it really is annoying as hell how someone will talk about how poor people can't avoid ethically dubious products because of how being poor works and then someone with a two story house in the suburbs will take that to mean they can order harry potter books through a drone delivery from amazon and if you criticize that you're a bigot

No ethical consumption under capitalism also means: "the production mechanism of capitalism are deliberately obscured and so complex that it's nearly impossible to accurately measure the environmental and humanitarian impact of everyday items and it's okay if you can't do the research to find out. Even if you're financially very comfortable, you don't have to spend 5 hours researching which tomatoes are the most ethical before you take a trip to the grocery store. Spending your whole life trying to accurately measure the ethical impact of every purchase is a time sink that will not bring about a systemically better world."

not "obviously shitty choices don't exist".

[ID: A screenshot of a woman staring at the camera disapprovingly with her arms crossed. Text over the video reads "coloring while my boyfriend's at his big boy job", "I turn off my brain around my boyfriend", "being good at the blue store so I can get something from the pink store", "I'm just a girl" and "girl math". Bigger text at the bottom reads "y'all are genuinely pathetic" /End ID]

Coca Cola flavored Oreos taste like if you could eat clipart

[draconym]

These taste like an abstract concept. Summer Vacation flavored. Yankee Candle ass cookie.

[errant-light]

this just keeps being relevant

[thelawfulchaotic]

This skit absolutely slaps forever but I have to tell you guys the secret.

The weird Oreos don’t sell… but the weird Oreos just being around and visible make people buy more regular Oreos.

That’s why.

[draconym]

The weird Oreos DO sell, but my housemate is the one buying them all

[unfavorableinstigation]

I think they add an important element of randomness to the environment. My father in law bought 6 or 7 boxes of the Selena Gomez Oreos so he could set a Selena Gomez Oreo alarm to go off mid workday and then say to his coworkers, "Oh, my Selena Gomez Oreo alarm is going off!" and unearth from his locker his 6 or 7 boxes of Selena Gomez Oreos so he and his coworkers could distribute them around the neonatal ICU ward where they work. He said it livened up an otherwise extremely dreary day.

Honorable mention(not mentioned due to the photo limit), new york sirens draftee Katelyn Roberts and many athletes.

Happy national black women in sports day(I didn't bookmark the post and I don't remember the user *sigh* it's gone forever)! Yes, it's a day and we will celebrate it as such. These women pictured and many more have created a pathway for young black girls to excell and achieve strong feats. And while they don't get recognized as much compared to their white teammates/players, their work doesn't go unnoticed by me and it shouldn't go unnoticed by you either. In a world full of critics, racists, and misogynists who latch onto them with their twisted fantasies. It's clear as day that representation is important, now more than ever.

that post about “you get bandits when you cut soldiers loose without pay” reminds me of the Thirty Years War, because one could say that beneath all the religious schisms and diplomatic jockeying, the heart of the thirty years war was “what happens when you have a state with just enough capacity to raise massive armies but without enough financial capacity to actually pay those armies” and the answer is that the line between professional armies and roving gangs of bandits disappears and every time you try to raise an army it just becomes another independently acting wildfire devouring the countryside. No matter how bad things get, every day I wake up and thank my lucky stars that I do not live in 17th century Europe. Or 17th century China. Or the 17th century Americas. Or basically anywhere in the 17th century.

One of my favorite little anecdotes about ancient mercenaries is that it was tradition for most of history to give your mercenaries two wages- "Bread" and "Gravy." Both were set at a daily value, but where "Bread" was intended to cover regular maintenance and life stuff and therefore paid out frequently (Here's your week's meal and gear repair budget!) the "Gravy" wage was paid out exclusively at the end of the contract as one lump sum. So like, your gravy wage and bread wage might be one silver coin per day each, so you're getting a handful of coins every week to cover food, and then at the end of an 800 day campaign, you get a wheelbarrow with 800 coins.

Employers liked offering this structure because then they didn't have to like, try to guess how long the invasion of spain will take and then carry 800 coins per soldier around the battlefield where it could be captured. It also gives them the chance to budget around the assumption that they take an enemy city and *find* vast sums of treasure even if they don't have the full value at the beginning of the war.

The main flaw of this system is that it's very easy to end up in a scenario where if you have, say, 50,000 guys that have been fighting for 800 days, you now owe 40 million silver to your army, and if the budget has not worked out to a 40 million surplus, you literally can't afford to end the war, but you can probably afford to pay them for a couple more weeks. So then you have to start thinking creatively.

Anyway across all time and history a lot of generals were ultimately beaten to death by men chanting gravy.

Farage has basically tricked the complicit British press into another free political broadcast.
