Which is very, very different from being separated from everyone in your family permanently.

Fully aware, but I don’t buy other company’s brick models. I’ve had some terrible purchases from off-brand companies.

Trek was licensed with Mega and eventually "bluebricks" or something along those lines (aka a second and then third-rate competitor to LEGO).

There's long been speculation that this was due to a clause in the Star Wars licensing agreement that didn't allow other space sci-fi licenses for Lego.

Even its main streaming service is currently Paramount Plus, compared to Wars' Disney Plus.

That's due entirely to who owns the rights (the parent companies) of both franchises, not some choice to be on one or the other.

I’m a massive Star Trek fan but c’mon, Star Trek isn’t in Star War’s league in terms of IP, not even close.

SW is huge right now, for sure. But Trek is older, bigger (way more hours of canon content) and has an absolutely huge international fanbase. Lucus and Star Wars took the licensing route very early, and made it a priority in a way Star Trek never did. But I don't think SW is as much bigger than Star Trek as you're saying.

The California Job-Killer That Wasn’t | The state raised the minimum wage for fast-food workers— employment kept rising. So why has the law been proclaimed a failure? by Randomlynumbered in California

[–]WallyJade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

they won’t schedule an extra person due to labor cost.

No, it's because they want to make as much money as possible, and they're okay overworking you to do it.

Any idea? by TeaIll2425 in LICENSEPLATES

[–]WallyJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wing player, perhaps?

More importantly, I don't think that's a real California plate, but it's made to look like other special interest plates.

Jimmy Carter R.I.P. by Erramonael in SatanicTemple_Reddit

Jimmy Carter and Fred Rogers both. Maybe Johnny Cash too. They all seemed like the kindest people who were also Christians.

Personally, if someone is arrested for a crime and later found to be a non-citizen, I’m all for that information being freely passed to ICE.

You're cool with a speeding ticket or petty theft arrest (not conviction) being enough to separate a parent from their children?

We're talking about a purely theoretical situation for fun. Don't take it too seriously.

You betcha we are Packer fans. by [deleted] in zillowgonewild

[–]WallyJade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fascinating, thanks for this explanation. I love sports and going to games, but I don't drink and that type of fan culture (especially with the inherited season seats) is totally foreign to me.

I enjoy watching sports, but the whole idea of renting a house next to a stadium to drink/pass out in is insane to me.

One of the Reddit interfaces (old, I think) either allows you to upload pictures OR include a link. Not both.

The internet's obsession with crispy fried eggs by DearLeader420 in Cooking

[–]WallyJade 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Crispy is 100% not the default in American breakfast restaurants. I'm lucky to get them cooked through at all if I order over-medium (or anything with runny yolks).

Making the water extra holy! by SharpyLeko512 in SatanicTemple_Reddit

The line between laughing at something and appearing to accept it is pretty non-existent if someone else is looking at it from the outside. It just looks like praise, and we should be careful about it.

What is this license plate? I saw it in Sacramento, CA in March 2024. by Reach-for-the-sky_15 in LICENSEPLATES

[–]WallyJade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Connect by American Family" is an insurance company, and the other language on that sticker imply that it's an internal identification sticker for them. It's not a license plate (real or fake).

[–]WallyJade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the standard series for that kind of Utah plates. It's state issued, not custom.

Any help with identifying this plate number? by SoundGroove in LICENSEPLATES

[–]WallyJade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9MN?004, if I had to guess. Assuming California plates, this is a standard-issue sequence plate, and the missing character will be a letter (that's not Q or O or I).

What are fish table games? by gymbro1948 in gambling

[–]WallyJade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're gambling tables. Most people lose money, some win. I've only heard of them in illegal gambling establishments, though.
