It was cardboard with red and yellow paint on it.

Is there a story behind it that you can share?

That is awesome!

Hopefully not because you're that upset all the time!

That's super cute!

Those things used to be on every single bank drive-up teller booth in the 80's and 90's.

Truth. Whatever they did 10-15 years ago made it tolerable. Not great, but tolerable.

Counterpoint - you can boycott whoever you want for as long as you want whether the world is getting saved or not. Try not to give a shit what other people are doing. You don't have to change the world. You just have to stick to your own principles. And if enough people do that, the world will change anyway. But all you can control is your own actions.

I have a long list of boycotted companies that I have never gone back on. Started with Blackjack Pizza in college when they wouldn't refund a pizza that had oven cleaner all over the bottom of it. Facebook gone for 15 years now, and I go without the cool Quest VR stuff. Walmart kicked to the curb around the same time for their gross abuse of their employees. Amazon ditched 3 years ago, don't miss it. I'd love to have Starlink to put on a vehicle when I travel the country, but it'll be a cold day in hell before Muskrat gets a dollar out of me. Canceled all my Target shit (20 year card member) a couple months ago over their DEI bullshit and won't set foot in one again. I shop at Costco as a single adult. The list goes on.

And while I wish other people would give these companies the finger so real change would happen, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that I am sticking by what I believe.

sob I know sob

I'm about to hit 50 and I'm still not done crying.

Yeah there's definitely some rose tint looking back to the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Crime was ridiculous compared to the levels these days, just for a start. But it was just 'normal'. We've made a lot of progress there. Which is about to be undone as people get increasingly desperate.

I'll start warming up the volcano.

I can’t talk about cloning or migration since I always greenfield when I redo my OSes, but definitely recommend installing Linux first, with the Windows drive disconnected, then connecting the second drive and installing Windows on it. That way Linux owns the bootloader. This has been trouble free for me.

I'll be in my bunk.

You are now a mod of /c/TheyDidTheMath

I miss mine when I travel, too. It's always nice to come home to their complete disinterest, too. "Oh it's you again" lol. Until dinner time when suddenly they are a fan again!

Actually one of my two greets me right away, but the other one likes to give me the cold shoulder for a couple hours after I come home from a trip, to let me know how unhappy she is with the whole situation. When I haven't been away, she's always a sweetheart.

And some people still think Bill Hicks was exaggerating.

Other times they require me to use the hands to open cat food.

If you work there, run away fast.
