  • While this is definitely something people should be doing, doesn’t the attorney general only act out if they get enough complaints, or if the complaint stands out in some way?

    Will they actually work with someone to resolve their specific complaint every time?

    From what I’ve seen, at least the BBB will try to specifically address your issue with the company and is probably a much easier process to carry out before trying to take things further.

    Or is there something about using the BBB that would prevent you from filing a complaint with the attorney general, or prevent you from going further with something like a lawsuit?
















  • Most of those videos are also found on YouTube. I would expect that you don’t see those videos suggested to you because the algorithm has learned what you like to watch.

    If you open up YouTube with a VPN and in a private tab you’ll likely get search results that include a mix from both the right and the left.

    I’d rather not link to them, but from the ones you circled, these are the videos that I found on YouTube while doing a quick search:

    • The Babylon Bee video
    • The Paris Olympics opening ceremony video
    • The Assassins Creed video

    Now please excuse me as I purge my history…


  • The link from my quote includes a breakdown of the different types of bars and how much was found in each, so I would compare the kind of chocolate you usually eat, the safest choices were:

    Edit 2: Note this particular study was done on dark chocolate bars. Milk chocolate bars would be more diluted.

    • Mast - Organic Dark Chocolate\80% Cocoa
    • Taza Chocolate - Organic Deliciously Dark Chocolate\70% Cacao
    • Ghirardelli - Intense Dark Chocolate\86% Cacao
    • Ghirardelli - Intense Dark Chocolate Twilight Delight\72% Cacao
    • Valrhona - Abinao Dark Chocolate\85% Cacao

    Even those contained small levels of both, so eating an entire bar all at once is probably not a good idea.

    Also there are other foods that can have it:

    It can be found in many other foods—such as sweet potatoes, spinach, and carrots—and small amounts from multiple sources can add up to dangerous levels. That’s why it’s important to limit exposure when you can.
