  You don’t have to give up your ability to defend yourself in the world that actually exists to fight for a better one. That’s childish thinking.

    Going along with narratives pushed by people fighting for only their own self interest simply because it ticks the right boxes (contrarian, corporation bad, media bad) isn’t going to make the world a better place. Especially if you’re going on about things that makes it clear you’re out of touch with reality.

    I drink coffee hotter than that every day. Why do you think McDonald’s was serving hot coffee instead of luke-warm coffee? Did you consider why the working class people they serve coffee to during the day might want it that way? Are you so out of touch you can’t understand why the working class would want coffee hotter than the pumpkin spice mocha frapa whatever that a cute barrista writes your name on your cup of at the fancy coffee shop you go to?

      We don’t want coffee that hot. That’s the fucking lie, stooge. McDonald’s own market research shows that the overwhelming majority of their customers drink their coffee immediately in their car. Serving it burnt to crap and too hot to drink quickly is actively terrible for the vast majority of their customers, which is why even McDonald’s doesn’t actually serve coffee that hot anymore. They stopped doing that over a decade ago.

      Do you really expect me to believe some corporate ass-kisser that makes lawyer jokes like they think they’re being insightful actually knows anything about doing a honest days work. We don’t have time to casually sit around the office sipping coffee all day. We have to slam that shit and get to work, yuppie.
