  I unfortunately am in the middle of a huge renovation for a new house I just bought 3 week ago. I guess I’m fucking up big time but I’ve had to buy quite a bit of stuff this week. My dryer broke, dishwasher shit out, heater went kaputs, I needed some lumber to keep my porch from caving in.

  At least the only new thing I bought was the dishwasher because the panel to get it working would’ve cost me $200 since it’s so old. Everything else has been fixed instead of replaced.

  I like to buy the least I can every day. If the economy relied on my purchasing habits, it would collapse.

  Black Friday isn’t even a thing in Europe, yet I’ve been seeing adverts for for almost a month now, with two week long “sales” to generously allow us not to miss out.

    I’m an American living in Canada. Black Friday happens here and it’s really weird to me. In the USA, it happens the day after Thanksgiving, which always falls on a Thursday. So Black Friday makes sense because many people have Friday off (or take it off) and so they have a day to shop for the upcoming holiday season.

    In Canada, Thanksgiving does not happen on the same day as in the USA. It happens on a Monday in October. But Black Friday still happens the day after American thanksgiving, which is basically just a random Friday in November for Canadians.

    The only thing I will mention is that I don’t know of any Canadian who lines up outside stores for them to open so they can snatch a crappy deal on a TV. I’m sure it happens, but I think most Canadians just need to go to work.

    south america is the same and the discounts are not even real most of the time.

    we pay half off of double the price.

  Already my plan, mostly because I’m broke but still participating.

  I bought FO4 off GOG a couple of days ago, because I’m fucking tired of Steam breaking my game every few weeks with mandatory updates, I think it was on sale for black friday. If that doesn’t count, then count me in.

    I thought you could disable updates on specific steam games. No?
