Vinegar on iOS is also still working perfectly

It’s a myth that capitalism alone has lifted people out of poverty. In fact, many nations have fought to implement strong social policies just to try and shield their citizens from its excesses. For every claim of progress, there are countless tales of exploitation, dispossession, and environmental ruin. Saying no system is perfect trivialises the issue. With capitalism, the true cost is often hidden behind the glittering façade of consumerism, at the expense of human dignity, ethics, and our planet’s health.

It sounds like that belief is worth having a look at again.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. <3

I got key-logged by an abusive parent when I was 14. If that doesn’t make you take digital privacy and security seriously, nothing else will.

Sounds like someone’s previous policies led to a brain drain in their business and now he’s hoping other employers will blindly follow this rhetoric (and shoot themselves in the foot) so he can poach their employees for his company gain.

I’m fine with billionaires eating each other so we don’t have to.

Can I still have a go if I change my name to Jeremy Corbyn by deed poll first?

You know what works every time for me against any telemarketer or tele-scammer?

“Excuse me: are you aware that this is a business line?”

Repeat as necessary with appropriate outrage. They always hang up first.

According to this Norwegian publication in an article published January 31st 2023:

the Norwegian oil fund still holds hundreds of millions worth of shares in petroleum companies like Gazprom, Novatek, Bashneft and Lukoil

Even if the value of the companies they’ve invested in lowers, they still haven’t pulled out any of their financial investments from Russia. The investments could be worth very little, but they still have something invested in Russia.

Is money more important to Norway than justice?

Norwegian Government on February 28, 2022, ordered the Oil Fund to freeze all investments in Russia and prepare a plan for divesting with the goal of totally exiting the Russian stock market

Why has it taken them much more than a year to even communicate their ‘plan’ to make the divestment happen?

Is Domino’s Pizza really better at handling their finances than the wealthiest pension fund in the world?

If Domino’s Pizza can end their presence in Russia, when will the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund?

Didn’t they promise to pull out their 51 investments by February 2022?

You’ve never seen another human refuse to address a problem affecting them (and others) because the solution could affect their current levels of comfort and habit?

Have you considered an alternative?

I give them grace. I assess their understanding gently and afford them every opportunity to learn on an accessible level. If they can’t learn from me, then I follow my curiosities and see what I can learn from them.

I remind myself, often, that ‘if I’m in the smartest person in the room, I’m in the wrong room.’
