Lol

Thank you.

This made me chuckle.

I think my life is stochastic enough. I need more predictability.

I agree.

No, I punched walls when I was a kid for fun anger. But it is understandable for a young person to be rebellious and malicious as we almost all were. There are different levels. the main thing is looking back and realizing it was wrong and wanting to change. There are no bad people in this world, there are just people who do bad things.

Yea, morality doesn’t come into question when I buy products, it should, tho. This post made me rethink a lot of things though and the comments section. Thank the points of view of yourself and the other people who have commented for the fact that I might boycott these brands.

I agree with your point. it depends on what they did not what they support. I could care less what they support. If they did something that was horrible that is a different story. If a music artist committed a major crime, I wouldn’t support them, but if they just support something I don’t agree with, I still might support them knowing I like the music.

This is different for basic needs such as in corporations and needing cheap food such as Nestle which owns so many brands. I support many local and small businesses, I support many small artists.

It all depends on which priority is relied upon and in what circumstance. Is it taste or is it morality. Morality should be first and foremost but it depends on the severity of the behavior. I don’t care if an artist lied to get out of a parking ticket but if they lied to get out of a DUI where they could have hurt someone or actually hurt someone, it is a different story. There are levels of “wrong”. It isn’t black and white, all or nothing thinking. There has to be a gray area to be fair.

No, it means you are responsible enough to look back and realize what you want to change in life. A bad person wouldn’t understand that they did anything wrong. Also, we’ve all did mischievous things when we were young .

No, my point was if it is cheaper to buy the name brand vs the small business that charges more, ethics is less the question and more about separating the product from the creators, just like I separate the artist from the art. There are terrible celebrities who have made good music, what changes about the music, what changes about the product, your knowledge of it. But the product itself is still as it was, your perception of [the creator] is just different. Would you stop paying for recycled plastic if you knew it was once someone’s trash. Ethics is about treating people better. I don’t sit there and think, at the store, let me see who I can support today. No, I buy my groceries like a normal person and look for the deal. I am trying to save money. But that being said, although I still bought fair life, I bought it less after knowing that fact, it still influenced my decision and it was a little more expensive, I liked the taste. But coming down on people for what they support is just as wrong as supporting the thing itself.

The unfortunate thing is the taste is unchanged no matter what nestle did. My wife told me not to buy Fair Life milk products because they abuse the animals. It felt so wrong, but tasted so much better to drink their chocolate milk. That being said, it isn’t always better to save money and buy the cheaper brand, than give up some more money trying to support a small business. However, we never know whether that small business will be the next nestle. It’s hard to pick these battles but separate the product from the ones who make it.

Yea, it was later in the day. But I didn’t realize it would be 69 degrees on 420/Easter. It’s more something I would post if Lemmy existed when I was 15. You have an unfortunate point.

This is giving me nostalgic shock. I remember when that device came out where I was, lol. I feel so old.

This is amazing. Definitely has a style I am into.

They are just bad at it. They try but they must not have enough research plus they are a corporation so they just care about making money. Most of the new stuff sequels and all are trash. I liked the lion king CGI version and the CGI in Avatar, but haven’t seen the second one yet, so I can’t judge. I like what they are doing in Marvel. That is what appeals. If they redo every 2D cartoon movie growing up into decent CGI and to the T of the story, we might have a good set of newer movies. That is how they can appeal. The other new stuff not so much. They have a lot of improving to do, there.

Why would Disney appeal to an older audience? Well, they do since they bought all that other stuff(Fox, Marvel, NatGeo, etc) they have no reason to with their animated ones. The ones they make now continue to be the same themes, generally. But with live action remakes they are trying to speak to both young and older audiences and it doesn’t work as well. They should stick with the CGI remakes.

Make it a goal. Make it a hobby to clean. Put on some great music and clean away. Then, when you are of old age and looking back at that nice clean…filthy f##k’n kitchen, you clean it again.

“Dude, stop eating your fork, the second course is coming soon.”

Can’t, I have cats that like to drink it. I still do the task I just don’t like doing them after I eat, I don’t want to smell food anymore, lol. I do them at the end of the day. I rinse them though.

I liked when it was Hank Green.
