Yeah, this is just disappointing. It's cute, and yes, I'll admit to posting things here that I sometimes feel are more suited for/r/todayilearned, but what angered me the most about this was that the OP would might think this is something/. didn't or needed to know.
Which I felt I pointed out here, that we have this survey, sampling thousands of mothers (no fathers), about the behavior and consumption habits of their 5-year-olds (not 1 or 7-year-olds) and asks questions with the word "baby's father" in them about abusive partners. It is supposedly a survey about soda consumption in young children that satisfies hardly anything about the type of soda, which when we consider aspartame let's say, has elsewhere been related to irritability and making people feel shitty.
Read the study!, where they cite other studies that wanted to learn about the contents more than the broad category "soft drinks," which in my opinion, includes a seltzer water, does it not?
When I first saw the briefings for the study, I found it hilarious how little it looked at which sodas they were having, and that it intended to find so much more about other variables we'd assume to affect the child's behavior. It is why I felt like highlighting the absurdity of the conclusion, which was satisfied by finding that everything else collected had less to do with these behaviors than the soda factor that it little to no extra data about. Nothing more than a mother's reporting of her child's approximate consumption habits.

While it might have been an intramural fight between the Foxconn employees in this case, this is the mere tip of a giant Chinese iceberg. Sure, Foxconn builds electronics as cheaply as it can for whomever wants to cut a deal with them... That's been part of the company's mission statement since it was founded, but should this stop people like Anthony Kosner at Forbes from approaching or musing on the idea that the heightened demand for a product like iPhone has just gotta be killing people in China for the sake of consumer contempt over issues like the phone being too lightweight. Ugh, the absurdity. I wonder if we can find out how many iPhone units have been returned because the customer 'didn't like it enough.'

2 things,
1) I posted this yesterday afternoon, which I fully understand. I shouldn't have expected to be selected. No big deal.
But really?
2) I've tweeted about enjoying Guy Fieri's food, on two occasions. It's actually not the worst thing ever: Fuck Pete Wells.

Top comment, hahahaha, just made my Saturday.
And this is another prime example. Cheers.
With PRISM / BLARNEY, this battle is pointless, amirite?
