Perhaps it’s not against Dave Grohl’s ethics but it’s certainly against mine so all I can do is add the Foo Fighters to the ever growing list of people or companies that don’t get my attention or money.

To be honest I’m thankful all this stuff is out in the open as I’m saving a lot of money.

I don’t shop on Amazon, don’t use social media, don’t eat McD, don’t buy Foo Fighters albums, don’t watch Will Smith movies, etc.

Ah, the piecemeal approach to becoming a hermit. Eventually you'll just add literally everything to your "failed my purity test" list.

I don’t know. Macklemore is a pretty stand up guy and will stand by his morals. Plenty of people ain’t selling out and plenty of people stand up for what they believe in.

Kinda strange all the back lash for my choice here but y’all won’t give the same backlash for FF choice. Double standards much.

I'm not talking to Dave Grohl, I'm talking to you.

Don't expect perfection, or you'll always be disappointed by people. Macklemore included lol

I don’t expect perfection. I am not perfect m, merely holding people to a higher standard than some.

You do you bro and I’ll do me. It’s not that deep.

Have a wonderful weekend, I know I will.

What did Will Smith do?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He assaulted a man on live TV and later was given an award and never faced any repercussions.

Also, over shadowed Samuel L Jackson’s night.

Ah, I see. I was thinking he might have done something else and didn’t hear about it.
