The copyright on nearly all the merch Stick It sells is pretty iffy, there are also blatantly fake MF Doom tees being sold. Many other bands too, as well as popular horror movie franchises, all of which are printed on what appeared to be Gildan shirts. Seems to be mostly bootleg because they sell their own shop-branded merch on the same rack and it's the same kind of cheaply printed shirts.

I don't want to continue to support a business who sells Nazi black metal stuff, whether it's real merch or bootleg.

IIRC, Stick It In Your Ear makes lots of their own artist merch shirts. They also had various sizes available, so it isn't just a one-off shirt someone donated. If it was just a single record, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. They had at least two copies of Filosofem when I went there last.

>and is such an obscure band

Burzum is up there with Mayhem for the most popular black metal artists there is.

They completely butchered my curly hair yesterday and I'm now left with no choice but to wait until it grows back. I'm going to get a refund today because it straight-up looks like a 10 year old did it. It's a salon for straight-haired people that swears they can also do curly hair but they end up ruining your entire head. I asked for a curly bob and left looking like Lord Farquaad.

For trims and minor touch-ups, I'd recommend La Luna Hair Academy.

If you're looking to do something drastically different than what you have, I say it's worth it. If you're going for a touch-up, go elsewhere.

One thing I will say is to avoid Indie Blue Salon like the Plague.

You've really lost the plot here, dude. If you're actually interested in knowing why China is overtaking the USA in trade, this infographic uses information from the IMF and gives some of the reasoning behind China's rise in the past few decades.

If you just want to keep trying to equate China making trade agreements in Africa and Latin America to literal war crimes being committed, feel free.

No, the article is specifically focusing on trade relations. Trade rules that have largely and disproportionately benefitted the USA and its allies. It has nothing to do with the Geneva Conventions and other humanitarian agreements meant to clamp down on human suffering across the board. That's not how this works at all.

As in, fair to them and their own financial interests. Ya know, the ones that have plundered the Global South for centuries.

What do you think America has been doing to the entire world since the end of WWII?

Joly is giving the game away with this quote. "Rules-based order" has always truly meant "a world order in which the USA and its close allies get to make and enforce the rules."
