You’re right, 🤦CFPB was going to get rid of them (or cap them) under Biden, but Trump nixed it.

I mean memes can be a form of propaganda/there’s a venn diagram there, but considering there isn’t much subtlety in this one and some others— and I’d like to think I’m not in the mindset to take anything of this caliber from the right as any form of truth— “meme” is a considerably more apt descriptor.

True, I used the word loosely/lazily; I’ll eat my downvotes.

It may be hypocritical and inconsistent of me, but left-wing propaganda is the only time I can think of off-hand where I’m pretty OK with AI usage (or is this just a really good Photoshop)?

At least it’s not overdraft fees.

I mean yes they’re trying to bring those back, but like… for now anyways.

I’ll never forget one day when my sister’s bank logged her charges first, then her paycheck all on the same day.

It took one phone call from her to say “uh, can’t you just reverse the two and take away those $300 in overdraft fees,” and they obliged!

…and that’s probably why that lovely bank is out of business/got bought by Chase.

Yeah what’s the metric for success in protesting a cause so embedded in the roots?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah but if be gets overcharged it goes into sleep mode.

Well, better to be recalled instead of buying something off brand and replacing it every three months like I did with other batteries and cords before I caught on to those shifty Amazon scammy retailers.

…I mean yes it’d be great if nothing was recalled at all, but uhhhh, I ain’t gonna hold this one against them.

“Bloodless if the left allows it.”

That's the one.

Aside from that I sort by release date and check back every now and then.

I just now noticed they had a toggle for 'Released,' so I don't have to see a bunch of TBD games. I'm just gonna start doing what you're doing and keep an eye on the list once in a while. Thank you for the tip!

I wish they’d expand on it and have a filter for player count in co-op. I have a game group of five and finding co-op, 5 player games is hard/most of them cap at 4.

The ones that don’t cap at 4 and aren’t requiring high dexterity (i.e. fps) are base building survival games all the way down— which are fine for the most part, don’t get me wrong, I just wish we could find something with the production quality and premise of Outlast Trials.

So far we’ve done: Conan Exiles, The Forest (1 & 2), Astroneer, Core Keeper, Return to Moria, Green Hell (may have been before we were at 4), Demonic, Deep Rock (with a 5 player mod), and a little REPO (which was good, but no progression system yet). I wanted to try Barotrauma but the puppet movement’s a bit janky for me.

I know there’s a third party search engine I can use, but it’s sooo full of junk it’s hard to find anything worthwhile.

Looking forward to The Big Walk, and am keeping an eye on Dune when it comes to consoles.
