He’s so lucky that he can just brush off murders while remaining a “good Christian”. Most rational people would be crushed under the weight of the cognitive dissonance.

This has proven indubitably informative, danke

I’d like to know more about that wooden surface upon which the ketchup is resting. Is it a table, coffee table, chair, or toilet seat? Was the ring formed by a cup, a bowl, a glass, a mug, or a small bucket? What was held inside the object that created the ring? Where did you purchase this wooden panel? Where was it grown? How old was the tree prior to being harvested for lumber?

I know what you were trying to do and I respect it, but respectfully, there are shitposts, and then there are posts of pieces of shit

Thankfully, I am Canadian. For life! :D

Exactly! Individual consumer action is close to meaningless, but regulations are broad and sweeping

I’ve been boycotting WalMart for 25 years, but regrettably this has not put them out of business. Fortunately, it meant that not a single one of my dollars went into their greedy, overstuffed pockets.

Well phrased, and exactly why I didn’t purge your comment based solely on a single report!

FYI, this comment has been reported for “promoting violence”. Ordinarily I’d remove it for the “kill yourself” comment, but this seems more of a shitpost than an actual instruction or a promotion of violence. It’s a bit toxic but I’m going to leave it, and downvote & move on.

Anyone who disagrees, feel free to chime in with your take.

What’s the conspiracy, giant sunglasses?

This is the most correct answer of them all

An international boycott is justified

Thank you!

Exactly my experience!

If it was languishing with a dozen upvotes and no comments, that’d be one thing; but it’s generating discussion and interaction, so I’m not going to be the spoil-sport on this one.

Awwwws, thanks! Best wishes for your dialysis, that’s rough. Hope things work out as well as possible

I know what you mean, and your logic is 100% sound.

By the time I saw this it was 8hrs old with +250 upvotes though, so I didn’t want to purge it against the will of the people.

I’ll keep that in mind, thanks! Fortunately this is Lemmy, so I only have one or two reports each day to deal with (for now). And most users actually seem pretty mature and reasonable!

I have a hope that the sort of people to be on Lemmy at all aren’t the sort to be too toxic or unreasonable; and mostly that’s been wonderfully true in my (limited) experience!

LOL that’s valid

I thought about editing that since unconstructive replies are less valid, but figured whatevs. I’d rather hear all feedback than discourage poor feedback. :p

Oh, its Sanitation again, I didn’t notice that.

I understand and appreciate your point. But as long as they’re abiding by the rules of the sub, I’m going to let the community upvotes & downvotes be greater determinants of the worthiness of their posts. And as long as they’re not being a bad actor, I won’t ban this or any other user.

I’m just glad to see posts that are mostly-applicable to the topic rather than those spammy fake jobs or that one guy obsessed with the end of the world.

FYI, this post has been reported as “off topic”, along with the declaration that posts of this nature make this board indistinguishable from Lemmy Politics.

As the sole Mod, I’m going to allow it because this sort of issue is a direct consequence of our civilization’s corporate-centric approach to governing, and highlights the urgent need for Work Reform; the implementation of a system that is not 100% profit-driven or based around profit outcomes. Indeed; Work Reform is a political concept at its core since the entrenched powers never reform from within, but only change due to outside pressure.

Please let me know if you agree or disagree with this approach. All opinions are valid.
