Oh well that's a drag :(

The stealing I meant was the British Museum's acquisition of the collection, but this too.

The thefts weren't recent, they started stealing that collection decades ago.

What do you think “organic” means when you see it on packaging?

No pesticides? Carbon neutral? GMO-free? Bunny friendly? Cures or prevents cancer? Prevents monocultures? Cures diabetes?

I’ve heard all this from people trying to justify why they insist on buying organic. It doesn’t mean what consumers think it means, and the only meaning that is well-defined is the other one.

Didn’t realize people had no sense of humour about it, but I won’t stop because I think it’s vile that companies market this nonsense with a halo on to fool consumers, sometimes by referencing very serious health or environmental claims.

It’s true, I am always grateful to know whether or not my food is carbon-based.

All the other claims are fluffy af, and it doesn’t mean what most consumers think it means, which is arguably more important when it’s a marketing term more so than anything else.

“Organic” is just as much of a bullshit buzzword as “natural”.

GUT GESAGT, MITMENSCH

That’s very sensible and measured advice, DickFiasco. Thank you.

(Is there a Lemmy /rimjobsteve yet?)

Wow TIL thank you so much. I’ve literally only ever known it to mean “spy” so this is immensely valuable knowledge.

What’s the implication/meaning where you’re from? And where is that (if you’re comfortable sharing) so we all don’t put our foot in it when travelling there?

I think they teach this in business school. It’s a technique called “you suck my duck, I’ll suck yours” and is covered in most “distracting the FTC 101” curriculums.

Doing the reacharounds in public eh?

I said “responsible” as I am not personally a court of law.

He’s responsible as Producer, not Actor. And his victim was a woman.

Misread headline as “world’s worst off-road solar suv” and thought, “it’s nice there’s enough competition in this space for there to be a worst one.”

TIL thanks!

I assume from context that the “squash” you are referring to is not a gourd. Is it a beverage? Does it contain or is it served in a gourd?

If you haven’t already, read yourself some Arthur C Clarke. He wrote speculative futurism based on known science. If you pick up later editions of some of his books, they’ll sometimes include forewords by him going over the effect on the story and premises therein of evolutions in scientific understanding that happened since first publishing.

A little worried about what you already got “help” with given this is a request for more help.

Joke’s on Brussels - 6% of a negative number is not a disincentive.

Should be 6% of his personal net worth as most optimistically reported.
