Betteridge's law of headlines strikes again. If the headline is a question, then the answer is almost always "no."

Tony’s Chocolonely can’t even be certain

Tony's is really fucking good. And because chocolate is 100% a luxury good, I have absolutely no problem reducing my candy bar intake down to one or two expensive chocolate bars per year when I know that they're doing their best to fairly source their objectively superior product. And I make it last a week or two by using a ziploc bag. Tony's is best in small doses, and I prefer to pair it with a nice bourbon as dessert, but maybe that's just me being a bougie bitch.

For anybody just casually interested but with lesser needs than OP, I bought a 65W supply to replace a phone charger I forgot at a hotel and I've been very happy with it. Don't just buy a single port replacement if you fuck up at check out like I did lol. Here's what I bought: https://a.co/d/2TKDE2G and it's $40 right now.

It has 3 ports total, 2 USB C and 1 USB A. The only issue is that it doesn't come with cables, so I also bought a 3 pack of 2m USB C to USB C cables. No complaints.

Idk, I'm pretty sure trump is gonna get at least fifty million votes in less than 3 months, probably closer to eighty million like last time. He's obviously a fascist piece of shit that's falling apart and frothing at the mouth, but he's still wildly popular with like 30% of voters, and like 40% of voters tend to not show up, flip a coin, or just go by name recognition. A shitload of people are not paying attention. This election will be really close, despite what an absolute dumpster fire that dingleberry incarnate is. I think it would be incredibly foolish to get too comfortable while so much is at stake. The guy is still threateningly popular with a large and passionate base, just like Elvis in his later years.

Even if it weren't an expired trial for Disney+ though. I think it's incredibly unreasonable that an agreement to arbitration related to your streaming service should apply to restaurant liability. No reasonable person would believe that they should check the clauses of their Paramount+ contract before eating a Sonic the Hedgehog chili dog from the spot in the park next to the aaahh real monsters log flume ride. If we decide that that's how we should legally be living, then it's absolutely time to rip subsidiaries out of the hands of parent companies. When there are only like 6 companies in the world, there is no legitimate competition. I reject the logical conclusion to this strategy, which is that we are cash cow consumers, paying a subscription for company membership to continue being alive and waiving all personal freedoms and choices.

It's way past time to break up these gigantic conglomerates. But better late than never.

But also, cops like having an excuse to violently punish their comrades. So they're happy with whoever gave them that excuse, billionaire or not.

For my entire lifetime, there's been an obvious trend of Republicans absolutely fucking the economy and then Democrats cleaning up the mess. Anybody who trusts trump more than Harris in this topic is incapable of pattern recognition, even if trump were "one of the good ones" if you believe such a thing exists. It just so happens that he is particularly terrible on every topic, including the economy, but even if he weren't, any modern Republican would still be poison for the American economy.

I've never asked so I can't say for sure that it's not impossible, but I've personally never heard a couch speak. Therefore, I'm not sure any couch is capable of consent. Ergo, all couch fucking is couch rape.

I was talking with a coworker the other day and they were talking about how raising minimum wage causes inflation because businesses will raise prices to offset to rise in labor costs. I asked if he thought inflation had gotten bad in the past 5ish years in particular. He said of course. I said well federal minimum wage hasn't risen since 2009, which was 15 years ago, so it sounds like inflation is gonna happen regardless of wages and is based on the capitalistic goal of infinite growth, so maybe we should raise minimum wage so lower income people have a shot at affording basic necessities.

He just said no, then inflation just would've been worse. It's maddening.

As a white guy with a beard in a blue collar industry, I'm shocked at what strangers will just assume I'm cool with hearing out of their mouths. They truly have no shame anymore. It's fucking wild.

As a kid, I was in the room at one point while my mom was watching some TV show, maybe law and order or something similar. I heard somebody letting somebody else know (verbally) the details of some victim and described the cause of injury or death or whatever as "GSW". I asked my mom what GSW meant. She said "gun shot wound". I said that that couldn't possibly be right, and she was curious why. I said because "gun shot wound" is 3 syllables and "GSW" is 5; it's literally quicker to say the full thing.

So yeah, GSW is fucking stupid when said aloud, and even me as a dumbass child knew that.

I'm surprised by this. Pleasantly surprised. This is a slap on the wrist for show, but it's more than the nothing I was expecting.

I'd be pretty pissed if somebody like my regional manager grabbed my head and kissed my lips because I did well at my job. Even moreso if it were extremely public and there were no repercussions for him. Extremely pissed off if it happened to be in a monopolized industry where my company stands alone and I could be blacklisted for not being okay with the kiss. This wasn't just shitty for women's soccer, and it wasn't even just shitty for women; this was shitty for every person who has felt pressured to choose between themselves and pleasing somebody who holds power in some regard. Whether it's parents, partners, coaches, teachers, bosses, etc, that power is used to exploit the comfort and safety of millions every day, so it's really important that such a public instance of it be taken seriously.
