Okay can we stop it with the DEI sanewashing. It honestly feels like gaslighting. Anyone who worked in corporate America for the past few years could tell you that DEI placed an overwhelming emphasis on race/gender. Those HR girlies were in no way placing emphasis on disabled veterans.

I think the app would need a celebrity spokesman to win over skeptics like you.

How does Brad Pitt sound?

Claiming to on some level support Trump as a government worker is just common sense at this point, regardless of what you actually believe.

There's a sliver of a chance this article goes viral. If MAGA sees him as "one of them", he might get his job back. If not, he might get ruined in ways that go beyond job loss.

It's kinda like some Chinese protests have signs glorifying the CCP and Xi.

I feel like this is gonna be a cash cow for reddit, just not in a way spez can just openly talk about.

A huge portion of reddit is OnlyFans promos. Reddit is making zero off of all this, because traditional advertising doesn't want to associate themselves with porn. A bunch of these "paid subreddits" will basically be a reddit's attempt to compete with OnlyFans.

I honestly think it'll work. There's a lot of money in porn.n

I can't help but feel that a lot of companies would have been better off just staying out of controversial issues only tangentially related to their business.

Do that same thing to Abby's character and you'll get her live action actress.

I do feel the need to point out that the people posting the astronomical egg prices tend to live in the most expensive areas of the country, and don't do themselves any favors in terms of their choice of local grocery store.

Eggs are $4 for 12 at Aldi. While that's a little more than twice what they usually are, it isn't really the biggest deal in the grand scheme of things for an individual consumer.

Are you guys making fun of middle schoolers?

Trump is gonna pretend like he meant forcing the Saudi/Qatar proposal that the Biden administration was attempting to negotiate and people will call him genius.

I appreciate your comment. I feel that DEI in its current form has a lot of things to hate about it. However I usually don't say anything because I'm worried someone will just call me a Nazi or something.

I'm a Jewish democrat, but as a white man I feel like I'm basically guilty of original sin in these types of conversations.

I feel like there's this effort to beat Trump using the 2017 #resistance playbook. I don't think it will work.

One thing to note is that there are a lot of bad American beers in small and mid-sized cities. Basically what happened is that in the 2010s it became trendy to go to a brewery with a food truck and just hang out. As a result a ton of "breweries" opened that were more or less selling the experience, with a handful of low effort trendy selections to serve as a hook.

That doesn't mean there aren't good beers though. America is the land of people who do their own thing, often regardless of social norms and established conventions. There's a lot of great beers across a broad range of categories, it just takes a bit of digging.

As a sidenote a lot of these D tier breweries are closing and/or rebranding. Changing consumer sentiment means merely being a craft brewery is no longer a hook, while rising real estate costs make the entire endeavor more expensive. The breweries in shitty locations tend to close. The ones in good locations tend to massively reduce their own output, while offering a variety of local alcohol and expanded food options.
