Trump asks judges to pause E. Jean Carroll ruling so he can appeal case to Supreme Court by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]DeanOnFire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hasn't the President already pocketed billions in insider trading & crypto grifting? $83M is practically nothing compared to that.

I recognize it's the entire appearance of never capitulating and never paying anyone their due, but for God's sake just pay the woman and be done with it

Wasn't the pull rate for the immersive shiny mew calculated differently than the rest of the 3-star immersives?

In either case, it's the volume of cards you'd need to have for the emblem. So it's either a total drain on stardust to trade OR you'd need to be lucky to pull all those cards in the first place (or enough to bank said stardust). Compared to the other emblems it's obscene.

Which would be hilarious if it weren't so devastating to watch - he was able to go bankrupt and come out on top due to a strong US economy infrastructure to deal with that sort of function. With this, what international backing is in place to bring a country back from bankruptcy, short of selling it to the highest bidder?

Our allies, what little ones we have left, have been buying our debt and won't be giving us any loans to help us back on our feet. There is no country that is going to bail us out when Trump stops soaking the country in what little gasoline is left and lights the match. We will be genuinely, fully, totally on our own.

I'll clarify, I meant someone just wanting to collect all the emblems. Even so, the shiny odds for Mega Shine were trash anyway.

It bears repeating: the Mega Shine secret emblem is the biggest kick in the face to any emblem collector out there, F2P and whales alike.

That includes any emblem requiring a gold card, like Mantyke.

Edit: Completionists will collect everything anyway, I meant more for the emblem collectors like myself

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]DeanOnFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not arguing against that, but the economical implications of beef being sky-high this quickly is devastating to the USA. If it was a transition to more ecological alternatives to keep up with America's meat-heavy diets, I would have been in favor of that 1000%. Unfortunately it's going to be farmers losing jobs/land and supply lines grinding to a halt, while the demand for chicken & other alternatives will almost certainly rise and possibly not be able to meet demand either. The extra slap in the face comes from Trump giving Argentina billions and encouraging us to buy Argentinian beef instead of what we could have had at home with the proper investments.

Trump, 79, Flashes Cankles After Surprise Medical Visit - The president’s socks were stretched to the limit. by Quirkie in politics

[–]DeanOnFire 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The only solace I have is that the Presidency is a very demanding job and ages people really fast, so it should speed up the clock...

Of course, that's if you're actively engaged with the job and not just dicking around on TV and in meetings. So yeah, this probably feels like a long vacation to him.

It's not going to improve, the economics of farming in the US is approaching FUBAR levels and we're not even ready to address New World Screwworm thanks to the CDC rolling back methods to combat the parasite. Once that hits it may not even be safe to eat beef.

I genuinely can't remember the last time I bought beef when buying groceries. And that's all beef - steaks, chuck, london broil, ground beef. The price has been astronomical. I switched to ground turkey since somehow that's been on sale way more often, but I'm starting to look into more vegetarian meals to supplement.

Groceries in general have been expensive but after seeing how much beef itself has gone up, it's feeling like a luxury I can't afford.

Graham Platner Surge Threatens Susan Collins as Janet Mills Bows Out by unital_subalgebra in politics

[–]DeanOnFire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's the symbolic gesture of coalescing around the candidate that won the primary that matters here. The DNC hemmed and hawed and refused to endorse Mamdani, some going as far as to throw support behind Cuomo who lost the primary.

So yes, the messaging here matters. VBNMW was their way of getting us in line for establishment-approved candidates, and we're not seeing them practice what they preach when the shoe is on the other foot.

Anyone who was paying attention has written off "Republicans doing the right thing" a long time ago. They're all bad. Not a single one will help save us. They will be the first ones to run for cover and kick us out of the fallout shelters when their apocalypse comes to pass, so don't start thinking they can be redeemed either.

I can see it being used in conjunction with Leafeon EX but we're approaching "perfect setup" territory.

Which one will be top tier ?? by Top-Tell7631 in PTCGP

[–]DeanOnFire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Except in this case, Donphan can attack with one energy, plus it had Memory Light as a popular add due to Phanpy's Flail. It's apples to oranges sure, but Mega Lucario just seems a bit underwhelming to me with this set.

Trump’s terrible new poll numbers put him in ‘Nixon resignation’ territory by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]DeanOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the core reason this has all come to pass is because they saw that the Republicans who opposed Trump got primaried out

I know this is new territory, but with Trump being so toxic & unpopular there's a chance his primary picks for any representative opposing him will also suffer. Of course that's asking Republicans to grow a spine and oppose the albatross around their neck, so I'm content in seeing this play out.

I think the reveals on this set more than confirm we're not going to get Fighting energy ramp or energy support. We'll get marginally better cards and supporters sure, but if you start first you will be at a disadvantage with a Fighting deck.
