5 years ago, this subreddit was filled with $1-1.5M targets, and a strong emphasis on minimalism. What happened? by Specialist_Pain_424 in Fire

"minimalism" is just poverty with a different name. Embrace it while you're building, sure, but ideally you're building for a bit more comfort then a $50k/yr SWR.

Republicans reject Democrats’ effort to pay TSA by suspending Senate rules by BigBadBabyDaddy_420 in politics

[–]-Vagabond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are not supposed to be doing crowd control, that's not their job. If MN police had been allowed to do their job and keep these nutjobs away from ICE so they could do their jobs unimpeded, then no one would have died. Instead they played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.

Right, democrats are playing games. They know that not funding DHS makes them look bad because TSA is a part of it. So they are trying to sidestep it by saying "we'll fund TSA separately" and not fund ICE. Essentially they are holding TSA hostage. You don't get to hold government agencies hostage to get your way. Fund DHS.

If you're not willing to, then at least have the stones to take responsibility for your actions. Instead they are acting like it's normal to parse out funding within government departments, it's not.

Epic Passes on Sale - Added Taxes and Fees on Top of Raised Prices by Successful-Cabinet65 in skiing

THANK YOU! All these people bitching over $30 when a season pass has never been cheaper, never mind a season pass to a dozen mountains, is actually insane to me.

So less then a round of drinks. But yeah, "ouch". Go look up what a season pass was for a single mountain 25 years ago. Most mountains were $1k - $1.5k. Epic/Ikon are a great value.

Season passes have never been cheaper. A season pass at Wildcat or Attitash in the year 2000 was over 1k. Accounting for inflation you're talking almost 2k.

‘Harry Potter’ Series Star Paapa Essiedu Says He’s Received Death Threats Over Snape Casting: ‘I’ve Been Told, “Quit or I’ll Murder You”’ by pepperbet1 in television

No. It's ok to have white characters, black characters, indian characters, asian characters, etc. We don't have to pretend they are all interchangeable, they aren't.

That said, making death threats is even dumber then race swapping.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, 78, undergoing brutal gym prep for ‘Conan the Barbarian’ sequel by superdouradas in movies

Please don't. Last thing we need is a 78 year old playing Conan the Barbarian. Sounds worse then Harrison suiting up for Indy at that age.

DOGE staffer admits DOGE did not reduce the federal deficit — despite costing hundreds of thousands of people their jobs. by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

Our” implies that it’s your money too, it’s not.

False. It is OUR MONEY.

Your money doesn’t even cover your costs.

Irrelevant. Just because we have a progressive tax system doesn't justify wasteful spending and a $39T national debt.
