  • Sure it’s not every person but now people know that they could be pulled aside and that could be more than just a wanding or patting down, but a series of strangers digging into the device that most people pour massive amounts of their life into. It’s pretty fucking fair to warn your citizens that could happen, and its very fair of them to decide it isn’t worth the risk.

    I’m American. Don’t fucking trust us. Our country is rapidly sliding down the slope to fascism, I hope we figure it out, but don’t fucking trust us. I know people here who wouldn’t bat a fucking eye at invading canada. Not many, but they exist. It’s just a shrug and a “well I’m not military but whatever trump says goes so…”


  • This feels like a conspiracy theory. How many people would be in on the grift? How many do you think could know before it leaks? Opsec clean baybee.

    What’s the real benefit? A distraction? Flooding the zone doesn’t require the president’s greatest supporter monetarily speaking to call him a pedophile online. Is it meant to somehow increase traffic for them? Because I never went to Twitter, I just saw a lot of screenshots. How much can you really earn from a boost in user activity on twitter? It’s not really a financial cash cow right?

    I think it’s as simple as the two worst people you know finally realized they couldn’t fit both of their egos through the door today and shit finally hit the fan.






  • I quite like Costco. And Winco. I really gotta do some research and make sure they’re not secretly shitty, but they’ve both been pretty great for me.

    EDIT: Ok well I did some reading.

    Costco is owned by shareholders mostly. It pays better than most other grocery stores, has a small amount of unionized stores, and also negotiates a non union employee agreement thingy for other employees. Not as protective as a union tho. They also have a few lawsuits and controversies regarding egg/meat production, specifically in treatment of hens at one point. They’ve paid some fines and committed to only producing cage free or whatever eggs. Some still claim the farms are cruel, but I didn’t see any more results on lawsuits yet. They have a couple cases of “fucked up and had to recall food” as well as one case of an employee dying in SK from heat stroke. They were found at fault in that they didn’t strictly enforce the breaks and water rules that were required for summer workers.

    Overall, Costco seems better than most, but with some real flaws and things I hope they improve on.

    Winco doesn’t have a lot of info, it’s privately/employee owned, and they don’t have a controversies section on wikipedia lol. Their history mostly just talks about how they were established. Winco generally seems to pay its employees better than other big grocery stores (ballpark $16 vs $13 for walmart for example). I think the other big thing is they do an employee stock option thing so there’s that too.


  • I feel bad for the minority of owners who may have bought before Musk was so obviously shitty. I didn’t really think of him as anything more than the usual tech ceo until the “calling a rescue diver a pedo” thing.

    And I mean it’s likely a very small minority, but I think a more focused protest would be artistically altering cars on sales lots, or on factory lots. Obviously a lot harder to do, so like, any tesla over no tesla? But I’d prioritize the newer models, and ones that tesla still owns or will likely have to pay to reimburse, gets you the bonus of costing them more money outside stocks/sales.
