Uh huh. Too bad you didn't pay attention to what I said.

I have family members you're soaking up in that generalization, and I'd wager LOTs of people reading this do, too.

You know what sucks? I don't like Elon, either. The idea of him getting hit with just-desserts is quite enticing. But I don't want to live in a world where he'd be deported by the US Gov't for standing up to the President.

I'd rather have the first amendment even if it means Elon's still here.

People around here also poo-poo'd cameras in phones because larger more expensive cameras exist.

And now our deficit is gone!

"My guy is as bad as as your guy!"

Heh. An admission badly-disguised as a flex.

Because I used the word 'odds'.

What you originally said was: "Why would I trust The Guardian or some random "advocacy group"?", not "why would I trust this specific report"?

Yes, it is.

Better odds of honesty than self-reporting.

Checked the news lately?

Why would anybody trust Google's number on that in the first place?

That's okay, my folks the next town over said it was unusually cold over the weekend.

Trump's tariff shenanigans put a bunch of construction costs in flux, stalled projects, and earned me a reduction in pay and furloughs. Gee golly gosh yes I didn't spend money on video games and a bunch of other shit this year.

If my employment ever levels out I'll look into getting a Switch 2, but if the price goes up due to more 'economic policies' I won't be getting that, either. Oh and it's not like there's an American Switch 2 I can move on to.

I have talked with Amazon about this.

I'm sorry, what exactly is the point of this nitpick? That there's some reason it's okay Amazon isn't getting shit to my house because a different person signs the driver's paycheck? Even if it was FedEx or UPS fucking it up (they find my place just fine....) I can't tell Amazon to use a different shipper, so I'd still drop Prime anyway.

And... yeah the branding does matter. Unlike Amazon I don't order shit from FedEx.
