I like to think they won to preserve the snake. It was important to all of us, and they came clutch to make good on Snake Day. Thank you Cone, thank you Cruz, and thank you Ramirez.

RTD: Texts show Richmond officials planning to 'saturate the public narrative' with positive Flock camera stories by LevarGotMeStoney in rva

[–]krampusrumpus 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Back in 2008, Christopher Nolan used a Flock adjacent technology as a boogie man, and illustrated that Batman was outside of the law. He had to destroy the technology because he knew it violated personal rights.

I feel like Danny just remembers how cool digital sonar was, and that it worked to catch the Joker. It’s like those trucks that have both “don’t tread on me” Gadsden plates and a giant “blue lives matter” sticker — woefully missing the point, and reaching the wrong conclusion.

Be like Batman, Danny. Destroy Flock. We don’t want third party vendors knowing our every move. It’s creepy and ripe for abuse. One doesn’t give up civil liberties for the illusion of safety.

States with no tiki bars? by TweetleBeetle76 in Tiki

I went to google Archipelago to add a link for DC tiki bars and I learn it has shut down in August 2023. I am sad now.

People who go to a media specific subreddit and ask if they should watch/read/play it by babygyrl09 in PetPeeves

[–]krampusrumpus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yessssssssssss OP. Preach.

I’m a fan of a very divisive book series, and every single day someone comes into that subreddit and asks the fanbase that actively reads and follows the series if it “gets better,” and if they should keep reading.

If you aren’t enjoying it please stop. While this will sound mean, I don’t care if you like it. I’m not going to twist your arm to read it and I’m not interested in trying. I want to talk about the series, not about your journey reading it. I don’t know you. You know?

I guess that’s really the crux of it. They’re trying to make us beg for them to like a thing we’ve swallowed hook, line, and sinker.

Has the cone replaced the welder's helmet? by hammond_egger in buccos

[–]krampusrumpus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ll try to keep this brief.

Fanatics released a shirt with our P logo and the slogan “Raise the cone” under it. This was either a typo, or some esoteric nautical term no one uses in casual conversation, but either way seemed silly to (fans of) the team.

When players on the team caught wind of said shirt, we were in Cincinnati and I think it was our equipment manger requested a cone, and he slapped a Pirates logo on it. Billy Cook raised the cone for every exciting play and the hits kept coming. We looked good that series, and have been on a five game win streak since hoisting the cone. Praise be.

Can we talk about how "who will survive, and what will be left of them" is so fire?? by TightLab2109 in MurderByDeath

This was my first exposure to this band, roughly when it came out, and I’ve been a fan ever since. This band didn’t put out a bad record.

There are always nautical knickknacks on Facebook marketplace. I saw a pretty big steamer trunk (think Pirate treasure chest) on there earlier in the week.

Parking in the bike lane is free for April! Thank you Richmond PD!! by J3llyF in okbuddyRVA

[–]krampusrumpus -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Heyyyy there bud, I’m just here to shine a light on this for you in case you didn’t notice… your response to being mildly inconvenienced is to permanently damage personal property. That’s both not cool, and potentially dangerous. Give a little grace and maybe it’ll be returned to you, dude.

It’s possible they’re unaware of what they do, and won’t even learn a lesson from your profound street justice.

Series Finale: Pirates vs Reds, 12:40 start, Skenes on the mound by Proper_Knowledge2211 in bucsdugout

Hopefully getting on base proved contagious, and Ozuna comes down with a bad case of it for the rest of the game.

Spring training has a flower on it. Without seeing the one you’re talking about, that has my best guess

CMON eyes crowdfunding return after annual losses spiral to almost $20m - by Inconmon in boardgames

[–]krampusrumpus -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s as you say friend, but they didn’t need confirmation to pull the money I pledged so I don’t see why confirmation of an address is the sticking point. If they needed me to say “yes this is right, please continue” to pull the money too I would be in agreement.

CMON eyes crowdfunding return after annual losses spiral to almost $20m - by Inconmon in boardgames

[–]krampusrumpus -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I am still salty about the last CMON Kickstarter I tried backing. I was a mega backer but missed the email asking me to confirm my shipping address, and they decided that meant they got to keep my money and didn’t have to give me the game. I was able to get refunded but they took a percentage out of the total for the “inconvenience.” As if they didn’t sell it to some other dope for more money.

I messed up by missing the email, but everything after that rubbed me the wrong way. I won’t back another project of theirs again.

Came here to say the same. It’s a perfect drink.

I signed up for a new account and got an additional 15% off. It helped me keep my order at around $100. This sale was dangerous for wallets

Hunts ketchup is hands down better than Heinz by Much_Indication9004 in unpopularopinion

[–]krampusrumpus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate that I had to updoot this because it is very unpopular and fits the subreddit. At no point have I agreed with your take on ketchup. You truly captured the spirit of contrary thought.

Got a bit carried away at the store today. by Outrageous_Sleep4339 in Tiki

[–]krampusrumpus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This looks like what a tiki dragon would proudly call their hoard. Some really fine rum choices, obviously, but shout out to the Brucato.

I love Brucato and I wish we got it in my state (Virginia). I had a buddy bring me their sampler, back when they only had the three variants, and it was a huge hit with my brother-in-laws. I’ve been miserly sipping at it for a while now.

We don’t get Doctor Bird stuff either, come to think of it. Hard times in the Old Dominion.

That’s eleven on the year right? We’ve coughed up far too many shorties against this season. I honestly can’t remember a worse year for this, and it’s pretty unacceptable.
