    Anduril, Palmer Luckey’s foray into military hardware and an ever-present surveillance state. Some of the first hardware they rolled out were surveillance towers for the US border patrol.

    So Mark Zuckerberg officially isn’t the only giant pile of shit connected to Oculus, the original owner is a fucking pile of shit, too.


    Trader Joe’s is also thought of by many people as “progressive” and a “good company.” Go learn about the conditions in their warehouses and you’ll find out that’s not true at all. I had a friend who worked TJ’s warehouse in Lacey, WA and all he had was fucking horror stories and how the warehouse was owned and run by MAGA fucks.

    EDIT: Found the article my friend was excited about coming out that didn’t seem to get any MSM traction.

    Inside ‘Teflon Joe’s’: Why your favorite grocery store is not what you think

    How Trader Joe’s remains a beloved brand despite record product recalls, safety violations, worker misconduct complaints, and an environmental record that belies its reputation.

    So yeah fuck Trader Joe’s.


    Oh yeah and the CEO of Protonmail revealed himself to be a Trump supporter.

    So fuck Protonmail.


    The Brave browser CEO recently went on an hinged rant on that orange site about “lefties,” “glowies,” and George Soros. He also has a long history of being anti-gay, which is why he lost his job at Firefox, and Brave itself has a shady history with stuff like injecting affiliate codes into URLs.

    So fuck Brave.

      Stopped shopping at Trader Joe’s after their anti union shenanigans. Shame because we love their food

        I have found a small amount of Trader Joe’s food labelled under different brand names at WinCo. Same companies producing the food, just boxed and bagged with a different name.

        To be clear, WinCo also has it’s own issues.

      Let’s keep that surveillance state alive because nothing screams democracy like never trusting anyone!

      That’s a shame about Brave, does anyone have an reccomendations for another browser that reduces digital fingerprinting in a similar way?
