I wasn’t referring to the Nazi part, I was referring to the ‘no contact with entire family’ part

Sure, if that works for you. Given OP’s question though, it’s unlikely that’s what they’re looking for and you’re just pushing your own opinion instead of trying to help them.

Most people have at least some family they’d like to see during holidays.

It actually is mentioned in the sidebar, though they should make it a hotlink

The last time that happened, the delivery service refunded that item, so it was actually mildly enjoyable.

Doesn’t really answer the question for people like me who didn’t follow their every action

That seems like way too recent to have any impact, though. It wouldn’t even have made it into their report data

Fair enough

They’re still a horrible company in many ways. Forcing them to be better in this one aspect doesn’t change the fact they’re shitty

You misunderstand, I’m all for hiring them back. I’m saying that shouldn’t change his boycott of rockstar
- Comment on In Matt Gaetz Scandal, Circumstances Left Teen Vulnerable to Exploitation 5 weeks ago:
Idk about that. Assuming we’re talking sex with no emotional connections, we’re (as a species, regardless of outliers) biologically wired to find teenagers and young adults the sexiest, since they’re going to trigger most of the signs our subconscious is looking for.

- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 5 weeks ago:
You’d be surprised, I’ve been called a Nazi for saying that just maybe, the Asian with 88 in their username is not a secret white supremacist (especially considering Chinese consider 8 auspicious, more so multiples of it)
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 5 weeks ago:
Was referring to the hand sign and numbers. But yeah, the flag would probably get you mistaken for the Red Cross
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 5 weeks ago:
The ok sign is " just" a common hand sign
14 and 88 are just numbers
You realise most of this is very local, and will vary greatly depending on which part of the world you’re in?

- Comment on Colonialism be like 1 month ago:
Fun fact! The plant was officially scientifically described in 2010, though it had been known to collectors for a long time beforehand as Nolina ‘La Siberica’. This is due to the plant hailing from a region of Mexico that is uniquely (for Mexico) chilly.
Naming: There are 35 species of Nolina, most of which are endemic to Mexico. Therefore a Mexico-specific name does not make much sense. Hibernica, or Hibernia, is a name for Ireland, but can also be taken to mean ‘Land of Winter’, which is how it came to be associated with Ireland to begin with. It was probably given in keeping with the original nomenclature of the plant of ‘La Siberica’, to both keep the original meaning and bring it in line with standardised scientific naming procedures.
The submitters of the paper officially describing and naming the plant, Fritz HOCHSTÄTTER and Davide DONATI, are German and Italian respectively. Neither of them hail from Ireland.
