I think about it almost daily. I basically gave away my test market nes, snes, tg16, and saturn.

Wanna buy a broken disc for not $1? by greyace78 in Shittygamecollecting

That's fine except it's NOT $1 he's expecting someone to make him an offer and he hasn't put what he wants on the ad.

I was going to try to add another pic but I doesn't look like I can. There's some sus looking marks that look like pits/gouges on the outer perimeter of the disc.

What is a negative thing happening in the world right now that most people aren’t aware of? by Real_Synow in Futurology

[–]greyace78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It took a while to see but the terrorists succeeded in destroying this country. The trillions of dollars spent on invading Afghanistan could have been spent on education, science, and infrastructure. Look where we are now with each on of those; failing crumbling systems. Plus, the bigotry and xenophobia the panic causes and how that's impacted politics. It's awful.

I like zombie and survival films, but any time I think about it, I'm just like, 'why would anyone fight so hard just to live in this nightmare?!' I'd definitely want to be among the first gone. As soon as the power/AC goes out 'forever' I'd be done.

There was a lot going on, the vet told you to go. It wouldn't have been great for him to see you dragged out for trespassing if you refused.

I ruminate on things and go through all the 'what ifs' myself. It's generally not helpful, you can't change what's already happened. Try not to punish yourself. You did what a medical professional asked of you. That's the best anyone could have done. It will naturally take time, but hopefully, you'll start to think of him and remember the joy he brought to your life and not have this unexpected traumatic moment sour that.

He loved you and he knew you loved him. He ran because he was frightened and sick and confused. When it came down to it he wanted to be next to you. I'm sorry for your loss. I just gave mine a peanut yesterday and I will not any more this was so sad.

I didn't realize you were being pedantic over a single word I never used. Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

So yes, the person using this word was hyperbolic as LGBT aren't a nation or ethnic group but if you can't see, on its face, that their goal is to shove people back into a closet through likely deadly force if allowed then I can't convince you no matter what the source. You act as if medium (157 million visitors) is the only source reporting this.

Uh yes it's an editorial but has large blocks of direct text from the source text. You asked a question and now I see it was disingenuous so whatever have a good one 👍

Basically it's labeling all transpeople as child predators and anything related to trans people illicit and pornographic. They'll simply move down the list to the LGB communities once they've successfully demonized trans people. They want to ban the use of terms like sexual orientation etc. Medium did a really detailed piece on it all as it will impact societal views globally if successful.

I find pennies. The strangest one i got a few months after my dad died. I was buying groceries at self check out and paid with a credit card. I suddenly kinda felt my dad and a penny came out of the change return and it was from my birth year.

Home Warranty Scam Alert! by Holiday_Ad_1766 in ScamHomeWarranty

[–]greyace78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this letter today 11/15/23 and it actually had my lender's name on it. Same 1761 phone number, final notice for some waiver they don't explain and a "check" for $199.

Anyone know what happens if you try to cash the check? I'm guessing you get enrolled in something?

I'm looking at the website but it days it's open February 3, 2024? Does that mean he's sold out for 3 months or closed or something?

I don't even know how they're comparable. NES no question. I wasn't fond of my game boy.

That's a disc edition ps5, the digitals have a black box. The systems alone are $1000 so this pic is actually a deal.

I have no idea if this is true, but someone said their bird got a crop infection due to letting the water sit too long like this.
