The iced coffee thing is just taken out of context. They're not selling you a 'coffee to iced coffee converter' to take home. 7-11 is prepacking ice in a cup that's probably fits their coffee lids and is more heat resistant than their big gulp to pour their hot coffee into it. This also gets them out of the liability of someone pouring hot coffee in a cup then adding ice and getting splashed.

I'm really amazed you can type while simultaneously jerking off corporations. That takes some coordination!

There's a chance that they don't charge extra for the cup with ice already in it than they would if you just put ice on a cup, which I guess would be okay.

Adding espresso to ice is the only acceptable option.

i used to make firehouse coffee in the air force with espresso grounds in a drip maker. tastes like complete poo poo but the caffeine content was amazing from the fine rear end grounds

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
It's a fundamental misunderstanding of iced coffee anyway. It's called coldbrewing because it is a different process that results in a less bitter flavor than a typical hot brew. This is why room temperature coffee tastes awful, the heat masks the bitter terpenes.

I thought cold brew and iced coffee were separate things. Like cold brew is a brewing method, but iced coffee was just coffee with ice.

Wealth Psychologist is a thing

quote:

Wealth psychologists assist many modern wealthy families, most of which built their wealth in one generation. They may not be comfortable with all aspects of being rich, and may have a lot of guilt associated with it. Even for those people who find themselves financially prepared, more are beginning to realize they may not be psychologically or emotionally prepared to cope with wealth.
...
Wealth psychology is becoming more prominent in legacy planning, preparing family members and future generations for the emotional transfer of wealth. While the precepts for effectively maximizing the transfer of assets are well established within the traditional wealth management community, the guiding principles for preparing family members and future generations for the emotional transfer of values and beliefs are often minimized or ignored. The role of the wealth psychologist is to help families bridge the communication and trust gap for building solidarity of vision and purpose among disparate family members and generations.

That reminded me, the BBC did a story about the military sending people to philosophy classes so they can argue down drone pilots' ethical questions like "if I'm not being immediately threatened by these people and am in fact hundreds of miles away, how is it ok for me to rain death upon them with no warning" and presumably "are we the baddies?"

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
Was it ITT someone posted a link about how the ultra rich are actively complicit in death by spending their money in a certain way?

It had a great quote about how some arsehole could've funded education for African Americans across the entire USA, but instead blew that money on a yacht.

I should have saved the link. I've tried googling but all I get is puff pieces about how great the rich are and how fancy their yachts are and aren't you jealous

EDIT - this was a link request, in case that wasn't clear

I bet there are a lot of people that try to counter argue stating that the rich buying yachts creates jobs because look at all the people employed in the yacht building business. I'm sure that's way more helpful to the economy than educating a significant portion of the population.

It's the classic "kill vs let die" debate. Is letting someone die morally equivalent to killing them? Is not spending money to improve the education of African Americans morally equivalent to passing legislation to worsen the education of African Americans?

Holding onto money that we do not need is no more immoral than holding onto that extra kidney we all don’t need. You could save a life by donating your second kidney just as you could save a life by donating your excess wealth. Still, we do not look askance at everyone in possession of all of their organs.

That quote says a lot about their view of money. The system creates and destroys money. My money is part of the system. It's not part of me. If you tax my money, that's the system doing something to itself and I'm just along for the ride (which is all I ever was).

Given how comparatively cheap it would be to eradicate hunger, poverty and illiteracy world-wide, and how rich people generally generate and (don't) spend their wealth, they should absolutely have it expropriated for the good of mankind.

It may be cheap now to eradicate hunger, but what about when the world population is 20 billion? 50 billion? At some point it will stop being cheap to eradicate hunger, and you'll be stuck with 25 billion hungry people instead of 3 billion. So you traded 3 billion people being hungry forever for a few generations of a hunger-free world, followed by 25 billion people being hungry forever.
