This was about sending a message: “stfu or suffer the consequences”. Hence, subsequent people who encounter similar will think twice about reporting anything.

I mean, gotta replenish that mana.

Don’t take any wooden buckazoids!

Last time someone offered me to hang out I must’ve been in college. Over 20 years ago.

Every so many years I fire up a King’s Quest or Space Quest.

Til Black Mesa is a real place.

“Study: cats indifferent to fairtrade origins of their food. Are cats secretly evil?”

I’d love to see EU numbers side by side for a fair comparison.

Logically, this would mean the dildo makers are also invited.

It isn’t even safe today, but people still do it.

Nah, most people saw right through that and turned tail.

Even at the basest level of society that we might fall back to, there will be a need for stores of great value in order to make larger trades. You can’t effectively trade large scale without it. Which might not be relevant right after a full system failure, but definitely afterwards.

All the legal power in the world won’t turn the mush that is his brain back into something serviceable.

Entropy will take you soon, and neither power nor money can do fuck all to stop it.

I actually recognize the streets in the window (I studied and worked in Mechelen for years).

So much FUD and complete misinformation here. Gold, first and foremost, is a store of value and a hedge against inflation. It’s a terrible investment. That said, if you bought 10k worth of gold 5 years ago, you would now have 20k. Which is obviously a higher return than most savings products or some actual investments.

It’s a hell of a lot safer than BTC and if society does collapse, it will absolutely retain its value.

I don’t feel important enough for that. Same reason I’m not religious. People claiming a personal relationship with the goddamn creator of the universe are hella conceited.

The 2A folks are overwhelmingly on the side of the oppressors…

I wish I could say we’ll be laughing when all of this fails and all those investments dry up like rain in the desert. But that will come with a cripplingly heavy toll for all regular people everywhere. When these DC’s are abandoned, so will they be. We’re already seeing the start of this from people living near these DC’s who no longer have safe access to water, a good night’s sleep or clean air…

Two jugs, 38kg and 50kg of coins! Holy shit, that’s thousands of them. So jelly. Nice that they were found by actual archeologists. Hopefully we’ll see the results in musea soon.

Simple. You’re vegetating on the couch, probably mindlessly doomscrolling, while fighting an inner battle that you usually lose. From the outside, people only see you on the couch. They don’t know about your internal struggle and how much energy it requires. They’ll simply conclude you’re lazy and unmotivated.
