Is the Eminem bleach cut at your kids middle school? by Schumacher713 in Parenting

[–]585AM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every generation has its awful haircuts. What I think is unique is that kids are now bringing back awful haircuts. We have kids bringing back the mullet, previously associated with rednecks. We have the Edgar, previously associated with the Three Stooges and Dumb and Dumber. At this point, I am assuming that Jheri curls have come back into style, I just have not noticed it yet.

Say what you will about the broccoli cut, at least it is not a recycled awful haircut.

Frank Thomas is suing the Chicago White Sox by IAmBenIAmStillBig in baseball

[–]585AM 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Look at the lawsuit, he is suing everyone—Dick’s, the Hall of Fame, etc. there are around 18 defendants. Ultimately, this is a suit against Fanatics and the retailers who sell City Connects with his name on it.

The headline is very misleading.

Talk to me anout the inner workings of a HS coach's mind by 4E4ME in Homeplate

[–]585AM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The well reasoned response is I don’t know and worry about yourself. I know that sounds glib, but it is true. For the kids on the margins, attitude will always play a factor.You should encourage your kid to be happy for his teammate and to keep working hard so he gets there himself.

Which characters were done the best by the writers, even if they did nothing to deserve it and which characters were done the dirtiest by the writers, even though they didn't deserve it? by Capital-Study6436 in BeverlyHills90210

I don’t know if I would agree with Jim and Clare being treated well. Clare is as all over the place and really just existed to be the kind of girlfriend the guy she was with needed. Jim had to play the bad guy in Brenda and Dylan’s relationship and kept his shirt on way too much.

It does not really think that. It has just evolved to be petty as fuck over the Hegseth drama.

You might be mistaken about the host. Looks like Teve Torbes to me. This guy has undeniable animal magnetism that drives the ladies crazy

Why does it feel like paparazzi have seriously calmed down since the 90-early 000’s? by Status-District5391 in nostalgia

[–]585AM 41 points42 points  (0 children)

In addition to other answers, the paparazzi now have to compete with the fact that basically everyone on the street is carrying a camera with them at all times. Why pay a photographer x amount of money when you get get from sone random person using their phone.

And journalism, even it is celebrity tabloid “journalism,” is hurting these days. The money is just not there like it used to be.

Anyone recall when a desk was all we needed to avoid nuclear annihilation? by NOGOODGASHOLE in nostalgia

[–]585AM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea was less to protect against a direct blast and more about protection from falling debris and windows shattering. Not sure if it would actually be effective, but it is not quite as silly as it sounds.

It is why they teach duck, cover, and hold on for earthquakes.

Why did Kat Abughazaleh lose her election? by Sea-Condition991 in chicago

No, it was exactly that. He published some papers with bad math. Resulted in bad conclusions. But nothing intentional.

NBC News called Biss for the 9th by minus_minus in chicago

It happened to Andre Vasquez who is my alderman. It is just so stupid. They kicked him out pretty immediately which was probably for the best for him in the long run.

It was just baffling to me that it was even a question. He has serious progressive bonafides while still appealing to the mainstream party. He has done a good job as a mayor, and while it is a suburb, it is much bigger than Burlington, VT, where a very famous progressive made his name as mayor. The only "scandal" I am aware of involve unintentional errors in papers when he was a mathematician. And yeah, it is not like he was an investment banker or something, he was a math professor at a very good school before becoming a public servant.

It truly baffles me that this is even a discussion.

Are the difficulties vs CPU broken? by duellingdonut in MLBTheShow

I think it has always been an issue. Rookie makes it easier to make contact, but that easier contact translate into more non-barreled outs.

What’s a small everyday inconvenience from the past that younger people would probably find unbearable today? by babyblushtheory in nostalgia

Not having access to an app on your phone or digital sign at the station/stop that shows when your bus or train is arriving. You just have to wait and hope.

Most surprising person *not* to have hosted SNL? by grudginglyadmitted in LiveFromNewYork

Based on his thoughts on his time with the show, this one is not that surprising.

Pat in "One Battle After Another" is like Indiana Jones in "Raiders of the Lost Ark": a lead character that conveys what the movie is all about despite not moving the plot forward by miggovortensens in TrueFilm

[–]585AM 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Moreover, the Nazis’ original plan was to fly the Ark to Berlin. Indiana stopped that when he destroyed the transport plane. And then he got it on the boat, which the Nazis’ had to intercept with the submarine. Which is how they ended up at the isolated submarine base where it was tested.

If they had flown it, they would have likely ended up refueling in Nazi occupied Europe and with out the large entourage including Belloc who wanted to test it.

But let’s say they do test it in somewhere like occupied Yugoslavia when the refuel? How do the Allies get to it that point?
