autismspeaks has ruined starbucks

Looks like autismspeaks has decided to extend their propaganda to starbucks: http://www.autismspeaks.org/inthenews/starbucks_cup.php

Nothing like starting your day with a nice fresh cup of starbucks and reading a bleak description of a delvelopmental disability. ::)

Make your own coffee, you lazy bastard.

Anyway, coffee is fucking coffee, despite the variety of brands.

starbuck's is just the same as all the other multinational corporation fuckers.  good - i hope they lose custom hand over fist.

(although, naturally, it's the workers who'll also suffer, as per.  grrrrrrrrrrrrr  :grrr: )

1. I don't have the equipment to roast it.
I BREW my own, but I don't like a burnt roast.
Starbuck's just doesn't seem to understand dark
without burning. Luckily, lots of places do.

2. NO. Arabica beans are garbage, to begin with -
no matter how popular. They should never be used
for a dark roast.

They're building a $tarbucks in my second bedroom.  Those fuckers are everywhere.

True story:  I was meeting my sister and brother-in-law at their hotel in Vegas.  They told us to meet them at the Starbucks.  We waited and waited only to find out later that there were three of them.
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.

They build them DIRECTLY across the street
from one another. Seriously. For people too
lazy to cross the street.

Not that I've seen.
But, I've not been to LA.

NJ was pretty bad, but as
long as you don't mind walking
on a 1 foot shoulder of a highway,
with no lighting, and nowhere to
jump, you can walk most places.

The bigger cities are much better about it.  I lived in the SF Bay area for years without a car.  When I lived in Kansas, you had to have one.  Zero public transportation, and everything is so sprawled out that it would take an hour to walk to the grocers.  I had to drive an hour to Wichita in order to get some decent food, everything in the town was crappy chains.  It felt like the ending of Goodfellas, "After I got here I ordered spaghetti with marina sauce..and I got egg noodles with ketchup."

My aunt and uncle and I don't need a car to get food. There is a grocery store two blocks away where we live but they still use a car when they go grocery shopping because the store they shop at they have membership and the food is cheaper. It's Costco and you need a car when you buy a lot of groceries. You can't take it all on the bus. But they go to the grocery store in our neighborhood when they need a few things like milk or butter pr bread.
