    well - to clarify, not really the 'right' cause inasmuch as as fighting its own causes tangential to the cause nominally at hand (namely baby deaths from formula's popularity). This being borne out by the demand that formula be abolished altogether (because it was an issue that mattered to feminists waging New Left wars over body/motherhood issues, and radicals demanding an abolition of unnatural technological advancements etc.), that Nestle be punished in some sense (because it was a Western MNC and Western MNCs were intrinsically part of neocolonial domination; but crucially, also because it was physically accessible to Western activists and visible to Western consumers), but not demanding that, e.g., the milk be sold in sterilized bottled form, as the linked extract notes.

    if your defense isn't going to be "it was my evil twin" you are a supreme moron for taking "driving while license is suspended" to court

    Breast milk is free. That's a huge thing. Bottles, formula, water, everything else, costs money. We know there are conservative lobbyists who push breast-feeding for their own social/religious agendas. But that doesn't make breast-feeding wrong. Breast-feeding isn't tainted by that association, any more than bottle-feeding is tainted by the way Nestle have pushed it, or the way prudes bother breast-feeding mothers.

    yup

    nonetheless there is a passionate war over The Appropriate Way To Feed Your Kid, which I think speaks to a fundamental anxiety amongst young parents, especially young parents in a society that takes consumer choices as indictive of one's values

    well and fine, but that war starts forming coalitions, and allies, and enemies, and then it loses sight of the nominal cause of the argument.

    That's one of the things I learned when I had a kid in a foreign country. There were so many things that were done differently, that in the end I realised there are lots of good ways to raise a kid, and the tremendous pressure on parents to raise kids perfectly was a big problem for parents.

    But that's a luxury of living in a developed country. In poorer countries, being able to feed your child at all is the key issue.

    I figure I could take a bear.

    In England anyway, the courts have done a huge amount of work on making the litigation process more transparent, with clearly written civil and criminal procedure rules that guide the process. Assuming both parties are aware of such it should take a lot of the issues out. Although I suspect in practice it doesn't really.

    If the problem is the water and not the sterilized bottle, this does not seem to be addressing the actual issue either.

    Very much! Haven't touched the single player so I can't speak for it but I definitely enjoy bouncing around the multiplayer. I like Titanfall's mobility more but this is still a nice upgrade to CoD.

    so I randomly googled my username and my twitch channel comes up and then a twitch channel rater cames up and my channel got a D+ and said I was like 9,000,000th place in twitch channels overall.

    I thought that was kind of harsh. I guess I should stream some more and use zany antics to get in the top 4,000,000.
