"Supervised" lol

I do love GM's "Supercruise" moniker. Accurate, and my introduction was during a CTS Blackwing commercial, so it was a great pairing.

Still disable it on rentals though.

"Up to" in terms of anything. Up to inherently also contains zero.

In regards to free, I've found that a general rule of thumb is that the larger, the bolder, the more differently colored, the more drop shadows added, the shinier, or the more 3D looking the word "free" is, the less free it will actually turn out to be.

The "zero calories" is a US thing, in the EU manufacturers are required to show nutrition per 100g. They can add percentages and serving sizes if they want, but per 100g or 100ml is required, so you can calculate your own serving sizes easily.

• "Zero calories" or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down if it's less than 1 gram.

For example, take a look at the "Serving size" of some cooking spray. 1/3 of a second of spray means 0.25g... So everything is zeroed out in the Nutrition facts.

• "Zero calories" or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down if it's less than 1 gram standard unit of measurement for that item (edited from grams).

A particularly egregious example is TicTacs, which are labeled as having 0 calories despite being almost pure sugar. The practice is also very common with alternative sweeteners, which have fewer calories than regular sugar but far from 0.

I think "natural" was determined in court to hold jo required quality, or be free from artificial, man-made or modified elements. So wholly opposite the standard meaning of the word.

They always come for language first.

"Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth."

I gave up sailing the high seas during the golden age of streaming. Unfortunately it has already come to an end with the majority of streaming services including ads for their highest tier.

I have wasted so much of my life on watching commercials, I refuse to waste anymore.

Amazon was just successfully sued because of the ads in Germany. It wasn't legal in the first place to enable ads on the lowest tier.

Like "Natural strawberry flavor". Made by cooking wood shavings in alcohol. No strawberry was harmed in the process.

Or like Sebastian Lege did it in one of his shows: He mixed a number of acids to make "Banana Flavor". Or when he talked about "natural smoke flavor", which is a byproduct of producing charcoal, and the company he visited claimed they produce several thousand tons a year...

Natural flavors: not synthesized from petroleum... probably.

Does this look like a man who's had all he can eat?

"Unlimited data" Limited down to 2G speeds.. 😠

Cholesterol-free is such a bullshit label anyway because dietary cholesterol doesn't do anything special to your own cholesterol. You are not a chicken and the egg yolk will not go directly to your bloodstream. Your blood has human cholesterol that you made yourself from the rest of the sugars and fats you ate, digested, converted, stored, and reeconverted.

"Nitrate free! *except for that found naturally in the shitload of powdered celery we put in there"

"Sugar free" is such a red flag, you know they are going to go crazy with the artificial crap. I try to eat less sugar but the same goes for alternative sweeteners, plus I can't stand the taste of them. I look for "Sugar free" so I know not to buy it, that shit's going to be disgusting.

Get him a stick

When he break it. He now have 2 stick

When he have too many stick.

Go get new stick. It free.

Indestructible toys are a catch 22, anyways. I found a couple of toys my old bud couldn’t destroy but he got bored of them very quickly. All of the satisfaction comes from the destruction.

We just started getting him soccer balls from 5 Below. Cheap enough and big enough to last a little longer.

Only two things ever last in my house. Beef femors and nylahide chewable. Everything has a lifespan of minutes.

You're dog has fuckered up eyes

Part of the problem with stainless steel is that it's not a singular material. It's an entire galaxy of alloys with a huge range of properties, and some are more corrosion resistant than others. It is certainly possible to concoct some alloy that is for all intents and purposes absolutely rustproof but it's unlikely to have the other mechanical properties you need for whatever it is you're doing.

If you're looking at any object (probably a knife, or maybe a sink or faucet fixture) that simply declares itself "stainless steel" but the manufacturer refuses to admit which alloy even if you press them in a vise, that does indeed usually mean you're looking at some junk. Low chromium and low nickel stainless alloys are the least corrosion resistant but all other things being equal are also typically the easiest to cut, machine, stamp, or otherwise work into shape.

"Organic" especially pisses me off when applied to honey. There's no such thing as organic honey. Bees have a range of three miles or more, and they will forage on whatever they like.

From Wikipedia:

Organic agricultural methods are internationally regulated and legally enforced by transnational organizations such as the European Union and also by individual nations, based in large part on the standards set by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM),[20] an international umbrella organization for organic farming organizations established in 1972, with regional branches such as IFOAM Organics Europe[21] and IFOAM Asia.[22]

Genuine leather.

Is this not as opposed to fake leather (plastic)? They could just say that it is leather or real leather, but that does not sound as fancy.

In Australia they changed it so ISP's have to say what the typical evening (peak congestion) speed is.

This is such bullshit manipulative marketing, similar to when companies will put out an ad saying something like "ONLY $1.99/MONTH" in large, bold letters and then below it have tiny fine print saying "for the first month, then $420.69/month".

"Free of dyes. Soft pear scent.". Boom. Done. Not only is it short, but it's clear and accurate. Almost nobody cares if it's "clear" as long as it's dye-free.

Flavored dish soap is kinda wild in general. Yes, I want the things I eat and drink off of to all taste vaguely of chemical lemons.

The default should be plain soaps and plain dish detergent. Some are so potent that the scent sticks to the dishes even after washing, and unfortunately, the food too. Especially that dawn spray soap.

that's fucking infuriating

We had a huge push here about waterproof vs waterresistant. "waterproof" means you can drop it into like, 12 ft of water for some crazy amount of time and it'll be fine. Water Resistant is a much more flexible term like "If you use it outdoors and a drop of water gets on it you should be fine. Of course, no average consumer knows the difference and so they assume water resistant means water proof.
