There was a story on this shit on 60 minutes in the 90s. Maybe chronicle. Idk. Stories about people having their intestines ripped out of their assholes.

Horrifying shit.

Apparently not a universally solved issue?

Instead, they’ll pay their bottom tier employees to get berated by people with legitimate gripes, settle for a class action, and keep on sailing the skies.

And not just one or two.

When I take sobriety months, I collect root beers and try to find the best.

Dad’s came outta nowhere. Easy 2nd place for me. Had never heard of it. Incredible root beer. I was expecting something meh, idk why. I was pleasantly surprised.

Virgil’s is #1 all day tho

You’re all wrong.

Virgil’s is king.

Uncontested king.

Fuck, I’m buying some Virgil’s Root Beer today.

I gotta say, I genuinely love this issue.

Like I’m a left leaning generic progressive white guy with a degree that includes a Sociology minor. This shit is so fascinating to me.

I don’t know many black people, personally. Maybe 10 humans I know (like… Might send a social media message to because we are casual acquaintances) are black. I live in a rural area. Two are vegan, but the rest do indeed love fried chicken. We joke, I’veasked. I mean fuck, So do I. What meat eater doesn’t? It’s such a bizarre stereotype from the start. I believe I’ve heard it has to do with slaves being given the wings and appendages of chicken? But I don’t know the veracity of that. Seems plausible?

Anyways, this.

Damn. Saw this bit today. Relevant.

Reeks of desperation.

Friendly way to remember if it’s a disorder.

Does it… Disrupt the order of your life? Or are you getting through it?

Like, oh you say you’ve got OCD, cause you have to wash your hands all the time? So… Has it made you late for work? Do you set your alarm early so you’re not late for work?

Stuff like that raises a big red flag for a disorder.

This isn’t diagnostic, but it’s an easy way to break like 95% of inaccurate self diagnoses.

Oh I’ve let it go. I still visit for porn.

Honestly, this feels like a canary in a coalmine. A coalmine that we’ve known to be on fire, but a canary nonetheless.

12 states total. That’s like a quarter of the country.

When that goes, it’s over.

There are laws in many states governing many items clearly articulating that the price cannot change during business hours/within a business day.

Hopefully the FTC revs up it’s engines like it’s been doing.

Amendment would come first.

“we give you rubbles…?”

Just be aware that our military is here to protect the constitution.

Meal team 6 ain’t about that life. Not even their Dale Gribbliest. It’s going to be a horrible mistake. Fool me once…

Unconstitutional state laws can’t be upheld just because a state goes bananas.
