The Ukraine comparison was a little gross. But, the US is staring down the barrel of an out right, hitler-worshiping, fascist regime. Lives and rights have already been lost, and I for one don’t want to be here when they start putting people in camps.
Definitely not the same as having Russia invade your country and murder your family, but don’t act like a lot of lives (in and outside of the US) aren’t hanging in the balance here.
Not only is it not, its not even the only product marketed this way. Off the top of my head I’ve heard of anti woke coffee, beer, phones, foods… I don’t remember what any of them are called because that’s not a good use of brain space.
What’s woke coffee? Every coffee joint I can think of, diners and artisanal shops excluded, are the union bustingest, republican donatingest, fair weather friends in the world.
I actually bought a bag of their beans after they publically distanced themselves from him. It wasn’t bad I guess, nothing spectacular. Although I’m giving up coffee slowly, probably wont buy another bag.
Starbucks goes pretty left. Shops generally speaking idk i think you’re right…now the roasters, the bean brokers, the plantations…I’ve seen bits of left ideology here & there. The main thing I care about is: can you make a good bean? Does it taste good? There was one bean out of Africa, had all this FairTrade feel-good stuff behind it. Tasted a cup of the brew & I’m like…pack it up, boys. This isn’t even good coffee. ¯(°_o)/¯
Oh idk about all of that. I don’t go to Char bucks unless I have to. I do know this: holy shit they have some good benefits for their employees. I think they pay well for schooling, and I know for a fact a young man quit his job at a lumberyard to become a Starbucks barista. Why? Among other things, to get good healthcare for his entire fucking family. By being a Starbucks barista!
…it doesn’t really make sense to me, either, but he did what he had to do & seemed generally happy with the arrangement.
I’m gonna make some tooth brushes in two marginally different styles and sell one in rainbow and various LGBT flag patterns for the left and sell the other in camo, thin blue line flag and gun metal grey patterns for the right. Market the hell out of both of them based solely on being ideologically polarized to those each side hates. Milk everyone on both sides of their cash. And when they finally inevitably find out that they’re both produced by the same company, I’ll gamify it, posting weekly sales totals for each line and promising 20% of the profits at the end of the year get donated the a non-profit supported by the winning side. Let them fight each other by paying me. Also, no matter how overwhelming one side was actually winning, my posts would always indicate that it is a really close race, so that if just a few more people bought them, it might make a big difference.
That’s all bullshit, I’d never do that because I’m not evil. But dozens of Libertarian sociopaths are taking notes right now.
I’d never do that because it sounds like a lot of work and you’d probably just get bought out or run out of business by Colgate or the other big companies.
So, what happened is Harry’s Razors used to run ads on the Daily Wire, then pulled them because… They’re the daily wire, basically. The guy who owns the daily wire took it personally and launched Jeremy’s razors to stick it to em.
Some singer called Charli released an album called Brat. And some fans decided it was “Brat girl summer”. Charli subsequently tweeted that Kamala is brat after her candidacy was announced and doing well. Harris’ campaign team changed her banner on Twitter/fb to the same green color as the album for a time after the tweet. Fuck if I know why anyone cared about this.
Someone faked an excerpt from JD Vances memoir “hillbilly elegy” stating that Vance had admitted to fucking a kleenex box between some couch cushions. For obvious reasons the internet decided that this was very memeable and ran with it.
The couch fucking really exploded when the AP put out a fact check saying he “didn’t have sex with a couch”, but then retracted it because they can’t definitively say that he has never, in private, had sex with a couch
“Nobody wants to parkour their way through our application obstacle course for (a chance at) a probationary position with shit pay and no benefits that we can yank away at any time because we don’t like the color of tie they wore during our mandatory unpaid off-hours team building event.”
Only stuff I like in some thrift store is power supply/adapter. Say I need for a project or to replace faulty one, a 8.4V 300mA wallwart? a 15VAC one? etc, just go in the bin at the thrift store, some are 1$ or 2$ It’s dull I know.
Interesting that they target “manly, conservative men”… yet they look like they’re made of the saem cheap, shitty plastic most other disposable/cartridge razors use. And look at the ergonomic design… dont want their manly wittle hands cramping.
Politics aside, fuck cartridge razors and fuck products designed to generate trash.
