Weird, this mention didn’t show up in my notifications.

Good context. It’d take one hell of a boycott to impact global sales. AB is huge.

A lot of people on social media are acting like this boycott didn’t work. It totally did. Love it or hate it, it worked.

I don’t know how Corona did, but Bud Light does appear to be struggling. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/business/bud-light-sales.html

Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn’t exist. I’ll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.

Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don’t see a problem at all.

I’ve heard that cited in stories, usually older. A baby dies and they blame someone leaving the door open too long and letting in a draft.

It’s subtle, but I only use just enough to pop the kernels. I also have a jar of it by the stove most of the time.

Never tried Ghee. I usually use canola, coconut, or bacon grease. I’m up for more buttery flavor though. Thanks!

The beatings will continue until morale improves. You WILL behave for the shareholders.

Thank you, that was helpful.

It’s definitely a wait and see situation. My Reddit account is gone, so if Lemmy continues to grow I see no reason why I’d go back. If Lemmy dies, then obviously I wouldn’t have anywhere else to go.

Can you imagine the push it’ll take to implement when probably half the country is too uneducated to understand how it works?

It was probably the extreme surge in popularity. Sustaining hate for something so innocuous is difficult long-term, so people lost interest. My son and I started in season 2, and he still plays with his friends. It’s a phenomenal social game.

That’s my guess anyway.

I’ve got a 25 year old relative without a license. Guess what he always needs? A ride.

Not to say OP is the same burden. I’m sure you just live in a city with decent transit.

The bus in my town arrives every 90 minutes. For my usual 13 minute drive to the grocery store, it would take 52 minutes according to Google Maps. That’s IF I somehow found myself at the pickup(3 miles from my house), boarded right away, and hopped right back on after shopping. We’re a family of 4, so how many groceries would I be carrying through this ordeal? Probably more than I’d prefer. It’s just not feasible in rural America, and incredibly inefficient.

Public transit is the slowest option everywhere I’ve lived(cities from 5k to 500k population).

Disturbed people, smelly people, loud music, unwelcome conversation, fights, and urine/food/filth on the seating has also made public transit a last resort for me.

Driving and all it’s privileges is an absolute pleasure when you don’t live in too big a city.

I’m gonna guess that was the first run.

It’s far from perfect, but I’m taking a stand.

Half the reason I used Reddit was to cure boredom. I’ve decided to find other things to do. The other main reason I loved to check in was to make sure I don’t miss big news. So far, Lemmy seems to scratch that itch. It’ll take a long time for niche communities to establish, but I’ll just deal with that for now. Maybe I’ll just go back to some old forums for that purpose.

People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.

Debates are going to be sponsored and watched like sports, moreso than they already are. It’s gonna be a shit show.
