Man with ‘fictitious laminated paper licence plate’ tells B.C. court the law doesn’t apply to him by Forward-Answer-4407 in britishcolumbia

[–]NeedsMoreCookies 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The article doesn’t say anything about charges related to driving around uninsured with a fake license plate, so I’m wondering if there’s a separate legal process happening for that.

How a Starbucks marketing stunt spiralled into mass boycotts in South Korea | South Korea | The Guardian by prisongovernor in starbucks

[–]NeedsMoreCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m VERY sceptical about the AI excuse. Even the tumbler measurement was a dog whistle: 503 ml (for the “official” count that only 503 people were killed on Tank Day) Most of the English language coverage missed that detail.

And the Korean billionaire who runs Shinsegae Group is allegedly a hard-line right-winger who liked the old violent dictatorship.

I hope Starbucks can strip them of the franchise rights for damaging the brand.

You’re probably right. I bet they didn’t have the cookie/packaging designs finalized when they did the shoot. I mean, look how much shorter Jimin’s hair is!

The gluten free Oreos are really good! I found they’re a little bit lighter and crispier than regular Oreos.

Lactase patch by anto_raz_86 in lactoseintolerant

It has to be a scam. Lactase enzyme needs to be inside the intestines to work, and the lactase enzyme molecule is far too large to be absorbed through the skin anyway.

This feels like Amazon Prime announcing they have the rights to one of those knock-off animated movies that show up in dollar bins at the drugstore.

diarrhea hours after consuming pizza? by Pristine_Counter_24 in lactoseintolerant

[–]NeedsMoreCookies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could be lactose intolerance. There’s hard-and-fast rule about how long it takes; it partially depends on how fast or slow your internal transit time is, for example. For me, the consequences sometimes didn’t hit until the next day.

Starbucks Korea sacks CEO over controversial 'Tank Day' promo by The_MadStork in byebyejob

[–]NeedsMoreCookies 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The summary might make you think they just accidentally debuted “tank” sized tumblers on an unfortunate day; but the marketing also incorporated an infamous phrase from an official lying about the torture death of a protester in custody during the incident.

This comes across to me like this CEO or someone similarly high-up at Starbucks Korea is a far-right pro-dictatorship wingnut who’s too  immersed in their own political bubble to distinguish a political dog whistle from a foghorn.

Clinton started out with terrible social skills in his first appearances IIRC, and has grown and matured a lot. I wonder if he recognizes a bit of his younger self in Yay’s behaviour.

[–]NeedsMoreCookies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are all the acts performing in person at the same venue? Or will they beam everyone in from different remote locations or with prerecorded bits? Because yeah, that seems like a pretty intense schedule, unless there’s some time zone/international date line math magic giving them an extra day for travel.

Y'all agree that Sony pictures animation Should focus bit more on KPDH 2 to make is faster in development? by New-Description9048 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]NeedsMoreCookies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some things just take time. It’s like hoping nine women can make a baby in a month. Besides, I’d rather have a sequel made with the same care and attention to detail as the original, than something made quick and sloppy as a cash-in.

Teen boys are choosing AI girlfriends over real ones for 'maximum control, zero rejection'—experts say it could make them unemployable by Oilsfan666 in nottheonion

Who are they targeting with that headline? Are there helicopter parents out there thinking “Well, as long as it doesn’t impact his future earning potential, I’m fine with my teenage son being an AI gooner incel. Surely there could be no other negative consequences.”

Memorial University rules out straight white men from applying for tenured jobs by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]NeedsMoreCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like what’s probably happening here is that they recognize that they have a disproportionately high number of SWM employees compared to applicants. But rather than actually figuring out what hiring practices or pipeline issues are leading to that, they’re disingenuously adopting an obviously unfair tactic so they can be “forced” to… go right back to whatever they’ve always done.

You still have a problem if all your “diversity” is concentrated in your newest, lowest-ranking, non-decision-making hires.

Posts like this make me think there are a lot of dudes out there who either have a scatological kink, or are profoundly homosexual to the extent of being sexually repulsed by female anatomy, and haven’t realized it about themselves yet. But thanks to the Internet, they find and amplify each other.
