  • The founder/CEO actively donates to anti-LGBT organizations, including ones that support conversion therapy. The guy is an awful piece of shit, and any decent person should take whatever steps necessary to not support them.

    Thankfully, that's as simple as not using Brave.

  • I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth.

    I'd also prefer companies have strict policies against that sort of thing, and if I found out a company was fostering a workplace where that awful view is acceptable, I would boycott them as well.

    The founder generally receives the biggest piece of the pie. That's obviously a more significant thing. Frankly, I think you know this and are simply arguing in bad faith.

    And get out of here with your purity test bullshit. Yeah, I personally go to some pretty extreme lengths to boycott companies. But that's nowhere near as important as the general spirit of being against bigotry and opposing it, violently if necessary, anywhere you see it.

  • If you can't see why one would boycott a company with a loud and proudly bigoted founder, i don't know what the fuck to tell you other than you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

  • Get the actual fuck out of here with your both sides bullshit. Boycotting a company for being bigoted is not the same as boycotting a company because you yourself are a bigoted piece of shit.

  • Didn't have any bullies in high school (thankfully), but my elementary school bully ended up becoming one of my better friends. Nothing crazy, kid was just a shithead when he was little, he moved to the other side of the district and I didn't see him again til HS. Completely different and really chill person by then.

  • I will forever maintain that 8th graders are the most vicious people on this planet

  • I had a relatively similar experience. Some people were definitely treated like shit, but there's was nearly none of what's classically considered bullying, especially of a physical nature. Im not pretending it was some utopia where everybody got alone, but the vast majority of people were far too busy worrying about their own shit.

  • Yeah that's just... not how that works? People are perfectly capable to keeping to themselves without necessarily being bullied

  • Clarification. Half the electorate doesn't see genocide happening because they don't see Palestinians as humans

  • It's pretty simple. The market is not rational, and anyone trying to convince you otherwise is an idiot

  • Cmon man at least make sure it's the right case if you're not going to read the article

  • For most these things, it is far cheaper to simply use some sort of SaaS than to actually set things up in house. There's probably plenty of times where it'd in theory be cheaper in the long term, but most businesses are going to see the short term savings as extra capital to try to expand.

  • Except, yknow, the vast majority of people don't need an SUV, and they're objectively pedestrian and child murder machines

  • To eventually be replaced with just outright pissing on his grave

  • Oh absolutely agreed. The fact we have to play these games in the first place is bullshit

  • As someone from MO, fuck IL's tax. Went from paying $125 for a gram of wax to $40 once MO legalized.

    It's better than it being illegal, obviously, but it's so clearly only that high so they can extort out of state buyers.
