    What is this weird as fuck idea these people have that they’re entitled to a company’s advertising money?

    I remember seeing on Shitter the founder of Home Depot was supporting Trump and people were saying they wouldn’t shop there anymore.

    The snowflake Trump supports were upset people would do that because it was hurting the workers. I guess it only matters when it is their cause.

      Any argument they make is just what they think will have the most chance of getting others to agree with them. They didn’t give a fuck about the workers in either case just like BP didn’t really give a fuck about the retirees that depended on their survival.

    “LET THE MARKET DECIDE!”

    “Yeah, the market hates you!”

    “Wait, not like that!”

    I’m confused about this lawsuit. Haven’t advertisers always been allowed to not advertise in places they don’t think align with their brand?

    The Bud Lite treatment: “boycott” for a few weeks and then go right back to buying their stuff. In fact I’d be surprised if they did that much in enough numbers to make even a wiggle in Dunkin’s bottom line for the quarter.

      I mean Bud Lite was significantly affected, but that’s mostly because the people boycotting it were the only ones buying it in the first place. I don’t think the right has a monopoly on Donuts and Coffee in the same fashion.

      Rumble/Locals is a video sharing platform, like YouTube, and you don’t have any of the ridiculous no-no words & censorship of YouTube to abide by (under threat of age-gating, deletion, demonetization). You can say words like: suicide, depression, covid, vaccine, Hitler, porn, pedophile, etc etc etc without people getting all weird.

      You can stream copyrighted content & watch a movie together, as long as there’s some banter & you’re not straight ripping movies. It’s fun, it’s like watching with friends.

      Each creator can enforce THEIR OWN censorship & values on their community as they see fit, the only thing(s) Rumble/Locals does not want to see are: porn, child porn, and idk probably like extreme gore.

    Whatever blip Bud Light experienced was due to their flip flopping. I was ready to start stocking up for our annual July 04 bash and would have gone out of my way to buy some (even though I don’t normally) until they rolled over for the magas and fired the person responsible for sending that single can of bud light to a trans influencer. I know others had a similar thought process, because I’ve seen it discussed online and in meatspace.

    I’m sure I’ve bought products that they own since then unknowingly, but haven’t knowingly bought an AB product since then. All they had to do was take a stance, but they proved to be exactly what all megacorps are - greedy and spineless. Edit: Just like Target, I might add.

    Another f-ing right-wing weirdo, lovely. I haven’t been in a DD since I was 10 and we don’t have them here on the left coast AFAIK but if there was any kind of boycott by these freaks, hell I’d mail order a half dozen boxes (if they do MO) and share at the local food pantry. DD donuts are awesome, loved them as a New England kid.

      No, they’re not. The donut quality has gone to the toilet, both in terms of workmanship (they come in frozen and par-baked, I think) and materials (they taste plasticine). The coffee tastes like dishwater.

      Service is still quick and not terrible, and they’re everwhere, and reliable. But by no means are they awesome.

      (I still get a boston cream donut and medium regular after I’ve been away for a while. It’s just a sign of home for me, but that’s maybe twice a year at best.)

        Where I’m at, the service is slow and terrible in addition to the other points you’ve made. DD went downhill and then off a cliff.

        Agreed on this summary - however - DD’s cold brew is significantly better than the majority of chain spots. Hell, it’s even better/more consistent than a lot of small local shops in my area as well.

          That’s probably true. I think I’ve only had theirs once. Most places, it tastes sour for some reason.

          Personally I just make cold brew at home because it’s so easy.

    I don’t normally buy donuts for the office because the lines are long, but now… 😊🍩😋
