Hahaha! This is the ONE time I agree with Trump.

All defending the house that Sam built, it is the richest company in the world by revenue beating out Amzaon and state owned organizations like Saudi Aramco and Chinese controlled organizations. It regularly bullies its way into small towns, demanding tax cuts and the infrastructure to build their stores, run those stores at a loss until all competition is gone then raises prices to squeeze out the area. Then is happy to shut down the "bottom performing stores" leaving a wasteland behind for these towns that lost everything to the mega giant. They're turning the home town of Bentonville into Austin, even driving out local business for their friends out of Austin.

And the biggest thing is... Project 2025, all of this going on, written by the Heritage Foundation... The Walton Family Foundation is one of the big funders of the Heritage Foundation as well as many of the other Project 2025 advisory board partners. They made it easy to search even! https://www.waltonfamilyfoundation.org/grants-database

I've come from its home town, Walmart has always pushed a radical republican conservative agenda. Walmart is not some hapless victim, this is pure 100% leopards dining on some faces that voted for the leopards eating faces party.

Gonna disagree there, gamers can't give up pre-ordering games through studios that regularly bait and switch and throwing money at the biggest AAA studios.

So he learned from the video gaming industry?

I've picked up the gardening hobby and actually seem to be keeping up with it.

Nothing like a crisis where food is looking to be a concern to get ones ass in gear.

For a lot of us even before the election. Yup.

In 2020 I was moving into my house. Late night moving, 3am, I needed food. There's a McDs across the street. A'ight. Gonna have to happen. Get the shitty little cheeseburgers that's always been a dollar... no wait, they're not on the dollar menu... actually there's no dollar menu... fuck it... there's the meal for them.

The two shitty cheeseburgers, small fries, small drink, over $8 plus tax.

I've never been back to one since.

I don't think I'd ever leave the makerspace.

Well... fuck.

I mean there's the other approach, had the GM tell us that he didn't do as much prep as he hoped but game was still on.

My response "I'll do my best to be inefficient"

Then again the character I'm playing is with a group I've played with for years, and I sat down with them before it started with "I'm about to play possibly my most irritating character concept and I want everyone on board before I finalize."

We should totally all agree that we will leave Musk alone and start treating him nicely if he leaves politics wink wink nudge nudge

I mean there's a lot of us already on that team.

If you didn't get the reference, Cassandra was given the gift of prophecy but cursed so that her true prophecies would not be believed. She goes out and tells people of what's coming and she's ignored. She warns that if Helen is brought back to Troy, it'll be the fall of Troy in the Trojan War. She warned the Trojans to not accept the gift horse from the Greeks but we all know how that worked out. That sort of thing.

So yes, there's a lot of people on "Team Cassandra" who's been saying the shit that's coming is going to come, we've been laughed at, mocked and told we're overreacting then told we're not doing enough when exactly the things that anyone with basic pattern recognition and a high school history learning could predict.

This is my boat... THEN I got a lot of rational reasons I didn't want.

Could you imagine wasting the rest of your life to make the world a better place?

I don't have enough words for fuck right all the way off.

I've spent my life trying to make things a better place. I've been trying to pick people up, to learn, to fight hate, to get one step ahead, to educate, to do everything short of pulling out a whip just to get people to do the bare minimum to enact change in their life and vote. Yet I've been shown in more evidence that people are far more interested in their football teams (both literal and political) than making things better for people, have no desire to actually learn, and that hatred prevails. I'm tired and everyone is yelling at us to fight when I've been trying to rally to fight for the past goddamn decade... and even then I see the people calling to fight and it's a bunch of people who are yelling to go out and do it without actually getting up to do the bare minimum to help another fucking human. And you want to come at me with that phrasing?

So lets be blunt. I'm tired of this fight. You want to save the world, best of luck to you. I'll be in my corner and do the little things I can to survive and help those that need help do the same until the reason for survival is gone then I can wander off. Y'all (and by that I mean the rest of the world) can save yourselves, or burn, without my help just fine. It was funny years ago when I started saying "Call me Cassandra" when the things I was told I was overreacting came to pass. It's stopped being funny for a long time now.

Neat part is if you don't have family, it's completely some banks problem.

Look, US here. I've been saying this for years and turns out as normal I'm fucking right.

A leaning majority of the gun nuts are the ones cheering for this and wanted a fascist regime. The other half has always been cosplayers wanting to look tough. The 2A crowd of our country has always been cowards that was willing to sacrifice children to protect their precious sacred cows.

Yup. Staying alive for the parents. After that, fuck it.

Plastic eggs are probably made in China, so with tariffs might be as expensive.

Something something "but Biden and Palestine!"

God I hope so. Don't hope for the US to learn.

We didn't on guns after Sandy Hook so get some popcorn for the horror show to come for us.

Unfortunately on my research, while Home Depot is the worst on this one, so is Lowe's, Menards, and every other tool/home store...
