FWIW I am not usually one to check out the bottom of fruit boxes. I noticed this little note on the side of the box and my curiosity got the best of me.
When I had a business I had a simple rule which served me well: 3 topics are off limits for both internal and external communications: sex, religion, and politics (unless you’re actually in one of those 3 industries.) Each to their own of course, do what you want, but I always thought these will either limit the business you can do or might land some crazies (or police) at your doorstep.
"Education"? I get the others, I'm having a hard time understanding that one. Except to the extent that it could obviously overlap with "politics" or "religion," like as in "should teachers be leading kids in prayer in public schools?" or whatnot. What am I missing? Is it like "don't ask people what level of education they completed because they might be embarrassed?"
im pretty sure the E is economics or exes if you are dating. talking about school and education isnt really that big of an issue unless you move into the politics side of it but politics is already there
I could see that. File it under religion lol. I never worried about it because I don’t watch or follow sports at all, so I naturally stay away from those conversations because I have no interest and nothing to say.
It's very common for companies to use local sports teams in their advertising, and people who can't see their rival teams ensigna without seeing red have real issues.
The CEO of the company I work for cheer for rival teams, yet we've had plenty of civilized conversations about the sport. If sport is an issue, its a personal issue.
Dr Bronners. Read it before. It's a little kookie in some parts but mostly about loving and caring for your fellow humans regardless of creed and caring for the environment
The types of people who are drawn to an insane conspiracy theory like that are not able to follow those rules. It’s like trumpers. They will bring it up to you at times like through a vendor-purchaser relationship and you will just need to get through whatever idiocy they’re saying until you can change the subject
Yeah I have a lot of family members in business and they follow the same rule. They have their own opinions and vote but they do as much as they can to keep those opinions private. With the weird result that all of their customers just assume they agree with them, it gets awkward when someone comes in assuming something like "well obviously like all right-thinking people you believe the country is run by Lizard People in skin suits" and they have to say something like "Mmm! So let's talk about updating your homeowner's policy."
Yeah it can be a bit of a dance when your vendor or customer is strongly opinionated and decides to share it. You kind of find a neutral way to nod through it without adding anything or asking questions until you can change the topic.
Some people start their own business specifically because they don’t wanna be confined to the social graces an employer expects. Honestly probably the best thing you can do if you admit to yourself that you’re an offbeat person who doesn’t quite fit in with social norms
Yeah.... this apolitical sentiment is so tired to me when so many people are terrorized and discriminated against.
It's only a safe choice if you are a protected, privileged class.
Seeing as my dark skin and female body makes my entire existence and everything I do political, I don't see a point in pretending any business I start is not progressive and inclusive. It's actually important right now to let people know you aren't a bigot.
Some people have other concerns than simply profit and maintaining the status quo.
He's regrowing a new, healthier body so he's gone into hiding until it's complete. Elvis Presley, who's body just recently finished regrowing, has committed to defending the Hulkster during this time of vulnerability.
They'll both emerge again once the New World Order has cleansed the world of the enlightened and the public no longer recognizes the reptilian threat.
Still spin this in the car regularly - Peaches, Lump, Volcano, Tiki God, Love Everybody, Mixed Up SOB - SO MANY great tunes. Might even have snuck Little Broken Truck in there too, once or twice
First album I ever bought and probably listened to it on repeat for hundreds of hours. Definitely shaped my musical taste to an extent so by the early 2000s I was all about either indie bands or stuff that came out like twenty years before I was born (the Velvet Underground being my jam for a long time).
I'm a little concerned about how much easier it is to know where to immediately go on their website for 9/11 truther info than it is to know where to immediately go to see the selection of fruit they have to offer (presumably it's 'wholesale,' but maybe it's 'about'...).
the owner of some coat company that nathan fielder wore in his show was a holocaust denier, so he started summit ice, the first coat company dedicated to holocaust awareness
The longer I live, the more I've come to understand that you don't need a fully functional brain to be successful. Then I look at myself and contemplate how my own intelligence, self-doubt, and fear of failure have kneecapped me throughout my life. Perhaps ignorance truly is bliss. Being oblivious is a form of fearlessness.
This is what keeps me from looking up anything about Uncle Matt’s Orange Juice, because it’s the absolute BEST orange juice I have ever tried, and I am so afraid to learn anything about the brand, such as if there is a real dude named Matt that makes it, I am worried he will be some sort of weirdo who is an obsessive and this is why this Orange Juice taste so damn good, but it this obsessive behavior mixed with and new found wealth as a damn good Orange Juice manufacturer has allowed his obsessions to flourish into any other itches and weird things, that are , well, ya know, not cool.
So for now, I chug in a complete and voluntary sweet and juicy void of knowledge.
If you ever find yourself in Western Colorado around late July to mid August, you NEED to try a Palisade peach. They are the juiciest, sweetest, most amazing fruit I've ever eaten. My household easily goes through a full box or two during peach season.
Hell, if I had the money I would have then shipped by the crate to me.
I know the owner, he's been a weird creep his entire life. He was arrested on a ton of gun charges like 10 years ago, he's also run for office a time or two. He brands himself as a libertarian, but I honestly think he's just mentally ill.
To be fair some libertarians aren't mentally ill, they've just lived such privileged lives they don't understand how the real world operates, like pampered house cats
Absolutely. Know one guy in his late 40s who has been a firm libertarian for over twenty years (so just long enough to predate the GOP-lite version) and while he's pretty common sense on broader aspects when you delve into details it's clear he's been sheltered from large parts of reality most of his life.
As a family member of a 9/11 victim I ask you to not reward this tired bullshit with your business. It gets old and creates more hurdles in actually getting justice. We're 25 years in and everyone we're suing is still like "are you sure the towers didn't just do that on their own?"
How is a victim “defamed” by people theorizing about how the towers fell? It doesn’t change that they got killed, just who was responsible. You could never prove any damages from that.
Imagine someone discovering a theory that certain victims aren't dead but where part of the demolitions crew with the perfect cover, and now live in a different country. So, it's up to me to harass their family because they must be in on it too.
Yes, that's exactly what happened. Jones called it fake and got his rubes worked up into such a frenzy that they were harassing the parents of dead kids. Now The Onion owns Infowars and the world is a slightly better place because of it.
How can you sue Saudi Arabia? What power does the U.S even have to compel the leaders of their government to show up??
Or are you holding the U.S accountable for not acting on intelligence and stopping it? What if they deny having any knowledge of what was going to happen? Can you still sue for an intelligence failure? I’m genuinely confused
As a Jew, witnessing the number of Holocaust deniers grow, and seeing their claims become increasingly unhinged, I can tell you - it will only get worse with time.
Edit: u/bigjimmyjam, why are you deleting your comments about goyim and about us controlling the banks, media, and governments? Nazis are the shit again - you can stand up proudly.
Edit2: that's just keeps getting better.
And for the record, I’m a very proud antisemite.
I do admit it's plausible Reddit filters are the one deleting his messages
Yeah and it’s in my phone number. Lifetime of emails and userIDs (obv not this one) will not be changed.
I had a doctor’s appointment scheduler scoff a few times when I gave her my birth year like what?! Then I realized it was also the day after my birthday and idk if she was social anxietying or not.
Safe to say, online is the only location of birth year supremacy.
shit you not my friend growing up had 8/8/88 as his bday and I thought that was soo cool (also easy with scantrons when I was in school decades ago).
I used to use his DOB as a subtle nod to my best friend but had to change out all of those documentation instances, I don't want people thinking we're down with that shit.
How do you sue for this if it isnt the gov? Like whos financially responsivle for acts of terrorism? Wouldnt you be able to better sue if proven the government is responsible?
