Are meat eaters the target audience here? I was always under the impression that the target audience was vegetarians that longed for a burger et al.
As a meat eater, I can't imagine myself ever even trying a plant-based "meat" product. If I want veggies, I eat veggies. If I want meat, I eat meat. I know, crazy.
Covid has exposed the powers that be to be about exactly that: power. In the US, gun and ammo sales are through the roof due to the overreach of government. Everyone in the west has been warned by seeing how our governments react to try and control us. Well, everyone except Sweden and South Korea.
The surprise to me is not that governments are doing this. The surprise to me is that so many people fall in line with it as if they are incapable of thinking for themselves. Maybe after so many millennia of being serfs, slaves, and other subjugations its just in our DNA.
There's not a single Biden voter that cares that Biden is incompetent and creating messes for the US (border crises, inflation, gas shortages, etc). What they care about is no more Trump mean tweets.
"Only you can prevent forest fires" lays the wrong mindset that humans are the only causes of forest fires. I grew up with that mindset, took some education to realize that nature (lightning) creates fires as well, and that fires have occurred throughout history for the benefit of the ecosystem.
My kids are older teenagers now, but I wish Apple would have had some of this 5-8 years ago. Good on Apple for investing in helping real world problems and issues instead of investing in silencing opinions they disagree with in the name of "misinformation."
> I find that without a face to read, I have a very difficult time navigating conversations.
I hear this a lot, and in my long experience I find that most people are terrible at reading others in the business world. I've seen so many misunderstandings because of people reading into others tone, body language, etc, instead of just listening to the words and interpreting them.
I've been at two sizable (publicly traded, Fortune 300) companies where this has been documented in both Slack and Email. And I just facepalm wondering how management can be so ignorant of the law.
> Americans haven’t figured out how to behave on an escalator. If you’re not in a hurry, stand on the right and enjoy the ride, allowing those of us with a flight to catch to walk on the left.
OMG so much this. Maddening how oblivious Americans are to the basic tenets of getting along in a society. Not surprisingly, the same selfish, oblivious people behave the same way while driving their cars.
