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.

Ken Paxton is supposed to be in jail isn't he? If you read the article, he's the one behind this. WTAF?

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.

You don't have to pay for it. The billionaires do, and they will do it without hesitation

Why are you a mod?

This makes absolutely no sense. Do you even think before you type or...?

How's that working for everyone in the USA? How many "riots" or protests have we done that yield nothing?

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.

genAI is currently very stupid, and each new version is having diminishing returns on what the models can provide.

Objectively false statement. You can dislike it (which I do too), but you're totally wrong. AI passed the bar, AI can identify cancer images, AI can do things which very intelligent people can't. Each new version has surpassed the previous, and companies have started layoffs to replace workers with skeleton crews armed with AI models.

The amount that something costs is negligible. When have you ever seen billionaires complain about costs? They can spend 1 million dollars for 1 thousand years straight and still not be broke. They are so spiteful and hateful they will do anything to hurt other people and make them jobless. That's the true meaning of business, too. Billionaires own the business, why do they want more money? It's meaningless. They don't want the money, they just hate people.

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?
