  • The system is the problem here, because it incentivizes these kinds of corporations to do these things.

    So by the very nature of capitalism, all corporations.

    When you have a boss “ruling over” a worker, that is just barely different than living as a serf. The difference here is you can choose your boss, but inherent in the system is that workers don’t earn the full value of their work (surplus value), otherwise it wouldn’t be worth it for the owner class to hire anyone.

    Worker-owned cooperatives are pretty cool, though. Would be nice if all corporations were forced to be worker-owned.




  • When drinking black (especially on a regular basis), you’re going to notice the finer details of the actual flavor of the coffee, especially bitterness (or the lack thereof).

    When you drink coffee with shittons of cream and sugar, that covers up essentially all of the bitterness, and makes a lot of the intricacies of coffee disappear.

    I find the same thing goes with chocolate. A nice, 80+% dark chocolate will have a much more complex and rich flavor to me than, say, a milk chocolate (even a high quality milk chocolate). The bitterness is a big reason why. It leaves this amazing aftertaste that I can never get enough of.
