Yeah, I can see how it could be seen that way. I'm thinking more along the lines of "Dave performs for money. Someone wants to pay a lot of money for a special performance, and it doesn't affect any of his other shows so of course he would do it". IMO what Dave did isn't unethical, but I can see how it could be seen that way. But I also think if the article was "Amazon Execs bought a multi million dollar yacht after massive layoffs", no one would be blaming the yacht manufacturer. Just the execs.

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.

What did Will Smith do?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 6 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.

LMAO reading this IMMEDIATELY after replying to a… slightly different vibe of comment:

Beauty & strength through diversity [of thought]!
