What brands do you avoid at all cost? I don’t keep up with the news all that much, and many of the reasons to avoid something don’t make it there anyway. So I’m asking here to make a big list of things to avoid. It could be anything from bad security practices to really frustrating packaging. Working as a cashier myself, I definitely know there are plenty of brands I avoid purely on the basis that their product is a pain to stock.

On the flip side, what’s the alternative? If you avoid Pepsi, for example, what do you turn to instead?

    Jimmy John’s

    The owner has been photographed with big game “trophies” of elephants and a leopard.

    TW: deceased animals

    Snopes fact check: true

    This guy pisses me off so much. Hunting like this (where it’s private land, the staff do all the work of finding you a prize, & they basically point you at the endangered animal when it’s time to pull the trigger) is so obscene, grotesque, unnecessary, and self-fellating. Fuck this dude in particular.

      Completely inexcusable. How people can get away with this kind of behaviour is beyond me.

      It’s okay to have this kind of kindness and passion for all animals, you know.

        Did you just “all lives matter” me? I do care about all animals, but hunting species that are barely clinging to existence is the topic of assholery in my post.
