fellas what words are you carving into the shells of your bullets??

actual lol stop making him sound cooler and cooler by the minute!!

This just happened during Black Friday and I'm still processing it. My sister and her husband Michael went to Walmart for their Black Friday sale. According to them it was absolute chaos - hundreds of people everywhere, barely any workers, total mess.

Michael managed to grab one of the doorbuster deals - a huge 65" TV that was marked down from $899 to $399. Apparently the checkout lines were so insane (staffed by one underpaid employee) that people just started walking out. Like literally just pushing their carts through without paying because there weren't enough workers at registers and the underpaid security guard obviously wasn't getting paid enough to care.

And my sister and Michael joined them. They walked out with a $400 TV because "everyone else was doing it" and "the store's owners should have been better prepared."

The part that really bothers me is they were bragging about it at family dinner yesterday. Right in front of their kids (8 & 10) AND my kids (7 & 12). They were laughing about their "amazing deal" like it was some funny story about outsmarting the system and they are right!

I pulled my sister aside and told her this was basically stealing and sets a horrible example for the kids, who may get fired in the future for not risking their lives to stop the theft of a commodity. She got defensive saying that she recently finally sat down & read some of the theory I'd sent her over the years and that she realized big stores expect this kind of loss during sales and that it's not really stealing because the store "couldn't handle their own sale properly and Joe Biden has done nothing for the working class the past 4 years."

Michael jumped in saying I need to read more Marxist theory on class struggle & how it relates to crimes such as theft and that I'm probably just jealous I didn't get any "deals." I'm honestly disgusted by the whole thing. Later my kids were asking me if it's okay to not pay for stuff when stores are really busy, which just proves my point about what message this sends.

My sister hasn't talked to me since I called her out, and my parents are saying I should apologize for "making drama" and that it's "none of my business" but someone needs to say something, right?

Am I seriously overreacting here? Everyone's acting like this is just normal Black Friday behavior and I feel like I'm going crazy....

the title could be funnier but it popped into my head earlier today when someone sent me an recent article about this study where they reversed a patient's T1 diabetes by taking her fat cells, chemically inducing them into stem cells, and then generating islet cells from those stem cells which were then implanted back into the patient - restoring their body's insulin production (at the cost of having to take immunosuppresants because, you know, the diabetes causing their immune system to attack & destroy their islet cells but still - this specific patient was already on immunosuppresants due to kidney transplants so I'm sure they're happy!!)

president xi please send a regiment of Chengdu J-10 and Shenyang J-35 jets to liberate my diabetic ass from this hellscape owned by Eli Lilly & Novo Nordisk i beg you!!!

there's a child voting right now....based???

I recently moved into a new place & have somehow managed to finally admit to myself that if I hang the 3 framed Frank Ocean posters, a framed Bernie Sanders print (arguably shouldn't since its the 'We All Deserve a Future' one from 2016 and he clearly does not think anyone in Gaza deserves one...), the damn Chapo Pizzagate poster they did back in 2017, and a fucking framed Dream of the Fisherman's Wife ukiyo-e (it was a CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY SISTER) on my wall - the next person I invite over to hang out and/or have sex with me is going to leave with the impression that I am your average /r/malelivingspace poster or worse.

And yes, for what it is worth, I do have an equal/greater number of actual pictures taken of me, my friends, and family that are already hung up but I'm not getting a 18x24 canvas of my siblings and I at an amusement park when an 8x10 of the same photo is already arguably too big. So yeah, looking mainly for larger wall-art/posters/etc but it doesn't have to be. It can be as small as a 5x7, provided it is actually worth getting printed/framed.

Public domain/stuff I wouldn't be stealing out of the pockets of a living artist if I printed it myself is preferred - but if you have a suggestion that is actually being sold by someone, feel free to suggest it I'm not adverse to spending money on wall decorations/art.

See comment below for some examples of the kind of public domain/etc stuff I've found and put into the Maybe pile thus far.

Thanks for your service.

Don't you feel like a witness in distress from time to time? Is that just the way the roses fade? Do you want to find out?

not even in my top 3 Phoenix songs but its a banger

so many other good covers of this song (Crash Test Dummies, Joan Jett, etc) but the slide whistle in this one takes it above The Replacements' original version dear god lol

No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing...Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin.

I coveted that wind, I suppose.

no other incarnation of Ganondorf has ever been this cool. Wind Waker my beloved...
