They handling logistics for all the other super heros. All the mundane shipping, messaging hundreds of vendors, working with local government to handle events they do this all from their computer. Trello is their secret weapon. Know one knows their true identity, but no one knows their super hero identity either. They never leave the house. Their sidekick is just an ordinary cat.
Thanks. I'm not particularly angry about my mistakes. I had some bad ones for sure but I turned out pretty well considering. Though I've been recluse for a long time, and I diffently got a few problems to fix. This at least can help.
Oh dang. Suppose I won't see one crawling around young st anytime soon but still growing up in a tiny farm town in southern ON I only, very rarely, saw a gardener. I assumed that's we had.
If you're not into vinesauce he's an older variety streamer from the pre twitch days. Lot of his stuff is finding obscure and terrible games. Halflife amd its mods being a favorite of his.
This video is him explaining what it is, from an outsiders perspective. He goes through a some of the garbage explotive stuff that's comming from it but also has his friend AgentRedJackel interview some fans of it via vrChat.
I found it was a good summary of everything you need to know without actually getting into it.
We can have these without the commercialism can't we? Homemade decorations and costumes have more value and the act of making them with your family provides the time to talk about what these traditions are about.
I wouldn't be shocked at protest over Walmart not selling 20foot glitter crusted crucifixes or whatever. But I think most know the difference between defiance of religious values and non-compliance. I'm for up north though so there's a little less zeal.
Also shooting up a Walmart probably ain't the best move. Folks there are likley armed to the teeth and itching to shoot back.
I'd call that the shock period. But imagine that would be temporary and less bad then we think.
Eventually I'd hope for less stores that only open for the holiday season and only hire for the rush. Things could just spread out more and we'd all be less dependent in revenue created from one event. We could focus our buying power on useful things and less cheap plastic crap bought to appease old rituals.
All very optimistic and unrealistic thoughts though
I saw a video on this recently. I think it was Wendover.
Though card counting is still possible many casinos have made it very difficult. Most methods require the counter knowing what is left in the deck.
Two methods are just using 3-5 decks and reshuffling the deck after eatch hand. This apprently stops all but the most insanely talented card counters. Some go further using a machine to shuffle the deck in a way players can't see.
Though it also mentions some players think this cheating for the house so it might not be done at every casino
It pretty subjective I don't know much about Thanksgiving as a Canadian we have we have a differnt one then the US. I never understood what ours was even about other then turkey. So if it's religious then I honestly had no clue.
As many others have pointed out. If we strip all meaning of these events and just make the entirely commercial then it doesn't much matter if they where intended as religious events or not.
With that in mind I wonder if separating the events from capitalism might actually empower them...
Also the complete lack of context to why I'd ask the question. I could be a writer, this could be some nefarious data scheme, or im just dumb and curious. Doesn't really matter.
Really I'd just been watching somthing like Defunctland and hearing about cool ideas that failed because they where not profitable enough.
I wondered what if that happened to religion. What might that look like. How many people whould it take to stop giving a crap about Christmas for companies to just be like "yhea lets just not do that anymore". And without Christmas would the rate of those engaged in Christianity just fall slowly? Whould that be all it takes?
Probably not. But figured I'll get some alternative perspective.
I mean that's possible but whould they even need to? If one company had a "Christmas sale" and other had a "boxing week blowout" will folks even care, or will they just go to what place has the better deals?
As a Canadian that crap isn't allowed in my house.you can get the real stuff fir only a few bucks a jug down at any farmers market.
Syrup come from maple trees not tables ya goofs.
