Shouldn't take more than a minute

We can be proud we've taken steps to preserve it instead of turning it into a fucking shopping mall.

Lol one of the characters in my D&D group is named Farthard (pronounced Far-thard) and his steed is named Shithead (pronounced Sha-theed)

Does it actually matter what the names of the stores are? From context, I know you know they're chain stores, as opposed to "mom and pops" regardless of location, and more or less what they sell.

Do you expect me to know what country you're from and tell you the stores near me are actually the stores near you?

I don't live near a Tesco, or a Tim Horton's, yet if I didn't know what those were and you put them in a post about places you're forced to buy food, as opposed to the small shops you wish you had, I could safely assume they were grocery stores.

Stop making "US Defaultism" an issue where it isn't. It is real, and this isn't it. I am a person describing my experiences and I happen to live in the United States. Why on earth would I write about how inconvenienced I am by a brick-and-mortar chain electronics store in Germany?

Full size,I'm thinking of the big, over-the-shoulder kind.

I wanna put a camcorder from the 80s on my roof

Thanks I'll check them out!

Idk what a local store is here. Everything is a chain.

Food? Publix or Winn-Dixie. Thats about it, save for the Asian market on the corner and a once a week farmers market that I never seem to be able to attend.

Meds? CVS or Walgreen's. We have a local pharmacy, insurance doesn't cover them.

Electronics? Best buy. There's no mom and pop computer store

Furniture / clothing / household items? Thrift stores maybe?

Big Box stores didn't just reduce mom and pops in my area, it killed them.

The only non-chain stores are for niche products like a smoke shop, the aforementioned Asian market, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

8 year old me: Just me? Holy shit, this is WAY too much responsibility and I've been doing an awful job.

Can we just start misgendering republicans?

Several companies sell computers that have Linux by default, System76's Pop_OS! being one example.

I get that its not a big brand like Dell or Lenovo (who I think sells some Linux laptops? Could be wrong), but they're out there and the distro is just gonna be dependent on the company selling the machines.

It's open source right? Can't a new maintainer just fork it and tell the Nazi to punch himself?
