Yeah, it was just a little genocide guys, what's the big deal

genociding brown people doesn’t count.

If they live here in the US, then chances are they really do believe this, at least by action if not word. We're still withholding land from the tribes that is properly theirs (even by our colonialist treaties' standards), and just look what we're doing at the southern border.

Isn't it risky even to click the links?

Unfortunately, both of them alter search results based on locational data rather than merely responding to user input

The only ones I've found that don't are Mojeek and some SearXNG instances

There's a shocking number of people who are unfathomably tech illiterate, to the point that they can't recognize things like this. At work, I'll ask people what page they're referring to on our web site, and you'd be shocked and dismayed by how many people say things like "I was on google."

I legit wish I could teach a class on just the ABCs of digital security, especially for elderly people.

Gotta respect that

I was just joking a bit. It's pretty obvious right out the gate when they refer to "the USPS package" instead of giving a tracking number or something

Did you intend to make some kind of point here?

Implying that Steely Dan can find people, even beyond the grave

You need to start a vegan blog immediately

The link that supposedly proves Mozilla has "ceased caring about technology" indicates nothing of the sort.

This whole article seems completely unhinged and untrustworthy.

If the idea of consulting a list and calling ahead to a restaurant is too hefty of a concept for you to hold onto, then yes I can see why there's going to be a disconnect. Let's just go our separate ways, and I feel confident that eventually you'll get there.

hasn’t at least had a McDonald’s shake or something

What they've done in the past is irrelevant. If they choose to forgo Nestle products from this day forward, then it is possible.

Are you legally mandated to go shop at the grocery store? No?

I never argued that one was legally mandated to shop at a grocery store. Whether one shops at a grocery store or not, one can consult a list and therefore not buy Nestle products. This is quite simple.

Then why would you posit that response?

Just as an example of how it is possible not to buy certain products, regardless of how ubiquitous they are.

Yeah true, but last time I went to the doctor they charged me $200 for just the office visit, so it's not really sustainable for me

You're talking to someone with celiac disease and severe lactose intolerance. Sure, it's "impossible to avoid Nestle," in the same way that it's "impossible to avoid gluten and dairy."

Aka, it's possible. I rely on reading labels, researching brands, and researching a restaurant before ever setting foot inside. If I can do this, then someone who wants to avoid Nestle can too. It's very possible.

I take vitamins because of malabsorption related to celiac disease, and I've read that a lot of cheap vitamin brands are total scams.

Fortunately, I've been finding some major brands at the dollar store, of all places, for $1.25USD

So then you admit that it's definitely possible, and not impossible, to avoid Nestle products

Oh sorry I didn't realize we are legally mandated to eat out at places that use Nestle products, my bad.

The statement that it's impossible is entirely wrong.

Yeah true, I was probably harsh. It's more like people taking a position and then protecting it at all costs, even when it unravels lol

This whole thread is weird. I think it's hilarious how people are arguing with you, saying it's impossible and then linking sites that list every brand owned by Nestlé. You'd think it would occur to them that if one is able to consult a list, that makes it possible to avoid Nestlé products, since one can merely consult the list.

I think there are some synapses not firing here 😅
