It's complicated. I believe every region has a regional chain or two, often with silly names like Safeway and Giant Eagle and Piggly-Wiggly, but then there are chains with a spotty presence across the country like Aldi (yes, the same Aldi that's in the UK) and Trader Joe's (owned by the other...

Do they even compete with each other, presently? I thought they only owned regional chains that have almost no overlap. So I can't imagine what merging would actually do.

Saw a YouTube ad for that Epic Mickey remake. I'm amazed that it's getting a remake after this long, because that was a game that desperately needed a port to literally any platform with a second stick at their earliest convenience. Even the WiiU.

Which is why none of it should be the domain of for-profit companies anymore, at all.

You heard about the Panera Bread lemonade fiasco, right?

Donald Duck has 100% chowed down on Christmas turkey before. Also, Once Upon a Studio had some quality animation considering Disney no longer hires cinema-quality animators full time and couldn't even be bothered to do any 2D animation for that Rescue Rangers abomination.

Yeah, I mean they'll sue some grandma in Peoria for thousands of dollars for downloading their songs off Grokster one time, but not a dude with deep-ass pockets who illegally used their music to promote a fascist agenda? Makes me wonder if they really care, or if they're only interested in the...

Honestly, getting on the ballot as a protest vote only in states that are going to go solid red or blue anyway is a decent idea, and one I wish more people had the money and chutzpah to do. Provides a way for people to express their discontent with the two-party system without the risk of...

He learned the wrong lesson from reading If I Did It.

To my recollection, most of them have. I mean, all the big-name cryptocurrencies are still in operation, and most of them are even still going up in value last I checked. Considering the entire concept of crypto (and investing in general, but that's another rant) is a giant pyramid scheme, "got...

Also, good luck finding a pro-Palestine speaker who won't devolve into a rant about how Israel shouldn't exist and Hamas are brave freedom fighters who have done nothing wrong. I mean, I'm sure you can, but it's one of those areas where you can never be sure who to trust until you know you can't.

Elon will probably pull out of Europe voluntarily rather than face being kicked out. He probably thinks his European users are all communists anyway.

Dang. I wanted to see them get obliterated in court. Now I just want to see them get obliterated.

It'd be interesting to find out if anyone in the field of polymer chemistry has figured out which ABS formulations are prone to yellowing and which aren't. We've all seen the photo of the Super Nintendo that's gone two-tone because it was made of two different formulations; I myself have a...

Yeah, someone should set up some kind of wiki for what shows and movies are on what services. It's just a matter of making sure it stays up to date.

So the question we should probably all be asking is, what will Harris do if she's the clear winner in enough swing states to take the election but enough of them throw it to Trump instead? And when I say "do", I mean in January when it's her job to preside over the Senate session that will...

They doubled down on the "deplorables" thing, why are you surprised they're doubling down on "weird"?

Well, that's the funny thing. This is the first time I've heard of a company claiming that an arbitration clause prohibits a court from even hearing a case. Every other time I've heard about one, it's worded something like "If you do sue us outside of a small claims court, we'll permanently ban...

Yeah, it's easy to talk about how delusional the youth must be to want to give up on our whole political system and stage a communist revolution, but then I see news like that and I'm like... maybe we should give it a go after all? What do we really have to lose?

I mean, if Trump wins, there will be a huge uptick in people trying to start a revolution, no doubt. Especially once he gets rolling on his plans. And given the choice between fascism and even the worst thing that can come from a leftist revolution, I'd be hard pressed to not root for them. But...
