But you’ll notice that the price comparison is narrowing and Wal-Mart is slowly not looking better off than the competition. It’s almost like shopping at Dollar Tree is more feasible, it’s what some of us are going to be forced to be doing if not now. Just shopping Dollar Tree almost regularly.

…That’s the point. I’m only saying one bill is dropped than the other.

Don’t be a sovereign citizen. The worst mistakes I’ve seen people pull is argue the law with cops. Cops are like robots, they’re going to be spamming commands after commands. There is no room to debate, so shut up and comply, debate the rest of the shit in court later.

And when you get to court, the worst mistake here is running your mouth about things you only have an idea of, but not the complete story. This is why it’s advisable to get a lawyer.

I’ve watched a court case where my sister tried to defend herself, least partially even with a lawyer. She lost a custody case because she tried driving her narrative to sway court judgment. Don’t be an idiot, like her.

Sucks to be a Chrome user today since Google neutered uBlock.

But really, people undervalue the capability of uBlock. It blocks a lot. I can watch Tubi content - adfree. I can get Netflix’s $7 base plan with ads and no ads with uBlock. Same with generally any streaming service. Has a bit of a trouble working with Twitch which lead to me dropping Twitch altogether.

But man people are missing out a lot and just putting up with so much shit that they don’t ever have to if they’d just shut up, download Firefox and uBlock and just get with the rest of us.

Smart-anything is just a dumb novelty design because rich techie users are about as wowed as dangling plastic toy keys infront of an infant. Nearly nothing is anymore useful when it becomes ‘smart’ and largely gets that title because of it’s capability to connect to the internet and just become another app for data-farming services to nag you over.

These things are just also another way to rob people more money because they’re going to have more models, the company is going to talk down to you for being filthy and not upgrading. You’re going to spend a lot of time dealing with a lot of variables that people already have presented for having a smart device and this is where the argument of “old is always better” comes into play.

I’ve had to drop Monster Hunter World, it’s a game that I was so enamored by to play, had it on my wishlist for months and months. Seen many of my friends play it. I really dig what’s there. I finally had it gifted to me by a friend and I gave it an honest try.

Who at Capcom, decided it was the best idea to not give that game a way to pause the game or skip the cut scenes? Like, I hope that person is fired because that is how you just brush away all of the patience one has for waiting for things to finally give you back control.

And it’s because of that, I now have to leave it collecting digital dust.

There were also many popular games that people have recommended so highly to me before that I just got and tried playing and ended up not liking. I ended up finding myself revisiting free games, older games and vice versa than playing what people recommended me. I’m sorry but a lot of AAA games are just boring experiences that have drained all of the good ideas that could’ve been much more.

Yeah, I get you. I hug very hard to the more popular Linux distros to be more user-ready than what feels like 98% of the rest of the Linux distros out there. Where you’ve got to have a Google search ready at every turn in hopes enough information is connected to resolve any and every problem you may have because you picked a distro that either isn’t supported well or poor documentation or everyone else gives it zero fucks.

Everyone should pirate my little pony porn. Wait, there’s Rule-34, I digress.

Also, please stop carting around old and unfunny memes. Learn to know when memes stop being funny.

Who torrents linux isos? Linux OSes aren’t illegal to pirate.

Corporate Businesses treat streaming services like it’s Cable all over again. Content available here, content available there, no content available anywhere for some shows and movies.

Gaming industry pushing hard to default everything to $70 as the norm, while certain editions are in triple digits and even having the gall to ask for another $30 or $40 for battle passes.

Spotify CEO and Joe Rogan both are paid far more than any music artist on the platform.

I hear you. I have Walmart + and thankfully it’s free. Because for the past 3 orders, one of which I paid $80+ for. The drivers kept dropping off my groceries at two different doors in the same apartment building I’m in. How the fuck can you mess that up?

I think my brain heightened in response because it’s telling me “this asshole I’m replying to is an ignorant moron, so I’ll block them and I think anyone should too”.

My therapist told me that family members can’t be replaced. I disagree. They can be replaced. They only become titles but titles also can be ignored.

You don’t have to associate with, acknowledge or interact with the biological family members if they’ve proven to have been a contractual mess of toxicity in your life.

I’ve replaced members of my ‘real’ family and I got better people. People who care and support. I recommend it, to anyone.

Not likely. This is hyperbole.

What is most likely going to happen is that any right-wing, MAGA cultist and whatever. They won’t be penalized for any harassment or antagonizing behaviors committed by them to those they don’t like.

That’s the reality.

Quite a lot, feels like over a majority of my life.

Heard it when Y2K was a thing.

Heard it when 9/11 happened.

Heard it when Bush got re-elected.

Heard it when 2012 came.

Heard it when Trump got elected first time.

Seems to be a recurring thing.

When one or more superpower countries get involved that have incredibly conflicting interests.

The only song I ever enjoyed from those albums is The Memory Remains.

In 2016, when I voted Bernie Sanders.

I lost two friends that year, because they wanted Clinton.

Welp, we knew who voted for the right person back then.

Once Gabe is done, I just hope he has someone in mind to sell Valve to. With all of the shit soon to fall around us, should Gabe Newell ever pass away or retire, may he find someone competent enough to carry on Steam as it is.

Because all it takes is for one bad deal to torpedo Steam. It could be in EA’s hands. It could be in Microsoft’s hands. Nobody is worthy to handle Steam as is but Valve and Gabe Newell.

Something I don’t really like seeing when someone asks a question like this, is everyone just jerking someone around with their recommendations.

I would advise first to feel your tastes out, what do you feel like doing? What do you think is worth your time and even money to invest in? Whatever you feel gravitates you, go for it.
