Oh no, I was responding to the post itself. Point is, nobody really says white people *invented* racism or slavery, what matters is the scope and the long-term consequences. But it's easier to respond to "white people invented racism and slavery", a position nobody really holds, than address a more nuanced position, for example that some structures still remain from those times which further reinforce inequalities.

This would be a very nice argument if it didn't only address the strawmen you made in your head.

I think the point is to just not continue the tradition out of personal choice, not erase it altogether. Who knows how far back you'd have to go to continue with this logic.

I love that people are calling out this fake performative woke bullshit of these companies, especially when the same companies have all these skeletons in their closets. Case in point fashion companies tweeting #stopasianhate but their shit is made in China using unethical labor, including child labor.

That's why when you use it to make milkshakes or smoothies with dairy (milk, yogurt) you have to cook the pineapple first! Otherwise it'll make the milk go very bitter.
It doesn't just break up meat proteins, it breaks up proteins. So you leave your yogurt smoothie in the fridge overnight and in the morning it's bitter as hell. Yes, I'm talking from experience.

Oh wow I didn't even know about that. That even deepens the comparison with Apple. Now I wonder what Tesla's policy is on the Right to Repair...

Lol why is there a tennis racket in the girl's speech bubble? Are only girls allowed to play tennis?
(Yes, yes, I realize it's a mirror. But it only emphasizes the fact that gender roles are utter bullshit, doesn't it?)

Shouldn't it be oral? Y'know, since their mouths are open and... I'll see myself out.

Tesla isn't even that eco-friendly. The mining of heavy metals for batteries is terrible for the environment, and of course it is mostly done in China so it once again increases the West's dependency on a totalitarian country without human rights. And the batteries themselves don't usually last more than 10 years, unlike oil engines that, if taken care of properly, can go for decades. Not to mention the eco-friendliness of a Tesla heavily depends on where the country you're charging it in gets its power. If it's from renewable, eco-friendly sources, great. If it's from coal plants, not great.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no oil shill, I just think mining heavy metals to make batteries that won't last you more than 10 years isn't really the way to go, environmentally speaking. And for a long time I had a weird feeling about Tesla and Musk. It's like, more of a fashion company than a car company, in the same way Apple is more of a fashion company than a tech company. Y'know what I mean?

Right, yeah. I'm just saying if that's your go-to, something that can easily turn 180° and make you look even worse, you might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, y'know

Well said. My dream is to build a tiny house and fuck off into the wilderness. I don't need to be rich, especially when getting really rich usually requires exploiting other people and their labor.

Nah I'd still say it's pretty dumb to call someone ugly right after attempting to pursue them. I get they just want to hurt the person and maybe the insult is just akin to throwing a tantrum but this is such an easy insult to make a retort to given the circumstances, the only thing it'll do is make the person making the insult look like a total tool. I mean, there's a reason why "whatever you're ugly anyway" is pretty much a meme these days. Or the "nice guys" trope.

And also communist can mean whatever you want as long as you convince the public that something/someone is communist. Ah, the illusion of choice.

I admire her giving him another chance. If a guy just brought another date to our date, I'd just stop bothering with him. Why would I waste my time on such a dickbag?

So true! The "chromosome crowd" drives me mad. They learnt this simplified version in middle school and now they can't accept that actual biology is a lot more complicated. There are so many different chromosomal combinations, a lot of which aren't distinguishable by the naked eye from what we consider "normal", ie. XX and XY. For example XYY symptoms are above average height, acne prone skin and learning difficulties. Just off the top of my head I can name multiple individuals I know who might have it, or each of those symptoms can just be caused by something else.
The "gender = XX or XY" people use chromosomes as the end all be all because they don't want to admit they're just judging people by what they look like, which would make then have to admit gender is at least in part performative and not set in stone.
