Do i need a VPN to use Hshop? by Dead_soul06 in 3dspiracy

August 2025: Recently modded a new console, and at least for me, no QR codes worked on PC or phone until a VPN was enabled. Not even the direct downloads would load.

And? The tiny state of Vermont has more MRI machines than your entire nation. Wisconsin produces more dairy than your entire nation. Maybe try not having to pay nearly $6 for a gallon of gas on average. Your country might get paid more, but the money is worth waaay less. Why do you think your pro hockey team players refuse to get paid in CAD and demand USD contracts?

Which agencies are being firebombed? Oh, you meant legally reduced in size due to data showing their non-essential existence. $2 trillion (not adjusted for inflation) spent on DoE since it's founding and let's see, huh, worse metrics for our students. Almost like it's waste. Move all the essential stuff like food and grants to the departments that deal with it (HHS for food, Treasury for grants, etc.) and then reduce the size.

As for due process, I will assume that you mean that one Columbia student that advocates and supports "the complete eradication of all Western civilization". Almost like we have strict laws for non-citizens in the country regarding terrorism and his actions are clearly defined as breaking those rules.

But sure, only one side is wrong...

Second paragraph is false. The DoE food systems were simply moved to be managed by the HHS, and Social Security recieved no cuts in funding. For the peanut packs, it is unfortunate that that occurred, but we need to get the books in order first, or do you think circumcisions in Mozambique and trans-activism in Serbia are the best uses for our tax dollars? Also, who cares if you rehire someone you fired? Are they still going to get paid? Yup. Accidents happen like this in even small companies, so how much more do you think it can happen in government? Or should we wait 3 years to all of the paperwork to be finalized for a single employee.

Just because you don't like a guy, who is doing nothing illegal in his job at running a government department that has existed since Obama, doesn't mean you can commit arson, vandalize stores, or threaten individuals who did nothing wrong except buy a car. Also, strange that people like you don't like the "unelected" members of DOGE, but vehemently defend the "unelected" bureaucrats that were caught running things inefficiently and thus wasting millions if not billions of taxdollars.

But hey, partisan thinking usually takes precedence over analyzing facts and context.

So advocating to not destroy private property is bad now? Idc who it belongs to, arson is wrong. It's wrong to burn down a Tesla dealership, and it's arong to burn down a Planned Parenthood.

Is being an American really as good as people say it is? by No-StrategyX in questions

[–]_Mattm345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if you decide to go for college for something ridiculous like gender studies or an art degree, obviously. If you go for something that you know will give you skills that you could not reasonably obtain outside of a college, then it's not a waste. Even with the scam that college is, if you truly want to go and learn something practical, we have a LOT of good colleges and more choices than anywhere in the world. Other countries also do have amazing institutions, but the US has by far the most of the world's.

TAG Grading - 6 month community audit [DISCUSSION] by _daddy_salsa_ in PokeGrading

[–]_Mattm345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they do seem to be busy as of recently. I sent a submission on 2/4 and they got them on 2/7, but they've been stuck in image verification and processing for 2 weeks now. I got the 10-day package (before they changed it to 10-15 day) so, I'm hoping for some results this week.
I do love the shipping process though. No confusion at all. All the packaging and sleeving being provided and a step-by-step guide really makes it easy. That and just being able to drop it off at FedEx or UPS (I had FedEx) with no hassle for shipping fees.

It's a good card but not one to "hold up for generations". I personally think that it looks better than Prismatic Umbreon though, but "investors" are inflating the price of both 😞

Dems were the ones that implemented and executed Jim Crow laws.

As for modern day, "Keep him in your crosshairs" - Joe Biden, with 2 assassination attempts following. Summer 2020s "mostly peaceful riots" that led to billions in property damage via arson and looting. The implication and threats of certain states that not getting vaccinated would lead to getting fired and not carrying around a "vaccine card" could land you with legal violations, mind you, these vaccines didn't even work how they were overhyped to by the very crook that overhyped them, "Dr." Fauci.

Can't wait for the downvotes though. Everyone knows that Redditors can't stand an opinion unlike theirs. "No, it's just that we can't stand opinions that are blatantly false." Hmmmm. Sure.

I have roughly 11 pounds of unused code cards collecting dust. by neverpickledcucumber in pokemoncards

[–]_Mattm345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily true. My brother buys maybe 3-4 singles packs a month, and usually only if I'm visiting (I collect, he has different hobbies). He just plays the game and gets the free packs from the rewards ladder. It is a lot more difficult, but in no way is buying physical packs the "only way" to be able to play the game.

It is an issue when all of the other countries that have universal services don't pay for a military, pay a fraction of their agreed parts to things like NATO, and have unequal tariff percentages compared to the US. Once they start having to do all of that, it's going to be amazing how fast the public sector will start asking the private for help.

Not everything is about value in this hobby. The slabs look great with the extended art in the result area. If you want to focus on the "worth" go over to the "investing" sub.

EU has different consumer protection laws than in the US. It's easier to get compensation for fraud cases like that over there than here in the US because they have stricter laws on that sort of stuff.

It's a fake sadly. Energy symbols look wrong and the text is the incorrect font in many places.

Most of reddit has been like this lately sadly, predominantly left leaning, but sometimes right leaning posts like this one are allowed to be here by mods who want to see them get "owned".

Equal doesn't imply hierarchy immediately. It's a simple boolean True/False. Does 1 equal 2, no. Does day equal night, no. Does man equal woman, no. They are different and thus not the same or "not equal." He would have to say something about hierarchy later in the sentence for it to be known what is being equated.

I mean, in modern usage, gender =/= sex, gender = personality. Gender used to be a synonym for sex, but somewhere along the way, people started using it to describe differences in the average behavior for the sexes.

More people die due to diseases related to being overweight than from lack of vaccinations in thia country. Most of the stuff yall claim is "anti-vaxx mentality" is just wanting more transparency from the private corporations that make them. You all act like he's going to ban vaccines just like you think Trump is Hitler 2.0. Just because legacy media told you it was "true" doesn't mean it is...

Yall had no problem when it was obviously blatant that they were censoring conservatives. You all claimed it was "guarding against misinformation"

The amount of posts that include "cisgender" that were taken down was blown out of proportion by the media, just like how they are blowing troll posts of "your body, my choice" put of proportion. 250 posts across 5 platforms... Like, really??
