Happy Discount Pride Month

MikeyTheCat · Jun 2, 2025

I heard that one today at Starbucks (between a barista and customer) given a lot of companies are trying to back away from their previous all in approach.
Even my company which celebrated every day, week and month for an over-represented under-represented group of two or more with a flag hasn’t sent out the usual email with video attachments.

It turns out that many of a company’s values are only as thick as a dollar bill.

Boy, they sure didn’t want us thinking that in 2020, did they?

It's all fake bullshit. Did anyone believe any company actually gave a shit about anyone's plight in life? Fuuuuuuuck no they didn't. Never did. Never will. It's all about money. They thought they'd lose money if they didn't fly the rainbow flag for the month. Now they think they'll lose money if they do. There is nothing genuine or honest about any of it. Starbucks corporate office doesn't give a flying fuck who's dick you're sucking or whether you are a zim or zer. They just need their shareholders to be happy and dear lord if the shareholders lose a fraction of a penny per share, there will be hell to pay.

I think people are tired of it. I'm sure the flag will still be flying at city hall here. Not flying it would be admitting it was dumb, and people hate admitting that what they've been doing is done.

They can marry, they can vote, they can do everything within reason that their societal counterparts can do.

Like Chapelle said, "Take your chips and get the fuck out of the casino, cuz you're about to crap out."

I think at the high school sports level, it's getting to the point where even the flag flyers are thinking they've pushed this shit too far.

If you don't recognize and participate in my personal pronoun choices, I'm going to cry.

I mean it, I'll do it. I'm not bluffing..

Oh yes they did, at least the flag people and those whose job is DEI.
In meetings held about lost government contracts and how we’ll soldier on (as employees are quietly rolled off and out), the question is always asked at least once, how will this affect our VALUES?

I mean when employee training had this, those values were pretty evident. At least as long as the money was flowing.

I started telling people that my pronoun is Pronoun.

Seriously, just address me as Pronoun.
I’m cool with that.

(They roll their eyes as I walk away)

Norm absolutely kills me with this.

My pronoun? Oh, yes. Master.

My calendar said on June 1st it was "Pride Month".
But since it was my birthday, I scratched out Pride and made it "Cake Month!".
I have no regrets about my decision.

Happy Discount Pride Month
