Please don’t say artisanal. That is a bullshit word. There is such a thing called speciality which is a technical term for coffee that is graded at 80-100 points. If you are using words like artisanal or gourmet, you are not knowable. Those in my opinion are bullshit words that make poor quality coffee sound fancy and super gross.

I only drink speciality.

Back in 2019 during the commodity crisis when the price was below a $1, they pretended to contribute lots of money to helping their farmers. The company publicly announced they were donating money to the farms they owned. That amount based on available financial data suggested that that money was equal to a single afternoon’s profits.

The point here is that Starbucks could have been contributing to the falling price of commodities, which they should have released more current financial data for. More transparency would have given a better idea if they were having a positive or negative impact. What this all boiled down to was simply saying what they paid their farms. If they did that, it would have been better.

No it is not.

Please don’t consume Starbucks. They have a reputation for buying from farms in Brazil and Guatemala that employe slave labor and child labor.

EDIT: Starbucks also abuses the Italian language. None of their drinks are what they claim to be. That mocha you had is too large to be a mocha.

If anyone says aliens, I’m just going to call you speciesist towards your own people.

To an outsider, yes that can be seen as bizarre. To someone who lives here, that is simply what they do.

Tobias Funke would like a word.

Preunion tour? They will do a tour in honor for reuniting before they break up?

I’m a 34-year-old male and I still love that song.

Now I’m expecting a Sesame Street episode where Keanu Reeves gives the lessons on how to be nice.

I think the most over the top thing Colbert did on that show was the episode on the funeral industry.

If Trump thinks this is genuine, then he really isn’t very bright.

Is the shooter a person of color? Seriously, ask yourself that. Likely that is the citing factor for someone coming up with fucking bullshit like this. When the shooter is white, the defenders of gun rights will point to mental health. The point I am making is that POC will be a used as a scapegoat to upturn causes in society for their actions while a white person is largely upheld by gun rights advocates as a sign of failure to address mental health.

Ironically I saw this ad last night.

I had a comment about Calvinball I was going to make… but I can’t recall the topic of the article I read years ago anymore that mentioned it.

🤦‍♂️ Biological sex.

All genders?

These really should be called sex reveals.

But how did you get a coconut in Europe?

Trantiveness is me.

Um… aren’t age ratings supposed to restrict sales in the first place?
