Weird, I noticed all my comments got a downvote by the time I loaded your replies. In any case, reading so much into a downvote might also fall under “misreading tone”. Kinda laughable to me in any case that downvoting could correlate to such political turmoil which is what you seem to be saying.
Is this thread hysterical? I don’t think so. Only saw like 3 people saying they would see this as a sign to stop patronizing the company, which makes sense to me entirely. You might be misreading the tone here.
…this is their CEO. “One of their employees” couldn’t possibly be more unrepresentative here.
His insinuation that Democrats are supported by big business is also fairly defensible
The truth comes out. You think this is a “both sides” thing, and you agree with it.
No, what’s being said ITT is that he’s praising trump prematurely and people don’t want to support a business run by people who do that. Incredibly simple, and might I add, logical.
Right. I thought they were talking more about the recent insane inflation of used car prices and maybe they knew something to explain it that I’d missed.
Edit: looking back at their original comment, yeah, nm, you’re right.
Avoiding giving your money to companies that go against your politics isn’t some irrational “tainted” concept. Not sure why you’re insisting it is. It’s just not supporting things you don’t want to happen. These companies donate to and otherwise push forward bad policy. Also, still not sure where you got that Americans invented any of this, or how it would relate to the recent increase in polarization
Can’t tell if > is meant as “greater than” or “can be replaced by”
Can you give a little more detail?
Americans did not invent the idea of voting with their wallets. What a preposterous claim
Thanks for that. According to the water enthusiast people, I’m incredibly dehydrated all the time, but not according to this chart. Hydration is definitely something to be aware of, especially if you’re doing things that cause you to lose moisture, but honestly most people have no issues staying hydrated today. Turns out sitting indoors and hardly moving doesn’t cause a lot of moisture loss.
That makes sense to me. I’m just spit balling here really, but it’s based on the uncertainty around the cause of kidney stones. There are certain risk factors but I think genetics play the biggest role, iirc
Yeah, we evolved the ability to thirst for a reason, and it works pretty well. The 8 glass per day rule was something pulled straight from the ass of some dude paid by coca cola to study how much fluid is healthy to drink.
Kidney stones might be caused by drinking too much water, it anything, imo. My understanding is that they are made up of the deposits that are in water, like calcium and lime, so yeah I find it hard to believe that tripling the amount of deposits flowing through will prevent a kidney stone.
Pop_OS is what I may stick to. It’s fantastic.
Can’t trust them to be correct,
At some point people somehow got the idea that if you blindly trust something, bad things that come from that aren’t your fault. People definitely aren’t skeptical enough. That’s the problem.
Yeah, people are really bad at nuance and context. Even something that is normally a shitty tool can have uses.
It is definitely victim blaming. Op thinks no one will notice what they are doing.
Lol yeah that’s what I was thinking. This is one of those posts where op thinks no one will notice they are trying to prove a point.
I would probably agree with you to some degree within other contexts, but I do not see anything like that here. It’s easy, vote with your wallet. Don’t like something a company or its executives do? Don’t give them money, done, easy.
Praising trump for something he hasn’t even done yet seems like a no brainer to me. It’s indicative of an attitude held by the person that can make sweeping changes to Proton as a company. I don’t see how it’s controversial honestly. If this post also showed a campaign of people demanding everyone stop using proton over this opinion, maybe you’d have a point. Spreading it for awareness is a good thing, not “hysteria”.
Edit: One last thing, can you provide evidence that any of this originated in America? “You are on the inside and don’t see it” is not evidence.
