It doesn't help that every ad is for some lovely middle man offering a subscription service for something you should be able to handle as a functioning non-retarded adult. Let us grocery shop for you! Let us buy you underwear! Let us buy you sheets! Let us take care of your snacks! Etc. Its never occurred to me that I need a cash guzzling middle man in any of these operations because I've gone my whole life just doing that poo poo as a daily part of my existence.

But they have an app. It's consumer 2.0 gramps.

kia ora means welcome in te reo (Māori language) and mate means death. Not really as welcoming to the Aussies as they appear to have been going for.

It's cheaper to buy 50 wings and 10 wings than it is to buy 60 wings.

Maybe this is a way to save money for people who want a lot of wings but enjoy working out the most efficient way to buy them first.

I get the top-of-page banner ads when I browse SA on my tablet, and can't figure out why I get ads for stuff like Broadway tickets, or a fancy food show in California. I'm a broke rear end goon in Virginia.

I mean, if it helps pay Lowtax to get a new spine, it's no skin off my nose (plus some of them make me laugh when paired with the animal pics on either side --- "that cat looks really interested in buying a new Toyota!"), but it just seems like these companies are throwing money away. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what ads I get on SA.

I just get this one a lot

You could smuggle drugs in Kinder eggs so you can't bring them into the country. Thankfully such careful laws as this are the reason why the USA has such a low rate of drug use.

8chan is is where the hardcore gamergaters got banished too because they were too toxic for 4chan. It's where the child porn got migrated to shortly after as 4chan had to stop with that to keep running.

You're obviously not from SoCal. A hospital in Orange County went bankrupt after a toddler squirmed her way into the CFO spot. She didn't know you had to pay the electric bill and they had a blackout. A lot of people died. A co-worker who stayed there had a PTSD episode when Boss Baby came out. I'm not defending attacking a child but for the market its very effective.

I support child labour if it brings down the for profit medical industry.

No, it’s because the US currently is not interested in funding FDA-related departments responsible for ensuring there aren’t terrible outbreaks of largely preventable diseases in our food. There’s sabotage all right, but the indirect sort where the purpose to to make as much money as possible while the average person too “lazy” to cook for themselves pays out the rear end.

Puppy Time posted:

I recall reading that the issue wasn't the workers, it's that the farms (or their irrigation source) are close to livestock farms and animal poo poo got into the water. Can't find anything to back that up, though, but a factory farm full of livestock seems more likely to provide enough poo poo for that level of contamination than a few dozen farm workers.

Using minorities as to cover up the damage caused by the callousness of the capital class is a time honoured tradition and will always get more play in the media.

Cure is a tidy little euphemism.

The causes of Autism aren't totally pinned down, but it's not a simple chemical imbalance, it's structural. A theoretical "cure" for Autism wouldn't be a pill or a shot, it would be radical, personality-altering brain surgery that's well out of reach of current technology.

Prenatal gene therapy is another theoretical avenue but that's fraught for its own reasons, which I hope are self-evident.

Basically an autism cure

1) is science fiction.
2) is firmly in the horror/dystopia subgenre of sci-fi.
3) ignores the stated wishes of basically everybody who is actually Autistic.

Just ask yourself "Do I want my brain functions edited for the convenience of others? Should people like me should be eugenically removed from the population?"

Prenatal Gene Therapy is the name of my cryptofascist industrial band.

yo I have a frisky dash of the 'tism and it's also ok to recognize we make people hate us because we're assholes usually unless we try harder. The reason our brain works differently is because it's broken. If you tell me it's ok to "act naturally" around people I will do things that are unpleasant to them that they have no reason to accept or tolerate.

Have you considered that your having the 'tism and being broken are not related to each other and that you would still be broken without the 'tism?
