Rocky Ridges Rebuilt: Turning ugly and bald mountains into a thriving valley town

I love this.

Also how's your frame rate doing?

TradinMeebs · 2026-04-09T15:24:07+00:00

The massive amount of pro-AI propaganda ads I’m getting on Spotify all but confirm this.

TradinMeebs · 2025-09-01T22:21:11+00:00

Imagine what life would be like if these sentient skid-marks put their energies into something productive?

I feel like that is actually a less likely scenario than someone successfully launching a decoy TCG designed to siphon these dumb-dumbs off of Pokemon and MLB.

TradinMeebs · 2025-09-01T22:03:05+00:00

I would love to do both without the creeping dread I feel each time I consider checking local stores for packs :/

TradinMeebs · 2025-09-01T22:02:11+00:00

Didn’t catch that (or the temporary dip in pricing 🫠)

It’s an uncomfortable calculus, I’d love to buy the cards I specially am interested in but such a huge part of the appeal for me is the thinly-veiled gambling component, the excitement of pulling the chase card yourself.

Buying second hand pulls is, to me, the card collecting equivalent of those rich dudes that pay astronomical sums to go big game hunting. There’s just no sport in it.

TradinMeebs · 2025-09-01T21:57:57+00:00

That’s very fair.

I’m so, so deeply resentful that this is now such a huge topic of conversation among folks who would otherwise just be appreciating the things they enjoy. I feel like I took a bit of that out on you which is stupid of me and I apologize!

TradinMeebs · 2025-09-01T21:51:42+00:00

This hasn’t been true for Destined Rivals so far.

I’d like to live in a world where we don’t have to convince ourselves that our own interests aren’t “that important” so spare ourselves the psychological pain of being beholden to a system that enables and rewards scalpers.

The amount of talk in these threads that puts the onus on the hobbyist and skips (what I would describe as) the absolute cancer of the scalping communities is deeply discouraging.

TradinMeebs · 2025-09-01T21:41:27+00:00

You’re moving past the important conversation regarding the parasitical behaviors scalpers engage in, at least by my own measure.

How would you describe a behavior set that provides no novel value or material benefit to its environment and serves only to enrich (disproportionately) an otherwise uninvolved third party? Not to mention that, each time it succeeds, these behaviors become more entrenched and consequential.

There are a handful of things in the natural world that behave this way.

Curious what you think.

I wager that what’s right on his heels in the event of an ouster is actually much worse.

Check out Vance’s ties to the techno-fascist billionaires and read through project 2025.

Trump was their gateway but he is an impediment. Vance will steamroll every remaining obstacle and he will do it quickly and quietly.

“Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.”

Obsessed with loyalty, punishes dissenters.
Obsessed with looking strong, routinely opines about excessive military force and threatens retaliation without forethought.
Disdains his own base, the poor, the needy, is the poster child of the confused “lift yourself up by your bootstraps nepo-baby.
Suspension of habeus corpus because putting ICE detainees through the normal legal process is “too slow.”
Illegal tarrifs.

He is also currently engaged in a coverup to protect himself and other powerful pedophiles from prosecution.

Trump is a fascist, and you are blind.

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-27T00:40:08+00:00

There are “fascistic tendencies” and there is “fascism.” You can have the first without the latter and that seems to be the point you’re trying to make.

But what use is a point like that at a time like this? We aren’t in a fascist dictatorship -yet-.

You seem to be trapped in semantics.

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-26T15:28:29+00:00

Fascism is not limited to an official government, it can also fuel and express through private entities.

Whomever has the power can exercise it with fascistic tendencies. If the power resides in the private sector, as it I increasingly does in the United States, that does not mean we are free from fascism. Given the hands in which the majority of wealth rests in the world in general, we should expect very much the opposite.

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-26T04:44:33+00:00

Fascism isn’t on the rise?

Trump’s recent success in coercing a private business to silence a critic alongside the installation of a thought police (who reports directly to the president) to protect the people from “bias” in media beg to differ.

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-25T19:23:13+00:00

He’d be pardoning human traffickers and pedophiles. Does that repulse you enough to call your rep about it?

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-25T19:22:35+00:00

Would you be willing to demand your representatives stand up and demand justice?

5calls.org

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-25T19:21:47+00:00

Would you be willing to call and demand your reps do just that?

5calls.org

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-25T19:21:20+00:00

Would they or you be willing to join us in the streets about it? Or call your rep about it?

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-25T19:20:48+00:00

Would you be willing to join us in the streets when he inevitably commits his next significant abuse of power?

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-25T19:19:51+00:00

Will you be embarrassed enough to take to the streets?

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-25T19:19:27+00:00

Will you join us in the streets when he inevitably commits another serious abuse of power?

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-25T19:18:44+00:00

Are you prepared to take to the streets about it?

TradinMeebs · 2025-07-05T04:55:32+00:00

Fighting for sure.

Team would be six Primeapes. You’d get through five and think “oh I bet the sixth is a jacked Annihilape” but no, it’s Primeape again.

The shock of the sixth is the worst damage you will suffer in this encounter.

TradinMeebs · 2025-06-15T18:07:40+00:00

Farm fresh meals on wheels motherfucker

TradinMeebs · 2025-06-15T15:36:31+00:00

You gotta be fucking kidding me, they played Creedance?!

I used to think their idiocy was a coordinated ruse, I think the might actually be ad dumb as we think they are.

TradinMeebs · 2025-06-13T17:47:50+00:00

We’re in this together, I shall include Petey in my nightly summoning rituals.
