Yeah, despite the obvious attempt at "US bad" I agree with this dude... we need to go after every large corporation regardless of where it's based. Implement consequences that'll actually hurt these entities rather than just slaps on the wrist. Hold any member of the board or in any management position as personally responsible.

If it's referred to as an "industry" it'll eventually become problematic. It's a shame companies and figureheads will never be held accountable for wrong-doings or misleading the public when acting as an "authority".

Gave the kickstarter page a read and well... it sounds like it's going to be similar to Starfield - vast but shallow. Unless they put in the effort to go around after all the procedural stuff for each of the "thousands of towns" and introduce bits to eliminate the cookie-cutter experience.

Genuinely hope it turns into something great, but it's current competition points towards trends that don't bode well unless this developer is willing to take risks.

"We have no idea why, so here's our woo-woo explanation".

Checked Alarm's privacy policy on their website... and it's kind of sketch. The big ol' "Privacy" link takes you to a page basically saying "We don't sell your info", which OK, cool.

However, scroll all the way to the bottom, and there's another privacy section. That one details what they do with info using their service.

No worries, it was more a concern over flavor than whether there was "salt" in it.

To answer my own question, after OP mentioned brand, I looked it up. The Kirkland Organic No-Salt seasoning does not have any salt/salt-substitute in it, according to the ingredients list.

Contains onion, garlic, carrot, black pepper, red bell pepper, tomato, orange peel, parsley, bay, thyme, basil, celery, lemon peel, oregano, "savory", mustard seed, cumin, marjoram, coriander, cayenne pepper, citric acid and rosemary.

Not sure what "savory" is.

Potassium salt substitute tastes like ass though.

Does the no-salt seasoning use a "replacement" like potassium (iodide?) or is it no salt at all?

I dont know what I expected, but apparently the 1099A form, at least for the US, is for foreclosed on or abandoned property. It's probably a good thing I have no idea how that translates into "Use it to buy a car".

Only 5 tips, and it has to be a video? FFS.
