We at least don't serve that to children generally.

that's a high effort response, the reason I brought up the change of ownership was to highlight that the company now has a parent company so this person's refund claims are bouncing all over the place from Canada to Sweden to China which would make it harder to pin down, the actual cars are still designed in Sweden so they are European cars even though a chinese company owns them, it would be like saying riot games is a chinese company although having a parent company has certainly affected the quality & direction of the cars

The whole system just fucked this person over. A European car brand gets bought by a Chinese company so there's already much less accountability to this one customer than if they had bought an American car (I know they are Canadian, but still). And with the car dealership model in North America and a lot of the rest of the world, it's not like the dealership can just switch the cars they sell, so they have no leverage to do anything other than close up shop and have dozens of people lose their jobs if the cars start getting crappier like Volvos have been. I think the moral of the story is if you live in North America, don't buy European cars, it's not worth it, just buy North American cars or Asian cars, you will have a much easier time getting them fixed and having your problems dealt with.

I don't think most people who voted for Trump care about the age of consent, biblically it's not like there's anything there designating something like that. They might care if he lowered the age of child marriage to 13, but even then that might not tank him.

All toilets will be state mandated to have one of those awful "smile you're being filmed" stickers

I don't think a lot of legal food can be considered poison, but both HFCS and sugar soda are really close. Also any other drink with heaps of sugar dumped into it. If you had to pour 40-50g of sugar into your glass you would likely not do it, but when someone else does it for you, you don't have to think about it.

For anyone not familiar with how positions in Lebanon are traditionally chosen

Key points of the agreement stipulate that:

Lebanese Christians do not seek Western intervention, and accept that Lebanon had Arab features.

Lebanese Muslims abandon their aspirations to unite with Syria and the Arab World.

The President of the Republic and the Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces must be Maronite Catholic.

The Prime Minister of the Republic must be a Sunni Muslim.

The Speaker of the Parliament must be a Shia Muslim.

The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament and the Deputy Prime Minister must be Greek Orthodox Christian.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces must be a Druze.

There must be a ratio of 6:5 in favour of Christians to Muslims (and Druze) in the Lebanese Parliament.

I would probably not abuse 20 interns

And I would probably not also give money to republicans to try "to push them left", I think spending the money on almost any other thing would be more politically valuable than that
