/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • I wish I had the patience to do stuff with my hair. It's down to my butt, but most days I just put it in a bun with a couple different sized scrunchies and a bandana to tie everything down. In fairness, that's mostly because I don't have air conditioning and do manual labor that requires my hair to be up anyway, and it looks p good, but it'd be fun to have extra pretty hair on the weekend sometimes.

  • Smack barm pea wet is a common order at chippies in Wigan (a town in Greater Manchester, England). The syntax of this order may need some explaining. A "smack" (in other regions called a "scallop" or a "potato cake") is a battered and deep-fried potato slice. "Barm cakes" are soft, enriched rolls which were traditionally leavened with "barm," or the froth from the top of a fermenting vat of beer—though bakeries today use active dry yeast. Thus "smack barm" is a noun-noun compound, where "smack" gives the specific type of "barm," or "sandwich on a barm cake," that's being described.

    "Pea wet," or "pey wet," is another noun-noun compound. It describes a condiment that, as far as anybody can tell, is completely specific to Wigan: the liquid, or "wet," off the top of a batch of mushy peas (though a few solid peas may make their way into the ladle as well).

  • This thread isn't about other states. This thread is about Iowa.

    Why is Iowa suing Temu and not suing Amazon for collecting private consumer data?

  • Iowa is not suing Amazon and we are talking about Iowa.

  • I never once did that. I never said the article is false. My points were always:

    1. Temu is doing what every other US company is doing, and US companies collecting our data are more dangerous because they can actually hurt me.

    2. A double standard is being applied to Temu because of Chinese ownership, and reporting on this without acknowledging that double standard is propaganda.

  • This thread is about Iowa. I don't know why you can't stay on topic. Iowa is targeting Temu because they're Chinese and won't go after US companies that do the exact same things, or worse, because they're US companies. I don't know why you refuse to talk about Iowa in a thread about Iowa.

  • Again, you aren't engaging with what I have to say. You're just firing off responses as fast as you can to "win" the posting rpg.

    This was about Iowa. You did nothing to show that Iowa gives a shit about Amazon and isn't applying a doubled standard.

  • I said, a lot earlier in the comment chain:

    But why does Iowa care so much more about China collecting data than the US?

    And it was in a thread where the OP is about Iowa. That was the context in which I said Amazon won't face consequences. I was clearly talking about Iowa law and why Iowa targeting Temu is biased, you bringing up Biden's FTC making decisions three years ago to refute this. You aren't seriously engaged with what I have to say, you just want to "win" the discussion.

    I hate talking to redditeurs.

  • To clarify, Amazon will never be sued by Iowa, even though it's certainly guilty of exactly the same thing as Temu.

  • Amazon will never face consequences. Being heavily connected with China is why they are facing consequences.

  • They're a Chinese owned company. Amazon is not. Therefore, the Chinese owned company faces consequences, the US owned company does not.
