  • Yeah I think people were shopping at Walmart if they were already willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel for low prices and convenience. Target was considered in a lot of groups where to go if you need big box stuff but have a moral quandary with Walmart. I know it was for me, at least. That entire subset of people was already willing to forsake convenience if it meant shopping along with their values. I couldn’t like Costco any more than I already did (superfan) so I’m not necessarily going there more or spending more, but I am evangelizing them when I get the chance.

    Basically I think the absolute number of people who shop with their values is relatively low, but a lot of them went to Target, and now they’re not. I have certainly vastly decreased the amount I’m shopping there and instead looking for local/direct online sources of goods I would get from there or just forgoing stuff entirely.


  • Totally agree on this - I have forgiven a lot of shit in my life but the one thing that has truly hurt me is when someone I cared about was offended by my methods of expressing concern to them about their behavior, and they retaliated by trying to get my partner to leave me.

    Despite the fact that it was a laughable attempt, the intention to actually hurt me, not just accidental toe-stepping or expression of frustration, is what drew a line for me.

    I will forgive unintentional damage followed by remorse, I will forgive outbursts and emotional interaction, but actively trying to hurt someone is the behavior of an adversary.














  • What happens to the ball? It rolls slowly off the table, and bounces a few times away from the table before coming to a stop.

    What color was the ball? Blue

    What gender was the person that pushed the ball? Male

    What did they look like? Tall, average build, short brown hair with facial hair, maybe mid-30s, gray shirt, brown pants

    What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else? A bit smaller than a basketball, like a ball for kids or a handball.

    What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of? Round, wood, but like the cheap laminate kind with plastic edging. Metal legs. Like a cheap table you’d see in a school or office.

    I feel like I imagined a lot more detail than others. The questions were really easy for me to answer, and like a lot of unnecessary details came to mind. The guy pushed the ball because he was asked to, and he didn’t know why he was there. Probably the schizophrenia.
