Not the kind of "aggressive pro-state" we needed, but the "pro-state" we deserved.
You can always try to memorize some key phrases, like:
"did you see that ludicrous display last night?"
If you buy from some small Latin American or Asian brand there's a decent chance they might not be involved with child labor (but never any guarantee). For large brands, however, there's just no way to get enough cocoa without them putting a lot of work and resources into ensuring it is "clean". And they don't.
Black Sails was the best action show that nobody watched.
And I can say that with all the confidence of someone who never watched any other action show.
From time to time I get a ride from someone at work I have zero interest of becoming friends with. In those rides I get glimpses of a complete different reality where he and his friend group lives. It is horrifying and it completely matches the description of the parent comment.
For some people it is pretty common. For others, it isn't. The thing is: the people that treat it as a common everyday thing expect that to be the case for everyone - so if you interact with them routinely, you'd probably think that everybody is out to cheat at all times, but that's definitely not the norm.
I've never used drugs, but I wouldn't work for a place who would ask about it.
There is no customer involved.
- They place an order and pay for it
- They force the order to be assigned to one of the drivers
- Driver claims the order is delivered
- Doordash pays the driver
- They overwrite the data so that it goes back to step by 2.
- They "deliver" and get paid for the same order hundreds of times.
Books were probably red, but it takes a while to identify something like this.
I get that a lot with all kinds of services. Specially digital stuff. And for MMOs it is more common than not.
Recently the Path of Exile game stopped letting me purchase cosmetics because they changed their payment processor and the new one doesn't like my email address.
By the way, the study you mentioned had several issues, but one very important issue in specific touches the point you made: the study only had controlled groups for 14 months. After that they continued doing check ups on people but the data was pointless because they didn't know what the patientes were taking. The claim that the meds stopped working after a while was made by the NYTimes article only and it's based on not understanding this point.
Tbh I recommend assuming that anything you read in that NYTimes is probably wrong - the study behind it was ok-ish but the conclusions that the NYTimes made based on it are all over the place. And "surprisingly" the article also 100% agrees with several false talking points about ADHD that the church of scientology has been making since the 80s.
