The problem is supporting Trump and the Republicans largely undoes whatever good he may have done. You can’t just cancel out the harm with a few charitable donations. American healthcare wouldn’t even need so much charity if the Republicans and their supporters didn’t cockblock a socialised healthcare system every…

I’m pro-life ... I believe in common sense.

That’s an extremely black and white view.

I’ll never understand the fondness for ANY of the characters in this game or games like it (GTA for example), where all the characters are evil psychotic pieces of shit that deserve a bullet to the head. Ellie, Abby, Joel - all of them are murderous, cruel pieces of shit. They are literally bad guys, but people seem…

It would be nice if the mod could also proportionately increase the availability of salvage.  I managed to kill all the hordes when I played PS4, but I found myself wandering the wilderness for an hour or so in between each massive horde looking salvage to restock my explosives supply.  I appreciated the feeling of…

“But I’m not under oath, so can I lie?”

While I agree Walmart should do that, they also probably don’t want to bother. On top of the thousands of products that they sell and manage, now we want them to lock up the Pokémon cards and have employees on standby to unlock them and enforce the 1 per limit rule. These places are lucky when all their staff actually…

I mean, having seen inventory reports (Target though, not Walmart) those products - plus eyelashes- have the most shrink by a country mile. People aren’t stealing Olay and Noxema; they’re not even stealing the expensive salon shit or essentials like tampons. If you’re a retailer that knows people frequently steal and…

In the end this is some asshole overcharging some other asshole for a slab of cardboard. That’s hardly bribery or insider trading.

No regulation is needed. These are all luxury goods that have no intrinsic value. Now if it was food, gasoline or housing, that is a whole different animal. The best way to reduce this type of activity is to not participate.

That’s not true. The guy filming the video clearly said “I’m not getting into this.” When he saw the scrum for the cards.  So at least one person had a modicum of self-reflection.  

Stereotypes exist for reason.

It really was a perfect storm. The pandemic hit, which made it difficult to produce enough cards to meet demand. Some people had enough stimulus money and free time to get back into their old hobbies, while some people found themselves out of work and were looking for a new way to make some extra cash.

I bet some of them are married and have wives that are very annoyed with their habits. Would not fault the wives if they left.

Because only virgins can be losers...?

Honestly? look at them. They’re lame white boys wearing basketball shorts and baseball caps. Not a goddamn one of them has a chance of having sex with anyone and has the small-time, small-dick energy of the average dead-end job worker. No possible discernable talents besides “knows when card vendors deliver product”…

Seems like the kind of thing they should probably lock up and have a per-customer limit. Not that you couldn’t just go in, send your friend in, send your kid in, etc. But damn. I think if the guy with the camera had tried, or that one dude who was on the right had stepped in, some fists might have flown.

It’s the Google way. If something isn’t an immediate, smash hit, they don’t pursue it. It’s part of the culture there, and it’s why they have people pursue passion projects a certain number of hours on company time, hoping to find the next big thing. When it’s not, they move on to the next.

Probably some incredibly optimistic RoI requirements set in stone or something?

My dude, an Easter egg is a reference, which is why the crowbar doesn’t have a half life logo or Freeman’s name on it.
