you're surprised that a man who sells 500 dollar flamethrowers has safety issues?
Starbucks announced that they're going to be shutting down stores for 'Bias Training'.

thundermoot
That should be on <#398973785426100234>
@Ghostler many of thundermoot's claims about the 'stupidity' of hyperloop have been debunked but he's too arrogant to even acknowledge it or debate the person who debunked him, the only thing I'll give him is that he doesn't think it can be made financially viable but probably plenty people thought all complicated forms of transport were not financially viable
There's plenty of quotes from history by very well learned people that turned out to be utterly absurd.
1876: "This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication." — William Orton, President of Western Union.
1889: “Fooling around with alternating current (AC) is just a waste of time. Nobody will use it, ever.” — Thomas Edison
1903: “The horse is here to stay but the automobile is only a novelty – a fad.” — President of the Michigan Savings Bank advising Henry Ford’s lawyer, Horace Rackham, not to invest in the Ford Motor Company.
1946: "Television won't be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night." — Darryl Zanuck, 20th Century Fox.
1959: "Before man reaches the moon, your mail will be delivered within hours from New York to Australia by guided missiles. We stand on the threshold of rocket mail." — Arthur Summerfield, U.S. Postmaster General.

1966: "Remote shopping, while entirely feasible, will flop.” — Time Magazine.
1981: “Cellular phones will absolutely not replace local wire systems.” — Marty Cooper, inventor.

2005: "There's just not that many videos I want to watch." — Steve Chen, CTO and co-founder of YouTube expressing concerns about his company’s long term viability.
2006: "Everyone's always asking me when Apple will come out with a cell phone. My answer is, 'Probably never.'" — David Pogue, The New York Times.
There's plenty more.
Thunderfoot is too arrogant to debate literally anyone. His channel is a pulpit, not a soap box.
I have a really hard time following AiU during debates too.
His debate with, I think Nick Fuentes, about gun control was just cringe to try to watch.
@RyeNorth so starbacks is throwing money out of the window to virtue signal now? Cool another readon not to buy coffee there. 😁
And yes i have been asked to leave or buy something before...
I wouldn't put this in the same tier as, say, a car company making a superbowl ad about the pay gap
This was a response to an outcry
The only thing is, the outcry is dumb
And the response is dumb
They were within their rights to kick them out. They refused requests to leave from the manager, they refused orders to leave from the officers.
They were not 'customers'
I mean, I used to be a bike courier in Washington DC.
In the winter, I'd generally try to find heated places to wait between deliveries, if I had 30 minutes to wait or so
And I never got asked to leave
Specifically because I had a petty cash fund on hand for buying a soda at a restaurant, and just sipping on that while enjoying the heat.
It's not hard, at all.
And I had black friends who did the very same. Zero issues.
Companies don’t understand that the worst thing you can do is publicly address the situation. Just be quiet about it and people will forget really quickly.
hey guys is the podcast available through any podcast app? I can't find it on Pocket Casts
