70.5% of Starbucks baristas are women.

@amydiehl The only message I want on my cup is the little sticker for “oat milk”

To be honest, I regret being offensive. I want to apologize, but I can't with all that emotional-woke/american (and european) ideology BS. It makes me want to go deeper. But this is enough; I'm attacking the wrong people. I'm sure everyone has good intentions, and sorry.

seems like a perfect use of AI. meaningless obsequious verbage. SMDH...

@MisuseCase @amydiehl beat me to it

[quixoticgeek@social.v.st]

@RedKoba @tml @monokeros @ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl open about using an image of a man responsible for the deaths of over 3 million people? Have you fully thought out the implications here ?

@AT1ST @quixoticgeek @TwoClownsEating @michaelgemar @amydiehl
To be honest I didn't know that "negros" was offensive to english speaking ppl, I already know about the other "N word". But I remember Malcom X or MLK using it.

I wanted to atack in previous toots but this was not the case

@RedKoba @AT1ST @TwoClownsEating @michaelgemar @amydiehl the terms used by people of colour themselves may not have the same meaning when used by others.

Now you are using fascist and CIA propaganda, the executions ordered by staling are about 800k most of them fascist/nazis and bourgeois

@quixoticgeek @TwoClownsEating @michaelgemar @amydiehl As a fellow Spanish speaker: we do not claim this asshole.

While he's right that it's a normal word in Spanish for the color, anyone with a basic level of English literacy understands the implications it has outside of it and would refrain from its use unless it's _very_ justified.

Hell, even in Spanish it can have some racist connotations. Its use by this individual was very deliberate and has earned him a block.

@amydiehl welp, there's another reason to stop going to Starbucks. I normally don't, except as a treat or on a long drive, but this makes me want to take it further off the list. Stupid corporations playing stupid games... ugh.

@RedKoba @tml @monokeros @ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl I was actually using numbers from Wikipedia...

No arguments Sir? Poor victim of propaganda

[quixoticgeek@social.v.st]

@RedKoba @tml @monokeros @ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl so how many deaths is it ok for a nations leader to be responsible for? Might I suggest the number should ideally be zero. Capital punishment is bad. Genocide is bad. It's 2026, I can't believe I'm having to say this.

@amydiehl @samiamsam those execs must stay awake at night thinking of new ways to be petty little pricks

@amydiehl The best time for Starbucks' workers to join a union was years ago. The second best time is now.

[hoare_spitall@mastodon.world]

@amydiehl I was only once persuaded by family to join them in a Starbucks. I asked for a small, plain black coffee. I was told we have only large. I asked how big is 'large', and was duly shown the cup. I said 'I will not drink out of a piss pot' turned around and left, with the family reluctantly behind me.
The family have never forgiven me.
Starbucks? I couldn't care less.

I love Wikipedia, but that calculation includes things like dekulakisation, which was a man-made starvation caused by landlords preferring to let people starve to death rather than lose their wealth.

Wikipedia is good source but not bulletproof
