Death of fast food is a treat we can all look forward to. Keep raising those prices geniuses!
Taking a page out of the IDF playbook. (Unsurprisingly).
Ditto for “leftist” lunatics.
Learn how to emphasize and get your point across better if you’re going to get into arguments. Using caps makes you look like a 12 year old.
Ohh? So now you think this isn’t deliberate action to provoke but instead it’s a mistake by the supplier due to not knowing what is and what isn’t sensitive toward others? What moved the goal post?
I didn’t, that was sarcasm for calling my argument as a “conspiracy” when asking for accountability when it hurts Muslims. But please feel free to keep skirting past the issue and keep making pointless statements. Seeing how this isn’t going anywhere, have a good day.
Using caps mid sentence indicates aggression. I’m not sure how often you use the internet, but keep it mind next time you decide to use it when somebody else isn’t using it.
Lol @ conspiracy. Sorry to have knocked you off your high horse there buddy. Who would have thought people can be ignorant regardless of religiosity right?

You gonna go say the same shit to blacks, latinos, trans, jews, asians etc next when they say something is offensive to them?
Maybe your entire bigoted outlook on life is a problem. When a group of people have expressed concerns over something being offensive, stop doing it.
This is like sticking your hand in fire and not expecting to get burnt.
Let me post the entire article so that you can go find something that contradicts with what I’m saying, my friend.
Three stores belonging to a Malaysian minimart chain that sold socks carrying the word “Allah” have been targeted with molotov cocktails over the past week, in a rare case of such violence.
One of KK Super Mart’s stores in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, in Malaysian Borneo, was hit by a molotov cocktail on Sunday, a day after a separate attack on a store in Pahang on the east coast of peninsular Malaysia. On 26 March, a store in Perak was also targeted with a petrol bomb, though it did not ignite, according to local media.
No one was injured in the incidents, which are being investigated by police.
The attacks came after pictures of socks bearing the word “Allah” at one of the chain’s stores were shared widely on social media, provoking outrage among Muslims who viewed use of the word in association with feet to be offensive.
Mostly Muslim ethnic Malays make up two-thirds of Malaysia’s population, while the country also has large ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities.
Chai Kee Kan, the CEO of KK Super Mart, the country’s second-largest chain of convenience stores, and his wife, a company director, were charged with hurting religious feelings last week, while three officials from supplier Xin Jian Chang have been charged with abetting them. All five pleaded not guilty. They could face up to one year in prison, or a fine, or both, if convicted.
Chai Kee Kan blamed the supplier, which the chain is suing, and said that only 14 pairs of “Allah” socks were found on the shelves at three KK Super Mart outlets.
Both companies have apologised. The supplies said the socks were part of a larger shipment of 18,800 pairs ordered from China.
The use of the word “Allah” has long been a highly contentious issue in Malaysia, where court cases have been heard over whether the word can be used by Indigenous Christians in their religious worship. Such controversy had, however, been largely confined to the courtroom, said James Chai, visiting fellow at the Iseas-Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore.
The sale of the socks was a flashpoint for wider tensions, he said, pointing to the success of the Islamic-based party PAS in the 2022 elections. “Many people attribute this to years of segregation by race and religion, as well as the growing number of Islamic institutions including schools that have built a more conservative mindset within society,” he said.
Some politicians, including the youth chief for the Umno, a Malay political party which is in the governing coalition of the prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, have been accused of fanning anger, by calling for a boycott of the stores.
After the petrol bomb incidents, Sultan Ibrahim, the king of Malaysia, has called for unity, saying community leaders must act with maturity. A senior police figure also warned against escalation, saying there should not be a repeat of the 2001 Kampung Medan riots, which occurred between the Indian and Malay communities, local media reported.
James Chai, of the Iseas-Yusof Ishak Institute, said there were no indications yet that the tensions could escalate to the level seen in 2001, or in 1969, when deadly racial riots occurred between the Malay and Chinese communities. He added the petrol attacks should serve as a caution that “the harmony and peace that you have in the racial communities should not be taken for granted. “
Patience and forgiveness goes both ways. Go around talking shit to people in the streets and see what happens.
If a group of people find something offensive, then don’t do it. Learn to respect their wishes. It’s just that simple.
As my boi Ice Cube once said: “Don’t start none, there won’t be none”
Yes. You can select what to delete and what to retain if I recall correctly. It’s grouped by “activities”, by app if you will.
Ideally you should, but a lot people use Android or want to use Google services. An as example, if you use Google Maps, then you have to opt in to giving Google location access and Google will collect your data. In that case, the least you can do is limit the amount of time Google keeps your data and change from the default setting which I think is forever.
Google has a data privacy setting that lets you delete your data history at some intervals. The lowest is 3 months last I checked. Make sure to use it.
“Bring him home”
Thanks for sharing our pain. I don’t understand how people pretend that Europe isn’t going thru the same stuff like we are in the US.
Inflation, migration debates, cost of living crises, rise of authoritarianism, income inequality, all of this is and has been global. Some places affected more than others depending on what you look at.
Get a pair of adjustable dumbbells (look into Powerblocks) and a foldable bench off Amazon. You’ll be set for months.
X is a shit company that doesn’t need to exist anymore but I’m equally tired of companies virtue signaling behind causes. Like, fuck off, I don’t need you to tell me that you’re “invested” in “human rights” or “causes” when you treat your workers like shit and fail to provide your retail workers a minimum wage for example.
X and these other companies virtue signaling behind causes for profit/marketing goodwill can all go to hell.
Here’s the link that was removed where Biden is actively trying to defer the ICC case calling it outrageous:

And Biden had nothing to do with this you say? How about the time when the US (Biden’s admin) was actively trying to dissuade ICC from issuing these warrants.
