Live in House 3, I guess, although I don't care for any of them.

Nuke House 1, by far. Stupid grunge crap.

"Hi. I'm Wayne Gretzky, and this is my MasterClass."

lol
I get these ads on Facebook daily. So dumb.

Like watching a painting masterclass with Michaelangelo. Or a basketball basics class with MJ.

I signed up for MC because the culinary ones are basically just stand-and-stir/chop-and-talk cooking shows. There's some utility to them. I'm unsure that I can get any useful photography tips from Annie Liebovitz.

Target says it’s done with trading cards — at least for the time being — after a dispute outside one of its Milwaukee-area stores escalated into violence and multiple arrests.

A spokesman for the retail giant said in a statement that it will stop selling MLB, NFL, NBA and Pokémon cards in stores on Friday “out of an abundance of caution,” but that they’ll still be available online.

Can't believe there are two people in the world that still collect trading cards.

Saw that. People's heads would explode if they saw some of the prices that certain Pokemon and sports cards are going for...

As someone who spent 5 1/2 years supporting Yu-Gi-Oh!, I would to take a brief moment to express my deep umbrage with meow's comment.

As someone who just played D&D Wednesday night and actually bought some Pokemon cards at the comic book store, I stand with meow. Tif is having some bad takes lately, not real sure what's happening over there.

So one incident resulted in them stopping the sale of trading cards, but numerous Black Friday scuffles never stopped them from those sales. This seems like a convenient way of getting out of a segment of their business that before the pandemic was most likely losing money.

It's been more than this one. Both of my locals stopped putting them on the shelves sometime last month, and all the way back at Christmas they were already telling me they weren't planning on receiving new orders (the little sports characters make great stocking stuffers).
Same reason they've stopped having PS%s and Xbox's in store.

More than likely theft prevention or damaged product with people tearing open packs to search for particular cards.

The article mentioned people fighting over the cards as collecting has increased since the pandemic began.

Pack feelers...
25+ years ago I worked at a place that also sold cards and the owner (according to his assistant) would weigh the packs to find the heavier valuable cards, open the pack and then replace it with a lesser card and sell it as new. What a dirtbag.
