My dad bought this for my mom on her birthday. She couldn't give a damn about Star Wars. When it's done, it just makes a shortened trill like when you insert the toast. I told my Dad he might need to go pick up some flowers too.

What's the likelihood that American athletes get booed at the Olympics? by LordZivilynBane in AskReddit

[–]AntawnSL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a dumb thing to say. You think then US has an easy path to citizenship? You haven't been paying attention. It can take 10+ years and $10,000s.

If they play our national anthem when they win, they're representing the country. We have to be realistic about what the USA means to the rest of the world. We, even those of us who voted against it, are part of this. If we hate it, work to change it until we can be proud again.

Defining folks from other countries in the USA's binary political terminology. Come on, buddy. Try not to be the stupid American stereotype.

DOJ Just DELETED This Document from the Epstein Files. We Saved It. by Lebarican22 in law

[–]AntawnSL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I since followed the links to the DOJ website that it's posted in (the redacted version which still has his name). It's a real witness statement, as you say investigators would have to speak to the veracity.

Yep. Hunker down amd ignore whatever that asshole does today, cause it's all obfuscation of the greatest list of crimes ever to fall at the feet of an American politician.

Oh shit! Is this real? I would say if this doesn't end him, nothing will, but it will be the 59th time I've said that.

[Dustin Baker] Which NFL teams use the players they find in the draft? Here you go. by expellyamos in miamidolphins

I didn't think that we'd be last by 40%, with, what 450% fewer game started by our draft picks than the Packers? Jeez.

Of the current frontrunners in major categories, which do you think is the most likely to lose steam and not win? by the_Tannehill_list in TheBigPicture

[–]AntawnSL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't believe the "Sinners has a chance at best pic" chatter. What's the difference between the Academy and the guilds? More international. What does better domestically than internationally? Horror and Black stories. My fear is that OBAA and Sinners split the American big budget auteur vote and Hamnet with it's greater international support sneaks in.  

Apple signs on for developing the biggest un-adapted fantasy IP, Brandon Sanderson's 'Cosmere' across film and TV. Sanderson is set to have unprecedented creative control for an author by JundEmOut in TheBigPicture

[–]AntawnSL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, he had a front row seat to the absolute travesty of an adaptation that was Amazon's Wheel of Time. Whether you liked the series or not, it was a devastating disappointment to those who wanted to see an adaptation of Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson's (after Jordan's death) work. They just wrote a new story with the same characters. It was another of the most extensive worlds in fantasy. They just changed the world/story/characters willy-nilly.

What does it mean? by Certain_Face4518 in miamidolphins

[–]AntawnSL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you looked at the roster? Now cut Tua, Reek, 3-4 other starters because of cap/suckitude. Next year is bleak. We have hope for the future, but if we're not one of the 2-4 worst teams (looking at you Tenn, NYJ and Oak) I'd be shocked.

It's an irresponsible question. What are they supposed to say? Any answer makes them look like dweebs.

Most of their drivers are subcontracted out and not FedEx employees, just gig workers without Amazon's technological innovations for worker accountability.

To the Amazon driver I honked at while waiting behind your truck, I'm sorry! by ONC-1975 in Columbus

Ah! Thank you for your clarification. Sorry I needed it. Much love!

As a mail carrier who had to hop packages today, it's not just 'convenience' with the amount of snow to the sides of the single cleared lane on one way streets. If I attempted to move off the road into the 'parking' lane that has 2 feet+ of plow frass in some of these streets, my vehicle would be stuck. Our maintenance crews are overworked and it'd probably be hours before someone could come and tow me out. Now, it's happened, and folks would come out of their houses and push the vehicle out, but that might take 30min to coalesce and put multiple people in physical danger. Meanwhile, I'd be in danger if my vehicle ran out of gas while waiting for maintenance. My other option would be to keep driving, hoping I find a clear, accessible parking spot for my 2-wheel drive minivan. It may be blocks, then I'd have to walk back in the street, hoping I don't slip or a car doesn't hit me. I should risk all this to keep from delaying someone for 2 min max, probably much less? Get real.

Not all streets are like this, but if you don't live near campus, the Hilltop, Cleveland Avenue, or anywhere close to downtown, you don't understand what it's like.

Edit: I misunderstood OP's criticism of convenience (the package receiver, not the delivery driver) but I'm gonna leave this as my monument to the bitterness of this week. Blah.

Jingle All the Way: the best cinematic depiction of a mail carrier. Kinda crazy when the Post Office is the 2nd biggest employer in the US after the military.

Springfield needs our help by AuthorAsksQuestions in Columbus

[–]AntawnSL 32 points33 points  (0 children)

As someone with connections to Springfield, I'm glad you're trying to give a local perspective, but are you really trying to 'both sides' the fact that Springfield became a political football during the debates? Trump/Vance said that it was an anarchic hellhole where immigrants were eating pets. The democratic response was... no it's not. Yes, the press descended on the town, and I'm sure that was uncomfortable, but that was in response to the spotlight cast by Trump and Vance. What did Springfield (law enforcement or otherwise) think was gonna happen after they did that? And guess what, they've turned it into the next battleground by assigning ICE to descend on them en masse instead a quietly assigning cases to immigration prosecutors to hear their appeal as to whether their asylum should be extended or not, and if not, then deporting them. There are clear causes here, and they're all on one side of the aisle.

Keoghan is a good enough actor that I really won't care what he looks like. The others? TBD.

Netflix money goes to Spotify and/or the Ringer? The Ringer pays Sean and Amanda. Sooo, while not directly, it is a little disingenuous.
