Some Youtuber complained about how the wording was to strong and would hinder companies abilities to make games or something.

Lot of people responded with “no you idiot, it’s just a petition it’s not legally binding, also why the hell are you spouting the boot licking arguments”

And more people have responded with “no actually it does legally required the EU to debate the topic at hand”

So now there is a buzzing mailstorm of “discourse” that is generally poorly informed. I suspect that some major media conglomerates might be doing astroturfing inflame the situation and muddy the waters.

Also a lot of this has been with from us Americans and Canadians, which is just kind of funny.

Oh absolutely, the mass produced stuff has just been so diminished in quality by the efforts to streamline, standardize and cost cut.

So much more can be done even with just vinegar pickles at home, using a more flavorful vinegar, using better quality vegetables, or just making some combination that isn’t widely available.

Brandish your sewing needle and thread in defiant opposition to the whims of the clothing industry.

Me looking at the shelf full of compressed freeze dried potato flakes with MSG, trying to imagine what the diffrence between “Philly cheese steak flavor pringles” and “cheese burger flavor pringles” could possibly be.

Or trying to figure out why this glass jar of tomatoes with basil is worth twice as much as this can of high quality tomatoes and a bottle of dried basil.

Or why there are 7 brands of paper towel, each with 2 varieties, each in 2 sizes of role, and with each coming in 5 different package sizes. Then looking at the system and realizing they all come from the same factory.

… it doesn’t have to be, but there is a strong correlation between increases in hormones normally elevated in women and a craving for pickles… so like… probably an enhanced demographic overlap.

Picklez is any food preserved in an acidic solution. But that acidity can be generated in many ways. Such as by adding stuff to an existing acidic solution, like vinegar, but also by creating an environment that consistently breeds safe microorganisms that will create an acidic environment and outcompete the icky microorganisms that make my tummy hort.

Truly you are the coolest though.

Third hand bursting from my chest like a xenomorph, “yah but what if my truth does not exist with in the binary and my discomfort from correcting others comes from me not being entirely sure that my assertion of gender identity is accurate”

Fourth hand slapping me across the face “ and what if that feeling is just a result of externalized pressures insisting that I can not fit an idealized notion of the concept I claim to be, or perhaps my uncertainty in what others view that concept as, and if I am improperly conveying that concept I am feeling to them due to our difference in understanding•”

Pickles are so good. Been experiment with pickling all sorts of things lately. Turns out, home pickling is shockingly easy, safe and versatile. It seems a bit sussy at first, but, assuming you got the salt to weight right, it’s basically bullet proof. And these pickles are so much tastier than the stuff at the store. Like, the lacto fermented stuff is just so much more complex than the vinegar stuff at the store.

Lmao, damn, trump seems really scared of this guy.

All the conservatives seem really scared of this guy.

Wonder why republicans might be scared of Democratic candidates left of dead center. Almost like a real alternative not slobbering out neoliberal, Chicago school of economics, nonsense could sweep them in a lot of traditional safe seats.

Or at least be really hard to rally their base against if their base actually hears what the policies are.

if that happened then usage number would drop, and that would undermine the narrative that these tools have mass appeal that can be monetized for huge revenue. That would then raise some uncomfortable questions about the absurd amounts of money being spent on developing them, building data centers to run them, and buying the glorified graphics cards needed for all that.

Like, all the people making money selling the shovels for the gold rush would have to explain why no one is finding any gold.
