I am participating, but it's less of an active choice and more happenstance/happy accident (my scheduled plans didn't really include shopping). No hard feelings towards anyone who needs to spend to survive today, though.

Respectfully, Judge, you've stated multiple times that you didn't want to see politics in your feed. Ignoring politics is how we ended up with a private citizen firing 600 Tinker employees, so this is a consequence of willful ignorance. You can't have it both ways.

I put my faith in Zelenskyy too, which is why I support him declining any Trump offers. When negotiating with a bad faith actor, you cannot allow much wiggle room (I speak from professional experience). Trump's citizen life has long proven he is not one to honor most deals.

You say this as a joke, but I had a coworker say this exact thing yesterday. Said coworker doesn't believe it's a serious threat. The denial factor is very real in these southern red states.

I think there may be one (of the whole 8 followers I have, lol) on mine.

Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance released in North America on this day in 2002, so the better half and I will play a few rounds tonight on the OG Xbox in tribute.

Live long and prosper!

8-Bit will always have my heart as an Old, but my favorite gaming days were in the 16-Bit era.
