Am I the only one that hasn’t seen any great Black Friday deals so far? You would think because of the recession and the holidays coming up stores would have bigger discounts and promotions but there’s not much. It just seems like their usual discounts.

Black Fridays were not as high traffic in the last couple of years because of online shopping. Most malls in the Southwest are outdoor now like a bunch of joined strip malls.

They’ll still let you pack into stores to buy presents but won’t let you spend the holiday with your relatives

Why is everyone telling me to upgrade to silicon? It feels bouncier, it feels bigger, it uses new innovation. I'm happy with the shape and size of my Macbook Air from 2015. Black Friday or not, I don't see why people have a consumerism fetish.

Sometimes I like my own comment to get the ball rolling

Have not shopped for Christmas presents in twenty years and everyone happy. Total waste of money see ya on your birthday. If Dec 25 your birthday have a nice B-day.

Covid-19 got pros and cons. Lots of pros to mother nature and cons to people. The latter is still debatable. But I personally believe that Covid-19 is truly a blessing in disguise

Alien 1: should we give them amazing technology to travel the galaxy and the true meaning of life? Are they ready?

Alien 2: well they’re not trampling each other for TVs on sale anymore.. but they are trampling each other for toilet paper now instead.

Dude some of the video footage isn’t even from America.

[brieb]

On the bright side, no one will die or get sent to the hospital b/c they got trampled by lunatic shoppers trying to grab a TV they don't even need.

Black Friday If it goes away hopefully I will not miss this at all .

I'm in New Zealand and black friday is carrying on as usual. Most people tend to self consciously keep apart anyway even if we're in Level 1
