@thomasfuchs Not really. Reduced fat doesn't really change the nutritional breakdown of the milk, including protein.

@RachelThornSub Would blind people know if the AI text is accurate? As a sighted person, I've seen some alt text that in no way describes what is seen in the image. I usually block the person using it.

@StillIRise1963 I think I'll trust the ""F---ing Indian" over the Campbell's mouthpiece.

@StillIRise1963 VP. Not that it is much better.

"The suit, filed by Robert Garza, a former cybersecurity analyst for Campbell Soup, accuses Martin Bally, the company’s vice president and chief information security officer, of making the offensive comments during a meeting in November 2024."

As well, "He also allegedly made derogatory comments about Indian coworkers & – according to the recording – claimed he sometimes came to work under the influence of marijuana."

@StillIRise1963 Campbells is claiming they had never heard about the recording before.

""F---ing Indians don’t know a f---ing thing," the voice on the recording says. "They couldn’t think for their f---ing selves."

Garza, who began working for the soup giant in September 2024, told Local 4 News that initially he had kept the recording private but changed his mind and decided to report the comments to his supervisor.

The complaint states that Garza was terminated approximately 20 days later"

So cool. "An ancient wooden ship, almost intact, has been uncovered on the beach of Hoi An Tay ward, Da Nang city, in recent days after Typhoon Kalmaegi struck central provinces, with Da Nang among the hardest-hit localities. Experts estimate the vessel dates back to between the late 14th and 16th centuries, describing it as a rare maritime treasure in Southeast Asia."

Holy Hannah.

Guess this means NYC gets government funding?

So...the Epstein Files. It seems there might be enough GOP support to push it through, but "Assuming the bill gets passed in the House, it would still require approval by the Senate and to be signed into law by President Donald Trump."

So Spanky ultimately gets to decide if they are released or not? So this is mostly pointless with regards to them being released?

There is something very wrong with a system that allows a man to openly cover up his own crimes.

I am just Blocking all who post with obviously AI-generated images. I don't care how cute folk think they are, they are destroying a lot of things to make those things.

@StillIRise1963 @AndrewHS Oh, gag. She's 28, he's 60. He got her pregnant, married her after the baby was born. Sounds like some "good Christianing" there.

@thomasfuchs Glad I lived in times of Phonics.

There were more out of scene: females and juveniles.

Oh, wow, my American friends. The Dems continue to be gutless. :(

@benroyce At the beginning of internet, a concern was that it would allow pedophiles to normalize themselves, as instead of being isolated and knowing they were abnormal, now they would find community and justify their behaviour. Social media is allowing the conspiracy theorists, incels, etc. to find their communities, which makes those things a bigger problem. The dark side of the web, though in plain site. :( @Pineywoozle

@benroyce @Pineywoozle I wish people raised their boys better instead of leaving them at the mercy for these incels.

@benroyce The positive side of the internet has been for marginalized communities finally having a voice: Indigenous folk, gay/trans, Black, etc. That is a genie we don't want to put into the bottle. I really wish schools were more involved in teaching kids about the internet and how to be aware of taking care of themselves and protecting themselves from being exploited by people with agendas that aren't in their best interests. @Pineywoozle

@benroyce @rozeboosje @Pineywoozle There are thoughts you say, and thoughts you don't say. No one has a right to an audience. Most countries have hate speech laws: if you are saying things that could trigger violence against others, you do not deserve a platform to fan that violence.

@rozeboosje One of the really sad things about the 2016 US election was that society WAS moving towards a kinder direction. Bigots knew to be quiet in public. Kids were happy in schools: gay, trans students, so what? Another generation of that would've been amazing, with those kids growing up in that. Then...the orange rapist came along, encouraging & allowing people to say the quiet parts out out, to be the worst versions of themselves, it's been catching worldwide. :( @benroyce @Pineywoozle

Just heard: Republicans are so upset about the New York mayoral race, you'd think they had just elected a rapist with 34 felonies.

@thomasfuchs Isn't there a law about this? If not, when the seditionists are dealt with, I hope that a lot of things get codified instead of relying on decency.
