I dunno is it really that bad?

I'de rather no one took them home, left or right. Way too many classified leaks occur through sloppy politicians. If workers can be prosecuted, officials should be as well.

You'd think that is true, but from my vantage point, its 100% christians.

That is the idea. The point is to discourage those who have the greatest risk. If you can stop people with allergies from eating your products in the first place any cross contamination will never be relevant.

>I don't remember seeing "may contain" in the EU, i remember seeing "may contain traces of" which is information rich, it lets you know that there was that allergen in the factory for some other product so if you have that allergy don't eat it

Those are essentially the same statements. Just very slight variations of syntax.

The important thing though is that these statements do not mean the producer doesn't have to control for allergens. In both the US and the EU they do. It's a hedge to reduce risk.

I can think of one thing....

Another repost? https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/10936n1/demi_lovato_poster_banned_in_uk_for_being/

Considering a total of six posters were removed, by the advertising industry's own standards group, and it was August 2022, this "news" is more ad.

Article tells you about the songs you'll hear, with no mention of the damage to juvenile brain development that will occur from exposure.

You would be. It's a slam dunk even. Producers have legal obligations. When they don't meat those legal obligations it makes litigation extremely easy. In the eyes of the law they were not duly warned.

This is my actual industry. This isn't some hypothetical. It's one of the main ways that enforcement happens. There's inspection, which is more or less significant depending on what it is, but for most foods they rely on consumer action for enforcement. This scenario is actually super clear cut. Just need to have damages so you can have standing.

And it has to be this way too. Otherwise all food would contain a "may contain" statement and all the relevant regs about labeling and controlling contaminants would be irrelevant. You can't magic words your way our of not having to follow regulations.

Eh. Most of us are pretty used to being insulted and belittled all over the place. Christians are by and large pretty thick skinned overall given the way we tend to be portrayed in the media. The stereotype based on the worst of us is taken as gospel that all of us are like that.

The silly part about all of this outrage is that I can think of another religion that would be far less tolerant of its symbols being used this way. You'd have a lot more than 4 complaints were it done with those. Interesting how folks like Lovato shy away from using those symbols but have no problem disrespecting the sacred symbols of Christianity.

There is a double standard going on, mainly because Christains mostly just shrug and deal with stuff like this while some other religious groups don't.

my understanding was that if it says "may contain" you know that if you have a sensitivity you can eat it, but if you have an allergy, you can't

I don't remember seeing "may contain" in the EU, i remember seeing "may contain traces of" which is information rich, it lets you know that there was that allergen in the factory for some other product so if you have that allergy don't eat it

Religious wackos, in general. Christians definitely do not have a monopoly on stupid beliefs and rules.

How is this onion-y?

Fvcking stupid

Anything that involves a conscious choice, like religion, is fair game.

It's as if they don't even know that they're offensive.

> and you successfully sue the manufacturer.

The hanger for me is the lawsuits wouldn't be successful at all. You were duly warned and proceeded right along anyway.I don't see any entitlement for compensation.

If the bill exceeds tax receipts then the end result will be a hit on the exchange rate(as the govt. prints money .. sorry, engages in quantitative easing). That affects imports, so the question is :- 'how reliant is South Africa on imports ? That will determine if this model is sustainable or not.

Well sure, Levato is doing something to get outrage to sell albums, and the usual suspects are selling outrage as Christianity because hot air doesn't have royalties paid to the music industry.

I hope to see you on Coffin Flop, if spectrum doesn’t remove Corn Cob TV.

Kinda like the house-boat living, Maserati-driving coal baron of West Virginia, Joe Manchin, being the chairman of the Senate committee on Energy that continuously kills legislation to move to renewable energy.

Like what the absolute fuck are we even doing here?

Honestly, I know writers have to make a living, but that article was a dick move.

And her coffin was labeled "Going out in style"

imagine if she had another group come in rocking out to the Dropkick Murphys song

I don't actually condone this for a pile of reasons, but could you just imagine the right wing's heads exploding if the immigrants coming over had to enlist to fill the gap in recruiting?

Processed foods and office/sedentary jobs. Lots of weird ans shitty stuff all tangled into itself.

This is a ridiculous response considering a) the US 100% bends towards the religious more than the UK does, and b) the font used in the poster absolutely made it look like the word fuck instead of fvck, which the US won't allow on anything but paid for TV channels at the best of times.

I am not the least bit personally bothered by the content of the ad or the language in general, but the idea that there might be some kind of restriction on the word fuck being writ large on posters in public places is "nutty" seems a bit rich.
