I didn't expect this at all and am deeply hurt.

I really thought the handpicked second most powerful person in the country would differ significantly in policies from the people who handpicked her.

Chat censoring should be mostly on the user side with user controlled blacklists and whitelists, with moderator involvement mostly for circumventing the filters.

Don't want to see "penis"? Put it on your own blacklist.

Ok. But should you never put citrus in your garbage disposal because it summons the pipe demon, or are you supposed to put citrus in your garbage disposal because it repels the pipe demon?

Also the notion that children aren't allowed to do certain things that adults frequently do in front of them somehow magically doesn't apply to curse words.

Kids can't smoke, drink, drive cars, change light bulbs, use the stove and oven... But no one ever says adults aren't allowed to cook in front of the kids because kids might get the wrong idea. They tell the kids not to use the stove and respond appropriately if the kids do anyway.

You can skimp on ammo, but not on looks.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the mind altering substances Oscar Wilde accidentally consumed pale in comparison to the ones he knowingly consumed.

Whichever editor let them post "100 thousand" should be spanked one 100 times with the severed hand of whatever asshole wrote it in the first place.

Even if they did damage anything their message is that anyone getting mad about damaging works of art or heritage sites through direct action should be just as mad about people destroying the actual entire planet indirectly and calling for their immediate imprisonment too.

As annoying as I find them and as much as I want to preserve these things, they're exactly right that paintings and rocks mean fuckall if we ruin our only home.

OP doesn't specify, but I read the gripe as it's a branded truck that's basically an advertisement you pay to give to your kid. And it's geared towards kids exactly to expose them at a young age and make a positive association that will pay off when they grow up.

I like UPS more as a company than FedEx or Amazon because it supposedly has a decent union and actually pays their employees. But the toy itself is still an ad, and I personally don't view it any more highly than I view similar Amazon truck toys that pander to children. If it were some generic delivery truck I doubt anyone would even notice.

"Can think for herself".

Dude really wants to do the "Where do you want to go eat?" "I dunno, where do you want to go eat?" vicious cycle?
