Oh, for fuck’s sake.
I’m not advocating for the system. I’m just suggesting a way the money could do the greatest good.
Money can buy political change. That shouldn’t be true, but it is.
If you’re so hungry for a target to be mad at that you imagine them like this, maybe it’s time to take a little break.
Bro. Don’t call them “females”.
If anything he should have invested it into effecting political change. But that other person is right; it’s never good enough for you.
In addition to all that, Jesus has some really specific things to say about how to treat foreigners. A lot of his teachings are open for interpretation, but that one is pretty clear.
I’m enthusiastically not a Christian, but as I get older (or maybe as the world gets more fucked up) I’m starting to appreciate that there’s some value in the teachings. And I’m of the opinion that voting for Donald Trump was absolutely incompatible with Christianity.
To actually answer your question: it’s because they’re hypocrites. The same kind of hypocrites that are mentioned in the Bible.
The high cost is an issue, but I don’t know what you’re talking about with declining quality. It’s still fantastic quality.
The plastic used to make Lego is a byproduct of fossil fuels. It won’t stop being added to the environment until we get off of fossil fuels. It’s not like Lego is digging up oil just to make toys.
They’re also actively searching for renewable plastic alternatives. Like, it’s a huge initiative for them.
In the meantime they just recently started a recycling program where they buy back old bricks, with the stated purpose being their concern for what happens to the plastic when it’s no longer being used.
If you’re looking for a toy company that’s conscientious about their impact on the environment, you’d have a hard time finding better than Lego.
This isn’t a great look, but calling Lego “evil” is a bit of a stretch. This was one report that has no bearing on how they run their company or how they interact with their customers.
They still support and promote diversity in their products, which is where it matters.
Yes, that’s what I meant. They’d most likely be getting much higher than 55% of their calories from ultra processed foods.
A better example might have just been to say that a simple garden salad with a light Italian dressing is 60% “ultra processed” if you go by the calories.
Not to mention this says 55% of their calories. If you eat salad for lunch four days a week, and the fifth day you eat a hot dog, you just got 55%+ of your calories from ultra processed foods.
And that’s salad without dressing. So not even realistic.
I’m sure it’s worth it to try to do better, but honestly 55% doesn’t sound that bad to me.
Fun story: I once watched a lone star tick crawl into the headphone jack of my phone. After trying for hours to get it out, I did two google searches:
What eats ticks?
Guinea hen mating sounds.
Thirty seconds later, it crawled out.
I’ve always said that having ADHD is like being a superhero’s alter ego.
You’re always late, falling behind, or not mentally present, and you can never tell people the real reason.
“Um… There was a disturbance.”
Except instead of the real reason being that you were saving someone, it’s that your brain sucks.
I noticed that trend in my red state a while ago. So many Reagans and Jacksons. One time my kid had a Stallone in her class.
Has to be Charles Oakley. They want her to grow up to be an enforcer in the WNBA.
Ugh. Fucking Oakleys. The worst.
As a parent in a red state, I’ve noticed way more last names as first names than what I grew up with. This seems to match that trend.
I live in Texas right now.
The list of states I’d move to continues to shrink.
It’s funny because peanut butter, jelly, and bacon go so well together. Throw a little banana in there and fry it up, and you’ve got a Fat Elvis.
I think PB&J is just in a different category. I could eat them literally every day and never get tired of them, and I’ve heard the same from most other adults and children I’ve talked to about it.
My brother never liked peanut butter growing up, so he’d eat cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. I don’t feel the need to say that in a way that expresses disdain, because I imagine it’s impossible to read that sentence without the disdain being implied.
Anyway, doesn’t really matter. You do you.
I know objectively that it doesn’t matter, but I’m finding it really hard not to judge you as a person.
I assumed my kids would love games, but they’re just not that interested. I got my six-year-old obsessing over one of the UFO 50 games, at least until she couldn’t progress any further, but for the most part toys are just way more exciting.
