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

Don’t take any wooden buckazoids!

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

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.

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.

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.

If there’s an uprising against clankers, you’ll find me at the front lines.

Exceptions for billionaires and industry titans, but none for you.

“Shut up and pass the butter”.

Ghouls.

My favorite ones from childhood were the ones on crystals and money. I managed to find them in a yard sale a few years ago.
