I came here to say exactly this. Like, I wasn’t perfectly sure, but I was pretty sure this was a harvestment not a spider.

Literally every cable company is a scam.

This is by design. It’s called a mini-monopoly and our government should have put a stop to is 50 years ago.

Yeah, this is a hard lesson everyone should take to heart.

They have literally been doing this with every older game they’ve ever produced. New system? New larger price to play on the new system.

Thank you. The picture they chose to use is of a butter that we actually buy and had me a bit worried for a moment and you saved me a frantic internet search.

That was one of the worst revelations. I feel so bad for how he was treated. Blue ranger was one of my favorite characters in the show too.

Gatchaman and Voltron checking in with their single female representation. It was…not uncommon in Japanese team shows to have a pink member of a team that was also the only girl.
- Comment on Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN 4 weeks ago:
The OG CEO is from the 1800s so yeah. And yes I’m thinking of Iwata. And look at what was produced during his tenure. That’s the Nintendo everyone is nostalgic about nowadays. 1989 Nintendo was a corporation throwing spaghetti at the wall, 2000’s Nintendo was streamlining the end gamer experience, 2020’s Nintendo is looking for an easy paycheck.

Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.

I have a small laptop that I’m testing this stuff out on before I put together a new computer from parts I ordered before the tariffs took effect.

This brings to mind the highly underrated movie Stuart Saves His Family. Surviving toxic people is hard, but it’s even harder for anyone with anxiety disorders.

I could be wrong but I think the pacing referred to in this post is a physical manifestation of impatience.

That doesn’t mean that their effect on the GPU market will up and vanish overnight. Market correction doesn’t usually it go down as fast as it goes up.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
This guy is actual problem isn’t that his property taxes have gone way up. His problem is that his income, that is say social security, has not kept pace with the inflated cost of property taxes. And of course it hasn’t kept up with any of the other inflationary costs we are dealing with today as well. And this is something that has hit everyone else because the average wage has not kept up with inflation either.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 1 month ago:
Has nothing to do with “uprooting families”. Average American families are not the ones overestimating the values of their property. It’s people like Trump who use overestimated values on their properties in order to hide money and grift people into paying him more than properties are actually worth. And then readjusting to actual values, or lower, in order to dodge taxes.

In what universe is a Nazi not a racist? Expanding on that, how is a Nazi in any way different from a racist?

Meanwhile they’re drafting an almost 5 trillion dollar tax giveaway for the richest people in the country.
Real money saving group they are.
- Comment on Trump Calls for Department of Education to Be ‘Closed Immediately’ 2 months ago:
Not that I expect someone like you will care about the actual details but he’s only just done it so it’s going to take time for the effects to be felt. This might go over your head but government agencies are huge and complicated entities and when you rip out the heart it takes a while for the limbs to die. The states with robust economies like California, Texas, Illinois, and New York will be fine but poor states like Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi will be seeing school closings before the end of 2025 of this isn’t stopped.
- Comment on Trump Calls for Department of Education to Be ‘Closed Immediately’ 2 months ago:
The department of education is what distributes funding to schools and sets standards for educational guidelines. Without it, certain states can and will say “well this rural town doesn’t really need kids to go to school, they can become factory workers instead.”
Want proof? Arkansas just recently signed a law that helps increase child labor.

- Comment on It really is like this 2 months ago:
Assange and Snowden are not journalists. Snowden was a researcher who leaked government documents detailing how the government was surveiling its own citizens. Which was published in a western-based newspaper outlet. And Julian Assange is a complicated issue. The government’s after him are absolute assholes but you also weren’t censored from finding out what was done to him. And in the end he basically got a slap on the wrist. Not to mention that he himself is quite an asshole. Just listen to anybody who’s ever met the guy in person.
And neither of these people have disappeared into the dark. They make regular appearances and are reported on by Western media outlets fairly often.
And I love how you cite social media as some kind of free press. Like 90% of it’s not owned by oligarchs who have one agenda and that is to gather up every ounce of money and power they can get their hands on. That’s why they let misinformation run rampant on their own sites. Obfuscation is the best way to counter truth.
- Comment on It really is like this 2 months ago:
Oh so you can only find it on the open web where anything can be published and there’s nothing to back up anything and not on the actual site that it’s supposed to come from because we can’t trust that site which is where the information originally supposed to have come from.
And you’re saying I’m the unhinged one. 😂
