Alas, I worry I do.

Recently started shopping at a small/local chain grocer. Their produce prices are comparable to Safeway and the other large chain grocery stores in my area, but their sales are much worse and are generally only on much lower quality products.

I’m doing this out of the probably misplaced notion that its helping to support smaller business and thus keeping the profits more localized. But I worry that I’m just fooling myself with it all.

Def don’t let any aspirants of my habits shame you for taking care of your own budget first.

Uh, it was trying to make me pay?

Was totally on board till I hit the pay wall.

Yeah fam, “fam” is hella lit.

Naw fam, gotta get that GPS in braille form

Wow. Just wow.

Part of me wants to be like “Nick Fuentes isn’t representative of the cultural zeitgeist” (I - a het white guy - have heard the name but know nothing about the guy)…but wow. I believe the technical term is that thats “pretty fucked up”.

I’m not sure what “Your Body, My Choice” is supposed to mean.

Trying to read this in as good of faith as possible (so as to better understand what they think they’re saying), it seems like they’re saying “I see your body is unattractive and wouldnt try to get with you anyway”, but thats obviously not something you’d say to another person? Unless, like the woman was coming on to the man? I guess?

Am i totally missing the mark on the intent / would there be another meaning for this to actually be said to another person?

Yeah, I get that much, but I’m not sure what the implication of the original comment is.

Like, are they implying Biden should call a hit on Trump? Should he just not cede the presidency? These are things the typical Lemmy user (as I’ve seen at least) would RAGE against under any other circumstances, so I’m inclined to assume thats not the case. But if not that, then what?

Interesting.

I do find myself missing the subtle points of comments, esp in the more lefty areas of the fediverse. I hope I’m not breaking any rules when I ask. I am genuinely interested.

I tend to prefer monk class for DND and other TTRPGs, but no, I’ve never gone by that user name.

I don’t follow what you’re implying with this. Can you explain what you mean?

I think its great to be reading the amount of “in hindsight, screwing over Bernie Sanders over the last decade was probably a mistake” (mostly seeing this in the centrist/slightly liberal circles I inhabit)

I have to second this one.

Most of the people I hang with tend towards 3rd party. All of them proudly touted their votes for the democratic candidate in this/the last election, but each was also very clear they were only voting that way as a way to vote against Trump.

They all hate Biden and Harris.

Awesome project; super easy to set up the streams in VLC for anyone curious about that.

Probably in the same holiday season as Elder Scrolls VI

Naw, I just kidnapped a bunch of people and left some dirty old blankets laying around /s

Now there is a $10k cap which includes your state taxes paid

I figured there was something I was missing and I think thats it.

Fwiw, I really appreciate the long-ish form response. I feel most others were content to downvote and move on, but I feel I’ve learned something that I wasn’t otherwise motivated to go learn on my own.

How is that punishing to city dwellers?

I get that it rewards non-city dwellers more than people who live in cities, but is that really the same thing?

I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.
