Fair point

Those aren’t gamers in the same way watching racing doesn’t make me a race car driver.

That’s dumb.

Yeah you can, but it’s damn hard. I’m aware of Daryl and he’s done great things, it it’s a tiny fraction of 1%.

Nah, it’s sports team mentality. You can say any reasoned, logical, humanist argument you want, but people will never turn against their “team”.

That’s so strange, Russia has such a good track record for warm hospitality and no genocide and stuff.

So over 13 they kick you off?

Stupidity, cult mentality, “my sports team” mentality, religion, and single issue voters.

That was my first computer! I wanted this game so bad back then, never had it. I’ll have to spin it up on my os-9’ed g4 Mac mini, hopefully it still runs in 9, most things I’ve tried do.

No

Guess you’ve never heard of inflation. Minimum wage in the 1950s would be something like $27 today- and that’s just simple annual inflation not accounting for buying power of the dollar. Factor that in and it’s more like $35. That’s a far fucking cry from $7.50. Plus, that guy in the 50s had only high school education, a stay at home wife, two kids, and a house.

Single family homes in my area start at $650k and go well over a million regularly. Town houses can be a 500k easy. Rent for a small apartment can be $1500+ a month plus utilities. People struggle on $70k salary here, which is about $35 an hour. Now imagine making under $10.

Another example, public school teachers start work making less than $60k. Imagine starting work with $50k-70k in student loans, some of them predatory private loans, spending nearly 50% of your post tax income on rent and then still having to pay for food, gas, car payment, insurance, and making those minimum loan payments basically forever. You’re pretty much financially crippled for life unless you marry someone that makes money or switch careers. That’s fucked up- someone that works as hard as our teachers, with their master’s level educations and endless night and weekend work should have to have 3 room mates for 20 years just trying to survive.

If the only thing we had was proper minimum wage adjustment and nothing else, society would be in a much better place. If we also had subsidized child care for working families, healthcare, non predatory education and insurance than imagine how much better off we’d all be.

But naw dawg, let’s just make some lazy Starbucks drinking kids get 4 fucking jobs to try and keep your old ass in social security.

It’s like the hot pocket of stores- take from package, place directly in toilet.

Yeah I gave up. Felt not worth it at this point. I miss it, but it’s such a bot farm propaganda machine in so many ways that it’s probably best left in the bin with Facebook.

Heavy metals and volatile chemicals can leech through skin. Some have cumulative effects.

The response to my appeal was that it was a human looking at it, but that’s what I would say if I was writing a script to ignore appeals.

I got banned for saying that I wish Marjorie Taylor green would trip and swallow her own head. I was inciting violence apparently. I had a 13 year old account :/ I appealed and they said there was no error, I was basically a terrorist.

Who is buying that shit? I’ve never once heard someone say “look at this great thing I got on temu!”. I’ve literally only seen wish-fail stuff. It seems like a company that extracts pennies from putting shit directly into the landfill.

I have reolink and use them with my NAS. Been happy with them!

I fully support scalpers getting fucked.

I have one and my kids share it with me, but considering a second. They support profiles. My son plays it on the couch while my daughter watches her shows, and then they’ll put it on the tv and play Mario kart together.
