  I do have to come to homeboy defense. She heard bussy and though he was picturing a twink. While that’s fine and dandy of that’s what he’s into, maybe he was actually thinking about bears. Sounds like she’s the issue cause she thinks we can only be twinks. My beard says otherwise.

  This is why I got some grips when I don’t have it docked and a pro controller. If you ever do use it more, it’s definitely worth it.

  It’s the SD card for me. We are getting phones with 1tb now, so that will work. But with the phones that do offer it, you have to get the most expensive version for it. Meanwhile if they just give me an SD card slot, I can have that fixed myself. Just take the one out of my current phone and plop it in the new phone.

  This is why I don’t bother with anything outside the main game. It’s like Netflix with shows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, food is definitely a great one. I’m lucky in that towards the end of summer, our local vegetable garden will sell a lot of their stuff in front of the local church. It’s right next to my apartment complex. I love baking, especially muffins, so I’ll go right over there and grab some blue berries and raspberries. Get a pumpkin for Halloween. Maybe some watermelon. And all of that money goes back into things for the garden for the next year. I think it’s great.

  as much as possible and in as many areas as possible.

  I do want to just take a second to highlight this. The idea of buying local and buying from people who make things instead of corporations can be hard. It’s expensive. And obviously the point is that we are all struggling. So looking at all the stuff I buy I thinking I need to spend so much more on all of that is daunting.

  We all live under the same shitty capitalistic hellscape. We can’t get out of it. We can only do what we can. Need a new dresser? A locally made one will cost you a lot. Don’t stress about not being able to afford it. If you need to, get a cheaper one.

  But for a lot of things, you can get it for just as cheap looking around on Etsy. If they have their own website where you can order it so they don’t have to pay Etsy money, even better. My boyfriend is in his last semester of nursing school, so I’m getting him a gift, and it’s custom made. It’s expensive, but most things I would get him are probably made with cheap labor in another country, and would just help prop up a large corporation.

  Does this mean everything I buy is custome made? That it’s made locally? No. I can’t afford that. But I stopped using Amazon for just about everything, have started buying from people when I can, and it’s honestly kind of nice. I got to help someone make a living doing what they want to do, instead of just working a job. So even though we can’t afford it all the time, it’s great to do it when you can, and not let the idea of it needing to be everything make us feel defeated and then never doing it.

  A sanctuary city just means the city is going to let the federal government handle the federal issue. You aren’t a citizen of a state. You are a citizen of the country. So it’s a federal issue.

  And it actually has some benefits. Like imagine witnessing a murder and not being able to say anything. They find the body, it’s a mystery, no one knows who did it. You could bring closure to the family… but you can’t say anything. Because you would also get punished.

  In a sanctuary city, they can come forward with information without worry about being deported.

  Maybe do some research on things instead of just using them as buzzwords.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have to pay extra to remove ads from Prime Video⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently wanted an audiobook and found out it’s only available on Audible(because of course), so I resubscribed from when I had it about 5-6 years ago. Plan was to get the book and cancel again. They have also removed audiobooks from my account. Granted, they’re still available on audible. They weren’t taken off the service. I can buy them again. But it just shows they aren’t mine anymore.

  From now on, I will pirate something before I subscribe again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the internet is worse.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Feeling like a consumer is a great way to put it. It especially feels more and more like it when trying to do even the most mundane tasks. Like if you own a product but need to ask a question on Google about it, first you have to scroll past the links to pages trying to sell you the product you typed in, then you might get some reddit links, 2-3 from a smaller forum, and then more links trying to sell you the product. It will say there’s thousands of results, but it’s just the same 6 links to purchase the product over and over again. So now even basic web searches are mainly for buying stuff.

  I’ve been using both LinkIn and Indeed. I feel like it’s the same thing, but one has a Facebook skin on top of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paid full price and got this in the mail (open box). GameStop and I have different definitions of “new”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They almost did, but then there was the whole thing with people getting stock and holding, and that actually ended up on helping GS. How long they will hold out is still debatable though. Mostly because of things like this post and the other comments. They used to be great, but because of stuff like that, i refuse to order from them at this point. And there’s a retro game store near me that actually has a ton of switch games. More than any GS I’ve been to. So I don’t see a reason to go into one in person. Not to mention the rise in digital games.
