I am not her to display my CV but I know how Denigrating the brand in front of 4 million viewers raises the signal "I can be fired for that" so if not kicked out from the start, it will be sent for approval to higher levels, and higher levels will never approve it. what you need to understand is that a company spending around $100 million every year in advertising to build a strong brand will never take any risk to damage the brand. It's not like Mr Pillow making buzz on Fox News.

It may have the effect you describe. However, it remains that there was a conservative outrage accusing Microsoft of being woke for trying to decrease energy consumption.

Except that it wasn't an advert promoting a brand, it was exactly the opposite. It was about denigrating the brand on TV in front of around 4 million viewers, not promoting it. Any advertiser proposing it to a well established brand would be kicked out. You obviously have absolutely no idea of how advertising campaigns are assessed and decided in large consumer product groups with high brand equity, such as the Mars group. This is not like the usual SME trying to generate some buzz.

Well, that's exactly what they are trying to do by not using any more the spokescandies, because they have been the target of ridiculous and laughable attacks by conservative nutters. Or do you mean that by changing the shoes of spokecandies to sneakers, which is what most female kids and teens have been wearing for years, they have applied divisive politics?

Classified documents from Biden’s time as VP discovered in private office
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
A comparison of the three cases.by AP Key quotes: "PENCE AND BIDEN: There is no indication either was aware of the existence of the records before they were found and turned over. It appears both sides turned over the records quickly, without intent to conceal. That’s important because the Justice Department historically looks for willfulness, or an intent to mishandle government secrets, in deciding whether to bring criminal charges." "TRUMP: The former president possibly faces exposure for obstruction over the protracted battle to retrieve the documents. And, since he’s no longer in office, he wouldn’t be afforded protections from possible prosecution." https://apnews.com/article/biden-politics-united-states-government-us-department-of-justice-michael-pence-7e616d65db8a76a078d1ec9268c13a77 -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
candide replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
100 is the minimum quantity (not sure It's really enough) to have an effect, and to benefit from scale effect in training. That's why Leopard is so useful as It's the most diffused in Europe. I am not downplaying the high quality of British or French tanks, but if there isn't a large quantity of them, It's a lot of trouble for a relatively limited effect -
First on CNN: Classified documents found at Pence’s Indiana home
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
Well done Pence! You rightly adopted the same faultless behaviour as Biden by turning over the documents to the NARA and the FBI, instead of hiding them and obstructing as Trump did.- 18 replies

It has all to do with the guy you just criticised and his pals. While your country is rightly making sacrifices to support Ukraine, this guy and other MAGA folks are espousing Russian propaganda. Welcome back to reality! https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/oct/02/tucker-carlson-ukraine-vladimir-putin-propaganda

Have you read the OP? Right-wingers have criticized the brand's rebranded female M&M candies, dubbing them "less sexy.", after they changed their high heels shoes to sneakers. Before you start the anti-woke B.S., have you noticed that most female kids and teens are wearing sneakers, and not go go boots or high heels shoes?

It seems Pence was jealous not to get enough attention. Note how, like Biden, and unlike Trump, he did not try to hide them and did not commit any obstruction. BBC News - Classified documents found at Mike Pence's home https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64392871 -

When you want someone to keep silent, you don't send him to court, you do like Trump give him more money. -

Could this corruption scandal signal the end of the EU ?
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Not an EU Vice President, the EU is not a federal state like the US. An EP Vice president, which is the equivalent of a select committee chair in UK. No one is downplaying it. It's you continuously overplaying it, claiming that the whole EU institutions are corrupt, that the EU will collapse, etc... Still waiting for the discovery of mass corruption and the collapse of the EU..... -
Classified documents from Biden’s time as VP discovered in private office
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
As already replied to you before. Not an excuse, a fact which may be relevant as the law specifies that intent is a necessary condition. The law specifies: "knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials". I doubt having a few classified documents scattered here and there can be used to accuse him of such intent! https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1924 Its very different from Trump's case. Trump knowingly removed documents (his own statement in a court document), and has shown intent to retain. Actually he did knowingly retain, hid 11,000 documents, lied about it. An obvious obstruction case. As usual, Trumpers pretend to ignore it and try to distract attention from it. -

Important precision ommitted by Sky: when “don’t knows” are removed "In the first poll on Scottish voting intention released in 2023, backing for a Yes vote was at 46% when “don’t knows” are removed." https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/poll-suggests-54percent-of-scots-would-vote-no-in-independence-referendum/ar-AA16yRXi Has anyone found the detailed results?
