It never said it was a week's worth of groceries.

Their methodology is basically this :

1. Find news articles about the company
2. If it's a positive article about the company's environmental work, inclusion statements or supports any Biden policies then BAM woke.
3. If it's an article about the company donations to election denying politicians, about the company being accused of racism or about Republican donations then it gets stamped non woke.
4. Average the results and profit!

I'm not sure how many articles they "find" or how they decide which ones to include but this website is as hilarious as it is sad. Imagine being so afraid of the word "woke" that you feel the need curate a list of companies to avoid.

Very true otherwise it can't wag. That's tail attachment 101 right there.

It's really an orange or grey thing.

Haha! Well I like how you end your statement with something you completely made up extrapolated from my lack of belief in the system.

I know for 100% certain that you haven't had any success in competitive politics because you obviously have no idea how to motivate or influence people with whom you disagree.

Your attitude is just complacency at this point. Life in the United States has been getting worse for at least a couple of decades. We've played the hold your nose and vote game over and over and each time we get the exact same prize. I'm going to assume you're calling me names because you're very upset with the lack of enthusiasm for the system right now. If I were you I'd redirect that energy towards topeling the two party system because nothing will ever change when we have a virtual duopoly on power. Push for ranked choice voting, push for a system where voting on a third option doesn't benefit the candidate with opposite views. That's a system where we can have real change but your solution won't get us there because the powerful parties would never willingly relinquish control even if they knew it was for the better good.

You won't get past local politics unless you're 100% all in on supporting one of two political parties. You deviate on even one party position and they might throw you under the bus calling you a radical that supports the other side. Both of the two parties are continuing to support policies that grow the income inequality divide so it's difficult to believe this time will be different. Telling people the other side will be worse gets less motivating every election cycle. If the "good" side was serious about doing the right thing they wouldn't keep nominating the worst candidates possible. * I'd say this cartoon looks accurate as soon as you realize that the characters bailing out water are just there for the photo op and the boat will still sink but just a bit slower.

Madison, I'm not really sure what you're argument is here. Let's look at your seat belt argument. Torx (or star bits as they're now called since Torx is a brand name) has become a ubiquitous standard in the automotive world and absolutely irrelevant to the poor point you're trying to make. Auto makers use star bits because they enable a rounded dome shape that is smaller and requires no space around the bolt head to accommodate a thick socket. You may have assumed it was to prevent removal but no auto maker has ever declared that as a reason. Considering that even basic starter tool kits come with star bits these days I'd say that makes them a poor choice as a lawsuit prevention method. There are too many other "dangerous products" out there that don't have silly screws and yet somehow are able to avoid frivolous lawsuits. I'm not sure why defending this practice is the hill your want to die on but making repairs difficult to avoid a lawsuit is something only a sucker would believe.

The tamper proof screw is NOT there to protect you, It's there to discourage repairs plain and simple. A warning label is more than adequate on other blenders, why not this one? In fact, there are plenty of dangerous devices I can think of that don't need to be locked down to prevent lawsuits. A lawsuit would require negligence on the part of the manufacture and while you're trying to say by not locking it down it could be considered negligence you'd be wrong. Otherwise I could quit my job and just file lawsuits all day. Let's not try to defend these companies that engineer planned obsolescence into their products. All they want is to be the sole repair option (big profit margins) or have you buy a new over priced high markup item. Nevermind the waste generated by hrowing away perfectly good products that a simple easy repair would fix.

Is this because of me?

I think it would just be bike or bicycle. If it's powered then it becomes an electric bicycle. If it really becomes necessary to specify then you could say traditional bicycle or regular bicycle. Maybe peddle bicycle vs self propelled?

It's pronounced: Al-oom-in-ee-um

I was into my 30's by the time I discovered fireflies were real. I was well aware there were bioluminescent creatures in the world but I thought fireflies just reflected light until I moved to the Midwest. They are an amazing sight when you've never seen them before.
