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.

Ah yes the famously honest and straightforward Trump administration

Tech journalists are used to reporting on people who think their shit tastes like candy just because people are willing to eat it.

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.

Haha same, because yellow and orange and two of the common ones. I could see not being aware of white and purple because they are pretty niche and rare.

Um. 2/3 of the bell peppers? There are yellow, orange, purple, and white bell peppers too. Do your bell pepper research. Amateur.

Shoulda been like "we applaud this act of transparency and mainstream media olive branch from Hegseth"

I have a rechargeable trimmer. Like you, I'm never going for that ultra-close shave. I have fairly light/thin facial hair though, so the 5 o'clock shadow looks works well for me.

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.

It just seems very precarious and unstable.
