#stop corporate greed

[dinosaurwithablog]

I love these ideas!! I go to my library every week. They have any book that you want in every form that is available, and it's all free. You get great customer service and help keep good people employed. I always try to shop at small businesses because, once again, you get great customer service, and you help the business owners and their employees thrive. This is so much better than empowering a greedy, selfish billionaire who doesn't care about anyone but himself. I do everything that I can to avoid making money for those who use others to make money without giving them the proper compensation or even a thank you. Let's help out the smaller businesses and go straight to them or your library instead of giving your hard earned money to a man who doesn't give back to those who helped make him rich. Please, think about this as you do your holiday shopping and consider this all year long. Every time we buy from a small business, we are helping to get things going in the right direction again. Every little bit adds up. We have to take care of each other and stand up for what is right. Happy holidays to all!!!

How to Ditch Amazon

Support your local libraries and the small businesses that are actually making the products you want.  Fuck Jeff Bezos and the systemic, universal worker abuse, gaslighting, and brutality they live off of.

“Davis was under the impression his insurance company would pay out for any prosthetic, but sadly that was not the case.

The insurance company cited that because his palm was still functional, it didn’t think his fingers were 'medically necessary'.

Modern Adaptation: An Xmas Carol

Charles Dickens wrote the thing at a time when the greed of the ruling class needed to be shown - point blank.

We keep remaking the classic in the same perspective and with the same "nuance" as if the book was written to be subtle.

But it was a punch in the face to every rich business owner of the time.

You ever get tired of the same retelling of an Xmas Carol?

Me too. Yawwwwn. Who cares about some bitter old dude from the 1800s? Scrooge had nothing. Dude slept in a cold ass home with no security.

Now, as a Billionaire, I sleep in a home fit for the King of business I am! I've worked my whole life for what I've got. Ground up and I can afford everything I want.

Whoever said money can't buy happiness - never bought their own theme park.

I have some unfortunate news.

While it's not confirmed either way yet, it is likely that Season 2 will be Earthspark's final season.

Recent information has shown that he show has been, to put it quite frankly, a flop. By their own fault, Hasbro has only lost money from it. Earthspark was badly marketed, had mediocre toys accompanying it, and was hardly ever advertised-- not to mention the major review-bombing done by transphobes online after their discovery of its queer representation. All of this makes it highly unlikely that Hasbro will even attempt to continue the show after Season 2. (Edit: Check reblogs for clarification.)

I'll keep you updated on any further information.

All you guys doom posting about the 'death' of Dragon Age as if we haven't kept this fandom alive for a decade when da4 was constantly being threatened with cancellation, and the development cycle was so chaotic that we didn't even know if we would get a conclusion to the DAI story threads

You don't need new content to keep enjoying it. There are 4 games + dlcs + supplemental stuff to enjoy and play with. Like yes the enthusiasm of the last 3 or 4 months will wane but it already started to before yesterday's news. It's normal. It's been waxing and waning for all of us for years. I only got back into Dragon Age in about summer last year after taking a break from it for a year or so. I'll probably do the same thing again. So will you.

Also, it wasn't like they were going to release Veilguard and then immediately start working on DA5 anyway. It would've been a long wait and by that time the devs might've left anyway. It's really not the end of the world you're treating it as. They brought Mark Darrah on as a freelance consultant for lore on DATV and I daresay they'll do something similar with the others if/when da5 gets made.

tldr please dry your eyes. It's fine. It's not dead. We have a conclusion to the story that's been spread across 4 games. Be thankful we got that.

I really hope Harris takes a harder stance on the Palestine genocide and doesn't bend hand over ass to Netanyahu like Biden did because news flash **YOU CAN BE ANTI GENOCIDE AND AGAINST NETANYAHU'S POLICIES AND NOT BE ANTI-SEMITIC, ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE IS LYING!!!** So as long as Kamala doesn't tactilely support the genocide in Gaza and actually puts a diplomatic flame under Netanyahu's ass I'll be happy. What's going on in Gaza in nothing but an absolute tragedy and maybe we can actually get something done with Harris, I hope that she doesn't copy Biden's stance on the grave issue. I trust she'll make the right move and that we can have a better administration under her. Don't stop the steam and keep pushing cause we can't have another 4 years of that criminal tyrant trump, so vote blue and let's win this!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲💙💙🇺🇲💙

did shane madej effectively utilise his anti-capitalist swag when he helped found a company that he and many employees rely on for their livelihood?

I need the strike to end pay those bitches more and give them their deserved benefits. I want my nail polish :( it’s trapped at the boarder

[6ilent-9ufferer]

For the past few days, the song "where is the justice" from death note the musical has been on my mind.

Show me what’s right about the wrongs that we allow

Yeah, why are wrongs allowed? And when you try to do something right, others tell you that you're wrong. Societal norms, cultural differences, and personal biases are all contributors to this.

Real people need to feel protected here and now

This rings true today now more than ever. One of the most vulnerable people among us is the uneducated and easily manipulated. That's why they're so easy to be recruited by cults. They want to feel protected and secure... To matter, to feel like they're a part of something bigger. And when confronted with evidence of their leader doing wrong, they don't care. They are so disillusioned by false promises that they turn a blind eye. They can't think for themselves and that's why cult leaders "love" them; their flock eat up the lies from the palm of their hand like a domesticated animal. Cult mentality is like sheep: when their "shepherd" herds them, they obey. It's a shame how much America has been dummied down.

We probably wouldn't have as many sheeple as we do today if America funded schools as much as they do the military; we would have better education and better pay for our teachers who work so hard to educate with what material they're given or allowed to teach.

This whole damn system’s broken way beyond repair

It’s just law

Not law and order

Not much good and seldom fair

Yep. That's our system today. Peaceful protesting? Fact checking? Gasp! The horror. The 🍊 man-baby scared shitless of peace and truth forbids it. This is why we can't have nice things: anything and everything will offend him and people like him for no reason.

We truly live in a society.

Till a lawyer’s tricks can fix the blame

What about the victims

Waiting for some justice?

How can we turn away

And say that's just the way things are?

We should never turn away from justice. This is a problem prominent in America. Some lawyers should not be lawyering. Some jurors should not have jury duty. And some judges should not be judging.

[Light's Teacher]

The world's not black and white

The choice not either, or

[Light]

Perhaps it's time we drain the color from within

Till we're back to seeing black and white

And wrong and right again

Sure, the world isn't black and white. But how can we see wrong and right with so many shades of grey?

[Light's Teacher]

"Overwrought pronouncements won't improve the paradigm"

[Light]

"Till lawyers cutting deals becomes a crime"

Honestly, it should be. Go off Light. Slay king. Uh, wait... Not literally.

Let the corporations make the regulations

And all go unaccountable when everything goes wrong

The corporations always blame someone or something else. When are they going to be held accountable? Better yet, when is the rotten 🍊 going to?

Let the rich and famous get away with murder

Every time a high-priced mouth piece starts to talk

His client gets to walk

Tell me where is the justice?

If there’s any justice

It's sickening that this happens. And not just with murder.

Where is the justice?

What good is law that can’t punish those who break it?

Yeah, what good is it when the "rich and famous" can just use their money and influence to get out of punishment?

Isn’t everybody sick to death of all this stuff

Can’t we all stand up and say enough?

Exactly. I know I have.

These lines hit so hard. I wish this musical was playing somewhere near me so I can watch and listen to it in person.

[autisticlee]

does anyone else not understand why it's so hard for people to not be greedy, hateful, lying, untrustworthy, selfish, etc. and not understand why people willingly hurt, use, abuse, lie to, steal from, etc. other people to begin with? I genuinely don't understand why people choose to be cruel. why do people think it's ok to hurt others to get above them? I don't understand!
