I hear that, and in parallel, mostly essentials only, minimum amount of purchasing for months now. Not paying a dime into their precious “economy” if I don’t have to.
See, that’s where they got me: I would’ve liked to do the same as you, but instead I bought a bunch of stuff I would’ve normally waited until later to get, in anticipation that the fuckwad’s idiot tariffs would jack up the price if I waited.
Yes, but the vast majority of Europeans are not rural – and unlike Americans, they aren’t suburban, either.
I’ve been buying a bunch of camping/backpacking gear recently, including a couple of water filters and a bunch of freeze-dried meals I found on clearance at Costco (assorted 10-pack box for $10, or $1/meal!). I tell myself it really mostly is for camping (especially since my kids are getting into cub scouting), but I’d be lying if I said the possibility of bugging out wasn’t also at the back of my mind.
I also built myself a new computer recently, and went for small-form-factor instead of a normal tower case just in case I need to move on short notice/with limited ability to bring belongings. I’ve also been simultaneously waffling between trying to fix a bunch of stuff on my house so that it’s in good saleable condition and hesitating to spend money on stuff that can’t be easily moved. It’s a weird feeling.
My initial impression of Moonstone Island is that it’s kind of like a cross between Stardew Valley and Pokemon. Does that sound about right?
To be fair, not considering unicode support a priority is a pretty damn English-language-centric attitude.
It is this or bloody revolution and that would lead to the US being invaded by multiple other countries and shit getting worse and worse.
No other nations are going to be invading the US, let alone multiple of them. They don’t have the logistics for it.
That’s the sort of stuff that should’ve made the city refuse to issue a certificate of occupancy. Where was the building department inspector in all this‽

There is no such thing. If you think Gates, Buffet, or Cuban is on your side, you’ve fallen for the propaganda.
Well, they sent me a letter a few years back saying the loan had been forgiven since I’d owner-occupied the home for a decade, so now the only other entity that might claim to own it is the creditor for my regular first mortgage. And the state (in the sense that my title is ‘fee simple’ and not ‘allodial’ so I’m still subject to things like taxes and eminent domain), I guess.
Yes, I also read it as the attack on Gaza being the thing described as incompatible with Jewish values. I almost downvoted the guy’s comment before I realized he misread it.
The only danger is if one of them pulls an RFK and drops lastinute to endorse the other.
100% chance, IMO.
I’m disappointed that Pornhub is apparently capitulating instead of blocking access entirely in protest, like they’ve done in other jurisdictions.
I mean, sure, that’s very funny, but please don’t help feed the right-wing lie falsely equating democratic socialism with communism.
Apparently, Atlanta is doing it.[1]
I’m an Atlantan and this is the first I’m hearing of it. Neat!
Reading the article, though, it’s really just that the city is subsidizing a private business (and in one of the two cases, acting as its landlord) in order to create an incentive to open in a food desert, not actually getting into the business of operating a grocery store directly itself.
I mean, I got a loan from Invest Atlanta to help with the down payment on my house, but that doesn’t mean the city owns my house or that it’s some kind of ‘government housing.’
My fiance is a K cup.
Eww, how can you stand to be with someone that consumerist and wasteful? You should dump her for a French press. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
EVs were a political issue long before Tesla was a thing. It goes all the way back to the GM EV1 and “Who Killed the Electric Car”.
This move was stupid and will probably serve no one.
Every terrorist attack not prevented by the brain-drained FBI etc. will be used as an excuse for Trump to tighten the screws of totalitarianism.
Somewhere in there there’s a step “come up with the most sociopathic business plan possible.”
