    They did a limited run of the game where the cards explain the joke so it was considered educational material, thus circumventing the tarrifs. Its pretty good, props on them for doing it.

    It is WELL worth it, even for people not normally a fan of it.

    There are cool backstories like “we ran out of ideas, but this made us pee ourselves laughing so we went that direction since it showed it would work” and for the pope card a description of who the pope is, ending with (paraphrased)“the current pope is some guy named Bob from Chicago”

    The game has gotten kind of old to me, but I wanna support them any way I can. Any other things they make that I could buy?

    same, but played the family version for my kids and it was so much fun.

    the youngest one needs to practice reading, and that game was a few hours of her reading and laughing as hard as she could

    I clicked over to their site on the worldwide web and they have a game called Contact. Seems like it's for nerds, so it'd be right up Lemmy's collective alley.

    Nah, stop being nice. TAKE it from them. If they won't pivot from a Trickle Down Economy to a Trickle Up Economy, then we should forcibly impose a Robin Hood Economy.

    Small, independent, Mom & Pop businesses are hands off, but for all those big corps? Rob'em blind.

    Not a corporation. They're not "incorporated" and are not publically traded (afaik).

    They're a private company who are still able to do these kinds of things because they're not beholden to stockholders.

    To me, companies like them aren't the problem. Corporations with stockholders are the problem.

    Public companies don't have to be evil, despite popular belief. It's a choice. Meanwhile, private equity is at least as consistently evil. Public/private is not in itself the problem. Greedy, sociopathic assholes are the problem.

    The original announcement was on their Facebook page, and links to https://www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com/

    Note that they didn't raise their own prices (they absorbed 100% of the tariffs on products they make), so if you bought directly from them or through their Amazon listing, you didn't overpay and don't need a refund. If you bought from a retailer like Wal-Mart or Target, they'll start by refunding people who have a receipt, and then if there is money left over they'll try to refund anyone else who thinks they overpaid.

    so they are actually giving back money they never charged anyone for? The money they are getting back is the money tarrif stole them no?

    That is what happens when companies are run by people who actually care about what they do and are not in it just for the money. The exact opposite of this happens when companies are run by ghoulish billionaire shareholders.

    This is such a reddit comment. If you don't enjoy it don't play it, but acting smugly superior to those that do just makes you look like an ass.

    We're not acting superior.

    This game is beyond stupid, is basically witless, and completely unfunny.

    Hello, I'm interested in playing a good game with my friends.

    Can you recommend some alternatives which you think are good?

    Yeah, I can't stand the game, this bailed it, but I've always appreciated their stances, because I agree with them of course. But like you, when someone says hey let's play cards against humanity, I say let's not. I can make jokes about people's races and cancer without the cards, don't need everyone cramping my style.

    Common Cards Against Humanity W.

    I believe they still donate all profits from anti choice states to the national network of abortion funds. There's a button on the checkout where you can ask not to have it donated and they basically say "we would respect your right to choose, but we don't have to because your state doesn't believe in letting people choose things for themselves." I think they may have even added an additional charge to the order if people asked not to have their proceeds donated.

    I deeply hate that this is the outlier exception to the rule of this dystopian nightmare of a country.

    It should be the bare minimum.

    I'm over here asking why the corporations get the money when they passed the cost to us. Everyone knows thats what happened and now we're just going to pretend that they should get the tariff refund and not us? They're also certainly not reducing prices to pre-tariff levels, so we get fucked with tariffs, fucked with high prices staying high, and corporations get paid to fuck us twice.

    Remember this is the same people who once increased their prices for Black Friday, as part of their bean brand.
