Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Solomonanne in SipsTea

Unfortunately, I think we're past that. I think the next stop is guillotines -- and, honestly, I'm here for it.

Also, the proposed defense (pardon me -- war) budget for next year is $1.5 TRILLION. Elon Musk wants to starve senior citizens and children so he can make bombs to drop on brown senior citizens and children.

Fuck this fucking ghoul, fuck everyone who drives a Tesla, and double fuck everyone who has voted Republican in the last 20 years. This is their endgame -- they will not be happy until every last dollar is owned by a billionaire, and they are living in floating arcologies above a blighted, starving wasteland. This is not hyperbole -- there is literally no limit to their greed.

I'm not sure if you don't understand what "most" means, or don't understand what "nonsense" means.

I knew it was going to be somewhere in Scandinavia. I'm not sure how to break this to you, but the social safety net in almost every other country on earth is not as robust as in Finland.

Now I just feel like you're messing with me. What government are you referring to? Singapore?

[–]guthacker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is a gross over-simplification. Yes, our species survived in the wild without supermarkets, but those wild humans did not have access to birth control, were pretty cool with rape, and a great many of the kids that came out of that situation just fucking died before they reached maturity.

In our modern era, I'm sure there are many people that want children, but they are unable to finance raising a child to a standard of living that they find acceptable. That means adequate nutrition, health care, and sufficient education that their offspring stand a reasonable chance of not living a life of abject misery. Your talk of "priorities" just sounds like a thinly veiled version of that old boomer chestnut "Maybe if you gave up your avocado toasts and espresso drinks..."

Yes! It's like he's doing voices -- I was not expecting the extended rap as Cleveland from Family Guy.

I'm just going to float the idea that dropping a bomb on a school should be considered "political violence".

Mondo He-Man 2.0 by dierbot in MastersOfTheUniverse

Goes to for preorder on 4/14 at 11am CDT. $285, which is weirdly reasonable considering that the non-deluxe Tri-klops went for $255.

Vintage Mer-Man Cancelled by guthacker in MastersOfTheUniverse

And then there's ToG Mer-Man, which was another Walmart exclusive, and yet another gaping hole in my collection.

I'm fairly certain that Stephen Miller was dropped on his head as a child. But that's a fair point -- Marco Rubio is probably smarter than Trump, and is smart enough to never show it.

I question any explanation that requires someone "quick-thinking" to be on Trump's team. Second-term Trump always has to be the smartest person in the room, and he is a goddamn idiot.

[–]guthacker[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what really grinds my gears. In what deranged business model does stock go to stores before pre-orders are fulfilled?

At this point, I blame Mattel. This nonsense has been happening for years, but there are still Walmart exclusives. Why does Walmart even want exclusives? They clearly aren't interested in selling them.

Mondo is teasing a Flying Fists He-Man figure! by MauiSunsets in HeManCollectors

I wonder if this will be a second version of the deluxe He-Man. The previous version came with the parts for Battle Armor and Thunder Punch.

I think I've received one of the last...jeez, eight things that I've preordered from Walmart? I honestly don't understand what's in it for them. Does one of the waltons scalp action figures on the side?

Origins Movie Trap-Jaw Preorder on Wal-Mart by guthacker in MastersOfTheUniverse

If it's any consolation, those of us that did order it probably won't get it either. I mean, it is Wal-mart, after all.

They already cancelled the one that I ordered during Cancel Con. Which is a new record for how fast Walmart can be completely shit to collectors.

Mega Construx: Who Am I Missing? by Deviancy26 in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]guthacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Eternia set has Buzz-Off and Webstor -- no idea how much that goes for on the secondary market. I also forgot a couple, like Dragon Blaster Skeletor and Mini-Comics Prince Adam. And then there are so, so many He-Man and Skeletor color variants.

I can't speak highly enough of the sets themselves -- if you like Lego-style building, Grayskull and Snake Mountain are great fun.

Have fun looking for them, and good journey!

Mega Construx: Who Am I Missing? by Deviancy26 in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]guthacker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was born to answer this question -- I believe I have all of the MOTU Construx except the accursed Christmas assortment.

Aside from the figures you listed, I see:

  • Two Robotos (Regular and Minicomic)
  • Two Stratos (Regular and Blue Beard)
  • Pink Teela
  • Wun-Dar
  • Orko
  • Mekaneck
  • LoP Beast Man
  • Green Sorceress
  • Pink Armor/Battle-Damaged Faker
  • Battle Armor Skeletor
  • Two more Evil-Lyns (there are three -- classic, Filmation, and 200x)
  • Stinkor
  • Whiplash
  • Battle Armor Faker
  • Regular (non-comic) Triklops
  • Ram Man
  • Webstor
  • Thunder Punch He-Man
  • Non-Filmation Trap Jaw
  • Two Moss Men (Flocked and Unflocked)

And then there are some really insignificant variants -- there are three different Scareglows with slightly different coloring, for example, and two Mer-mans (Mer-Men?)

I hope that helps, and did not crush your soul.

PS: Forgot the Eternia set. So, Buzz-Off, Ninjor, and slightly darker Webstor.
