Might be the photo, but it looks to me like top is vanilla cookie with choc-chip, while bottom is chocolate cookie with choc-chip, making it “double” chocolate.
Definitely could be clearer, but I don’t think they’re making the claim you think they are.
So you’re annoyed that someone (who took the time to go to a charity shop, list the book online, and ship it to you) charged you the RRP for the book, that you didn’t have to buy from them?
I hope you have the same kind of energy for when mega-corporations charge anything from tens to thousands of pounds for products that often cost single pounds or even pennies to manufacture (due to underpaying for labour and materials that were in turn manufactured by underpaid labour as well), and the snowballing impact they have on the rest of the economy (by pricing out smaller companies, monopolising industries, avoiding tax, and so on).
The person you bought this from likely works for themsleves, trolling charity shops all day for bargains, and almost certainly pays tax on their income. I’m as anti-capitalist as they get, but even I can’t take issue with this. If they had charged you more than the RRP, sure, that’d pushing it, but if you didn’t want to pay full price, you should have spent your own time looking for the bargain. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Thanks for letting me know, I’m glad someone found it helpful!
And yeah, they absolutely would…
The ‘victim card’ is the conservative ‘race card’.
Except only one of those is real, while the other is made up by those trying to use the first…
This reminded me of those msn messenger nudges from back in the day… I’m definitely not the target audience this time around… 😂
I’m sure you mean well, but I always get frustrated by this poster (E: as in the propaganda poster, not op poster lol).
Class reductionism, in the same way that “I don’t see colour” does, ignores the very real material impacts of racism (and other systems of oppression) in addition to the impacts of class, and the fact that it also tries to frame white power and “Black power” as equal and equivalent, when they reaaaaaly aren’t, is really telling.
Do we as a global working class need to unite against capitalists? Absolutely!
Can that ever happen if parts of the movement ignore and dismiss intersectionality and only focuses on abolishing one form of oppression, but not the others? Never.
Not only because left unaddressed those systems will remain, but because telling marginalised people to wait their turn, or for a “more convenient season” as MLK put it, is telling them loud and clear that their lives and freedom aren’t a priority.
Intersectionality ftw.
Lmfao, anyone still putting their hopes of abolishing capitalism in electoral politics (or the governments that result, and their actions), at the very least, hasn’t been paying any attention, and has very little to no understanding of how the systems at play work and interact.
Playing by their rules within their game (this includes not only electoral politics, but also shit like using housing as a commodity, however supposedly noble the intent) is never going to set anyone free from it.
Count me in, Sabo-Tabby!
Alas, no van, but plenty of spots to hold lighter fluid and stolen flyers as I roll away lol
This is far more than mildly infuriating, this is actively putting peoples lives at risk, it’s enraging and quite scary, and why disabled and other vulnerable people are continuing to be more isolated than ever.
Fuck this person and the bullshit they spread. I rarely leave the house, but if I did and someone handed me something like this I’d grab the whole pile and set it on fire, casually roll over their feet with my wheelchair on my way, too (E: actually, scratch that, I wouldn’t want to get that close to the disease vector, even with my mask on).
Na, those nails definitely deserve to be seen, that’s such a cool design!
Great choice of book, too lol
It’s been a while since I’ve actually logged on, but I still have fbpurity installed on my browser from back in the day, I remember it doing a decent job at getting rid of the ads uBlock Origin can’t tell apart from posts. I’ve not looked in to it still being up to date or functional, so double check, and if it’s alive, give it a try.
You’re good, and who knows, maybe today is the day some other random stranger ends your search, it’s just wasn’t me lol
And thanks, right back at you!
Huh, well now I know there’s another spider horror film out there for me to avoid, but not what it’s called, so that’s fun lol
Mostly kidding, but if you do remember the name at some point, please do share! 😂
I already mentioned one movie in a reply (Arachnophobia), but another that really sticks out, and which I watched at an even younger age is The NeverEnding Story.
I remember being around 5 or 6 at a friends’ house, parents just left all the toddlers in the playroom in front of the movie and had their social gathering, meanwhile I’m terrified and hysterically crying my eyes out (I’m sure at least a couple of the other kids were too, but I can’t remember)…
Artax in the swamp destroyed me completely, and the Darkness and the Sphynx statues, and even Morla scared the living shit out of me (yes, they left us there to watch the entire movie).
I still can’t bare to watch the swamp scene.
That scene was absolutely horrifying to watch the first time I saw the movie and I must have been in my mid-late teens at that point…
I’m pretty sure you mean Arachnophobia, which is the film I came here to mention.
Someone put it on at a slumber party before I could see what it was (definitely wouldn’t have stuck around if I knew what was coming). It kept me up for months and months, and intensified an already existing phobia. It’s like 30 years later and I’ll still occasionally wake up in horror from seeing huge spiders in my dreams…
My best guess would be because the chocolate cookies don’t contain any chocolate, but rather just cocoa powder.
