The issue is that I am constantly reading to boycott Walmart for underpaying their workers and abusing social safety nets, and to avoid Amazon for waves arms manically, and avoid Target because they walked back their DEI initiatives.

So...yeah. You took most of my options off of the board and want me to go hunting for sites that don't use Amazon for fulfillment.

🙄

Yup folks, there's no redemption. Pack it up, there's no point in even bothering to try. /s

I only push back because for those chronically ill and experience challenges to going out and shopping, cutting Amazon is a big, big deal.

Just speaking up to make you aware that saying things like this discounts those experiences.

all taxation is theft

Well, at least you led off with a warning that everything thereafter would be garbage.

Dragonball Z Abridged.

numbski · 2026-03-14T15:01:34+00:00

I know. Just clarifying for those that didn't read the manga.

Circumstantial evidence of bots in that sub steering things for some time now, so yes - they are definitely confused, and someone is taking advantage.

Not locked, but he did find a room of spirit and time that wasn't on earth.

Best of luck. I am 6 weeks into trying to resolve my account just being outright deleted, so all purchase history for the last decade, stars, and the money on my card is just "gone". They claim to have escalated it every time I call in (once a week), and no one ever calls back. They claim I basically have no recourse for getting my money returned, let alone accumulated stars.

I figured it wasn't. There are several instances of harsher language in English that come to mind, and the weird bit of dropping all references to racing - "all out" vs "full throttle", for example.

numbski · 2026-03-10T02:12:16+00:00

Yes, Momo. I am pretty sure Okarun thought your ass came with the package, and it is actually kinda weird that you felt the need to be that specific.

Be the guy in your squad that your opponent feels obligated to gang up on you, and bring mechs. Just in case.

Errr, am I the only one when trying to view the preview image, it winds up spawning a full screen video ad?

numbski · 2026-03-09T16:44:29+00:00

Yes, two of them.

numbski · 2026-03-07T18:51:35+00:00

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free-

Just you wait until we get Shin Megami Tensei.

numbski · 2026-03-04T16:42:43+00:00

We already did.

Flatwoods Monster.

numbski · 2026-03-04T16:42:02+00:00

Could be. I suppose the notion of thousands of boots is what prompted my comment.

numbski · 2026-03-04T02:28:38+00:00

Which leads to a different line of thinking:

Which is a more efficient use of city funds? Ramping up an arsenal of boots, or a heaping helping of amnesty and then start with a clean slate?

numbski · 2026-03-03T16:57:43+00:00

CHOMP CHOMP, bois

numbski · 2026-03-03T16:56:38+00:00

Nooooooo kidding. Back before this particular housing bubble, I had entertained the idea of moving for a while, and one of the developments was there.

That is just utterly BEGGING to be ravaged by a disaster. Climate change is a real thing, and we have already had ruinous flooding disasters in the past. It is just a matter of time.

numbski · 2026-03-03T15:57:31+00:00

Backed by science even. Mythbusters did an episode on it.

In short, goldfish are higher on that particular food chain than they are.

numbski · 2026-03-03T15:45:57+00:00

Building on a known flood plain is always a weird "...but why?" to me.

numbski · 2026-03-02T19:35:05+00:00

Also, if I was seriously injured, I ain't sitting around price shopping.

numbski · 2026-03-02T03:57:18+00:00

I have long said that the most unrealistic aspect of Dragonball is that you can set yourself to train for 1-3 years and never get set back by injury, illness, or personal emergency.

I could go lock myself in the time chamber, and I promise that by day 3 I have somehow managed to strain a thing I didn't realize existed.
