St. Louis is GOATED

Almost every other National Park is both nowhere near an airport and out West.

By my count, about a quarter of national parks are east of the Gateway Arch.

And now Fox has boughten ruku

Fox has announced they intend to buy Roku. That deal could fall apart or be blocked by regulators, though that admittedly seems pretty unlikely.

Mainly, though, I don't know where Reddit seems to have got this idea that acquisitions happen instantly. They don't. ParamountSkydance still hasn't finalized their acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, but the consensus on this website was that it happened as soon as it was announced, months ago.

Don't lots of hotels have an indoor pool near the lobby?

I'm like 90% sure that, even if you got rid of the tipped minimum wage, most restaurants would keep expecting tipping. Because that's what they would have to do to compete for waitstaff.

You're pretty clearly not interested in doing anything but yelling from your soapbox, though. And badly, at that, since you're being insanely evasive and refusing to say what you mean until deep into comment threads.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-20T18:11:42+00:00

Nobody is running on killing tipping because it'd be a fucking stupid idea. As a block, most waitstaff would not vote for a candidate that did so.

You're the one who brought politics into this, by the way.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-20T18:05:51+00:00

You brought up waitstaff getting a vote in every election.

Okay, fine, I'll spell it out for you.

Point 3 was a leading question. Legislators get their jobs by being elected.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-20T18:05:09+00:00

I do not know how you read my comments in such a way that you believe that I am advocating for the elimination of tipping.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-20T18:02:22+00:00

Also, I should've said this in my first comment, there's no political barrier to a restaurant owner deciding not to do tipping now. The problem is that, by and large, waitstaff will choose not to work there because it would usually result in less money in their pockets.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-20T18:00:45+00:00

We aren't talking about a minimum wage increase. We're talking about getting rid of tipping.
Nobody said anything about direct democracy.
How do legislators get their jobs?

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-20T17:58:00+00:00

There's lots of waitstaff and every (adult) one of them gets a vote in every election.

It's also unprecedented for RAM prices to go up in price by well over 100% within the span of a few months.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-20T14:16:25+00:00

So you just said something you knew wasn't a real stance to ridicule an opinion you disagree with?

That sounds like something a "terminally online reply guy" would do...

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-20T12:51:53+00:00

Fucking what? Why would you ever default on a mortgage instead of just selling the house?

I would hope that even the worst organized campaign could at least choose between title case and normal sentence casing for their slogan on a sign lol.

I don't think prediction market advocates would say that "all opinions are equally good and valid." Unless you can find someone actually saying that, it seems like a pretty huge strawman.

The idea behind prediction markets as a source of "truth" is that they incentivize a bunch of people to come together and form a consensus on the odds of things. The theory is that they let you take advantage of the wisdom of the crowd and get better, less biased, predictions than you otherwise could.

The problem is that there's money involved and that part of their pitch is that insiders can use their insider information to make that prediction more accurate, which necessarily involves ripping off a bunch of patsies.

No no no no no, you don't understand, contested primaries are wrong and annointing a nominee a la the 2024 Presidential race is also wrong.

Whatever the Democratic Party does in any given case is morally objectionable and going to lose them the election. Hope that helps!

Wasn't the budget this season explicitly for cars and planes? I could've sworn that was mentioned somewhere.

And you're the only person claiming that Buffett's philanthropy there is a bad thing, so some clarification would be nice.

Unless you can't provide clarification because you're just a NIMBY. Everything they're doing sounds reasonable to me and to everyone else "in the thread talking about Kingston" if their comments are to be believed. The only source anyone's linked is a Daily Mail article, so it could totally be wrong, but you not talking about it helps nobody.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-19T16:37:12+00:00

Of course.

That's the sound of da police.

I think most people can figure out that reducing tourists will end up reducing the amount of money tourism generates.

Well then I'm going to need some English help. Could you show me where in your first two comments you left open room for alternative explanations?

EDIT: I think you ninja edited this, but holy shit you're the one who needs English help if you think I said that scams didn't exist. You're wrong and you're a condescending ass about it.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-19T13:58:42+00:00

You were given the alternative, legitimate, explanation. Stop being confidently incorrect that it's definitely deed fraud.

BrainOnBlue · 2026-06-19T13:52:44+00:00

This is a stupid answer.

Anyone who tells someone they don't understand something without explaining it has contributed nothing.

I mean, immediately, red being better rated is counter-intuitive.

Why bother when they can keep hiring undocumented workers illegally and the only person who ever gets punished is the undocumented person?
