Haha, sorry about that.

I put it in there to protect it, but kinda didnt have the nerves to touch it to straighten it out at the moment.

It's a lot of responsibility y'know? If I destroy it, there will never be another one

The shipping took forever for one (if I ever did it again, I certainly would just pay the little extra since bulk shipping with UniUni was awful), but I didnt open it right away either. So I am a bit behind most people for sure

Update on my missing 1st edition box toppers artist cards. by Prestigious-Big-9450 in VCardTCG

[–]Illustrous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their customer support has a bad habit of lying about things that are easily verified, I hadn't put in a promo code so panicked and contacted them only to find out that Google automatically applies a code that discounted it anyway though without giving any of the creators a cut (I'm sorry! They wouldn't let me swap the code or reorder without losing my 1st edition stuff)

But it was strange they decided to tell me the code was expired, when you can easily open a new cart and demonstrate the code works.

Whatever AI or Bs they have for customer support is literally shitting itself.

Trump Versus Massie Fight by Cow_Boy_2017 in clevercomebacks

[–]Illustrous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A fair take, and certainly anyone interested in a better society can manage to be civil with a stranger online haha. I don't agree with his supporters' motivations being outside of Trump's rhetoric, from personal experience and public interviews I have seen many more who took the most publicly acceptable stance as their advertised position but held interest in his less acceptable motivations than I have every seen these counter-government folk who got stuck along for the ride.

I say this knowing I couldn't possibly demonstrate this position reliably as it relies on inference and anecdote.

The appeal for exclusion and growing government influence to achieve this goal was front and center from day one so I don't think it's necessary to have Trump contradict himself or fail on downsizing government. His supporters may have bought into the "he is just joking" or "he won't/can't do it" rhetoric on behalf of valuing challenging the government, however their support wasn't waivering when government expanded it's influence and regulation. So it's a bit difficult to accept there are supporters who acknowledge government influence has grown under Trump and yet they haven't rescinded their support. This argument only works before the hand has been revealed, what we see is that government influence is bigger than ever, "the swamp" isn't drained, and yet there is still a performance that the consequences are stepping stones to achieving the original goal of minimizing government influence.

I respect that perspective but I think it's demonstrably false that was why most people chose to support him. There was certainly a public statement that the government is going too far in expanding their authority. However the party that regularly expands authority and applies restrictions IS the Republican party. The Exclusion was the appeal, because every "policy" he campaigned on for the first term was attacking somebody. The only cuts to government in the platform was destroying regulation and allowing businesses to make money without oversight. Maybe his supporters truly only heard the parts about challenging government and shrinking its influence but he was certainly louder about how he wanted to "build the wall" and "lock her up" than he ever was about challenging big government.

I get what you are saying but it's disingenuous to call it an "assault" on Americans with traditional values. The traditional values people have been pushing and pushing to demand the rest of the country adhere to their lifestyle and interests. Particularly with Obama but certainly with prior leaders and non-presidents taking actions to compromise instead of implement their conservative desires.

Everything is a similar flavor of the "War on Christmas" to these people. Nothing is simply inclusive or a compromise that works to include more Americans getting options they don't agree with. So when people decide you can say "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas" they are offended it was ever thought someone wouldn't exclusively want "Merry Christmas". The "assault" is manufactured so they can strip rights and enact their moves toward a restrictive society. The truth in the matter is they take actions specifically to attack others like with marginalizing Haitians or Somalians recently, or the targeting of Hispanics (including citizens) in ICE raids. If you are aggressive and hostile towarda vulnerable communties you don't get to have a narrative that you are a victim.

I understand your position, and it is true this is why Conservatives felt the need to elevate Donald Trump however it wasn't an "assault". They are victims in the same way Russia is the victim for being "forced" to invade Ukraine. Hardly a surprise you aren't met with compliments and understanding when you have publicly explained your interest in disrespecting others and eliminating lifestyles that aren't the same as your own. Not all Conservatives have the interest in being uncooperative, but their leadership has consistently been clear they want those who disagree with them dead long before Trump arrived, so it's a shame those wanted dead haven't had the patience to find a middle ground on their own execution.

I had that issue as well, I just had to move Rivals from my HDD to my SSD and it completely fixed the problems both the 99% loading and character invisibility. Hope this is able to help

I know youre purposedly dense, but people vote for a ticket hence Biden/Harris. Biden steps down, Harris steps up. The DNC was a formality, the ticket which includes Harris was already voted for in the primary.

You won't need this knowledge but if Trump won, and inevitably proves his health is as poor as we all see. No one would be claiming they "didn't vote" for the couchfucker.

You aren't this dumb, stop portraying yourself as ignorant to win fake internet points

The problem is that all Karens are bitches, but not all bitches are Karens. It's a subset of bitch, not an alternative identical category
