It was more or less a throw away comment pointing out that rich people and corporations don't get legally held accountable for the same transgressions the same way normal people do.

Rules for thee but not for me with this crap is getting tiresome.

Dude, I 100% get what your saying.

Unfortunately what your asking of people requires personal sacrifice, and people will mentally go all over the place to resist that.

A personal anecdotes is that I'm no longer in contact with my family because I refused to see my racist grandfather on his deathbed and didn't attend his funeral.

My grandfather was an abusive, literal stereotype of a racist(would say things like "them n-words down the road are fucking up this town") and a raging alcoholic. The world is better because he's fucking dead. Now I don't have a family of origin because I wouldn't pretend he was a good person.

Men will lose friends and family if they start calling this shit out. It's hard. You get told to "mind your business" or "it's just a joke " or get your masculinity questioned. Or the whole "but they're family" thing. I get why people resist it. No one wants to lose their social support, but often that's what it comes down to, and they'll make it feel like you're the one who's in the wrong the whole time.

Social pressure is a hell of a thing. I think framing the context around why men don't call this stuff out will help them recognize why they should.

Guess they'll have to shut down reddit since they have their analytics boosted by large amounts of bot activity.

The whole point of advertisers paying reddit for ad space is so people will see the ads.

Also it's good to let people know because dogs absolutely love that shit and you have to be careful to keep it out of areas dogs can get at it.

I worked in a green house and one customer's dog dug up an entire tree she planted to get at the blood meal she put in the bottom of the hole. Dog was okay, but needed to stay at the vets a few days to monitor the vomiting and their iron levels.

Even more environmentally friendly if you eat your enemies first, then drink from their skulls! It's the ultimate trifecta of saving the environment. Depopulation, less factory farmed meat consumption, AND using less plastic.

It's harder to tell with all the filters that exist now...which makes people look like they had cosmetic surgery.

Anyone with education in facial anatomy can usually tell though. Parts of the face just look "off" with certain procedures.

For example cheek fillers/implants are very obvious to me. Brow lifts too. They dont line up with the curve of the upper eye socket naturally. Again, filters can mimic this effect, so with this young woman its indeterminate. Not that it really matters, it's her body, her choice.

But the point is some of us can tell, but it doesn't mean we should judgemental about it.

That sounds excellent! Thanks so much for helping to get this going for real!

I also edited my original comment to tell folks to use the north pole as a return address so everyone can remain anonymous under Santa.

Isn't that what all salt is? When they put stuff like that on a product like salt it starts to lose meaning and is clearly a marketing gimmick aimed at health conscious people.

I'm not okay with taking advantage of people who want to be healthy. As with everything marketing its about stretching the truth to outright lying and it seriously needs to be more regulated so words like organic actually mean something to consumers and we know what we're buying. If they want to lable salt as organic, it should say "uses organic cornstarch as an anti-caking agent." The cornstarch is organic, not the salt itself because it can't be.

Honestly I have no idea and just kinda posted that without thinking too far ahead, not even sure if it was a good idea or if it would get any traction. I'm excited that there's at least some interest!

Post it whereever you think people would be interested in participating! Maybe start on lemmy first then branch out once people here seem to be aware of it? Then just see what happens! Hopefully some folks will participate.

I plan on sending some poop drawings this weekend to get the ball rolling. Maybe I'll post a pic of it on lemmy too to spread the word!

It would if there's already a therapeutic medication available(but more research could create a cure, or better therapies).

Usually insurance will deny a medication for these diseases either because the medication currently available is older(no one prescribes that anymore!), or it's too expensive, or it's too new/was developed in another country. For example ireland developed a new medication for narcolepsy, but it's impossible to get in the US, nevermind getting insurance coverage.

I'm on one med that was developed in the 60's and it's the only one that actually works. It's over $300 a month. The other newer one I tried made in the 90's is over $1000 a month and doesn't work as well. Insurance tried to deny coverage for both.

The problem with older meds is there's fewer manufacturers so they can charge whatever they want due to lack of competition. There's little demand, so the few people who need it are charged out the ass for them since insurance will deny deny deny.

Thanks for the info! I found it super confusing the way the packaging advertised the product.

I'm also a bit cynical when it comes to "health" food so I assumed it was some bullshit marketing ploy. Good to know it's an actual thing this time.

At least it doesn't say organic.... since salt is an inorganic compound and that'd be straight up silly.

What I'm wondering is does this salt have extra filler or is it made of something else that tastes salty without being actual salt? How does one make it have 50% less sodium without selling a smaller size container? Marketing is fucking ridiculous sometimes. Just say what's in it!
