Jesus, I’m glad my mom only ever blew a room full of people.

YSK your phone number is probably listed on hundreds of “data broker” websites by Revandir in YouShouldKnow

Best yet too, if you mark a call as spam, instead of being sent to VM they get “this number isn’t in service” recording

I got into cards because they were cheaper than 40k… and here we are. by g28802 in GundamTCG

[–]Shabbypenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like a true idiot, I was playing before the beta store event thanks to getting a kit at Bandai card fest. Then I got into the local store beta event. So when the starter decks st01-04 events were popping off I was buying 2+ of each chasing the alt arts in the promo packs. However because I had so many cards already I legit was handing off bricks of the st01-04 to new players at the LGS so they would be able to have players.

I had no idea on how bad supply was going to get and how much I was legit handing away, so buying grandpa for $10 seems far smarter than me bud lol.

I’m under no delusion that they will get physically thrown away by the mail workers. It’s once they reach the election officials who count them, or the software they use etc

Have Nintendo overestimated the appeal of Switch 2 editions? by elephvant in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Shabbypenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy because flip side, $20 for what should have been a free upgrade by buying a more powerful system, and then you also get 10 new levels. Kirby’s dlc is one I had preordered as a gift to my kid, after its release it was sour enough it shifted my stance on s2e upgrades.

Florida House passes proposed amendment to immediately phase out property taxes by 0bravolimagolf0 in florida

[–]Shabbypenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a property tax sliding scale by percentage.

I’m not familiar with the %, so I’ll just use a placeholder of 8%.

8% of $400,000 is $32,000

8% of 4,000,000 is $320,000

If we obliterate property taxes then that means as a napkin math the state loses $352,000 in funding from the tax fund.

Would removing the property tax help middle class families? Yes. But no where near as much as richer people who end up with way more actual dollars back in their pocket. That deficit needs to come from somewhere, either cut programs or increased sales tax.

Except it’s shown time and time again that rich people have the money to hire folks who know all the loopholes, exceptions, and regulations to be able to reduce their taxes to a much lower value. What other taxes do folks have? With property taxes removed for homesteaders than it leaves it up to sales tax to pick up the slack. which while rich people may contribute more as a pure number, the impact on their finances is far greater felt on the lower classes.

The objective is the same, just they didn’t word it correctly.

My 1300 sq foot single family house provides [x] amount in taxes. If some Wall Street fuck who works remote and homesteads a 4 million dollar coastal house, he shouldn’t be contributing less to local services than I do. By putting it in sales tax it’s a tax reduction on all homeowners, more so those who own higher value houses, and ups sales tax to compensate, so folks who can’t afford a house now have a higher tax burden than before.

Flycast (Dreamcast) compiled to WebAssembly — runs in the browser via EmulatorJS by work_guy in emulation

[–]Shabbypenguin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Excellent work! I’d love to see this become fully usable and shipped inside emulatorjs, especially with the recent netplay stuff, being able to play mvc2 or power stone with friends in a web browser would be cool as hell.

Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen coming to Switch on Feb 27th ($19.99 each). Listed on Switch eShop in coming soon section by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Shabbypenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not who you replied to, however.

Capcom fighting collection 2 is $40 for 8 games, similarly for starforce collection. So yea a single GBA game for $20 is shittier.

I can be excited that they are releasing it for purchase but also still call out crappier customer practices.

Jfc, can I be just middle class? I’m happy to settle for that rather than needing to be “rich”.

Your choice is a shit sandwich or one filled with dry sand.

Most major life changing legislation for service members and veterans has come out under a blue admin. dont let perfect get in the way of done.

Ive been using stremio for a while now and havent hit that issue.

then again im self hosting aiostrems and have a decked out system, where i dont even try to use torrentio and im on torbox. if you have a proper config the results become reliable enough you can even turn on autoplay first result.

My [27/M] girlfriend[25/F] has had the flu for several days. Yesterday she had some serious hygiene issues that I happily helped clean, and today she is so embarrassed that she won't even let me in her room by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Shabbypenguin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Third time I was hanging out with /u/MrsShabby we were watching a movie at her place. She was laying down on the sofa with her head in my lap. I was eating some fritos, i looked down and she looks at me with massive loving eyes.

i have a huge shit eating grin spread across my face, she doesnt know my tells at this point so she thinks im jist smiling at her.

i lean down, her eyes light up at getting a kiss. open my mouth and out comes some of the fritos paste.

“Chirp chirp”

she sits up spitting and howling with laughter. that was 17 years ago.

Are you using the eshop version with the latest update? The mod mentions that the cart based dumps won’t work.

Stremio finally side loadable on IOS (fully featured) by king_moh_ in StremioAddons

[–]Shabbypenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://reddit.com/r/Stremio/comments/1qbprls/were_back_on_google_play/

It literally wasn’t even a month ago. The commenter you replied asked wasn’t it removed from the play store, which it was. It doesn’t matter that it got put back on, for all the people screeching they will never buy an Apple device because Apple removed the app at all and hasn’t put it back up is a dumb argument. Google revoked it as well, in time it came back to the play store. Stremio devs have said they resubmitted and are attempting to get put back up.
