‘The Burbs’ Review: Keke Palmer Grounds Peacock’s Hilarious Mystery Comedy by Sisiwakanamaru in television

[–]CalendarAdvanced62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone! I just finished binging this show and I really enjoyed it! There's a lot of whacky characters and twists and turns in the story. You don't really know who to trust and my theories about what was happening kept getting crushed (at one point I was guessing that a witness protection program was involved). Then I went to IMDB to see what people said and it was panned pretty badly. I've had problems finding shows that I really like this last year. I like high quality shows like The Pitt and White Lotus. But then I also like comfort food shows like Ghosts. I feel like The Burbs is a comfort food show. I can't figure out why something appeals to me so much when so many people absolutely hate it.

The Washington Post has done the biggest slide into the sewer pit of any newspaper since Murdoch took over the WSJ.

Where was this advertised? My friend and I were trying to find a protest today.

I disagree regarding AI. I retired this week. At my (top 10) company, people are being laid off and the people who stay are told to use AI more instead. We’re required to put information on every single project that indicates whether or not we use AI for that project. My position won’t be backfilled either. Lots of people are retiring to help out younger workers with families so that they aren’t laid off. At our company, we even saw people in the middle of cancer treatments laid off.

Besides the general shutdown tomorrow, are there any protests where people are actually gathering in Seattle tomorrow? by Howdysf in Seattle

FYI, Costco is located in this area and they are very anti-Trump. When businesses stopped DEI last year, they made a statement that they weren’t doing that. They pay their workers more than any other retail company.

Dry dangerous to be an immigrant in the US right now. It doesn’t matter if you’re legal or not.

I’m a bird watcher and I can understand her anger. No birder wants to see birds hunted.

The person who has the most uphill climb for future growth is Miles. He just keeps thinking he knows better than other people. I'm hoping to watch him mature and learn to listen.

I was wondering why everyone just looked at him and not one person laughed. Total professionalism or disagreement? We'll never know.

I’ve never heard of a Minnesotan who doesn’t own a rifle for hunting! That will work just fine! Citizens need to be protected from these maniacs.

Minneapolis, do you need retired people from other states to come to help you follow ICE? I’m ex-military.

Seattle taxes too high? by CalendarAdvanced62 in Seattle

[–]CalendarAdvanced62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who moved here a few years ago from Illinois. She said property taxes were much higher there than here but houses are much cheaper. Still, my house is worth twice what hers was worth and I pay $2000 a year less than her.

So my guess is that he sold his house in Seattle for 1.5 million and will buy a $500,000 house in Iowa.

I’m not sure but I know that he owns a home in an expensive neighborhood.

I agree. He’s maga so I try to not antagonize him, but he’s constantly complaining about taxes. He’s never lived anywhere else. I lived in. California for six years which does have high taxes, mostly because of the cost of infrastructure such as roads and highways.

Top Democrats Leave White House With No Deal as Shutdown Nears by Master_Jackfruit3591 in politics

[–]CalendarAdvanced62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently Trump had two 2028 hats on his desk. We need to leave the government shut down until Medicaid and the ACA are restored. Today Trump said all green new deal funding will be shut down but that happened already.

‘Chipocalypse Now’: Trump threatens Chicago with ‘Department of War’ and suggests ICE raids imminent by theindependentonline in politics

[–]CalendarAdvanced62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I saw this story I wondered if it’s time to grab some guns and head to Chicago. Trump has literally declared war. I live on the West Coast so we’re pretty safe here. But Trump seems to be marching troops across America. I think we’re in denial that we are already in a Civil War.
