absolutely agree...i hv a loved one doing last stint of 25...he got more time than most pedo/rapists and murderers.. absolute rediculous justice system all the way around

So much this. Not to mention, it is almost impossible for many to survive “legitimately” after incarceration. They have the stigma of their record, which severely limits employment opportunities, and generally have tons of fines and fees stacked on them that they have to pay. Not only are we not attempting to rehab…

Same thing as collectibility in other items. Rarity and condition. Several things determine rarity - cone-tops are fairly uncommon, as are welded sides. Limited runs obviously have value, as do cans produced in small amounts for whatever reason. Other can designs have interesting stories behind them. Might be time to…

As a collector of 1980s arcade periphenalia myself (Marquees, Bezels etc). I know what you’re talking about. Collectable-ness comes from Age + Rarity + Grown Up Kids. And I’m now as an arcade enthusiast starting to see a lot of the early 90s era stuff getting pricey. And i think that has to do with the kids from that…

My brother was a beer-can collector in the ‘70s. He has a very impressive collection (which sits in our basement because reasons). I’ve often thought about looking around to see if anyone is still trading these. Back in the day, some of them were pretty valuable.

I sell Pokemon cards as I have amassed a huge collection. The market is definitely flooded. I do a search in ebay and amazon for rares that I’m selling and there are always a lot of others selling the same thing.

That is what a lot of collectors don’t understand. People who collect things that everyone is collecting are not going to be worth anything due to how much supply of them are being horded.

Calibre is a must-have for organizing your ebooks. There’s also plugins for comics and magazine, etc. If you are not using Calibre, it is worth the learning curve to get it going, because the organization for your library by authors, books, and tags is really helpful, especially if you use multiple devices.

I have my Calibre library on Google Drive and that’s around 3000 books. I have never had an issue over copyright flags. I have also used Plex’s Cloud Sync on Drive, and never had an issue syncing movies from my server.

One of my all time favorite piano parts.

I can’t be the only one who saw the 4500 Geo limit and thought:

“And hey, who doesn’t love weird experiments?”

You can put your credentials away, mine are bigger. Though I suppose I could start my post off with “As a lead software developer with 15 years of experience who currently works on an MMO emulator” sort of like you did.

Nah, but nice try again. See that brush that lady has in her hand on the first frame. Thats the issue. Considering US history of cartoon characters portraying African Americans, not exactly the homage you wanna call back to.

lol good lord y’all need some empathy

“imaginary animal”. Yep, an imaginary animal with “simian” in it’s name, that looks like a monkey or ape. And the costume includes black face paint. Surely you can see how there could be some parallels drawn to certain other situations? That it’s only a small stretch, not a large one?

Black person here. I woulda let this one go. Jinx on the other hand is racist as fuck and there is no excuse for it. Its clearly meant to be a golliwog type character and is blatantly racist.

I will be happy to pay for Nintendo’s online service. I play Nintendo games online more than any other console. Freaking Smash for crying out loud. It’s a requirement as far as I’m concerned..

I do not support this running joke of pretending the things you don’t like aren’t there, or that artists stopped existing when they really just went been shitty, as if their continued existence is incompatible with our own.
