m at it). I hope that clears things up?

I’m calling people racists for being racists.

The fact that you care more about being called a racist than the actual racism being discussed says it all.

Trying to shift the discussion to people you probably don’t give two shits about beyond using them as a debate tool does too.

At the end of the day, if being called a racist bothers you that much, just stop being one.

Looks like a couple of white supremacists from here would feel more at home there though (hey lurkers - from kbin we can see you upvoting the racist blowing their dog whistle, you can’t hide)…

I’m honestly surprised and shocked that Nazism is rising up again

Have people not learnt about and from the past?

or have you just not been paying attention? Nazism and fascism never went anywhere, and have been openly on the rise again for a significant while now, and those of us who it already impacts have been fighting them as best we can every step of the way. So maybe instead of pointing your finger at others, you should be asking yourself how this can possibly be taking you by surprise, unless you weren’t paying as much attention as you like to think you have…

Just fyi and not that it matters too much, but I’m pretty sure that if you have an instagram account, you’ve also got a threads account, even if you’ve never used or even seen it, that’s how they got “millions of new members” when they first launched…

Either way, this is gross, but I’m almost glad they’re going masks off to compete with xitter’s “free speech” because while this is definitely dangerous and scary, I’d rather those who feel the same actually see them for what they really are.

Lmao, imagine being that person, dying on this hill to tell you how wrong you are for… checks notes… buying a product as it was sold to you… 😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
