US supreme court sides with Starbucks in union case over fired employees
  • I mean that guy is being an idiot, but it's also not quite that simple. There is still more and less ethical consumption. A fairphone is more ethical than an iPhone, and pointing that out in good faith to someone complaining about Apple's behavior seems entirely fair.

    It's not a complete fallacy to point out that someone is consuming something less ethical when they have a better option. Obviously it's impossible for anyone to do this with literally everything, but absolutely you can avoid Starbucks because of their treatment of unions, and frequent a local coffee shop instead.

    Granted this is mostly assuming two people having a good faith discussion, which on the internet is infrequent lol.

  • Are niche pillows and cases worth it?
  • They come with a big thick zip up cover, if that's the kinda thing you're looking for. I don't really remember noticing any powder on mine when I got it, but it's entirely possible I just didn't notice.

  • Are niche pillows and cases worth it?
  • I also got a purple pillow on a friend's recommendation. I'm a really hot sleeper, and a side sleeper, so I need a lot of pillow and it was hard finding both of those things in one pillow for me. It's been great, I like it a lot. The main downsides are it's heavy as shit (the pillow probably weighs like 8kg, it's wild), the weird rubbery texture takes some getting used to, and the little mats they give you that go under the pillow to make it taller get bunched up if you move the pillow too much.

    Other than those minor complaints, I've really loved it. It stays very cool, while still being springy and contouring.

    I haven't really experimented with other pillowcases, but I have been meaning to, if anyone knows of something nice.

  • Tesla Cybertruck Dominated by F-150 Lightning In Sand Drag Race
  • The driver skill is hard to control, but I would assume they had equal pressure in the tires, or at least close enough. There's also more things that matter like tire width, lockers, horsepower, weight etc.

    Even if it's not a perfectly scientific test, it can still be interesting

  • How are Book Bans Constitutional?
  • The problem is the obscenity exception is also used for things like preventing someone from walking around a public park with a giant sign covered in gore porn. Something like that I think is obviously pretty okay to ban, but clearly it gets misused for a lot of homophobic/transphobic type stuff.

  • Leaked Documents Reveal How Google Search Gatekeeps the Internet
  • Yeah, honestly it would be fascinating if you wanted to go search for the specific terms that you think should bring that up, and then compare how deep your blog is in the results on a bunch of different web search pages.

  • Fetterman, Flashing a Sharper Edge, Keeps Picking Fights With the Left
  • This is only even close to true if you think 'worldly' is western Europe plus like 3 other countries. It doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks counts as left and right wing. Biden is a left wing American Democrat, this is such a stupid argument.

  • got him
  • Yeah, the annoying thing is the people who I generally have found to be the worst about stuff like this are old school Senior C developers, who still program like it's 1987 and we have to fit everything into 4K of RAM.

    Fortunately there's nothing like that in my code base, I just run into stuff like that periodically when I'm digging around in other team's server code looking for something.

  • got him
  • My personal code readability axe to grind is nested complex ternary operators.

    Every now and then I'll see something like this

    return (checkFormatType(currentObject.type==TYPES.static||currentObject type==TYPES.dynamic?TYPES.mutable:TYPES.immutable)?create format("MUTABLE"):getFormat(currentObject));

    And I have a fucking conniption because just move that shit into a variable before the return. I get it when sometimes you just need to resolve something inline, but a huge amount of the time that ternary can be extracted to a variable before the ternary, or just rewrite the function to take multiple types and resolve it in the function.

  • [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
  • Fully agree. Honestly there's a few subjects where this kinda logic comes up and I get annoyed. Like it's fine to not be perfect, but don't pretend that you aren't perfect, or that your choices are somehow 'good' when they aren't, just because you don't like the realization.
