The gears of justice move slowly (or some similar line of dismissive bullshit)

That’s the key difference here

This really does seem like the endgame for all collectibles–to eventually get capitalized to the point that outsiders come in and start speculating/buying out new releases/limited editions solely to flip for profit.

In plenty of cases I’ve seen, they never even have the product in their hands–they’ll just transfer the order to the highest bidder. I guess it’s the nature of collectibles and limited-edition stuff, but it just takes away the fun for a lot of the people who enjoy the hobby/collectibles/etc… it’s kinda deflating when you can’t even get the item without paying a premium to some rando that has no interest in it first (instead of just paying the vendor/manufacturer directly at their list price).

Or be “victimized” by Russian right-wing propaganda?

I’m buying as much TrumpCoin™ as my bank will allow me to transfer right now

Good stuff! I enjoy Banzai Run as well, my buddy and I always get a few rounds on that one at our local pinball haunt. That vertical playfield is super cool!

Never got to clock much time on Indy or Dredd, love AFM though. That’s a game i would consider for my collection someday–that one or Medieval Madness, both are just awesome games. I collect mostly late-70’s/early 80’s solid state games, though i have a particular soft spot for the classic Bally’s and Sterns from that era…

Well, of course we could – the fact we haven’t is why it’s come to this. 🫠

While i think it sounds risky, it’s awesome news for anyone that can’t afford proper healthcare. I’m also thinking that given 5-10 years we may see this evolve into something a lot more viable.

"I mean, I’m just^askingquestions^🥴

Lmk if y’all need any extra, I’m seethin’ over here

Woot woot! Congrats on that achievement, fellow pinball person! I scrolled this thread just to see if anyone mentioned ye olde silverball and I am not disappointed!

Own any pins? Top 3 favorite games?

Thanks!

Can you elaborate?

Who hatin’ on MBFC? MF got 12 downvotes, LOL

Some people got genuine beef with a bot 🤖🖕

Edit: it tickles me to no end that there’s this silent cabal of haters that can’t stand this bot for giving it’s rating on the reliability of the articles source

But didn’t you see their new signs? If anything assures me that they’re normal, it’s gotta be this:

Driving a manual in traffic sucks, even worse when you start getting a cramp in your clutch foot while in said traffic. I loved driving manual but i don’t miss it when i remember those days

Similar complaint here. We were ready to replace our 2011 outback and decided it would make sense to get something at least a bit more modern. Loved our outback, and honestly would have bought another if it weren’t for that damn screen.

After getting a gander at that thing, we seemingly confused (or probably just disappointed) our salesman by insisting we wanted the most simple, stripped-down style console they had to offer. Apparently we’re not the most common customers, but i know I’m kinda weird so fair enough. After he went back inside to find out which models they had on the lot that might fit that description, the only one that had a “simple” console was the base model Forester. It was just not enough to transition over from our comfy 6-cyl beast that just had a 6-cd changer with a 1-inch-tall screen and an aux jack, but everything was operated by buttons. Even the rear view mirror had a clever backup camera integrated into it. Makes more sense that way, imo. It was everything we needed and only a smidge more.

I really wish we could have just bought a newer model of the exact same car feature-wise… That outback was a great car 🙂

They probably won’t vote for Harris, but they won’t vote for Trump either.

This is actually possible. There’s a “don’t tread on me” type that has been using their yard as a political billboard for years and i just recently noticed that while they’re still anti- our current Democrat governer, they took down their pro-Trump stuff as well. Now there’s some sign about Jill Stein that’s up but seems a lot less flamboyant.

Exactly, i thought of this as a tapping of the holstered guns they’re openly wearing

Right?! When i think of a place where i can do anything i want, i think of Amsterdam, Ibiza, and Moscow lol

Yep, absolutely right. Kinda crazy but it’s for good reasons, though i don’t think trump should be allowed to run again for other reasons than simply the felonies… but that’s another discussion
