Y’all….this white man went and lived in India for 6 months where he “discovered” masala chai and decided to make his own version that he now sells and calls…..mud water. I shit you not thats the brand name.
Aside from picking the most culturally insensitive name ever, he’s marketing this as if it’s a whole new creation. A brand new “coffee substitute” while In reality it’s literally just masala chai with some ground up mushrooms and cacao thrown in for foolishness. Like congratulations, you made weird masala tea and named it mud water.
“So I set out to make something better” TEA! You made a cup of tea bitch. This man writes like he reinvented the wheel instead of just putting mushrooms in tea
He describes the tea vendors as being “dressed in rags” but in the commercial where he shows footage of himself being served tea, the vendors look like this?
Clothes…….these are clothes but somehow this man has come up with mud water and rags
Tskhkstjwkjdni under his recipe section. This is literally tea and honey.
i spent 3 weeks in italy and a man dressed in mystic garb offered me a red elixir they call “wyne” and now i have come back to civilization to offer a new product lifted from this ancient civilization i like to call GRP \ WTR
Something I remember from my Criminal Law classes is that, quite genuinely, looking at someone (occasionally even pointedly not doing so) can constitute assault.
It seems absurd, looking at someone? Where’s the harm, right?
Well, it turns out it’s so that the law has recourse against people who just stand in a public space and start through someone’s living room window. For weeks.
Just randomly chasing somebody, even without intent to actually harm, is legally assault. It’s not harmless, it’s months or even years of therapy and paranoia against ever going outside your home, if you even think your home is still safe.
TLDR: Yes the law has already seen you play “I’m not touching you” and it is already fed up with your BS.
It’s incredibly fucked that this person is literally getting imprisoned for fucking recycling.
Like Microsoft’s actual case is “we lose money because without him people would have thrown their old computer away and bought a new one from us” but they realise that sounds bad in this here age of climate change and because reasonable human beings feel like “hey e-waste is a huge problem and we have to find ways to reduce e-waste, including helping people extend the life of the devices they have” so they bullshitted in court and since no one in the room understands a fuck about computers they believed those restore discs actually had value as objects -_-
It says very explicitly in the article that the value of the disks is zero, but that he’s going to jail because they were ruled to be worth $700,000. The only way they COULD be worth 700,000 would be if they were licensed hard copies and you had lost your original free hard copy, which they are not. Meaning they ONLY work on licensed Microsoft computers meaning you would HAVE to have bought the computer from microsoft in order to use the disc in the first place.
What that means is that he’s allowing Microsoft users access to something that they already paid for/microsoft already provides for free to those who have purchased computers from them. Microsoft reps during the trial straight up said the discs are worth nothing.
The discs can only work on computers licensed by microsoft, and microsoft provides these discs for free if you buy a licensed microsoft computer. You can get access to the contents of these discs free online. He’s getting charged because microsoft charges $25 each for a licensed hard copy if you lose the free one. He’s providing people help with something they alreay paid for. I know I’m repeating myself at this point but jesus christ.
This man ALSO created the first electronic hybrid recycling facility in the US, AND used recycled computers to build an electric car that outperformed a Tesla so it’s pretty fucking obvious the real reason they’re shutting him down.
i learned that after a man received a heart transplant from a suicide victim, he went on to marry the donor’s widow and then eventually killed himself in the exact same way the donor did (x)
