Lol this same person once told me that he doesn’t support LGBT or Black lives matter or any of that because he doesn’t agree with those communities and thinks that they are hateful

Not sure about moist

What do you mean by moist? 🤔

he shouldn’t have to be an outright prick

I think he has no idea of self-perception. It seems like he is completely oblivious to it.

This is like you complaining about not getting a medium rare burger from mcdonalds.

lmfao careful commenting this, some “influencer” is gonna try that now and post it YouTube

Dude you’re comparing something stupidly expensive like liquor to coffee. like what?? 10 years ago, you could get an iced coffee less ice, it had like 5 ice cubes in it. Now they just give you half the amount of coffee what the hell? How can you even justify that? If we’re talking about some expensive top shelf liquor that costs $30-80 a bottle, sure, I get that. But this is literally sugary coffee and milk!

Are you a corporate apologist or something? cause your reply sounds like the most absurd logic ever. Back in 2010 I remember dunkin giving you more milk if you got a less ice coffee, it wasn’t an automated machine.

The concept of a mental health trigger refers specifically to something that reactivates a traumatic memory and induces serious distress in the person triggered

the trauma or stress is that everything costs more now in the USA, and provides diminishing returns. This is definitely a trigger. Everything is more expensive, and every place is giving you less of it than they were a decade ago or more. When I was in high school around the 2000s-2010s, you go to a coffee shop, there was no malicious hyper-profit maximizing bullshit. $2-3 max for an iced latte or coffee, and you could just have it customized. You want more milk, less ice? Sure! Now everything is maximum cost, and no. No, we can’t customize that, but it costs 250% more than it did 5 years ago. So yeah, it’s triggering, and I can say it’s triggering because we are FUCKING TIRED OF THIS SHIT. EVERYTHING COSTS SO MUCH MONEY. $6 for a coffee which is HALF ICE??? I can go get a huge ass bag of ice FOR $3!!! Why am I paying SIX DOLLARS… FOR A CUP OF ICE???1???

It’s not. I wish it was

The fact that so many in this thread are defending the chain is mind boggling

Lot of contrarian keyboard warriors on here lately and it’s almost like they’re disagreeing just for the sake of arguing

If you want two espresso shots, then you could just have them straight up. It doesn’t really make sense why you would water them down with a bunch of ice, because then it tastes like crap. If I get an iced latte, it should taste like an iced latte, I shouldn’t have to struggle through it by dumping more sugar into it like I’m taking some sort of medical concoction. There are so many things they could do to fill up the cup, add a little bit of milk into it. You guys don’t have milk? I asked them that. Oh well it’s extra to put more milk. Ridiculous I swear

Lol It definitely does not. Most drink companies have gutted their rewards program, especially Starbucks.

It’s… Wow. I see what you did there.

I just got a toilet from the hardware store as my desk chair

I have a 4 year degree and it has never advantaged me, ever. These days you need a perfect resume to even get a call. Even then you’re treated like an expendable henchman in a crime syndicate.

We need Reddit to quarantine the assholes

It’s been proven echo chambers don’t make for a better world to live in

Are you sure it’s not a you thing?

There’s that reddit-esque toxicity, missed that /s why make gaslighting comments like this? As someone pointed out below, most subreddits have karma barriers, and top-level subreddits like ‘gaming’ also put into place ridiculous rules like no reddit auto-generated usernames, which isn’t something that reddit tells you when you signup. So you make an account, have genuine interactions, then get permabanned from 90% of the community because of a rule meant to deter bots (that doesn’t even work). My karma on reddit is generally positive, but that doesn’t matter because moderator opinions over-rule the karma system, which makes no f*cking sense. If people genuinely like your post and appreciate it, but the mod of the subreddit doesn’t like it, banned. Mod doesn’t like you, banned. Mod doesn’t like other communities you’ve commented on, ban. There was a whole debacle about unpopular opinion banning people for commenting on another subreddit so people made true unpopular opinion and true off my chest…and now both of those are just as exclusive and toxic.

So tl;dr: No it’s not “just a me thing”

That’s not what the dictionary definition of sanitary is. Seriously, go look it up. According to Merriam-Webster, it first says: Of or relating to health. Plastic leaching into stuff is not healthy. No one has ever proved that it’s safe. The burden of proof is always proving that something is harmful, and then it’s classified as harmful. The problem is, we don’t know something is harmful for decades, or longer. People literally believed that it was safe to have cocaine in Coca-Cola and that cigarettes were completely harmless. We also believe that vaping is not harmful, and that marijuana isn’t harmful either. Who knows if that’ll be discovered as being extremely harmful to your health in 100 years or so.

So to me personally, I don’t find it sanitary to involve something in the process that you have no idea whatsoever if it affects your health or not. I would call that unsanitary.

It seems like you might not realize, but much of White collar America works right through lunch. It’s the standard. You will work your ass off your entire life, and you will be grateful for your job, they will not be grateful for you. That’s the standard that has been set in the USA. Hell, at least once a week I’m on a call with some other team and there’s someone calling in from a doctor’s office. Had a guy say he had to step out of the doctor’s office mid visit with his doctor just to take a call and I thought that was the most absurd and ridiculous thing I have heard in a really long time. You’re literally in the chair talking to the doctor and you say hold on sorry I got to leave really quick for business. Like what the heck?

tbh I hate interacting with other men online especially on bsky because they’re creeps, and I’ve always been a very not-creepy normal guy. I get along very well with other people irl and see other men just saying the creepiest stuff. like for example a guy gif reacts to a selfie a woman posts that says “step on me” like ew. Women seem to offer much more engaging and real conversations with dimension and depth

This probably comes from a life with no shortage of blokes trying to get their foot in the door under the guise of “friendship”.

So if a guy talks plainly and non-aggressively, like a normal and rational person with no insensitive comments or uncomfortable flirting… They can’t be friends? I guess that’s my confusion. I remember the world when I grew up being a bit more simple.

Garbage is very expensive that’s why you want to build a society that doesn’t create unnecessary garbage
