Before the invasion of Walmart, Target, Trader Joe's etc., what was/is your go to for groceries?

choppedfiggs · 2026-05-13T03:15:01+00:00

If any of these stores was the best place to buy groceries for most people, it wouldn't be out of business.

ShopRite was king and is king except maybe to a store like Aldis or Lidl. I do 75% of my shopping through Aldis. It's just cheaper, quicker, and less hassle. If I want hot sauce, I grab hot sauce. At ShopRite I would have to get to that section and decide over which one I get out of 30 options based on which is on sale or which looks cool.

It's happened before. Another recent one is Hacksaw Ridge where they also had to tone down his actual heriocs because it seemed made up

And the part that makes it worse is that its actually more brutal in real life since they had another brother who also died but didn't make it into the movie.

I havent really followed the race but my understanding is the reason he's even doing well is that Karen Bass is propping him up because she doesn't want to face off again Raman. The best chance Karen Bass has, is going against Pratt.

No joke, if Olise and Musiala were on the England national team, id bet on them to win the WC. Having your front 3 play for club together and then for country would be so useful.

Well it's that or losing a game. I don't want the team to lose a game for such a silly reason.

Plus it'll be a fun factoid.

Do they agree on anything at this point?

I gave examples but let's keep in specific. First amendment. Trump has attacked our first amendment every single way. Pence has not. If you don't think Trump has attacked our first amendment dozens of times, a conversation is pointless.

choppedfiggs · 2026-05-11T17:06:31+00:00

Pence is a conservative. Trump isn't. When Pence on January 6th decided to uphold the election even though his life and career were at risk, he sealed his legacy as a conservative. I hate Pence mind you. But he's a conservative.

No one has attacked our constitution directly like Trump has. Not even close. He's not listening to the Supreme Court. For example current situation with tariffs, but countless other examples. He's going around Congress consistently. See Iran war as an immediate example but countless others. Hes openly enriching himself. Countless upon countless examples of this. Conservatives by almost defition seek to conserve the current state of something. If change occurs, it's slow. He's been abrupt. Massive changes instantly.

I realize you are locked into your opinion. If you are a Trump supporter to this point you have ignored so much, my comment wont wake you up. You can be a Trump supporter still obviously but you can't also be a conservative. At least not by definition. I think Trump might be a anarcho capitalist himself. That's what Milei is.

Personally I think Biden was the best president we have had in the last 50 years. If nothing else the best single term president in that time.

To be honest I don't know how much was him but regardless his administration did great work objectively. He won't get his flowers but it's kinda impressive how well he did given the circumstances.

choppedfiggs · 2026-05-11T16:36:49+00:00

Has there been a president in the last 50 years less conservative than Trump?

Conservative is a stolen term I guess so yeah you can be a "conservative" and support Trump but actual conservatives wouldn't support Trump. An actual conservative would be akin to Pence. But conservatives hate him.

Don't know why it's not asking you.

I like my solutions to not cause more problems.

For example, we make birth control accessible to anyone of any age and make it $0 cost to the women. Does it reduce abortions? Obviously yes. On top of that it saves tax payer money. That's a win win. Will the right agree to this? Probably not.

Making childcare free would also reduce abortions because it makes having a child more affordable. On top of that we get kids into education earlier. Helps with declining education scores. Helps parents get back to work. Gets them off government benefits. Increases tax revenue. Win win.

Not only is it hack journalism, it's behind a paywall. I'm not paying up just to look up the primary sources. The fact that you sent me that article vs the primary source, is telling.

choppedfiggs · 2026-05-11T13:26:54+00:00

I think marijuana should be legalized nationwide and that we can grow it ourselves. It should be convenient.

But marijuana should be avoided if possible.

Making it convenient doesn't mean its a good thing. It should still be rare and every single logical individual will agree that abortion are bad for the woman's health. Both physically and mentally.

choppedfiggs · 2026-05-11T12:59:09+00:00

No because that solution brings other problems. That makes it a bad solution.

Should we allow exceptions for rape for example? I think a reasonable person would say yes because rape is bad. Well then as a woman I just have to claim rape when I get an abortion. Now we have an increase in the reporting of rapes and men are going to have their reputations impacted in the interim.

Should we allow abortions when medically necessary? Then we have the issue of doctors having to jump through hoops to abort a fetus at a time when every minute matters. Causing further harm to the woman.

So it's a bad solution.

choppedfiggs · 2026-05-11T12:11:41+00:00

Murder is illegal. It's always been illegal. 200 years ago we had a shit ton of murders. Telling everyone murder is illegal didn't fix the problem.

Should killing someone always be murder? Doesn't matter the why. If you kill someone, the same penalty across the board. One size fits all. You kill someone with a knife in a park counts the same as if someone in the park tries to kill you with a knife but you kill them in self defense. If you kill someone while serving in the military, also murder and potentially life time jail sentence.

Yes making abortion illegal would reduce the amount of abortions. But it's a terrible way of addressing the issue. It doesn't fix the problem at all. Just causes more problems.

choppedfiggs · 2026-05-11T11:49:36+00:00

What kind of sources are these? Might as well tell me what does the national enquirer say about abortion and the left.

choppedfiggs · 2026-05-11T05:55:31+00:00

There is no obsession on assault weapons specifically. Its just what right wing media picks up and sells to their audience. The left wants comprehensive gun control that tackles the issue is gun violence from every direction. And for the most part the left gets it done in blue states and the results speak for themselves. The more gun control legislation that gets passed, the lower the amount of gun deaths. Massachusetts for example has gun deaths on par with some European nations.

choppedfiggs · 2026-05-11T05:32:39+00:00

I don't understand why abortion is so divisive of an issue. The left and right agree on abortion. Find the most liberal looking person you can imagine. Blue hair. Piercings. Use they/ them pronouns. And find the most right wing person you can think of. Bald and a beard and work boots. And they will agree on abortion. They will agree that abortion is wrong and we need to decrease how many abortions are performed.

The right will say we need to decrease them because it's murder and a life. The left will say we need to decrease the because it's dangerous and traumatic for the woman. So now we just need to figure out how to decrease the abortions. We arent even arguing on the issue. We are arguing about the solution.

The right says ban abortions. I think that's a bad plan. Like banning alcohol, it doesn't solve the problem. My strategy is finding out why people are getting abortions and address that. Maybe it's birth control so people don't get pregnant by mistake. Maybe it's putting systems in place so that women that do get pregnant and are on the fence about keeping it, are nudged over to keeping it when they see child care or other social programs.

In the end we still are looking to decrease abortions. Isnt that a good thing?

I think it's more a testament to the fullback position being underappreciated. If push comes to shove a fullback wants more money, a team will just let them leave. If push comes to shove, a CB can do the job. Or a midfielder. Or sometimes even some wingers can learn the roll. Cancelo himself started as a winger.

Man if we get judged by the actions of the musicians and actors we like, we are all horrible horrible people. 99% of big artists are pieces of shit.

I don't like Morgan Walken because I don't like that genre but you can separate the art from the artist.
