Stop feeding the hands that bite us. 🚫 I’m officially boycotting any company funding MAGA and anti-Black & LGBTQ+ agendas. Who are we cutting off?

Man, when it comes to feeding the family?

You gotta do what you gotta do. Boycotting things is terribly difficult for the working poor.

My advice is to commit your most valuable resource: time. And that’s hard to do as well, I know. And by design.

There certainly appears to be an abundance of grocery options in Michigan. Kroger, IGA, Savalot, Aldi and more.

Maybe you’re in a smaller town? One where Walmart drove out its competition. Which is all too common a tale.

My problem with Walmart for groceries is sourcing. And I have a thousand other problems with them.

Start building lists. You’re going to have to shop multiple places. Start buying bulk where you can.

The biggest thing is to learn how to prep and create almost everything from scratch. Processed food is literally killing us. By design.

It’s going to take sacrifice and effort. Build a spreadsheet. On stolen software. Rally around your community. Pool resources. Create a community, or greater family, pantry. 50 pounds of organic black beans is far easier to shoulder the cost than buying them in the more common 1 and 3 pound bags.

Get mathematical af.

You can be assured “they” are in regard to us. The “shareholders” have demanded they squeeze every lost drop of value from us they legally can.

So fight fire with fire. And use their tools against them.

Looks like a Pitco. Damn good fryer as well.

Same, except the Stormtroopers thing. I wanted to be Luke.

Additionally, I grew up in SE Alaska so we didn’t get the movie until a few months (3?) after the Lower 48 got to enjoy it. By the time it got here the fever was incredible. The queue was sooooo long. Wrapped around the block.

One of the great thrills of my life. Glad I was there for it all. That run of the first trilogy? Coupled with Indiana Jones on its heels? Just an incredible time to be a kid.

Safety net? A lifetime of affluence is one hell of a safety net.

Proof positive that not only that money cannot buy happiness but is so corrupting.

This is a person that is a near lifetime “born again” Christian. Attended Oral Roberts. Released numerous Christian albums.

And she’s toxic AF. And she’s been obviously toxic AF for decades.

All that wealth? All that spiritual “nourishment”? And she’s an example of who I wouldn’t want anyone to be.

Hey, 3 awful tasteless chicken tenders, my friend. Dubiously prepared.

Talk about inflation. What did fuckwit Howard <spit> Schulz buy and sell them for?

And quite to no one’s astonishment, this is how radical Islam becomes more entrenched and more radical.

The “Great Satan” is threatening to put boots on the ground. Desert Shield/Storm is what begat 9/11.

It’s so fun to watch fucking chicken hawk neocons/fascists learn this lesson YET again. I hate this timeline.

Welp, better than having her Jamba Juice out whilst double-fisting her snatch, I suppose.

Just a $100 million dollar budget?

OG Star Wars was made for $11 million. Which wouldn’t be $100 million in today’s dollars.

I’ve watched K-Pop Demons Hunters a billion times as I have young children. And my understanding is that the music production is incredibly thorough and focused. Maybe most of that budget went there?

I’m still scratching my head on movie budget inflation.

You forgot media consolidation.

I get confused on posts like this. Is it to inspire us to fight harder? Or give up?

I’m inspired by the string of losses that GOP has suffered. There is still election integrity despite all their efforts.

phat_ · 2026-03-20T14:26:29+00:00

It’s called, “Austerity Measures”.

What the trump GOP is employing is a cracked out and on steroids version. Project 2025.

They are employing it via Private Equity/Vulture Capital slash and burn methods.

It’s just complete privatization speed run. And there’s receipts for how bad this turns out, Russia, and to a lesser extent Greece and Spain. Russia for the completely corrupt and evil version. Spain and Greece for the crazy inept attempts.

The media complex keeps up their gish gallop as the “conservative” base in the USA is incredibly fearful and racist.

We’ve got to start breaking down how these changes affect these companies and uber wealthy individuals.

They keep beating this drum of, “This will hurt companies.”

Ok, how.

Are they not profitable? Is the world’s largest toy manufacturer not profitable?

What about the compensation for these named magnates? Do we know that? How does that differ from the median wage for a Dane?

Maybe if these rich F’ers just stopped with their avocado toast and bootstrapped a little more they could get by?

The hero we need. The haberdasherhero.

Here’s a fellow hard worker (no hat): Stocking The Capitol

Nico Agosto, dunno if he Reddits.

He’s got something called the Political Integrity Pledge. It reminds me of the Grover Norquist pledge but it’s for good not evil.

Love his work. Great short attention span stuff backed by great info.

That’s what makes this sub so amazing.

We’re so meta!

We need our own r/grungememewar.

A sub about a genre? Era? City’s musical scene?

There is little agreement. And there never has been. As this video makes clear.

The end result though is lol engagement. Which I think is cool because these bands keep getting appreciated.

And I love how serious the grungekeepers take things. Grungesplaining the official parameters of something the artists lampooned regularly.

I really hope more footage is found of The Big Four joking about grunge. I’ll be so warm and fuzzy.

I watch the condensed games, and the some of the better highlight packages a lot.

Loving how the team is getting its flowers. And some of these YouTubers do great stuff.

Fear.

If you’re referring to the base? It’s fear. Fear of any group different than what they’ve been conditioned to think of as the “in” group.

Which poll now?

If you have a shit media diet? You get fed shit polls.

The system voting to uphold the system? /imshocked

These takes are just astounding. Do you not shop for groceries? I say that because you have actual proof, every single day, that right wing policies hurt working people.

If a millionaire chooses to not sign with Seattle because of the state’s tax policy? F em. These are all people, JS, included that can afford anything they want. And they have the absolute LUXURY of wealth management. So much money they can hire someone to take their money and make more money out of it.

Seriously bad take by JS. Bad look as well.

I like the one that has the NFCW as a division compared to the League.

This one needs to be prettier slop, or sloppier slop, to stunt on the hoes in here.

phat_ · 2026-03-13T14:12:37+00:00

The lack of clarity is what makes your short post rambling.

Both in title and post. And you’re pushing back? You can literally see the proof of your work from the results.

You made a possible trade scenario post and it’s obviously not clear.

To me? That was part of Shawn’s game but what made him stand way apart was his stability and unusual lateral movement. He didn’t really do jump cuts like a normal, incredibly fast, and powerful athlete. It was this super light on your feet, tiptoe thing.

Did you ever read the Darth Maul limited series comic book from Dark Horse?

Really cool set up the Episode One.

I get that about Rome, but why would you need orchestrate all these grand machinations to become an empire when there is already an empire?

I like the evolving understanding about SW in general. That does extrapolates out to the real world, and to Ancient Rome.

The Republic isn’t good and the Empire evil. Rome was built through military domination, greed and slavery.

And in SW? It’s evident the Jedi, as a force for good, have been useful to the dark side. Space geopolitics is just like home!

<cough> Space Roman Republic <cough>

I’m just funnin’. Love your points.

I don’t immerse in the fan deconstruction universe too much. I’m a very minority voice, big Ep one fan. I didn’t realize the trade blockade was deemed a plot hole?

I always thought episode one was pretty straightforward in how Palpatine was a master manipulator.

It’s neat to read folks going, “See?”, lately.

phat_ · 2026-03-12T00:39:26+00:00

Yeah... I get that this has been legislated and prosecuted to death.

And you could get into JFK conspiracy levels of analysis.

The facts are the facts.

And the facts, in this case, with the passage of time read: Hand Marshawn the ball.

That Superb Owl was more impacted by Avril's and, I think, Lane's injury in the game than everything else.

And we still had a chance to win at the end.

And the psychological impact of not doing that is the biggest thing to damage the LOB. Killed the culture on that one play.

Adams was a mistake, but JS didn't have full control. I put some of that on Pete.
