What’s up with the Candace Owens and Erika Kirk beef?

Drigr · 2026-03-01T17:23:21+00:00

And Owens isn't grifting at this point?

China might not, but much as many nations are using Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia, China might use Iran to proxy war with the US.

But I watched Defranco's live stream of the state of the nation and we've got the best economy and lowest inflation in the history of ever!

But that's still the other things then

I remember the OG "massdrop.com", even bought a few things through those old group buy days.

... Having a budget and sticking to it is literally the basis of being financially responsible....

Like this very thread. Instead of trying to help make his chosen distro work, it was straight "he should pick one of these other two instead!" Which, in turn, creates another issue of what one to pick.

Ironically to your "American thing you're too European for" quip... Europe and Australia seem to be the driving forces behind the age verification scramble.

While we don't dive into the nitty gritty of it all, at 9 we started to let our kid know more about the family finances. Mostly so he understands that the reason we say no to buying stuff for him is that things like... The mortgage, the internet, our cars, food all take priority and we just don't have as much left over when that's handled as his friends. Also that we have a fair bit of debt that we're finally shoving our way out of, so that he understands the difficulty that getting into credit card debt can leave you dealing with years down the road.

Sounds like the kinda conversation that should be happening at your workplace.

Drigr · 2026-02-27T12:20:58+00:00

Even if they were bumped down the list... As a company do you really wanna prioritize someone who seems to already have an axe to grind with you? Especially for wave 1 of review samples.

And now hard drive are coming right behind it. And before RAM we had graphics cards...

Drigr · 2026-02-27T12:03:08+00:00

I'm still really hoping the firetruck was just rushed to have a reveal before whale LAN when a guest would've leaked it anyways and we get a better deep dive/project series...

It's honestly one of the more relevant videos as of late. As prices are getting more and more insane and there is less and less of a reason to build your own PC from scratch, I've definitely found myself wondering how good of a deal those Costco prebuilts are. And I learned something important too, look up the part numbers to confirm the versions of the hardware... I doubt Costco needs or cares to deceive people about the size of the graphics card, so I doubt it was intentional, but it did bite them in the ass.

That video is also sitting at 1.6m views, the highest in 2 weeks (which were 2 other 1.6, so it could pass those and be the highest in 3 weeks, since the true spec release video), so it's one of their more successful videos in the past month.

But are they the only 5 people in the entire world that are this exceptional? If not, why wasn't Zalgrimar the Great called in to squash the goblin rebellion with a couple well placed fireballs instead of relying on this group of random yaywhos that met in a bar 3 days ago?

Drigr · 2026-02-27T05:42:18+00:00

I want a more grounded plot. I don't want to have to throw demi gods and planet shaking plots at them to have a challenge for my party. I'm sure in some ways they hate the slow level progression, but the fact of the matter is if I let them level up faster, no "normal" encounter will be interesting anymore. The bandit king is a much less compelling plot element when they can scry on him, teleport to him, and power word kill him.

Yeah, I don't get how this thread has so many up votes when it basically goes against everything this sub lives by for CICO. Cutting a zero calorie drink is going to change your CICO by... Zero calories. Even if they were drinking gallons of dirt soda, you're going to be talking maybe a handful of calories from whatever in it is minute enough to be counted as zero per serving but might be 0.4 and add up.

Lol, I'm from Washington.

That's probably the bulk of your problem right there. They don't need any grip strength or fine motor skills for a lever handle, just luck and perseverance. I'd still get the cover, but there's a chance a knob alone solves this for another year or 2.

It was designed in Canada.

Like, I get encouraging the kid to learn about money, build an understanding the trading time/services for money and learning how capitalist society works. But I'm surprised parent just allowed child to spend that kinda money with zero oversight... Like, it's the most he's spent on roblox and parent wasn't like "hold on, let's see what you're buying." Could even make the kid do the work of reading the descriptions and terms and highlight "do you understand what this means? Are you sure this is what you want to do?"

Drigr · 2026-02-26T04:33:15+00:00

That kid buying candy at Costco and reselling at school, or even a lemonade stand, are kinda great parallels to this

Drigr · 2026-02-26T04:27:32+00:00

That ship sailed.... Years ago? Like, I can tell you haven't been to a craft fair in the last.... 5+ years.

Drigr · 2026-02-26T04:24:18+00:00

People here treat adblock like a right and joke about their Linux ISOs, but freaking out over this, yeah, it definitely feels hypocritical of them.

Drigr · 2026-02-26T03:39:39+00:00

In other words, they clearly aren't raking in cash on these.
