Too many centrist neo liberals. Democrats and Republicans are pro corporation and billionaire, us working schmucks need to find a way to get a party working for us.

You’re forgetting the poor uneducated rural voters who will directly suffer by their own hands, yet again.

Can anyone remind me why we give the dumbest and least productive of us the most representation and govt handouts?

I think you misunderstood. I mean the repercussions for courts finding the execs guilty of his accusations is a slap on the wrist vs charges for murder.

Yup, what would the executives actually lose if they were found guilty in the court case? They’d need to find new jobs, but would give themselves fat severance packages.

Corporations suck ass, but this is nonsense.

At this point nearly any device with a screen can emulate SNES games and the consoles that came before it. I have a cheap Chinese retro game handheld from Ali Express and it’s honestly so refreshing to play games that aren’t begging me to spend extra money.

Also, playing fan translations of games that weren’t released in the west like mother 3 and dragon quest monsters is so cool. 10 year old me would be so jealous.

Haven’t been on one in years, but women would put “guys over x height only” in their dating app profiles. I saw it as an advertisement that those particular women were very insecure and should probably be avoided, but it was a significant number of them nonetheless.

This is the part a lot of US liberals are missing. Those red states are shit holes now. Look bombed out and war torn because industry left and took the money with them, and they were thriving 40 years ago.

A wiser human than me could probably find a way to incentivise companies moving headquarters out of high cost of living areas to more rural areas where rent isn’t half your paycheck.

I work in the fashion retail industry. We had cancelled half of fall holiday orders and increase MSRP on a bunch of other stuff. This is only the tip of the iceberg for issues that will compound.

This is about to make COVID shortages seem aspirational.

My experience is that there’s always a hidden surcharge with DD or Uber eats. Like fries are $3 if you call it in yourself, but are $3.30 or something in an app. A couple years ago I had a $10 off $40 coupon and dash pass from my credit card. Total after fees for pickup was like $55 and just calling it in myself was $45.

Not saying it’s impossible to save using them, but good luck.

Let’s clear it up though, it’s the guy who invented the cereal who was a nut. His brother was the one who was like “I’m gonna sell the flakes, not the dick snip bit.” They got into a huge battle when the quack doctor realized his brother was making more money selling the cereal than he was selling religious pseudoscience.
