Maybe you’ve been a bit this whole time.
- Comment on What’s your favorite mission in Red Dead Redemption—and why does it hit different? 16 hours ago:
It’s been too long since I played the first game, but in 2, you try to go straight and live the simple farm life and it’s such a boring part of the game. Typically that’s a bad thing, but I loved how it simulated that itch for chaos. As a player, you’re thinking the same thing as the character. “Not long ago, I was riding around shooting people and making tons of money, and now I’m shoveling shit for pennies a day.” When the mission comes to go back to your roots and raise some hell, you know you shouldn’t, but damn does it feel good to get back to doing what you love.

The dashes always give it away.

Yup

They just keep growing.
- Comment on Why are children always portrayed as the epitome of "innocence", when a lot of kids are evil af and bully their peers, and name-calling runs rampant in schools? 3 days ago:
After five kids, I’m convinced it’s the second one. They sure are sweet, but they will lie and cheat to get whatever they want before they can speak the truth.
But I suppose the innocence of youth is not the same as the legal definition of innocence. Its not so much what they do but more that they don’t know any better yet.
- Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 3 days ago:
I’ll agree that there are instances where it works, but the tricky part is knowing who those were. I love your second example because I worked at one of those stores and the manager could definitely get things done if you were polite and got the employees to advocate for you.
But, we wouldn’t be much use in the first example because all applications were online, and the GM didn’t interview anyone until HR told them to.
They have since closed that store, so there are only authorized agents in my town, and there’s not a damn thing they can do for your billing issues.

Every generation just gets more casual and I love it!
Pretty soon I won’t even need to put on pants to run to the store!
- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 3 days ago:
“haven’t had any complaints” (They’ve all been too polite)

I doubt it’s to invoke jealousy. It’s more likely the novelty. You’re a new friend they don’t see as often and they want to get to know you!
- Comment on Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong? 4 days ago:
I can get them pretty close to dry. Try to shake some of the water into the sink before you dry. That helps a lot.

How about the owner of Trump Burger getting deported?
- Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries? 1 week ago:
I copied that from the dictionary. Don’t believe me, read on it.
- Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries? 1 week ago:
An economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.
The moment someone sold something to someone else, Capitalism was born.
- Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries? 1 week ago:
That’s all interesting and all, but that still doesn’t tell me what you think capitalism is.
I’ll skip the step where you ask me how it didn’t answer the question:
Your first paragraph says that people are Friday now then ever and that before the Industrial Revolution, nobody was greedy except for everyone that was.
This was news to me since all this time, I simply believed the historical records that claimed that people had been killing each other over property since the beginning of civilization.
The second paragraph disputes the definition of the word job. I concede this point. The word job means something a little different to everyone, and there’s no point in arguing semantics.
The last paragraph is nonsense. Capitalism isn’t capitalism anymore because capitalism feels like capitalism but it’s capitalism isn’t capitalism? I don’t fucking know.
So, what do you think capitalism is? Because nothing you’re saying is actually true according to the definition of capitalism.
- Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries? 1 week ago:
Wait, what? Capitalism is literally as old as the world’s first job.
I’d love to hear what you think capitalism is.
- Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 1 week ago:
Why sell lots of one thing when you can sell lots of two things?
- Comment on Does the US charge tariffs on handbags from France? 1 week ago:
That’s probably the safe call. You never know if the person in the other end gets this question all the time and already knows all the details, or if they have no clue and really want to close the sale.
- Comment on How the hell are there already shirts, hats and even jerseys made for the winning teams of some championships? 1 week ago:
They often do print a batch for each team as the winner. I’ve heard that sometimes the losers merch is donated to third world countries, or just destroyed/recycled.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Trump doesn’t believe in this “Post Trump” you speak of.
- Comment on Are there any decor people here? I ask because in the Big Lebowski it begins with a rug that tied the room together. In your opinion did it? 1 week ago:
It’s not about the rug, Dude, it’s the fucking principle of it!
- Comment on Bear injures two in a supermarket 1 week ago:
The only angle I can think of is that it’s mildly infuriating that people have forced these bears to come into society and maul us for survival.
- Comment on When did Cash for Chritianity become a thing? When even Jesus the son of god wouldn't stand for it in a church? If they preach why don't they practice from the bible? 1 week ago:
As long as the people in small responsible churches keep listening to the swindlers on TV, they are still part of the problem.
- Comment on Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall? 1 week ago:
You bring up a counter point that I’ve heard often, and my usual response is that most could probably find admin positions in the government’s system, and the rest can figure it out like the rest of us.
The last part doesn’t make for a great sales pitch, so what about those people who don’t have a job anymore?
- Comment on Why do people hate reality? 1 week ago:
I didn’t downvote you, but I think I understand why the sweeping generalization in the title would turn people off.
I don’t disagree with any of your individual points, or the general sentiment, but “Why do people hate reality?” doesn’t describe what you’re trying to say here, and to be honest it just sounds ignorant. (Or at least sounds like you’re getting ready to say something really ignorant.)
- Comment on Why do people hate reality? 1 week ago:
Why do YOU hate reality? The Internet, plastic surgery, GMOs and Ozempic ARE reality. I’m not endorsing or condoning any of those things, but frolicking in the woods for a few hours is escaping reality just as much (if not more) than doom scrolling TikTok.

Can’t be close to Jesus without a private jet!

That’s a whole lot of words to say absolutely nothing.
- Comment on I can't say I am going to kill the president. But can the president specify me a civ saying he is going to kill me? And it be legal? 2 weeks ago:
In reality, it doesn’t matter how legal something is.
The question is who thinks it should be enforced.
If you say it, it WILL be enforced. If the President said it, probably not so much.

Luck be a Landlord is like a slot machine version of Balatro.
You select randomly generated symbols to add to your slot machine in order to get more money with each spin in order to have enough to pay the increasing “rent” at the end of each level.
