I used to love playing MtG. I don’t really anymore, and I won’t give another dime to that shit company. Fuck WotC and fuck Hasbro.

Came here looking for Little Bobby Tables with the link loaded up in my clipboard!
I took off my glasses and it was worse!
Again, I agree, but also disagree.
I agree that using a budget can help people make their money work better for them.
The issue is that people can’t budget their way out of not having enough money to cover basic living expenses. No amount of sitting around and trying to allocate money you don’t have to cover expenses you have to pay will make that money magically appear.
And yes, people under constraints can and do do hard things every day. But it doesn’t always work out like it did for your parents. Investing limited resources into moving is a big risk that isn’t guaranteed to pay off.
I’m not saying you don’t have good points. You do. I don’t know if you mean it this way, but your comments make it seem like you’re taking difficult, multifaceted problems and reducing them down to, “Just make a budget and if that doesn’t work, just move.”
That oversimplification is just as unhelpful as the suggestions like “steal” that you’re criticizing.
I mostly agree with you, but I think it’s naive to suggest people under financial hardship can just up and move. Moving is a huge burden in both time and money. It also doesn’t consider finding new job(s), uprooting a family, and that while moving to a cheaper area lowers cost, it generally also lowers wages.
It’s also naive to suggest everyone has $50-$100 a week they can spend on food. There are lots of people who don’t have $50-$100 a month to spend on food.
The people who are suffering most under these economic conditions are the people who have the least ability to take themselves or their money elsewhere.
Edit: grammar
It is. I used to sync mine via nextcloud, but I don’t run nextcloud on my homelab anymore, so I switched to Joplin server. Nothing wrong with nextcloud, was just not what I needed.
Joplin also supports end to end encryption on your notes, and you can self host the sync server for free sync you control.
Edit to add: you can also sync it via self hosted WebDAV (like nextcloud)
What an awesome idea. I’m here for it!
I still have all my cards and still play with friends, but the Pinkerton move was the last straw for me. I haven’t, and won’t ever again give WotC money.
