Presumably the sign meant to say something along the lines of pelvic, or vaginal examination, or whatever the proper English medical signage should be, which would have the correct connotation, but instead they only picked a word with the same denotation.

Do I smell a $200 rebate bribe incoming?

Oh, this is getting an anime? It was like the one manga I randomly happened to read in the last year. IIRC it was quite the cute Yuri bait, but also not super memorable.

It’s starting to feel like that because that’s exactly how a lot of them think. They’ve just been recently emboldened enough to start saying the quite part out loud.

You’re not fooling anyone. The world is watching who the violent ones are.

Google Regulatory Affairs, said the DOJ is pushing a “radical agenda that goes far beyond the legal issues in this case,” and would harm consumers.

Bullshit. You’ve been slowly pushing the vertical integration angle, and now it’s coming back to bite you. Suck a bag of dicks, google.

Pepe is a beloved internet meme, not a symbol of hate. Rightoid asshats need to leave pepe and doge the fuck alone. >:(

As the saying goes, there’s a grain of truth in every joke.

What a great example of the difference between denotation and connotation.

Trump doesn’t care about loyalty, he cares about obedience. In fact I’m quite certain he expects duplicity from all of his minions.

Oh! I’d never heard about this game before now, but it looks really cool. Too bad about denuvo though, that’s a nope from me too.

Lost opportunity to call it “Operation CatSnip”

I’m going to take a minute to respond to the argument I think you’re trying to imply here, that organic food leads to e-coli outbreaks in humans.

While there is some validity to this, it’s an oversimplification. The vast majority of e-coli is not problematic. The stuff that’s actually a threat comes from sick animals. So when you have AFOs with tons of animals in close proximity, the manure tends to be more likely to be contaminated. And when that contaminated manure gets used as fertiliser, it makes contaminated vegetables.

This doesn’t necessarily only affect organic vegetables, btw, as the runoff from AFOs can also be a contaminant, so it can affect neighbouring farms as well, organic or otherwise. This is how you can get e-coli contaminated lettuce because it was washed with contaminated water.

Personally, the reason I’d buy organic produce would be a) generally better quality produce and b) avoiding glyphosate and PFAS in pesticides. I think that Monsanto has played out billions in settlements related to roundup speaks volumes.

That said, I’m not nearly crunchy enough to think that artificial fertilisers are problematic. Heck, I use them in my own garden. Stuff that kills stuff tends to be more dangerous than stuff that makes stuff grow, but ofc dosage is everything.

All that is to say, I’d posit that the real problem here is intensified animal agriculture, and corner cutting (both in fertiliser production and sourcing), not organic farming per se.

No shit.

Where the hell are there non-organic plant foods?

If you ask that in the supermarket, you’ll get a very different answer than in a chemistry classroom.

Organic (marketing) and organic (chemistry) are different concepts, so the answer to your question would depend on the context in which it is being asked. 🤷‍♂️

However, I think he did take donations for early access to new titles,

When video game companies accept money for early access to their games, that’s a sale. You give them money, they give you access. I’m not sure why that wouldn’t also apply here.

From your description, unless you were allowed to donate $0 for access, that sounds a lot like a sale to me.

What’s also crazy is that there are people lining up saying “Surely that won’t also happen to me.”

Yeah, for sure. Regardless of legality, it was pretty clearly unethical.

Legally it might be a bit more complicated than that. The address on the mail would’ve been crunchyroll’s office, and it seems like businesses are allowed to open any mail that is addressed (as in having the matching address) to them regardless of whose name is on it.
