I have no expertise on the subject or those particular accusations, but generally speaking I feel that a company's response to bad PR is probably not the most trustworthy and objective account of what has happened given their direct involvement in the matter. It seems as a given that they would want to refute it.

I guess if we're going for "weird" tips: Only shop for groceries on a full stomach. I've found it helps me against being tempted to buy unhealthy things (sweets, snacks, soda)

> There wasn’t much substance abuse treatment at CAAIR. It was mostly factory work for one of America’s top poultry companies. If McGahey got hurt or worked too slowly, his bosses threatened him with prison. And he worked for free. CAAIR pocketed the pay.

> Men who were injured while at CAAIR rarely receive long-term help for their injuries. That’s because the program requires all men to sign a form stating that they are clients, not employees, and therefore have no right to workers’ comp. Reveal found that when men got hurt, CAAIR filed workers’ comp claims and kept the payouts. Injured men and their families never saw a dime.

It's somewhat incredible (in a bad way) how far capitalism can go in terms of monetizing everything in people's lives when left unchecked.

I assume making the name of the function they want to eventually get rid of more annoying to type is part of the reason to do this rather than just tracking ones needing replacement.

The reddit thread mentionned in the article [0] is more interesting. Notably it mentions who filed it (OpSecSecurity) and apparently they claim their DMCA process was spoofed.
