What MLK fought for

I moved to uni last week (freshman) and the amount of times I have heard "were going to Starbucks" (there's one on campus) is absurd. It's like they've never heard of a boycott before.

Like I'm not even that invested with my boycotts, I'll still go to target for a pair of pants and buy groceries from Walmart despite knowing they're horrible companies. I am a chronic Monster Energy consumer and still use Instagram. I just block out the things that are easy to replace like Nestle products or using a different web browser & search engine (still on the fence about Linux).

But at least when I buy from a shitty company I feel guilty about it, they just have no comprehension that it might not be a good thing. I assume a LARGE part of that is because this is Florida, a red state where all of American history is just taught as "freedom!!" without really going into the details about what your rights are and what a union is. Hell, last WEEK I learned that the Mormons created an entire U.S. state (Utah).

Out of a show of hands for an icebreaker out of like ~50 people in a room only TWO had android phones, myself included. That was pretty crazy to me.

despite that though I found a group of friends and somehow all 3 of us have android phones and all of us have side loaded apps. Both of them aren't in comp sci either so that was a fun surprise. Pretty funny how we just converged without knowing lol
