  • Yeah I think people were shopping at Walmart if they were already willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel for low prices and convenience. Target was considered in a lot of groups where to go if you need big box stuff but have a moral quandary with Walmart. I know it was for me, at least. That entire subset of people was already willing to forsake convenience if it meant shopping along with their values. I couldn't like Costco any more than I already did (superfan) so I'm not necessarily going there more or spending more, but I am evangelizing them when I get the chance.

    Basically I think the absolute number of people who shop with their values is relatively low, but a lot of them went to Target, and now they're not. I have certainly vastly decreased the amount I'm shopping there and instead looking for local/direct online sources of goods I would get from there or just forgoing stuff entirely.

  • Totally agree on this - I have forgiven a lot of shit in my life but the one thing that has truly hurt me is when someone I cared about was offended by my methods of expressing concern to them about their behavior, and they retaliated by trying to get my partner to leave me.

    Despite the fact that it was a laughable attempt, the intention to actually hurt me, not just accidental toe-stepping or expression of frustration, is what drew a line for me.

    I will forgive unintentional damage followed by remorse, I will forgive outbursts and emotional interaction, but actively trying to hurt someone is the behavior of an adversary.

  • Same here, the Plex app was super heavy on a lot of my devices and would slow them to a crawl. Jellyfin is lean and runs well even on my slow smart projector. It does everything I need it to and more. I also got sick of Plex trying to shove their content and rentals and streaming services down my throat. Couldn't be happier with Jellyfin.

    Greek roasted veggies and caramelized onion hummus with falafel wrap

    Decided to go with something healthy last night

    The falafel is just bulk bin falafel mix, 4 parts mix with 3 parts water, divided into 1oz balls and baked at 450 for 15 minutes.

    It's green and red cabbage, carrots, guacamole, and tahini dressing except I used red wine vinegar in place of the lemon juice because I wanted a little more tart.

    The seasoning on the veggies (zucchini, carrots, mushrooms) is basically this mix here except I didn't have marjoram, and I added a tsp of citric acid powder. For the tartness. Are you noticing a pattern here.

    The caramelized onion hummus I don't even follow a recipe for anymore, I've been making hummus for so long. It was about half a large sweet onion and some garlic caramelized in olive

  • I think you could sell it by being very vague and not claiming it actually does anything.

    As an example, just rattle off a bunch of insanity as necessary to convince idiots that you "get it" like "keep your blood pure", then do what lots of supplements do with super vague meaningless claims like "Contains Iron which essential for your blood to function properly"

    'The Interview' A Conversation with JD Vance

    I think they do a pretty good job of holding his feet to the fire here. I'm not always a fan of the NY Times, but they do ride him pretty hard about his past statements.

    Linkin Park reunites with 7 years after Chester Bennington's death, with new music

    As someone who grew up loving Linkin Park, I am hesitantly excited. The single they released is actually pretty good - The Emptiness Machine.

    A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

    If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

    Delay. Delay. Delay.
