@RedKoba @TwoClownsEating @michaelgemar @amydiehl you're not writing in Spanish tho. You're writing very offensive English.
@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.

70.5% of Starbucks baristas are women. Starbucks now requires them to perform additional emotion labor by writing a personal message on customers' cups. If not sufficiently nice, they are disciplined. They must perform friendliness but make it look spontaneous. https://qz.com/emotional-labor-starbucks-baristas-green-apron-service-051926
@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.

No arguments Sir? Poor victim of propaganda@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 The best time for Starbucks' workers to join a union was years ago. The second best time is now.

@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

"Smile-More" forced labor.
Starbucks is wunna those things most humans have determined should exist no matter how much they profess to hate going in every. Fucking. Day. Sometimes thrice.
They can absolutely be closed for good by the same people.
Coffee tastes better when you support a local business.
Starbucks cups make your hand look like it's holding a politician's dick to me. No matter what's written on them. -

@RedKoba @tml @monokeros @ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl it's all on Stalin's balance sheet. He killed millions. This is the popular consensus of historians. I would suggest it's time to find a better roll model. Maybe one who's not considered a genocidal dictator.

@RedKoba and Bascule said "knowledge is power". Bulwer-Lytton said "the pen is mightier than the sword."

@RedKoba @amydiehl @quixoticgeek The problem isn’t autism — I know plenty of neurodivergent folks who are lovely.
The problem is psychopathy and narcissism.
@michaelgemar
@RedKoba @amydiehl @quixoticgeek
psychopathy is a deprecated term in psychiatry and narcissism could be used to refer to a personality disorder (although it isnt always) so you are still making a judgment on forms of neurodivergence albeit ones that are commonly considered "worse" on some level.the problem is capitalism itself, which is a mode of production and a resulting social system. if every capitalist was perfectly mentally healthy and neurotypical it wouldnt change the fact that capital depends on the exploitation of labor to extract surplus value, and thus all capitalists are guilty of exploitation.

@redrozalia @michaelgemar @RedKoba @amydiehl totally agree. But we will not build a better world by throwing neurodivergent people under the bus in our quest to overthrow capitalism.
