    Who is “we.” And vending machines have been available since before your favorite video game depicted them. I had a vending machine for shotgun shells in my high school like 25 years ago. We did skeet shooting and if you needed a few more rounds you could go buy some ammo instead of having to go off campus for it. The whole thing is extremely mundane.

    e: The vending machine was actually an old cigarette vending machine heh.

    • Perhaps theres a difference between your shotgun shell vending machine in school (still fucked up; if the rounds were for extracurriculars why did they charge you for it?) can you tell I never played ball in school?) 25 years ago and the current world with its bi-monthly mass child sacrifices to Mammon. Different contexts. Now such a thing is definitely gaudy and flagrently disregards the countrys gun violence problem and how many people are dying so these gun industry fucks can get their jollies.

      Edit: you conveniently misconstrued a factoid from your youth to make my argument against out of control gun culture seem fallacious and I don’t love that.

      • Dude, every aspect of every extra curricular is charged to the student. Football costs parents hundreds. Schools don’t have the budget to pay their teachers, they aren’t doing shit for students that’s not legislated
