Everything is rich people selling to rich people now. Vegas, video games, PC components—everything. That’s the inevitable outcome of all of this. And then these assholes complain when the working class tighten their purse strings for their own survival.

Once you learn that the United States is one massive scam, all of the pieces fit into place.

That’s awesome! Do you work in that field or met at en event or something?

The thread doesn’t have a lot of shows yet, so I’m gonna recommend Resident Alien with Alan Tudyk. He plays the awkward alien so well it’s unreal. The show mixes humor and drama really well. Made me laugh while giving me solid characters to root for.

I still have a PowerMac G5 cheese grater in my closet. Need to boot that baby up.

It’s true. Every cop I’ve met was indeed a cac.

My mom used to make pies when I was a kid and she would use the excess dough to make tarts with jelly in them. Those were the real Pop Tarts to me.

And what the hell happened to Vans? They used to be built better too. Now I can buy the same size as my old ones and they won’t fit quite right.

My employer is generous on PTO, so I push the limits. Life has been a lot for all of us this year.

I’ll never trade my Garmin Instinct Solar for anything else, even knowing that the sleep and other estimates are not accurate. I am curious what the most accurate tool is on the market though, mostly out of curiosity.

There’s a lot of emotional drain with that kind of weight, so that totally makes sense. I’m honestly shocked I haven’t been laid off (again) yet.

I have a graveyard for the things I enjoy doing but can’t motivate myself to do. The primary culprit for this is work. It’s boring and uninspiring but it pays well. The trade off is a paycheck in exchange for any semblance of motivation for life once the workday ends.

True that.

Can’t even eat in peace. Eating at home has become the best option. Just wish groceries were cheaper for everyone. Aldi has filled that void for us recently, and no Flock cameras that I’ve seen.

That is a great motto for that place lmao. I hate the tool lock-in hell.

I go online as an escape from reality. So why the fuck would I hangout in a space where I’m surrounded by terrible views regarding women, race, gender, etc? We’re all in echo chambers. I don’t come here to debate some asshole that thinks climate change is a hoax and ICE is good.

I’m not gonna engage in bullshit debates with an enlightened centrist. I’ve already noted in other comments a multitude of things people can do on a local level in their community. You can go find it because I’m done wasting my time with someone trying to get a rise out of folks.

There isn’t one. That’s the problem. The US is an amalgamation of bullshit. I stick by the principles I was raised with and do what I can, but I’m a grain of sand on a beach and my views mean fuck all in the end.

Do you have Harbor Freight? I forgot about that one. It’s hard to avoid the big places and they know this well.

Insulting your customers, even inadvertently, doesn’t seem like a good tactic.
