    That's basically what the article was saying, that millenials dont get into it and dont want to participate. the headline is just clickbait, no one wants to ban it (at least banning wasnt mentioned in the first couple of paragraphs, I didnt read the whole thing)

    Also I usually dont agree with millenial stereotypes but man, the one in the article about millenials being the anxious generation. If that isnt the truth. I dont know anyone in that age group who doesnt have anxiety

    dont bother me. I could careless how many bodies pile up .. economies shouldnt be driven by madness tho.
    I dont even have a reason to shop.. And nobody acts like the crazy in Home Depot anyways where everything is a weapon..

    I think people underestimate how important Black Friday is to retail. I don't participate in it either but I recall when I worked in retail, looking at some of the projections before and after Black Friday and having my mind kind of blown how much of an impact it makes.

    Yeah, but profit margins are lower on black Friday, and if it didn't exist, people would just spread out their spending over a longer period of time.

    I highly doubt that, I don't think there would be a need for the day in the first place if that were accurate.

    cant remember a time in my life that myself or anyone in my family went out on black friday. I generally just shop when I need something.

    Society including store owners can do without. It has become a significant day in retail but if ones business depend on it, it was already about to go down in the first place.

    Fucking media is goofy.. this man walked away from a half-way house. They make like he escaped a supermax. They come and go when they want some these places. Probably dont have much time to walk off if they sent him there, and not like hes all that dangerous..
    But hes an extensive criminal history. ok two burglaries and he just walked away from a halfway house. Release the hounds, get to the chopper, put out and APB, hide your kids, hide your wife.. look this guy .. come on .. hes going to kill someone better catch him.. jesus fucking christ!

    I don't think that's any society I live in. The fact online companies have lifted the concept for Cyber Monday should be telling on what kind of boost retail can do to capitalize on holiday shopping.

    Found out that a very... average player... won the comp.

    So I shouldn't feel too bad about losing to someone I shouldn't have, we all lost to 'em. :tearsofjoy:

    On the other hand, if I would have made that shot I might be posting as the winner. :confused2:

    But you know what really gets to me? and I said it before I played here. He broke the table in the first frame and didn't sink anything, open table for me and I did not correctly aim my shot like I normally would have, and what pisses me off is I damn well knew it while I was processing the shot.... and I missed... and that pretty set the tone for the match.

    Why do I keep doing that? What do I have to do, to get myself to go oi dickhead, you didn't aim that, get up and do it again. ??

    Green Day was pretty good live 15+ years ago. A fun show.

    I've seen Weezer live as well, IIrc I moshed to Island in the Sun. I was doing hipster irony before it was a thing.

    Unless invited, I wouldn't go see Green Day now but I saw Bad Religion probably well into their 40's and they were still pretty damn good.

    I've seen NOFX and Rancid recently (within the last couple of years), and both put on great shows.

    I mean, NOFX didn't really play that well, but it wasn't any worse than usual lol.
