Not reading a novel. No. What you said was clear. It just wasn't important.

Why are you, individually, trying to intimidate the police?

An armed community does that.

Your argument is pedantic. It's like saying that you shouldn't run to be healthier because if you trip and fall you'll get hurt which could make you bedridden leading to poor health.

I get what you're saying, what you're saying isn't adding value

If you're worried about a group of people coming up to murder you. I'm probably less worried about the police response to the fact that I own a weapon.

"Lie down and just get killed, because if you don't you might get killed"

Once you back people into the corner. You won't be going to jail.

Hell yeah! Fresh new stick drift. Stoked!

For real. The Steam Deck and hall effect joysticks make the switch kind of pointless

Screw everyone else. That desk is sick.

It looks like it folds up to a little cabinet which I adore

Why?

The Bethesda that made good games is dead and gone. It's just several shareholders and Tom in a trench coat wearing its skin like a poncho hoping you won't notice the smell.

People are going to buy it. It's going to have "Mixed" reviews and support will be dropped by 2026. It's going to be a broken, buggy mess on release, break modding and be an overall weak experience.

Why buy it? It's gonna suck.

Possibly unpopular opinion: You shouldn't be allowed to refund Bethesda games. You should just be told that any reasonable person would know better than to buy a post Fallout 4 Bethesda game within a year of launch and you should not be covered under any refund policy.

Ah. So I have to hope I'm getting the good product and not the bad product while paying the same inflated price!

Fun. I love RNG in my clothes

Ah. I only ever bought from their website. I didn't know they sold them in stores.

I used to like Carhartt. But it's yet another rug pull

They made good stuff for a while. Then got bought out and now make dog shit.

Bought two Carhartt jeans. Both had the same rip in the crotch after a year of use. Just work pants. Sitting in an office.

You want good jeans? Roundhouse jeans. Made somewhere in America. I love em. Expensive but I'd rather pay 70 now then 59 every year.

Shirts? Eh. I have a few Carhartt and those are fine so far. But there's a reason why old Carhartt clothes still go for a good chunk of change.

I've been trying to buy more made in America stuff. Local jobs and all that. Carhartt used to advertise that everything was made in the USA but stopped when they moved their manufacturing to China. They didn't advertise that they're now made cheap and probably just a white label on something but hey. It's your money.

Buy local when you can. And fuck Duluth. I figured I'd get that in there while I could.

Do you think they would willingly allow that to happen?

I view it from the opposite. Parents know best what their kids would want. Let the parents buy stuff for their kids.

However, this is a great excuse to pick up a craft or hobby that you enjoy and make something for the special people in your life.

I enjoy woodworking, so what I end up doing is getting some small bits of nice hardwoods. Oak, maple, what have you. I buy through the year and I'll make something like a cute notebook using two pieces of wood and some metal rings. Each one costs me only a few dollars. I spend some time in the workshop and you give someone something that's unique.

The point is, home made gifts will always be more special than random doodads and widgets.

I made a friend last year who makes cheese. You know what I'm getting for Christmas? A fat wheel of smoked cheese and I gotta say, I'll take that over whatever can be found on a store shelf.

If you're also a millennial, I think we all grew up with the mindset of "home made gifts are from poor people". But today I think it's the complete opposite. Anyone can hop on Temu, Amazon, Wish or any other sweatshop marketplace and get literally endless amount of plastic trash. But not everyone can make jar cakes or home made marshmallows, a nice loaf of fresh bread or even a jar of home made mead.

Find something you like and spread some good cheer. That's what it's all about. While my little wooden notebooks may go unused. A small thoughtful chochky that adorns a shelf still holds a lot of nice memories of Christmas last. While my future cheese won't make it to the new year (it's very good cheese) I'll never forget the best cheese I ever had... especially when I'm making orders for more!

Ah yes. The individual needs to feel guilty about their climate affects.

One billionaire who signed off on this piece of AI slop will have a greater affect on the climate in 90 minutes than I could ever try to achieve in my entire life.

Go to hell.
