I better not drink a bud light at the bar. This virtue checking of brands and products is such bullshit, it's so tiresome. That is something that loving sucks these days.

StrangersInTheNight posted:if new balances are as important to you as single digit math, then sure. just wear the new balances, or don't, but holy poo poo don't get on people who don't wanna deal with that, that they're not putting in the effort to 'normalize' poo poo so it doesn't get 'taken' by the white supremacists or whatever The only people trying to normalize anything in this thread are a bunch of conflict-averse shitlib cowards desperately trying to normalize letting white supremacists 'take' things because they're too stupid to understand how that works. If you let lovely people 'claim' things willy nilly it lets them pretend their support is more widespread than it is, and that makes you no better than anyone else who turns a blind eye to this bullshit, regardless of what you pretend to believe.

Big Bowie Bonanza posted:Gonna get a 1776 tattoo I just love America It's still absolutely wild to me that at my last job there was a guy who decked his desk out in all manner of this poo poo and had a rotating lineup of 1776 shirts he'd wear on casual Fridays. Just straight up flaunting that he's a blood and soil white supremacist for years right there in the middle of everyone.

I liked this song that popped up at random on Spotify/the radio/a store/a commercial/a movie Whoa man I can't believe you support that artist, how could you go against their victims like this? I still have a large backlog on background checks so this is a concern.

deep dish peat moss posted:New balance is great for ppl with flat feet they're basically the only shoe that has no arch support at all also this is why new balances own. they also have a bigger toe box than a lot of other shoes which is great for me i will second whoever posted that new balance's high end running shoes have definitely gotten shittier. i'm on my fourth pair since the pandemic started and each one has been increasingly less well made. they are holding up until the tread is gone still but just barely. my first pair were in perfect shape except for the tread

People who allow white supremacists effortlessly to claim any innocuous thing they cast their eyes on claiming they're somehow fighting the good fight is a lol If you're acting like wearing a common, popular brand of shoes is like trying to "reclaim" the swastika and Hitler 'stache you should probably take a break from whichever corner of the internet you picked that up in because you're losing touch with reality.

They're almost opposite shoe design. New balances don't last as long as they used to but the fresh foam x stuff is really nice while it lasts. But I bought a clearances pair of NB gloves and the grip is falling off after a month. Not impressed.

trying to return some bullshit to amazon, but the only return option is to show a qr code to the ups store employee, ostensibly letting you off the hook from printing the label yourself. but i live pretty far from an actual ups store, and all the independent shipping stores around me don’t accept that qr code, and amazon reps are saying they can’t just send me a shipping label

Ordering anything you wear from Amazon can be an arduous experience. I've got two skateboarding helmets by my door while I wait for the third to arrive to see if that one fits, then I'll return everything at once. Hopefully all to Staples.
