Those were just some of the more 21st century companies. Also on the list was Levi Strauss. Forget watching the NBA - - Disney is on the list. Any of your horror movies that are on Warner Brothers? You won't be giving them a whirl. And these are the companies that have come out within three hours of the decision. What if all the grocery chains jump on? How far are people going to take it? This is the path that I'm trending towards
I'm fascinated with Eastern Philosophy/Spirituality/Religion
Buddhist Wisdom - To End Craving Is To End Suffering
I'm fascinated by how monks live
Breaking my connection/desire/craving with the Flyers, Phillies, Eagles, Sixers, college football, college basketball, boxing, horror movies........
Do I really need to eat blueberries, kale and avocados every day? Are they really a necessity or a nice to have?
Or can I live off of plants in the wild, backpacking the world finding shelter wherever I can rest my head at night and still be happy?
Just ditching it all and enjoying nature.....
Now would actually be the perfect time. No Flyers, Sixers, Eagles, college basketball, college football on.....still 4 months until Halloween..... (although I'd be incredibly curious what the Sixers do during Free Agency - these are the bonds I'm trying to break)

To be clear, I'm not making fun of you. Abortion is a tough argument - - there are points on both sides. I think the vast majority of people who claim they are going to boycott these companies are all talk. More power to those who follow their conscience. We can disagree, but on this subject, a principled person will not receive any jeers from me.

If you need an abortion, you've probably spent too much time around dicks as it is!
Seriously though...
This is a flat-out reckless decision by the SCOTUS. We let the fox in the henhouse, he appointed lunatics to the Supreme Court, and here we are. The hypocrisy of the right knows no bounds and religious extremists are beginning to take over US politics. The implications of this are terrifying. Thomas wants to call into question same sex marriage and contraception for Christ's sake. The Pope isn't this far right. We know why Thomas doesn't want to 'reconsider' interracial marriage, but what's stopping these younger justices from making that next step if/when they go after gay marriage (and they will)?
Republicans don't want to have to wear masks during a pandemic, but they'll decide whether a woman should have a baby. Republicans are pro-life when it comes to unborn children, but when the children end up as target practice in classrooms, they're on their own. Republicans insist the January 6th attempted coup was overblown by the media, as REPUBLICAN officials were being threatened at all hours of the night at their own homes for months to 'Stop the steal,' meanwhile Ron DeSantis signs a bill in Florida that criminalized protesting outside justices' residences in response to Roe v Wade before it was even overturned. Criminalizing peaceful protest in the US. Keep in mind the right are the ones who always say the left 'hates America,' and 'wants to turn it into something it isn't.'
Worst case scenario, we're a step away from a dystopian nightmare. My real concern as a patriot, as a citizen of this nation who refuses to judge people or states or regions purely by laws or even political views that I don't agree with; is that this country, my country, is being torn apart by ideologues on both sides and devolving into squabbling petty kingdoms. And for every step forward we seem to take culturally, we seem to take two steps back legally. The left controls popular culture while the right wing governs, both catering more to radicals with each passing day, and leaving moderate, reasonable, rational people with nowhere to turn. The left won't let us joke about abortions and the right won't let women get one.
If the Supreme Court had their way, every broken condom in a poor neighborhood would eventually come to term, potentially endangering the mother's health and burdening society. It's insanity pure and simple, and it's another ghost of the Trump presidency in the form of the revamped radical Supreme Court that will continue to haunt us for decades.

I'm finding all these protests that are going on right now wildly entertaining on the news I can't get enough of them. The theatrics and dramatics are off the charts Like the George Floyd/Black Lives Matter Protestors, to the Anti-Maskers/Anti-Vaxxers - it's been topnotch entertainment over the last couple of years I think a great majority of men who show up to these things are just trying to get laid - this may be their only hope - a 0.00000000000000000001% chance from some butch looking broad who thinks he 'gets' her. Pretty much like Edward Norton and 'Marla' in Fight Club - just showing up to countless addiction meetings looking for love and affection.
