  • What this image from? It’s hilarious.

  • ‘I took two bites and had to spit it out’: candy makers are phasing out real cocoa in chocolate

    Jump

  • Well swish swish. Even those with an ounce of self control sometimes also allow themselves an ounce of enjoyment. You should try it.

  • You’re using the future tense but this is pretty much the way it already is. No one considers hersheys good chocolate. It’s getting slightly worse and people are acting like some goddess has been kicked off her pedestal. Its more like a dead dog has just had one more fly land on it.

  • Right? These candies have never made their money with quality.

  • I think we’re talking about very old brands that sell in big numbers because they’ve locked in grocery store shelf space and Halloween combo bag deals. It’s not like every sale is made after a careful taste test. Boomers with practically no tastes buds left buy these to hand out to trick or treaters because they remember them being good 40 years ago. Meanwhile the manufacturer can make millions just by shaving costs here and there. They aren’t going to keep growing sales. Their brand is mature and their market is saturated. All they can do to juice profits is cut costs.

    I’m not justifying their way of thinking, just saying this is why they don’t behave as if every single candy must taste amazing. Their sales keep chugging without that. And if you aren’t growing profits, you’re already dead. So blame capitalism for the underlying reasons for why they can’t just leave well enough alone.

  • Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation

    Jump

  • What’s the expression? Markets can stay irrational longer than you can remain sane… or something like that.

  • ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push

  • Trying to get Rovo to do things in JIRA is like trying to train a chimp to cram shit back into an elephant’s ass.

  • They Don’t Make CGI Quite like They Used To

    Jump

  • The CGI is sufficient to my modest needs. But the acting when he takes that kick… what the fuck was that?

  • Cargo ship catches fire in Strait of Hormuz after three vessels hit by 'unknown projectiles'

  • Remember the Mauryee… - !

    Wait what was it called again?

  • Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

    Jump

  • It wouldn’t even solve the half of the problem, though. Men stop harassing women as soon as they are full time employees, what? Background checks are going to prevent harassment, what?

  • Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

    Jump

  • I also think they should be employees. That is however another matter. Being a full time employee has never stopped anyone from engaging in sexual harassment. Workplace harassment is quite common. Let’s not mix up our issues. Hiring them as employees will not protect women.

  • Well said, complete and concise.

  • Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story?

    Jump

  • The Gorn in Strange New Worlds are very far from the Gorn in TOS. The animalistic violence and body horror make for a really interesting enemy and there is a great deal of psychology to the conflict too. People are scarred by past experiences… they live through some really horrific terror. This is a long way from fisticuffs with a dude in a rubber mask.

    I’m not sure if you consider them just recycled nostalgia bait. But I’d say if something gets sufficiently re-imagined it is still “something new” even if one can argue it isn’t “original.”

  • we can't afford health care

  • Let’s put it this way: it costs money for them to move or not move.

  • YSK you can fold fitted sheets neatly (guide by ratfactor)

    Jump

  • I can’t imagine how you’re getting fitted sheets to turn into a crumpled mess more often than flat sheets.

  • I’m sorry, I don’t agree with you. I’m from California and we are sitting over here just as aghast as any European nation you could name and larger than some.

    We sent 54 electoral votes for Harris to Washington. You want to show me a European nation that did more than that to stop Trump?

    I understand Americans as a whole have a responsibility. But this guy was trying to make a specific play-by-play call about how Americans are reacting to this back home and I see no logic in sitting quietly and agreeing with that.
