They're gonna need to have much better PRIDE avatar flags next year to win back my confidence.
I know you're joking but I immediately started thinking that. Is Target going to suddenly have totally legit honest LGBTQ stands again now? I have a feeling we're going to have whiplash with all of these corps.
They will absolutely flip and pander, and people are going to willfully look the other way, because it's too difficult not to have a Facebook.
so we just need to exterminate the c suite of Facebook. just kill them all. kill their families. kill any security guys or house slaves who don't turn on them.
I really don't understand how so many people are unwilling to be mildly uncomfortable
One of my friends won't get off Twitter "because that's where the good memes are". I'm like ma'am you can live on slightly stale memes.
its not conscious, just a bundle of reflex and reaction. it cannot comprehend how to structure personhood and experience differently.
The memes on lemmy are pretty dank, but I like my cheese a little funky anyway
Damn the peasants.
Target is never getting my money again, unfortunately most people's memory is as short as a goldfish
So much of what is wrong with the world in general these days seems to come down to how fucking brainless and easily manipulated people are. Advertising essentially becomes mind control and that's why the whole economy seems to revolve around who can shove the most ads into people's faces.
Target will pay for the Facebook ads, and mindless morons will start wandering right back in again, buying the next stupid fucking Stanley Cup or labubu or beanie babies or cabbage patch doll or monchichi...
That's rather unfair, actually. I've had goldfish and they have much better memories, and better attention spans, than many humans.
Fully agree, the last time I went was once this year, and I paid with a gift card I got from before their bending the knee, so it only took assets away from them. Other than that, I will not shop there.
you should. its like the premier hard mode for shoplifting without getting caught!
Which I find funny because goldfish actually have pretty good memory.
Target ain't doin' so hot because of people like us boycotting them. There are other factors, but they're going the way of Sears.
Sears was actively hollowed out by vultures, and before that they were slow to modernize.
I put my pronouns back on slack today
