    Bud is cheep swill that is easy to order. It will come back because the people who are boycotting it are not going to remember modello or whatever they switched to. It is the same reason marlboros are the best selling brand cigarettes. It is a habit purchase, and habit purchases are hard to get away from. Boycots do not work well over time because the people who reach for bud light will always have that habit association and come back to that brand because it is ingrained in their activities. You order it mindlessly if it is your beer of choice. It is a habit and those are hard to break.

    Disney is a bit of a different story in that they can be generationally replaced as the go to kid's place. They will not be replaced because of woke. They will be replaced because an alternative takes their throne. That is why they buy up everything popular so you have to go to their brand to find popular things. The problem is you spend so much money on franchises that are not guaranteed to be as popular over time. They bought marvel and star wars after their innovation. Sure it will still sell, but they might never get back their prime numbers. Disney is always going to be a fading star because they are working off of nostalgia. It has nothing to do with being woke. Woke might help them to bring back a new generation to their brand, but they are always late to the game.

    Target is fucking useless. They are trying to be the upscale walmart, and they simply do not have the better merchandise that make it worth making a trip to their store. Nothing is ever there. I am more likely to find stuff at walmart and it is cheaper. If I want something special I am going to someplace better than Target. I don't give a fuck how glbt friendly you were. I do not care that you had women's bathing suits for trans women because I already figured out how to buy a women's bathing suit with a bit more room in the crotch to tuck. I did not need a label to do that. When I want the cheap I go to fucking walmart where the cheap is cheap. Not for nothing, I do not want to shop with the more upscale people who are judgemental about labels and where you buy things. That is a sure sign I am going to get fucking nasty looks shopping in the women's section. I am not paying an extra buck or two to shop in a store who's marketing is we are more classy to buy your cheap ass shit. For the better food selection I will go to the local supermarket. For the better merchandise I will go to an actual specialized retail store. I have no reason to make a special trip to target unless it is closer than walmart, and it never fucking is.

    *provides examples*
    "...well that's cherrypicking! :shakefist: "

    :lol: Fucking doofus.

    I'm not one of your derelict addicts. I think I'll survive your withering critique.

    UA is only here because any other place that wanted to cultivate the basics of respect and intellectual integrity would have moderated him right out the door. He wouldn't even last at another site with the right wing chucklefucks. His basic trolling of the trans people, and his identity of playing jack and diane with @Jenee would not even get a second glance in another board. By the time they got annoying enough to be noticed he would be bounced by the mods and she would have no reason to be there without working herself up into a sexual froth so she can gargle down a little more UA protein smoothie.

    dude you are so much more pathetic. Take your cum dumpster and see how long you last over at trekBBS. Of course you won't because no one else but wrodforge would have anything to do with your humiliation kink. You wouldn't even troll a response. You would be like dayton over on debate politics. For all his insanity no one even noticed him.

    You need wordforge much more than wordforge needs you. Well, maybe not. I guess if you went away there would be much less to talk about and argue over and WF is running out of right wing goons. They are starting to pull people from the fucking TK penalty box, and how many maggots are over there to harvest?
    You lose @Clippy and @Volpone and who is left? You cannot even get castle back now. The old ones are dying off like dayton's feet and when they are gone there is no coming in to fill the ranks.

    be careful on that bike because we are running out of right wingers with a humiliation fettish. Eventually subway food poisoning is going to kill the boy.

    It would hbe more like what happened with dayton. He wouild start ranting about those things and no one would even bother clicking on like. They reallyu do not care about the new guy because they want the attention for themselves. They just scroll right on by because they do not know him. The other side doesn't care to argue with someone with a low post count unless they can land a few insults. No one would notice him and @Jenee.

    When I went over there it took some work to start to get like likes and assists. Arguing with dayton was actually pointless because he just drifted into the background. If you want to get noticed you have to find out who gets noticed and then score some fucking points on them and then you get some response. Thi9s is why people from TK are only important on TK and WF.

    You guys have a much different view of what a troll does than most of the rest of the internet. It takes work to get a fucking name for yourself and reputation on an active site with a large post count. It is the introvert delusion that anyone actually cares to bother them. When you are an introvert natural behavior of others bugs you, but people don't even know they are crass and annoying in general. It is not personal, people treat others like shit because that is what most people do.

    Whether your thinking meat can contend with it or not, it IS possible to disagree with you without agreeing with "nazis."

    I think we all agree that it is possible to happen, but obviously @Uncle Albert and @Steal Your Face destroyed that possibility long ago by agreeing with the Nazis.

    Logic is not UAs strung suit. It is not even something he seems to be able to apply at all.

    I will say he does have more experience in the real world than you do when you constantly tell us that you define your own universe and will not participate in things other people know.

    These are your fucking rules and you cannot live by them? Either start playing by common rules or fuck the fuck off until we go to albertopia to play with you.

    Considering that conservatives, libertarians, crypto-fascists...et. al. like to cite the cliche that the only legitimate purpose of corporations is to make money for their shareholders, I'm interested in how the conservatives, libertarians, crypto-fascists...et. al. get so bent out of shape over "diversity" and "woke" initiatives. If we can assume that their not doing out of the kindness of their black, flabby corporate hearts, we are left the assumption that they are taking these measures because they feel like it's a way of * wait for it *... making more money. In some cases, it seems to be working (Barbie) in others, not (Bud Light) although as rightly pointed out elsewhere Bud Light is barely drinkable (if that) swill. To me it's no different, than any other corporate change of direction: some work (Apple's move away from personal computers to iPhones) in other cases, not so much (remember "New Coke"?). It's enough to make you wonder why the conservatives, libertarians, crypto-fascists...et. al. are really so upset by diversity and woke initiatives. :chris:

    hey... just the identical response to whenever I post you demonstrable facts.

    well, other than here where I've demonstrated more plausible hypotheses than your reactionary screeches.

    You sure you aren't one of those derelict addicts? You sure share similar logic to someone who has inhaled too many gasoline vapors recreationally.

    na, the grammatical error was using "of" rather than "with" or "using".

    but I can generally pop out a response without that sort of crutch (one of the benefits of having completed elementary school-you really should go back as a student some day)
