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 shareholders.

when the Trump Administration gives us our tariff refund

Who is expecting this to actually ever happen?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 16 hours ago

EVERYBODY! They WILL give the money back, and we're going to FORCE them. The only reason they get away with this shit is because we allow it. We have the power, we have to exercise it.

Well, I dont know how big a corporation/entity/whatever CAH is, but thats usually who makes out best

[–] Infrapink@thebrainbin.org 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, I thought this was Cards Against Humanity.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The cards might be against humanity, but that doesn't necessarily mean the company is.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

The company against the cards against humanity. Got it!

Thank you for linking cause the FAQ is even better than the post.

I may have gotten tired of the game but I never get tired of this company

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 221 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This company never disappoints

And flavor.

[–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 157 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 82 points 1 day ago

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”

You can keep the money. I want my country back. I want the Epstein Trials, the rule of law and consequences for all administration officials, law enforcement and ICE agents.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 16 hours ago

Keep demanding it, we'll get there.

We can make this the norm by boycotting greedy corporations

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] enphurgen@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

We should absolutely be finding ways to destroy their bottom line. Not just boycotts, but causing actual trouble.

Who says we cant go into a store and move all their shit around so they have to spend days restocking shelves and wasting man hours?

Groceries are high too, maybe moving perishables out of refridgeration so they rot?

Or perhaps releasing crickets roaches or live mice into stores?

Any other ideas?

[–] pkjqpg1h@lemmy.zip 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know anything about this game or company but this is the most based announcement I've ever seen

They are incredibly based. Game is pretty fun too.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 83 points 1 day ago (15 children)

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?

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 58 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh, hell yeah. Thank you for this idea. I've been wanting a fun way to teach my son to read. Thank you.

This brings a smile to my face

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 73 points 1 day ago

If you want to support them any way you can just simply buy their shit regardless. You can gift it to people.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

They have many fine products on their all products page.

No sarcasm, the best kind of advertising.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well son of a bitch. A cooperation doing something morally correct.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] friedmag@lemmy.ml 4 points 18 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

I love playing Cards Against Humanity but the image was still fucking hilarious 😂 gotta be able to laugh at oneself

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I thought it was funny, geeez

First of all, ow.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] Eryn6844@piefed.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 day ago

the corporations we need.
