(last to Cat)

So, there is a SCA Garb How-to group

a guy posted that Hobby Lobby had a good deal on linen

DOGPILE.

Including lovely personal attacks that poster was evil for supporting them, that anyone who shops there is evil, etc

then mocking him when he left the group

*sigh*

then someone posts that the dogpile was unchivalric and bullying

Which it was it sounds like

and the super-Wokes are back again about how JUSTIFIED they were

I mean, I get why folks choose not to shop at HL, agree with their reasons, and do not generally patronize it myself outside of work.

for work, I have an obligation to meet the best prices and I make that compromise.

Yup.

but when the only fabric store within an hour's drive is HL? Well, shit, that's what it is.

Agreed.

Oh, geez...yeah, my local arts minister mentioned something about this.

I mean, ok... other people may have a passion that overcomes the need to touch and know fabric before they buy but.....

Not Judging?

I mean, they're just being self-righteous assholes

To be honest. The protests against Chick Fil A were often so obnoxious it made me WANT to eat there. And I don't even like the place that much.

Sometimes the self styled enlightened are their own causes worse enemies

Chick-Fil-A is the only restaurant on campus open after 3 pm. trust me, I've eaten there.

And while I have issues with corporate, the local franchise owner is decent and treats the employees well. /shrug

Yup. Local manages and so on matter.

I do have opinions on both matters, but usually keep them to myself.

As for a hobby lobby around here? I edon't know where they stand on a lot of things. But the folks who rely on the jobs there seem nice.

As said, I understand the reasoning behind the boycotts, and certainly support those who do so... but not when you call someone who doesn't boycott "evil"

Ya'll... .we live in a world where you have to choose between food on the table and your morals.

*takes a knee*

yup

my guiding principle: "Don't be a dick."

"It's all Chaos. Be Kind."

Good quote

There's boundaries to kindness. Don't be a doormat. Don't let people act in a way that actually harms others. It gets tricky.

True enough. You also have to be kind to yourself.

also true

but there are ways to be firm without being needlessly mean

Fuckity fuck fuck... trouble posting....

Agreed.

Back?

Back!

There she is.

WB shady

Sorry, gotta go make dinner.

And start laundry.

And eat dinner.

Might be a while.

Later you 🙂

Thanks for the RP
