  • There’s literally someone in this thread right now saying you can eat raw pork in America without worry…

    The correct response to that is to provide the actual guidelines based on actual data, not to fearmonger while quoting lines referencing wild game.

    A huge part of why commercial pork is safe – that you’re consistently leaving out – were major changes to how livestock are raised. Trichinosis transmission in pigs is primarily caused by the consumption of infected meat; US standards were changed to more strictly control what’s fed to pigs, which led to the decreased risk. The risk remains in wild boar because they’re omnivores that will scavenge whatever they can find.

    145 is still a limit people need to follow, lots of people don’t.

    145 isn’t a hard limit. It’s the recommended holding temperature for one minute.








  • Stakeholders are people with any kind of interest in the company doing well

    Corporate social responsibility as a concept is even broader than that – it’s not just anyone who has interest in the company doing well, but broad consideration of anyone impacted by the decisions of the company.

    A company might be able to save operational costs by dumping toxic sludge in a river, but within a CSR framework, people living downstream would be considered stakeholders and the potential negative impact of the decision on those people is supposed to be taken into account when decisions are made. The corporation is supposed to have a responsibility to do right by anyone impacted by their actions wherever possible.

    At least that’s the theory. It shouldn’t be surprising that the language of CSR gets pretty commonly coopted by companies looking to whitewash what they’re actually doing.




  • it took me way too long to realize that i can tell my boss to eat shit.

    I think the difference in upbringing you’re describing is a huge part of it.

    Millennials went through spending our entire early adult lives being gaslit about how all the ways we were being abused were ultimately somehow our fault because our parents refused to recognize the systemic issues we were facing.

    We may have come to the realization late, but we can certainly make sure younger generations know that they can and should call bullshit when they see it.
