Sus to be hanging out with a 17-year-old.

EDIT: Anyone not understanding the joke, just look up the lyrics to Dancing Queen by ABBA.

But what age range would this be? Can’t be a child. We already got that.

Before Picard season 1 was in production, McAvoy (not sure if he was serious) said he’d like to play a young Jean-Luc.

And there is a official crossover that occurred long before Sir Patrick Stewart starred in the movies.

So he likes to fantasize about Kamala as his surrogate daughter?

EDIT: In case you forgot or were unaware, Famke Janssen played Kamala in “The Perfect Mate” as well as Jean Grey in the original X-Men trilogy.

I thought that was a koala.

Got tetanus updated. Apparently that was recommended on my last medical checkup.

I am unable to find a news report now, but I am certain I read one back in 2018 or 2019. I believe that Conservation International (an organization that helped develop the C.A.F.E. standard the company uses) was discovered covering up the certification of one of the farms in Brazil. As I remember reading, that a farm was at the time listed somewhere as being certified but after slave labor was discovered, CI uncertified the farm and attempted to claim it failed to meet the C.A.F.E. standards, thus never was awarded certification. They weren't saying the certification was revoked; it never had any.

Here are three different reports regarding three different instances in Brazil. https://news.mongabay.com/2019/05/slave-labor-found-at-second-starbucks-certified-brazilian-coffee-farm/

Here is one on the Guatemala incident. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/mar/01/children-work-for-pittance-to-pick-coffee-beans-used-by-starbucks-and-nespresso

So I guess you don’t mind having to bury it if it catches fire, because they reach insane temperatures. Or the fact that raccoons think they are dumpsters.

Sheryl Crow donated her car to a NPR station.

Just so people are aware, Starbucks was caught buying from farms in Brazil multiple times that used slave labor. In Guatemala, along with Nestle, were caught buying from farm(s?) that used child labor.

EDIT: On top of this the company partnered with Conservation International to certify the farms met the company’s standards. The incident in Brazil saw CI trying to coverup the certification of that farm. Also CI is involved with arms dealing.

EDIT 2: Their retail products have the claim “100% Ethically Sourced”. That is a lie.

EDIT: I got the slogan wrong. It is “Committed to 100% Ethical Coffee Sourcing”.
