    The Disney Thread: For Everything Concerning the House of Mouse

    I’ve been enjoying The Acolyte. Ep 5 fight scenes were well worth whatever came before it. What’s frustrating is I have to keep reminding my nephew to watch the shows and form your own opinion before latching on to these shitty online “reviews”. He wasn’t going to watch it because of them until...

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    Similar thing happened to me. When I finally got a tow truck, the tow company told me it’s a lot easier if you just call a tow company directly and see if they work with your insurance. They said they usually have a hard time with the directions or address they get from insurance, and rarely get...

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    If there are any rural communities near you, it might not hurt to see if any shelters there would take in potential barn cats. A lot of farmers like feral cats around to take care of mice. You’d probably have to catch her and bring her to them though.

    ADHD Impulse Spending & Credit Card Debt

    It might be better to talk to your bank about getting a personal loan to pay off the card. You’ll get a much better interest rate, and can set a term so you know you’ll have it paid off in 2 or 3 years, or whatever works for you.

    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    My daughter had to watch a movie for a college class, and looking at the list we thought we’d watch it together and picked American History X. Me and my wife have seen it before, but my daughter hadn’t. God damn. 25 years later and it could easily have taken place today. It’s definitely a tough...

    Pen & Paper Role Playing Games

    It looks like it’s trying to make every encounter feel super epic and remove any chance at having a character die unless the player wants it to. Which is fine if that’s what you’re looking for. I don’t know if it would be my cup of tea, but I’ll be watching it. The best quote I heard on it was...

    Good news? https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/03/08/minnesota-free-school-meals-push-driving-big-jump-in-breakfasts It amazes me that some people are still against programs like this, even when the benefits are so obvious.

    Israel Thread

    The Palestinians in Gaza elected Hamas in the last election 17 years ago. There hasn't been an election since then. That means anyone 35 or younger hasn’t been able to have any say in whether they want them in charge or not. 70% of the population in Gaza is that age or younger. Saying they...

    Israel Thread

    And let’s not forget that Israel was allowing cash payments to Hamas, and wanted them to stay in power, in hopes that something like this would happen so they could justify leveling Gaza and killing everyone there...

    Israel Thread

    The last election in Gaza was in 2006, that was almost 18 years ago. Before the conflict, the median age in Gaza was 18 years old. 70% of the population was under the age of 30. I would say that very few of the people in Gaza had any say in having Hamas in charge of their government.

    [TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

    It gets questioned more later on I think, but it’s a valid criticism. It definitely took a few episodes to really get me attached to the series.

    [TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

    Not sure how far you are, but that was my first impression of it too. I think it was towards the end of the first season where it didnt feel like a rip off of Major League anymore. It uses that same starting premise, but goes somewhere much different.

    What are you listening to II: Electric Bogaloo

    I enjoyed it, and I don't think he meant that highly educated people are better. I think he's just pushing these people to use what they've learned to build empathy, and not fall in to the trap of having a degree makes you and your time more important. I could be wrong, I've never read any of...
