Because that might require honest, open communication. And result in more satisfying relationships, wherein the parties to the relationships can actually get what they desire. Who wants that? /s. Hmm, is there a polyamory magazine on the Fediverse? I hadn’t looked… dang, I searched, yielded nada. Am I obligated to make one, now? We’re building a whole new social media. Each contributing as they will.
While it’s not my bag I very much believe people should love the way that makes them and all fully consenting members happy, but there’s not a lot of people that want to be part of something like that tbh. The polyamory itself I mean, not the sub. You should totally make a sub if there isn’t one
Because that might require huge, boatloads of cash. And result in more satisfying prostitutes, wherein the parties to the relationships can actually get paid.
Not sure why a for profit corporation would limit its market to a specific, politically oriented, demographic. Especially when that corporations product is body hair removal - a process very much detached from all political and most social discourse.
They probably decided that support among the “anti-woke” MAGA folks will outweigh the backlash of everyone else. Just trying to find a way to position on the market.
Though history shows this kind of stuff normally fails, with target audience quickly forgetting the move and the rest not giving a damn.
You need to understand the mindset, the culture, the reason it was even created. It’s not their most profitable line, but it’s not about that, anyway. It wasn’t created to make profit; it’s a real product born of a joke. Daily Wire said men & women are different, a handful of people complained to Harry’s Razors, Harry’s ended their business with Daily Wire.
It was initially created solely so men didn’t have to buy from Harry’s. I would argue Gillette as well, but Harry’s for sure, that’s what they launched their product on & they bought IHateHarrys.com & has it redirect to Jeremy’s Razors.
Not a piss take. But yes part of the show. It’s entirely owned and operated by the chuds at the Daily Wire and their entire purpose is right wing culture war. It’s just classic conservative grifting
You joke but they almost certainly do. Why sell something to one group when you can repackage it and sell it to two different groups? And the “women’s” version is usually marked up for no reason.
They don’t. If you look into them it’s entirely a company owned by the same guy that owns The Daily Wire. It’s literally only there to grift from their audience and further their culture war.
Along these lines, there is no stupider entry in the American index than that of “Jeremy’s Razors,” a grooming company created by The Daily Wire, a conservative media platform founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro (a political commentator you may have heard of) and Jeremy Boreing (a former film director you probably haven’t heard of, and the namesake for the venture).
Because they’re not in it for profit. It’s a project of the chuds at the Daily Wire. Any profit is a side effect of their true goal, right wing culture war. It exists to take money from their fans and use their “successful business” to prove that they’re correct. They’d still do it even if it wasn’t profitable just to push their preferred narrative.
Is a real product, with a real commercial, really saying that line. And it wasn’t even for political reasons, they just wanted men to drink their diet soda.
It’s because they’ve conditioned their audience to believe a few key things:
“Voting” with your wallet is what matters over all other forms of action.
Giving money to “woke” companies harms you as an individual.
Buying products is the best way to signal your value as a person.
Let’s break that down.
They want money to be more important than voting, because they understand that their political demographic does not win the popular vote in most cases, and their policies are inherently not popular with the majority. But when they can get money instead, then use that to influence votes and policy, well, that just might get them the policies they want without substantial votes from the public.
They want people to fear giving money to “woke” corporations because it makes them seem like the only source of real truth, and objectivity. They’re the voices of reason in a world that’s all against you. Then, you’ll be willing to pay for their subscription streaming service, and their subscription streaming service for kids, and their merch, and their chocolate, and their razors, et cetera et cetera.
They want you to associate buying products as the way to define yourself, because when you so strongly identify with their politics, you’ll spend as much money as you can signaling to those around you that you don’t support the “woke” agenda through your wallet, you only support those who truly embody your cause. Giving them money becomes a symbol of your values.
And of course, they wouldn’t get any sales without this as a selling point. If they just start a razor brand, not affiliated with their political ventures, who’s gonna buy?Their razors are effectively the same price as Gilette’s, just without the likely higher standard of quality and availability in physical retail locations.
But when they combine all three of those tactics I mentioned to make their target demographic believe they need these razors to display their values, stop a perceived evil agenda, and make their voice heard… well, then you’ve got a good revenue stream.
They’ll never get a huge chunk of the market, but the customers they will have will be loyal and can be leveraged to sell other stuff to. Wouldn’t surprise me if these razors are just repackaged stuff from another brand.
There is an entire coffee company dedicated to mUrica. It’s just fucking coffee but if you sell it right these idiots will buy literally anything that even pretends they be American and conservative
I don’t understand why society demonizes that (the multiple people thing, not the lack of communication). If that’s what’s best for my partner, who am I to stop them? What does exclusivity even get me besides limiting my jealousy?
If someone needs multiple partners in their life to feel fulfilled, then wonderful, but they just have to make sure that everyone involved is fine with that before they get into the situation.
Yes, you’re correct, customer. The more likely answer is not that I am telling the truth, it is that I get off on being willfully obstinate and making up for problems. I’m out to get you.
The truth is I just enjoy wasting your time and my time. I don’t care about my metrics. It’s not tied to my bonus or anything. My one purpose in life is to slow you down and to spite you.
Are you absolutely certain that it isn’t a psyop meant to make millennials feel extremely old and mystified about wtf is going on with Gen Z?
Because after watching the first 40 of those (I tried to watch them all but I just couldn’t), I feel older and more alienated from younger generations than I ever have before 😄
you know, I knew I was out of touch around the time of fidget spinners, but this is a new level of “get off my lawn” I thought I wouldn’t reach til my 30s
I hadn’t actually heard of any abuse allegations either. I also don’t keep up with celebrity stuff anymore. I just knew that if a fruitcake saw him, it would turn to another fruitcake and say “that guy is nutty”
Abusive, yes, but as far as I’m aware not violent. Still fits (calling 911 as per the post), but not for physical abuse.
He has been known to publicly harass and threaten (it’s why he was barred from the Grammy awards), he’s been sued by employees for harassment, intimidation, retaliation,and discrimination, and even failure to pay his employees, and he’s also being sued by his former personal* assistant for sexual harassment, including him masturbating in front of her.
Kanye is 100% an abusive PoS. Just not, as of now, physically abusive afaik.
They’re referring to when someone experiencing domestic abuse calls 999 and pretends to order a pizza, when really that’s a signal to the police that they need help.
I got my D&D Basic box set from a charity shop, £2.50. There’s one going for over £150 on ebay right now. Got my Baldur’s Gate box set from a charity shop too for £2.50. I also got Flash 4 (I think) for a couple of quid, it was selling second hand on amazon for about £200, but I was an anxious, clueless kid and was too scared to sell it.
Even here, some like Oxfam will save the more valuable stuff to sell on ebay. I worked at two charity shops back in my twenties, so I got to the good stuff first haha. The Baldur’s Gate was lucky because another customer was going to buy it for her son, but changed her mind when she saw the age rating, and I was like, bagsy this!
