Boycott Starbucks
I started boycotting them a couple years back when I first heard about the union-busting practices. I was previously a twice weekly customer. -More money for me.

Nearly 25% of U.S. workers are "functionally unemployed," economic analysis finds
I'm more curious about the number of people that have functionally dropped out of society. Counting the "unemployed" is usually measured by counting people who are collecting unemployment.

"...proudly a blue dog"
So a Republican with a 'D' next to their name.
With the nature of media it's not hard to notice that 2-3 democratic-socialists get elected to office nation-wide and the establishment wants to act like all problems are solved, even though there are still several-hundred more corpo Democrats that need to be replaced across the country.

How often do y'all use a VPN?
98% of the time. I hate having to turn it off to look at my local grocery store's website but I have done it before.

Americans who say they drink alcohol remains at record low, survey finds
since everyone's just telling personal stories about their alcohol preferences, I'll go ahead and mention that I'm currently on a sangria kick. I've been trying different brands but it intrigues me because sangria is supposed to be made with cheap, sweet wine. I've found the local winery makes some of the best sangria i can find in stores. Once I've tasted enough I may try my hand at making my own.
It surprises me that a lot people think drinking alcohol is synonymous with going out to reataurant and bars. I'm here to tell you that you can also drink at home especially when company comes over or when you are the company going over to someone elses home.

What do we think of "MacGyver"?
McGyver so to say went on a lot of fun adventures. I had a good time watching him even though I knew most of his solutions weren't realistic.
Did I mention that most of his solutions weren't realistic?

Anyone tryed this Henson shaving?
I wet shave with a Muhle R89 and/or a Merkur 23C which are both on the mild side. I hear Henson razors are very high quality in their construction but they are also very mild. If you have very thick facial hair then there are better more aggressive razors on the market at a much better price.
additonally, most quality safety razors provide a smoother shave with less ingrown hairs and less razor burn when compared to their cartridge counterparts. -That is also partly dependent on the blade used. Some blades (like Derby) are notoriously dull, while others (such as Feather or Bic) are incredibly sharp. My personal preference is the Indian-Manufactured Gillette-Wilkinson Sword Blades. They're on the sharper end while still not being as sharp as the others mentioned.

While i generally agree with your sentiment, I don't think the U.S. is going to do much anytime soon since they just legalized home distilling. Also homebrewing alcohol is exceptionally easy.

How'd you turn yours off? They use a protocol on the phones that are designed so the user is unable to turn them off. Do you use a custom OS? -Or do you mean that you shut your entire phone off?

Reply in thread
Both of Trump's election wins were the Democrat's elections to lose. If Hegseth ran for office, it's very possible he could win just as a result of the Democrats fumbling again. -The bar is so low.

That's nothing new. we've known this for the better part of two decades now. Ever since facebook and youtube started promoting controversial content in their feeds
