@playstation.com it’s consumer hostile to end chat and send decisions from no-reply email, leaving me with no recourse on a refund request for a poor game. if it was a disc, I could return to store. I’m screwed with a digital game. if I dispute, you’ll suspend my account. this should be illegal.

all i can really say at this point about FC Dallas, is we knew what we were in for this season.

so this is all supposed to bolster US economy, but orange man’s bilionaire buddies won’t pay livable wages to workers here, so americans don’t want those jobs and they go to the illegal immigrants who they are now deporting, and their answer is to expand child labor. do i have that right?

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

"So Trump will impose these tariffs and sit back and wait for other world leaders to petition the king with their offerings that will ultimately expand his own power, all the while we are the collateral damage. We all get thrown under the bus; 350 million people suffer so that one man can benefit."
Petitioning the King
Trump believes crashing the economy is worth it if he can extract what he needs from the rest of the world.

take your ties on the road, but leaving farrington out until stoppage time wasting sub, and leaving in chu that long when he’s consistently killing the attack is brain worm decision making.

I call on every business to list the pre-tariff selling price of their product, and the increase in price due to tariffs (call it "the Trump tax") to reach the final sales price. Consumers need to know why they're paying what they're paying.

$30 well spent at calloways. i like to look at their expensive arrangements then just go find similar flowers to make it myself for fraction of the cost.

i don’t know at what point in time it won’t blow my mind that i used to be able to leave for work about now and it would be the normal 25 min but now it’s consistently at least 40 min.

seems we’re in for another season of missing out on the rain. don’t want the hail but somehow we just never even manage to get a single drop from the sky…

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

USMNT has precious few opportunities to figure this out before we go out in group stage at the same stadium as the host country of the world cup.

goodbye freshwater aquarium, 2020-2025. wen through a few iterations, had some challenges, but really enjoyed it. something new this way comes!
March 23, 2025 at 11:13 PM
after weeks of consideration and research and chatting with @omenq.net about it, i’m going to swap out the freshwater aquarium i’ve had for 5 years and start a saltwater one. plan is a 47G all-in-one. going to take my time, 6-12 months to get it up to par. (pun intended?)
