  1. It's wild some of y'all actively want to live in a shittier world.
  2. I noted that the disadvantaged are not part of this, but I think you are underestimating the average Walmart customer. Or just extrapolating what you see to a bigger world. There’s plenty Wallys in affluent areas too. But I mean say Target if you want. Or Amazon or Temu in the modern world, it's all the same phenomenon. Shopping Malls back in the day etc etc...
  3. I don't disagree with what you wrote, but it has 100% been a two way street. Retail therapy, whatever you want to call it, a large segment of the American public spends money for a dopamine hit. Were they exploited? Sure. But they were also willing participants for the most part. Other than the disadvantaged, they could have opted out of the system if they wanted. I've set foot in a Walmart a grand total of twice in the past 20 years, and that was for immediate medical supplies. I've been boycotting Chinese made goods as much as humanly possible just as long. This has been a serious bugbear of mine for decades, 2016 has nothing to do with it. We as a people enabled this. I mean look around this forum, people gleefully shopped at Wally World, buy all sorts of disposable garbage that does nothing but make them feel good for a second, then get discarded. Just waste. Waste of resources, energy, you name it. It goes so far beyond simplistic shit like American factory jobs or whatever and gets the the very core of what sort of philosophy we have as a people. We should spend a lot more money on a lot less stuff, and that's really the long and sort of it. Stuff that is made by people with real skills. Your coffee maker, your car, your guitar, your clothes, your food, whatever, all of it. We are losing everything valuable and replacing it with stuff devoid of any value.
  4. It's both. My grandmother, who was all about the anti China rhetoric during the first Turnip go round, shops at Walmart like it's a fucking sport.
  5. I hybrid pick like half of the Rolling Stones catalog these days. Beast of Burden is so much easier.
  6. I mean they are on the way to Greenland, seems natural.
  7. Ah, that's where you missed it, you have to look for a STUPID reason. Because Trump is a fucking moron.
  8. I'm being 100% serious when I say I gave nuclear war a fairly substantial odds of happening when I saw the election result, I'm not being remotely hyperbolic when I say this.
  9. Maybe we will finally get healthcare.
  10. Seriously? You of all people people didn't see this coming? Seemed blatantly obvious to me.
  11. My take on the Trump economy

    We got Soul?

    Dude 25 miles is one of my all timers.
  13. Dude I seriously was googling the Dunlop Flow picks, not that I'm ever going to change the same purple Tortex I've been playing for 25 years, and the first hit I got was a Reddit post about a yellow Tortex cake. I'm like there's no way this happened to two people....
  14. In hilarious randomness today I think I stumbled on @Celery Man reddit account because of his preferred guitar pick.
  15. I mean, I would be for that study 100%
  16. Completely setting aside Trumpism, the whole Khan character arc has so many leopard components. From his ex Goldsmith to the current state of affairs.

    White boy soul done right
  18. Well first, most Trump supporters are going to need to learn English

  20. But the flip side is the Russians ain't got many Ramius left either.
  21. Well, I'm very unhappy with Dem leadership, so we're even.
  22. If Musk manages to get the CIA on his ass I will cackle.
