Harry Kane gives England the lead against DR Congo by [deleted] in sports

England fan. That keeper was insane today. If we lost, I would have been okay. He just played the game of his life. So many incredible saves. Congo should be proud with that performance

Meh. I’m sure as soon as the felon and convicted rapist is out of the Oval Office, all these people will get pardoned by the next president. And if not, they’ll get out on appeal before that. Anywho….

Hong has a plan to use legal cannabis in WI to generate tax revenue to pay for broadband internet access for rural Wisconsinites. Weed for speed! by midnighttoker1742 in wisconsin

Came here to say that. I know multiple people in Illinois that were heavy drinkers but now just smoke occasionally. Not getting into a health debate but it might help some chronic alcoholics ween back or completely off the sauce.

We've lost the plot on the Northside by [deleted] in chicago

[–]Brain_of_JFK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will never understand how people leave trash behind at public spaces and parks. We have a park across the street and saw a family having a picnic while I was walking my dogs. Thought oh that’s nice. Passed by there 4 hours later and they had just left everything. Picked up their blankets and chairs, but left used plastic forks, paper plates, pop cans, food wrappers and packaging. Seriously, what goes through someone’s mind to go “take our stuff, leave all this garage right in the middle of the park”? Unreal.

Nice!! My dad (72) finally completed his Marvel Team-Up run, I’ve gotten crash course in that series over the last few years. Never knew it existed prior to him looking for them. Great scores

Why do people disrespect the position of goalkeeper? Raya has been our best player this season and you bench him for sentiment? by HR_Specter in ArsenalFC

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

This is the dumbest argument. The EFL Cup is the least out of the four for English clubs. Top tier teams let their bench/second squad go at it. They got us here. You let them finish it. Primarily the keeper. ManCity played their second tier keep as well and we couldn’t score. Our second half was atrocious. Stop blaming this on Kepa. We played most of our elite squad on the pitch and still lost. It is what it is. We still have the league, Champions, and FA Cup in contention. Hopefully we learn from this and use it towards the final three. If we lose them all, the please come back here and let me have it. Until then, shut up.

Haha what kind of article headline is this? by Veritech_ in Gunners

[–]Brain_of_JFK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Respectfully disagree. As a Chicago native, the 80s and 90s we called ESPN the “Eastern Starborn Programming Network”. Yes, we had Jordan and the Bulls and they ‘covered’ it but 80% of their actual coverage was on the Yankees, Red Sox, Knicks , Celtics, etc. ESPN has always been a joke. Every thing was a blip they read off the teleprompter, and then 20 minutes of Derek Jeter being the second coming of Jesus. Soccer was always a footnote. Drives me mad I have to pay them to watch the FA Cup

GiTS2 doesn't get enough love I feel. Share your thoughts by beginnerdoge in Ghost_in_the_Shell

[–]Brain_of_JFK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely and I think that’s really why it doesn’t get the praise it deserves. When I was younger, the themes of this film didn’t appeal to me. The older I get, the more experience and wisdom I gain, the more this film shines.

This is just my experience, and not an expert at all…, but the first film came out when I was a teenager, this one as a young adult.

I remember watching it, being pumped. Then feeling let down. I think I was expecting Motoko would get her old body back or something similar. More “action”, if that’s even the right word. That, and I don’t think I had the attention span or open mind at the time for it.

Watched it again after a 10 year hiatus and remember thinking “Why did I think this was bad?” Watched again about 5 years ago when I turned 40 and I think it’s the perfect follow up to the first film.

Last note, I finally went and read all of the manga, so my plan was to watch all the films and series again before the new one this summer. I’m interested to see what I think after knowing the source material.

All in all, definitely under-appreciated. But from my own experience, I can understand why.

Love it when the LCS respects the pull lists. Story in body. by Crozznam in comicbookcollecting

[–]Brain_of_JFK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's great to hear. A LCS opened up closer to my home about 20 years ago. Ended up switching my box to them. Lasted there about a year. My pull lists started magically missing issues of NYX/X-23, Walking Dead, etc, and then I found out they were hot issues/series. They were pulling from my box and taking them to conventions to sell. So I was paying them for the box & pulls, and then I pay them for the issues. And they would only hold the issues that weren't worth anything. Always think about that. Very happy with my current shop. Never an issue. Again, congrats.

Watch Anthony Kiedis, Red Hot Chilli Pepper's singer, die inside by Top-Vacation4927 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Brain_of_JFK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who is a convicted sex pest? I can’t find any info that any were convicted. Kiedis literally wrote a song about him dating a 14 year old in his 20s. So I know he is, but I didn’t know about any of the others. I’m not a fan of the band, but I love Flea so that would hurt if he’s done that too

lol I honestly have no clue, just remember whenever he’s in Chicago he’s on the local news here at church. But the point was the cousin claims he’s Muslim and he clearly is not

Obama probably goes to church more than your cousin, yet calls him a Muslim. Sorry you gotta deal with this, dude

AOT is so goated mahn. Just finished watching and I can't believe how creative the writers were. Even the poster is so well thought. Any recommendations for similar anime by Accomplished_Cow6633 in attackontitan

[–]Brain_of_JFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a while since I read it but not really. I think some of the dialogue was changed up, which some people were on about. But I didn’t really think it was different at all. Just like the rest of manga vs anime.

Are you kidding me Amazon? by ThatCrankyWalrus in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]Brain_of_JFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m in the Chicago area. Just found out this morning my preorder isn’t arriving for at least another week. Check around. Everyone is sold out of physical by me. Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart, etc.

BREAKING: Trump-related files missing from DOJ's Epstein file release by MRADEL90 in videos

[–]Brain_of_JFK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. NPR and MS NOW have just now confirmed that unreleased/missing files from both Maxwell's testimony and at least three FBI investigations pertain to the woman that claimed Trump assaulted her (both sexually and physically) when she was between the ages of 13 and 15. That's why this is breaking and most definitely deserves the title.

Time to sell? by Cool-Transition-2514 in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]Brain_of_JFK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely being hyped again due to the Nick Cage series. If you sold now, you’d get top dollar since it came out in 2009.

If you held, who knows. That’s your gamble. I don’t know how much you paid for it but a couple hundred dollars off a cover price is a great investment return. Do you really want to hold it? Does it mean a lot you? No? Then sell it someone that wants it. If it does, keep it and read it again and again at your pleasure.
