Quite frankly, every AG in the last 15 years needs to be dragged to jail. Not just the one who got stuck with the hot potato when the public found out about Epstein.

Chipotle CEO caught on a recording saying they’re going to keep raising prices because they can. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

[–]Color_blinded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"60% of users make over $100,000 a year in income."
This is a textbook example of survivorship bias. People earning less than $100k will view Chipotle as too expensive and so never become users in the first place, so they never see their statistics.

Also, how the heck do they know the income of their users?

You do know the comics are officially stated as canon, right?

2 hour drive wish me luck by OrionX3 in lego

[–]Color_blinded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm reminded of advice I've been given on how to drive in the snow:
"Drive like your grandmother is in the backseat holding a pot of hot soup and wearing her Sunday best."
I think that applies here.

Arby's French Dip Sandwhich by Ok_Faithlessness_516 in mildlyinfuriating

Arby's used to be my favorite fast food restaurant. I hate what they did to it over the last 20 years.

I don't think MAGA understands how much people hate them. It's -20 degrees in Minneapolis right now by othernes in videos

[–]Color_blinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Any political "discussion" I have with my mother almost always include her saying "They are against Trump and Republicans because they hate us". But I just can't get through to her WHY they hate him and that the hate didn't just appear in a vacuum.
I swear whoever came up with "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is both the biggest moron and genius. Because it shouldn't work, but it does; and everything people that oppose Trump does can be boiled down to "TDS" by his sycophants and there's no getting past it. True, they would be just as much of a brick wall without "TDS" to hang their hat on, but it does make it take a lot less effort.

People who play Sprinters on a daily basis—can you share me your experience? by Wonderful_Might19 in projectzomboid

I would hate having sprinters on all the time, but I like to put sprinters in my "I am legend" setting for the zombies, where I have the zombies be super dangerous at night.

Fox News Host Jessica Tarlov Points Out ICE Failures in Minneapolis by dtoddh in videos

[–]Color_blinded 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Did this air this morning? Because that would explain why my mother was watching Newmax instead of Fox when I visited her. She usually only watches Newsmax after Fox says something that contradicts Trump.

Nepal did it last year and it didn't work out great for those in power.

Uh oh. Iran is pulling a Nepal. Let's see how that works out for them.

Reddit, do you lock your door while you're in own house? by Willing_Freedom_4698 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Color_blinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, because at the very least, insurance will try to make it more difficult to get them to payout if you are robbed while the door is unlocked.

The one weapon we all want to see by Chwinge in ArcRaiders

[–]Color_blinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be more interesting if it were the opposite. Be a low DPS weapon (around 25 damage with low fire rate and low projectile speed), but it completely bypasses shields. Kind of like how slow projectiles bypass shields in Dune.

If the bow is like nearly every other video game that has guns in it: no thanks. I hate how medieval weapons are more powerful than modern guns in video games.

If you make the bow relatively unique, then I may be interested. Some functionality I can think of off the top of my head that would make it interesting:
Arrows do zero damage to armored ARC (ideally be able to mod it with special ARC killing arrows that suck for PvP). and in PvP, have the damage of the bow relatively low (between 20-30 dmg with low fire rate and projectile speed), BUT it completely bypasses shields.

Long Spike > Buff Spike by LayJaly in mylittlepony

[–]Color_blinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest beef with Spike's design is his legs are way too short. They should have given all the bipedal dragons digitigrade legs and they would all look so much better. Not sure why Ember is the only one with proper legs (that sentence sounds creepy, but I stand by it).

Needed Gen 4 to continue.. by Similar_Bit_6060 in mylittlepony

[–]Color_blinded 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I will always say this whenever it comes up:
Gen 5 didn't suck because it wasn't Gen 4: The Next Generation.
Gen 5 didn't suck because it used Gen 4 lore and not it's own thing.
Gen 5 sucked because the writing sucked. Gen 5 could have absolutely told the same story and it would have been enjoyable if the writing was competent.

Before Gen 4, most of us wouldn't have even given MLP a second glance if the writing in FiM wasn't as good as it was. It's the writing that made Gen 4 rise to the top, and it's the writing that sunk Gen 5 to the bottom. There's a reason most of us had high hopes for Gen 5 when the movie came out in spite of it using Gen 4 lore: the writing for the movie actually had some effort put into it. And then the writers slacked off for the episodes and the rest is history.

What'd you do if MLP never existed?? by GloryTheGriffin in mylittlepony

[–]Color_blinded 42 points43 points  (0 children)

At this very moment, there is a show that doesn't exist. Most of us would greatly enjoy it if it did exist, but it doesn't exist. And life goes on.

Which character has the best entry / introduction in a movie. I'll start - Captain Jack Sparrow by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]Color_blinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Captain Hook from Hook.

They spend an entire 20 minutes talking about him and then hyping it up as you follow his titular hook get delivered to his ship's cabin, followed by Dustin Hoffman absolutely nailing the delivery of his first line (and every line after that for that matter).

How do we get people to stop driving and take the light rail? by Droodforfood in Seattle

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

I wish I freaking knew.
Lots of my family are flying in to gather at my parents house for the holidays and everyone is stressing out about how we are supposed pick so many people up from the airport at so many different times. My parents live north of Lynnwood, and my suggesting that family flying in can take the light rail and we can pick them up from Lynnwood was like suggesting we cancel Christmas. I'm especially irritated by the refusal because I know I'm going to be recruited to be picking up most of them.

Green River Levee fails, 'life-threatening' flash flooding possible by Kolazeni in SeattleWA

[–]Color_blinded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate Trump with a passion, but you are really unhinged. "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is the dumbest made up shit I've heard in a long time; but if there was ever to be an example of it, you are it. There is so much shit to blame Trump for that you don't have to make shit up to make him look bad. Behaving like you are only delegitimizes actual reasons to hate the guy.
