I know they typically don’t bite, and that their bites aren’t dangerous.

Fair warning, they may not be "dangerous", but from the tarantula breeders I've talked to, some can "pack a whallop" which to me means painful as all fuck.

Fair warning, they have the same problem as rats... They live just long enough for you to get really attached to them. Lifespans are about 1 year for males, and up to 3 for females.

But, if you like them, you can always get a tarantula, which can live much longer.

Both of those are meh-tier options. You want seedless blackberry or orange marmalade.

Email not in all caps. Clearly fake.

Yeah, they self inflicted a ton of COVID deaths to avoid breaking their kayfabe. Clearly they learned nothing.

It's a two part answer.

One, gamers have less money to spend, along with everyone else.

Two, expensive AAA title games these days tend to be shit, from a graphics, code, community, and content standpoint. If you want good games, cheaper is usually better.

Last AAA title game I bought was Borderlands 3, and I don't see myself buying anymore in the next two years or so.

My general rule of thumb, if there isn't a significant risk to life, limb, or senses in the next 24 hrs, I'm not going to the ER.

I don't go to a GP ever. They stole my blood and piss, and then told me to come back in 6 months and did it again. The headache of setting up the appointments, rescheduling work, travel, and copays means it just isn't worth it.

Finally, if I have an injury, and it's still affecting my daily life 3 days later, then I go to urgent care, and sometimes that even feels like a waste of money. Cost 180 bucks for me to get a pinched nerve in my shoulder diagnosed (couldn't sleep for 3 days) and they prescribed me maximum strength acetaminophen and some steroids which blew my heart rate up to unsafe levels so I stopped taking them. Pain finally went away about 4 days later on its own.

The problem is, red states and blue states are a myth. It's red country and blue city.

If you need an atomic clock to know how many millions of dollars you have, then you're rich. The rest of us aren't even worth fixing a rounding error for them.

This feels like a joke.

Like, just name all the shit that is wrong with the US and flip it joke.

Comparison, my wife wasn't feeling well and insisted on going to the Dr. The closest appointment was over a week away, and the Dr. told her to go to the ER instead. Took a 25 minute drive to the nearest ER in the city, got her vitals in a few minutes and then waited hours to see a Dr who basically gave her 2 cups of coffee and some Tylenol and then had us go home. We won't get the bill for months, but it's usually in the 800 dollar range, and that is with insurance.

I'm in the US if that wasn't obvious.

Duh, if they ate pork then the ICE agents running the camps would be in extreme danger.

Two things you should look into...

Paradox of Tolerance.

Social contract.

The people not just advocating for, but actively trying to be personally in charge of putting huge portions of the population into death camps are not worthy of tolerance. We cannot allow them to exist unchallenged. Life has been too easy for them, and we have been too abiding of their views and hateful rhetoric, which has empowered and emboldened them into this state of being. They will cry for your tolerance, but not give second thought to callously harming millions of people just for clout. You gotta draw a line somewhere.
