I think even UK common law has something to say about that, some kind of Magna Carta? We regressed right back to pre-constitutional monarchy, do not pass go.

Dude literally pointed to his friends who made a killing on it, and posted "buy" info on his socials before reversing.

If we had any kind of system of laws, that'd be jail time.

I believe it uses a combo of bing and google with anonymizers, yes. I've just started poking around there due to waterfox mobile using it by default.

Fingers crossed, right?

That's a good suggestion, and I will look

I feel that. I'm currently using a laptop from like 2017 (with a 1050) and honestly... if it dies, I'm pretty well hosed.

See, that's real prep, not buying 2,000 cans of beans and 20k in ammo :D

I can't afford to get any real last-minute stuff, unfortunately. What I did do was stock up on rice and the spices that I largely use, and got some new shoes from walmart earlier than I normally would.

I put off the things I had been saving for (like a vero v), canceled everything but my basic phone service, and I'll be seeing how much stuff I can get by with repairing/cobbling.

What's sad is that the billionaires who control the only grocery options for 90 miles will be getting a LOT more of my income, and the small businesses (music stores, thrift stores, things like that) will be getting left. Thereby amplifying the wealth extraction already happening.

F this, and f everyone who voted for it.

Mirrors my experience. Nice article.

TBF, Target largely brought this on themselves before the DEI stuff. They're more expensive here than a proper dept store, and everything is locked in plastic and takes forever to get.

Can't boycott what I already wasn't using.

Nice. I got a post error after mine, so I'm going to have to do it again
