It's called All4 now, not 4oD.

wasn’t sexual but indeed very sexy in style.

Those characters have child-like facial proportions. 🧐

Okay, so name an extension that will provide the same level of tracker blocking as Brave does.

You do know that’s not what shire means, right?

I do like the idea of them, same size phone takes up half the space in a pocket etc. But my current phone (that I've had since 2017) still works mostly fine.

I do think they've missed a trick by going all in on the foldable plastic display rather than two bezelless screens that folded out to look like one screen. I'm not phone designer but I think it might be more durable to not have the actual screen bending.

The backlash that Bud Light faced from LGBTQ people was not for the same thing that they faced backlash from the right for, it was because they left Dylan in the dust to fend for herself against hoards of angry reactionaries. Or in other words they pretended to be progressive and then immediately dropped their sponsor like she was mouldy apple as soon as it became even slightly inconvenient for them to keep up with that progressive facade.

They did that because their main market in the United States has always been largely conservatives. Ben and Jerries ice cream has never really been marketed towards conservatives (and also people don’t really identify with brands of ice cream like they with brands of beer), and they’ve always been very public with their political ideology. So they are a) very unlikely to face any kind of backlash for saying something progressive and b) very unlikely to retract any progressive statement/action if they were ever to receive a backlash for it because they have at least a modicum of integrity.

None of what you're saying makes any sense. That's why I'm not acknowledging every single talking point.

Why would the left ever be annoyed at the kind of statements Ben and Jerries made??

He’s definitely not innocent.

Profit is the Revenue(all of the money that you get from selling the products) - all of the costs; so that includes, manufacturing costs, Labour costs, overheads, tax costs, marketing, transport/distribution, insurance, rent, etc.

Companies can increase their profits in a number of ways, but in simple terms they can either reduce their outgoing costs or increase their incoming revenue. Most of the time they try to do both. So they might be putting fewer of their products in each box but charging more for them, or reducing the quality of their packaging but charging more for the products, laying off employees but charging more, or dodging taxes but charging more etc. etc.

Best I can do is early retirement with a generous pension

I’m not exclusively talking about the USA. I live in the UK myself and I still think that most religious people are somewhat conservative. Doing charity doesn’t make you not right wing, in fact some would argue that charity is a right wing concept because right wingers believe that things like feeding the homeless should be done by charitable individuals and organisations, rather than it being something that the government should be fixing (like many left-wing people believe).

There are many different flavours of conservatism, not all of them are rabid screaming morons who publicly admit to their bigotry, many are much quieter and subtle.
