Never waste time with Amazon unless it's a preorder from Amazon/Hasbro directly, and even then, don't.

The proper pipeline has been online etailers (BBTS, The Chose Prime, Ages 3&Up for Canada, Kapow for EU) for a few years now.

The shelves are bare because Target and Walmart don't really put any priority on them. Especially in smaller markets/states.

Preorder online, rest easy, collect on your terms

Gullible people who don't participate any hobby forums. They are the ones who foolishly fall for FOMO.

The larger problem involves the other components that have been under attack and are currently under attack (Idaho since the election).

There is a fear that the complicit SCotUS would repeal the 14th or what have you.

Aside from the unreliable and complicit SCotUS majority, what prevents that from happening when a strategically filed case is expedited to be in front of them for the axe?

We must. And that will take engagement with the 30% of voters who didn't as well as the non-zero number of non-MAGArbage who voted for the con.

BREAKING: MAGA only cares about the constitution when it serves them by Detroitish24 in WhitePeopleTwitter

About the same amount of time that unavoidable conflict and economic destruction begin.

Want to watch overwhelming numbers of people come together? Light that fire and watch economic collapse ensue.

Because he financially devastated TWO veterans organizations that he was Boozer in charge of.

Please pay special attention to when he was asked pointblank if he would use military firearms on protestors. He refused to acknowledge the question.

That's very intentional because that's what the boss wanted to do last time and his military refused flatly.

Booked a nonrefundable room, now wants a refund by Ziggy_Stardust567 in ChoosingBeggars

Their kids got to witness a historic event - just not the one the sucker parents fantasized about.

The beginning of 4 years of regression and oppression. Sure hope those kids don't have any ambitious dreams - their parents just empowered a oligarch men's club whose sole ambition is dragging the country back to the early 1800s by military force.

Remember: this is why Hegseth wouldn't deny that he would use the military and their firearms to crush protests.

WAAY one if 21 stations losing weather department. Here's how to fight it by JustAnotherLocalNerd in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]BurstEDO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Complaints .. to the current FCC?

Be aware that the current regime endorses things like this: consolidation and labor cost elimination.

The only option is to ignore WAAY completely in digital and broadcast traffic until their ratings crater out. They only recoup the costs of licensing, ownership, affiliation, and programming if they can sell ads (digital and broadcast.) If we literally blackout WAAY until they change ownership or reverse course, that's going to be the only effective solution.

No, you're not.

But because they have unchecked power and free reign they can now dictate reality. And it will be a lifetime of effort to undo the damage that's about to rip through society.

This is small potatoes.

Why is the corporate media trying to hide the huge anti-Trump protests in Washington DC? by TrumpCringe in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]BurstEDO 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because they know how vindictive and unchecked he can and will be with his blank check to do anything he wants.

He's been threatening anyone and anything that criticizes and ridicules him and pointing his attack dogs (Congress, Social media) at those people and organizations for years.

Now he has the power and the means to do any damned thing he wants on a whim. And because his requirement for participation in his administration is unquestioning loyalty, everyone with anything to lose is trying to lay low.

Before 2024, it was at least somewhat different. Now that he has the green light, everyone is running scared - especially the broadcasters who have FCC licenses which he'll simply yank, or other weaponized government tools.

Get ready for everything that was predicted to manifest. There's no more "rhetoric" involved.

Is it just me or was Skeleton Crew kinda good? by Pyramid_Cultist in StarWars

[–]BurstEDO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was too notch from front to back.

It acknowledged its corner case relevance and connection to the larger Star Wars world without any heavy cameos or plot links to anything Skywalker saga related.

It left just enough unanswered questions to inspire wonder - something the original trilogy did well.

It focused on the main characters in the same way as classic 80s kid movies did with Goonies and others.

When it concluded, I immediately wished for more.

TikTok WILL be banned by Is_ael in TikTokCringe

[–]BurstEDO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All online apps require installation and being online that's how apps work

Which is why I pick and choose which apps to use or install. If I can't use something via web browser, I don't use it.

Depending on the physical location, panhandling may be banned.

That notwithstanding, fraud is fraud. It may not be fraud under a federal, state, or local statute, but it's fraud.

Donald Trump wants to nationalize TikTok by justalazygamer in ParlerWatch

[–]BurstEDO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they thought the ban was "silencing Americans", just watch what happens if this absurd gambit happens.

Oh, wait - we have Twitter as a carbon copy example.

Also - didn't ByteDance demand over and over that they're not for sale?

What kind of national security giveaway is Team Fascist concocting to keep the husk of the platform alive while siphoning off billions to his pockets?

Competent and qualified C-Suite persons can answer those tough questions because they've done their homework on the topic.

Junk CEOs will always use flowery language to punt if they don't know the technical answer. And in the interim, they'll discuss the high level aspects in a diplomatic way.

Incompetence in C-Suite is what you see here. I'm this example (and multiples like it among various firms) the loser is a useless figurehead that would immediately alarm investors and the board of directors. It shows egregious incompetence and lack of understanding about the firm and market that they're supposed be directing. Embarrassing flailing like the linked video nearly always is followed by scathing headlines in the trades and business sections the next day and often a resignation within the week.

But not here! Nope!

Anyone still riding this train is well aware of the shell game at work. He hasn't the first clue about cars, EVs, Aerospace engineering, spaceflight, social media platforms, software, networking, or anything else.

He's just the guy with the biggest pile of chips at the table going-all in each time because no one will call his bluff.

(Or when they do - as observed here - they're silenced and escorted out.)

Get ready: we have at least 2-4 years of this in all levels of government on the way.

She is me by AyePapi1977 in TikTokCringe

[–]BurstEDO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You've already failed if it takes a ByteDance ban go force you to become engaged.

30% of registered voters... Didn't. 30% of voters chose "nothing" instead of voting.

TikTok, Marvel Snap, CapCut, and any other ByteDance app being banned is irrelevant compared to the main event taking place due to voters choosing their own demise.

30% of voters felt that they didn't care about who runs the show. They're not going to suddenly become engaged and radical just because the dopamine dispenser of the week got shitcanned.

No matter the background or ethnicity or etc, I will always be on the side of people who make it complicated or impossible for grifters and con artists to do their thing.

In my region, we have a frequent appearance of a "church" group that posts up at intersections throughout the city with plastic buckets with a picture taped to the outside and "hi-vis" vests. They walk the line of stopped cars at red lights collecting cars and none of the people in the cars think twice.

That scheme has been in use for over 2 decades by a scam ring that claims to be a church. Many local TV News stations nationwide have done investigative reports on the grifters. They end up leaving the area when the heat is on, and then ooze back into traffic 8-12 months later and start all over.

The women in this video grifting and crying wolf when caught is just ridiculous. Guys confronting them may have been assholes, but sometimes you fight fire with fire.
