So far I have no plans for anything, but I do want a hiking backpack.. I see no deals on any right now.
There's not much of anything that I really need or want.. I find the hysteria over consumerism crazy and pointless, but that's just me.

Nothing, I refuse to take part of such mass hysteria. People start acting like animals when it comes to a (little) discount. Look at how people behave, people get hurt during shopping...... How retarted is that?

BF is nonsense to me.. people camp outside a store in the cold weather just for a shot to save $100 on whatever the hell they are looking for. they get so hyped and nuts over the materialism that they stampede over others and kill them. happens every year. EVERY YEAR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiFnDTAt0IE |

Got a stand mixer ~2 weeks ago for wife (this was for Christmas, but the idea of withholding something useful until a specific date is dumb as Hell). I've been using it every day since (cutty-shreddy attachment is awesome for quick hashbrowns), and I think she's used it once. For her birthday, after being hassled, bought her a pasta maker to one which got lost in the move last year. Still in the box.  Oh, well. The real annoyance is in finding gifts for immediate family I see maybe once every two months. They ask me what I want, I'll say something like a new mail-box post, and they think I'm being a sarcastic snot, so I get a gift card (in the absolute worst of cases, someone gets me a gift card to Best Buy because "he likes computers"). I ask them what they want, they say "I don't need anything," and then I end up getting them a gift card, but because they're married and I only got one, the other one ends up crying because I don't "love" him/her enough to get two separate cards. "Okay, so each of you puts one equal-value thing in the shopping cart which adds up to the GC total and quit bothering me." Fucking hate the holidays. Dumbest expenditures on Earth, where everyone wants to spend an equal amount on each other and ends up getting everyone something they wouldn't have purchased for themselves, because if they wanted it, they'd already have the damned thing.  ETA: Wait, wait, wait -- not done, yet. Another thing I can't stand is how you can't purchase consumables (I've tried), like holiday gifts are supposed to be some immortal testament to your idiocy. I'd be made so much more happy by a $30 purchase of a small wheel of cheese and some hunters' sticks than a freakin' $100 gift card to some overpriced specialty store a couple towns over. But no - Christmas is "special." You eat food - that can't be special. Let's completely fucking ignore that food literally becomes a part of you. $90 HDMI cable from a jackass electronics outlet to tuck away behind a television - now that's "special." #FirstWorldProblems |

Fuck me. Mac crashed in the middle of a backup, and Bitcoin-QT has to reindex all the blocks, which is going to take at least the next 24 hours.
No access to my wallet.dat... Goddamnit...

When you have Bitcoin the world is a pound shop thanks to paper inflation, why take part in Black Friday at all?  |

lol We don't have black friday here (luckily) but I ordered some Lealana Bitcoins and Litecoins.  Sales period is for me the time I avoid most shops anyway, too crowded, shopping takes longer and you'll get it cheaper online anyway. Hilarious are the people shopping in the sales period and buy all kinds of useless stuff they will never use because it is cheap. |

Every day in the Internet is black friday. When I can have a pallet of Ramen shipped to my door, why should I leave my inner sanctum? I miss Bitcoin Fridays. |

Good for you? This thread is not for you so, shoe. One or two cases doesn't define an entire event or group of people. Someone on TV told you to feel bad about it, and you believed them. Anyway I got a really nice TV for half price. |

Anyway I got a really nice TV for half price. you don't need to watch tv to see how materialistic and stupid people are. i've been to a few, and that kind of greed (to save a few hundred dollars) is just pathetic. if i do buy anything on BF, it would be online only. |

i haven't been to one since 2003 (B&M). was totally not worth waiting outside in the cold just to save a few dollars. i went to office depot, which was not very busy, but the line still took an hour to get through. there were DVD burners out on the table, and one asian lady grabbed it from some guy. his response was "what the hell, lady?" the funny thing was that there were at least 20 or 30 burners on the table.. |
