  • That's the sort of thing we eat down here all the time. What's wrong with fried plantains? Oxtail is kind of hit or miss, but if you know someone who can cook it well... 👩‍🍳😘 Truly divine. And who hates marinated pork? It makes the best tacos.

  • And you can't enforce ANY rule without protecting your people against bad faith arguing. It's a foundation of ALL communities, whether explicitly written in its guidelines or not, because meaningful debate is the foundation of ALL human interaction and is primarily what abuse and harassment is.

    The needs of your people are more important than your laziness, selfishness, and unwillingness to do your job. Don't like it? Step the fuck down. You go find a different community to play king over if you don't like it.

  • Yes, they are literally just excuses for shrinkflation and companies only benefit from shitheads like you to give them an easy out.

    The world doesn't revolve around tiny minute details and jargon from a field that doesn't actually positively affect most people's lives.

    Our kitchen scales are the standard, not your overblown overpriced ones that are too precise to be meaningful to the average consumer.

    We are in charge, not you.

  • All that speech doesn't change the fact that your standards don't matter, ours do, and if our scales don't match what that package says, you have to put more product in to make it do so or you are defrauding us. Period.

    Now come back when you're ready to meet our standards.

  • Well, it can't be packaged to scientific standards, it has to be packaged to ours.

    Scale accuracy was never a problem or scrutinized until ow, and successfully helped people lose weight, so it's not the accuracy of the scales that is an issue.

    This is blatant consumer fraud and nothing in your field can change that fact, clearly.

  • A cup is 32 teaspoons, 3 teaspoons per tablespoon, ergo 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. I know this offhand because:

    1. I cook
    2. I can count

    It's a base 2 measurement system for the most part. Also highly inefficient and imperfect, but so is metric for cooking.

  • That does not apply in today's world where shrinkflation and consumer fraud run rampant.

    It us solely the company's responsibility to ensure each package is labeled with the correct weight, not the consumer to tolerate excuses like "measuing errors" whether they're valid or not. Companies have too much power to just not know or be able to accurately weigh or label their product, ergo if there's a problem, they chose to have it in there. And if you dispute that, I will simply block you and move on.

    Stop defending evil corporations. Stop doing this.

  • Either you're doing a good job of playing along or I am actually hearing about something legitimately worse than the abuse I suffered as a child. I don't know whether to give you kudos or sympathy.

  • That's exactly the sort of thing you don't want your kid remembering. All it will do is foster in her a vengeance against you, and she would have a pretty legitimate grievance. Who blinds a child, no matter how temporary?
