Wrong agenda. It doesn't matter who on the political divide is right or wrong, the agenda is the ad money and continued viewership.

Dude, Cheetara from ThunderCats had it going on!

Walmart made sure they were specific about the reason being reporting to the wrong supervisor and creating a security risk. Can't call it wrong that way.

And how's that been going for you? When people shout enough, the ones that need to listen start to tune it out. But start hitting wallets? Can't tune that out.

Which fees will get lowered? Prime? The sellers still have to pay fees to cover it. Amazon won't care unless the people who are actually paying for everything leave. Be an example and start competing. Doesn't even need to be a business that sells stuff to compete. Start a blog with talking about sites to buy everything outside of Amazon and Walmart.

Have you tried? I'm trying.

OH NO! It's someone slapping a label on an idea to make it sound bad. Yeah, maybe we should reinvent the wheel. What good does this do to fix the problem? Call it what you want, but give me an alternate solution at the same time. Something that anybody can do.

So what you are telling me is that the options are so limited that we shouldn't even try? That the only way to fight is to give up and buy crappy clothes from Walmart and be glad for it? Chain restaurants are the only option for dining options? Eat your Big Mac and remember your fries.

And those resources available to large corporations, there are resources available to small businesses too. Tax breaks are out there for different reasons. Negotiate for cheaper resources. Don't give up.

Did you know that Amazon charges fees to sell on their site? When people buy products on Amazon, the company makes nothing. The third-party seller has paid a fee to sell on Amazon, a fee for Amazon to store the product each month, and then a fee once it sells to cover the Prime shipping costs the buyer thinks is free. There is no loss. If the third-party sellers, who usually are small businesses duped into thinking this is the best way, would pull out, that is the real money loss for Amazon.

I was working on a e-commerce site for a large furniture manufacturer. They wanted to add a new attribute to a site that dealt with the fabrics they used. This would have been somewhere near 500 individual products with their own value for this attribute. We had to get this lined up on the product csv because somebody didn't think to do it in the erp. One of my managers was set to go in and use Excel to merge the lists, but I realized he would have to do this every month until the end of time. I wrote a quick script on the site to do this anytime the product csv needed to be updated. Write once, run forever.

Everybody log into your reddit accounts and post "Luigi" everywhere you can.

I don't have a problem with competitive sports and such, but I do wish that it wasn't such a large part of our collective culture. I don't follow sports, and especially American Football. I have blue hair and last year nearly everyone was asking if I did it for the Detroit Lions. People who knew I had it for two years previous were asking me. Strangers in the store. I see ads for sports adjacent things when I don't go to the websites like that or watch the games. Tired of seeing it everywhere.

I visit many of the game shops in my area to try to find TTRPG's and players, but all I find is Magic players and they will talk about the game in length.

You are right that I shouldn't blame the format. I will blame Wizards for pushing it so hard it's pretty much the only way to play the game right now.

I get what you are saying about what I said with Standard. It is that Wizards focuses too much on Commander, and some of these tie-in could have awesome CCG on their own, like Fallout. I think Fallout could stand to have an awesome CCG that would sell pretty amazingly. Regarding Standard, yes the format still exists, but the way sets are released it feels like it's only there for the old players like me.

My big question is that if a whole flock is killed when bird flu is discovered, why are JUST egg prices going up? My local grocery store recently had a sale on chicken but the eggs are in short supply and cost nearly 10 times what they used to a few months ago? Shouldn't chicken meat be expensive too? Or do I not know anything about poultry farming and bird flu?

One of my favorites.

So, I just found out that Hunter Schafer is trans. Never guessed. Good for her.

As a guy, best I can say is educate him on what women go through. Make sure he knew what is going on, so he doesn't look like an idiot with a woman. And so he isn't like me and learn about how periods actually work when he's almost thirty because he doesn't get a joke in a movie.

What he needs to learn at this age isn't what he will do through, school will do that for him. He needs to know what others will go through. Religious thinking kept most of female anatomy out of the public schools I went to.
