I’m not saying marketing to children isn’t predatory. But this is a tool they need in school. It’s not practical at all to suggest they should be building computers and compiling their own OSes for school. Selling a product for use as a tool to children isn’t grooming. It’s definitely a marketing tactic, but so is everything?

The marketing wasn’t to children? It was to schools? They still do market to children (like the iPhone and messaging) but CHILD GROOMING?!? Fuck off. Trying to sell legos to children so they’ll be hooked on high-quality plastic toys is also grooming? Y’all are fucking stupid.

This is some garbage. Adoption is NOT buying and selling children. I mean, I guess that happens under the guise of adoption. But tons of kids in foster care need permanent homes and loving families, and their biological family is not an option for any number of reasons. It is a tragedy that this happens, but fuck off with this narrative that adoption is buying and selling kids. Tons of other shit in there was bogus too. Fuck this article.

I make 100k and haven’t donated $150. Am I a bad person?

Nice, what’s your typical brew method? I think their beans brew great in any method, but I tend to use an aeropress.

Rad, happy to have made the rec! If you can, come back and tell me how you like it after a bag or two!

I love YES PLZ for mail subscription. The Mix is almost always a home run, and even when it’s not it’s at worst a base hit.

But if mail subs aren’t your thing, I love several of our local roasters.
