Every one of the comments in this thread is almost the exact same thing. “I already boycott them, duh!” or “Starbucks is crap compared to what I like.”

I don’t like Starbucks either, but you don’t have to be pretentious to stand for work reform. Like what is going on here? Get over yourselves.

Whoa, easy tough guy.

I see no issue with using your own image to monetize yourself and help people along the way. I see a problem when money starts to get hoarded by the ultra-rich and they rape the IP and destroy anything that was worth anything.

I love Dolly. Went to Dollywood back in April. I would hate to see her estate picked apart and monetized, but you and I both know where this leads.

Stop it!

That’s entirely, vastly, and certifiably incorrect.

EDIT: Unless you mean jalapeno, serrano, or pablanos or something. I thought you meant green or sweet peppers.

actually supper simple.

Low effort, high payoff. Bacon is a good sub for pancetta too.

Ranch dressing from scratch is like 7 things.

8. You gotta add a little love. Trust me, I’m from the midwest.

JFC, all they want to talk about is trans.

Because everything else is going so well for them!

Don’t buy it?

Dinosaurs had capitalism.

That guy beats his wife and kids, I guarantee it.

There’s plenty more that they complain about with teachers. They complain that they are ineffective, promote progressive ideals, target their children’s shitty behavior, aren’t held accountable, and the whole “those who can’t do, teach” bullshit.

I used to be a teacher. I’ve seen it all, heard it all.

I’ve noticed that recently too. I watched “Life in Pieces” recently and it’s like every other scene this family is drinking.

I tried SMART meetings. I felt as if the people there had significantly worse trauma and alcoholism than me and it made me feel like since I wasn’t as bad as them that I should still be able to keep drinking. When I have stopped drinking in the past, focusing on what’s wrong with me doesn’t help me focus on the positives and moving forward. Everyone is different though.

Maybe I will

You think if I could, that I just wouldn’t? No. I have been trying for years and can’t. I may not get withdrawal symptoms, but the societal pressures and habits drive me back to it.

I’d rather become a Buddhist and change my perspective which will eventually help me.
