I love it although granted Im mostly about the dropping out on consumerism. Really leaning into the reduce and reuse of the three R's. I recycle despite it being rather obvious what I put in is likely going to the send endpoint as the regular garbage with maybe pulling some choice metals or such. I firmly expect the these actions are useless comments as I have been seeing them a lot but its not like what I do is based on social media unless its a new idea I have not thought of that gels with me. For some reason this comic makes me think of this rem song that I am not listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBS6N1k4FsQ

Costco used to be a symbol of overconsumption and large scale consumerism. Now they are one of the few retail companies pushing back against the wave of anti-DEI.

Target in particular should have followed their example. their main thing in recent times is being both a walmart and a bit of an amazon alternative.

Target seemed to embrace minorities and LGBTQ, pushing products and creators and being visible about it. Turns out it was all corporate shenanigans and the pendulum is swinging back hard.
