I made a couple 'Tarriff pause' purchases but am going into financial lockdown now for the foreseeable future. What about you guys? Planning to tighten your purse strings? (slrpnk.net)

I expect that others are in the same boat and that we’ll see a downturn in consumer purchasing very soon.

These posts are always wild to read as someone already in poverty mode. Are the rest of you out there, like, spending your money? That feels wrong.

things are going to get more expensive so the impulse to stock up at current prices seems reasonable. Ofc if you don’t have the money you don’t have the money though.

Nah, but I'm buying an inexpensive house with some land. After that we'll have to see

You can't eat guns.

But you can raid your neighbors shelter with guns. You can also hunt others. Guns present all sorts of novel opportunities in the wasteland.

Buddy I hope we don't live close.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Let's team up to hunt the most dangerous game. I totally will not double–cross and murder you. Pinkie swear.

[-] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

I expect you to double-cross me, that's half the fun!
