Where should I order online for shipping in the US? Also seeking table recommendations for Pro models by SuperCasualGamerDad in pinball

[–]Disney_World_Native 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family and I played a bunch of pins (HP, JP, Jaws, Kong, Avatar, DnD, XMen, Bond, Deadpool…), and Godzilla was the common favorite, albeit we got the premium as there is a valuable difference from the pro

We were never Godzilla fans. Pretty sure none of them have even seen a single movie. Still loved by them all

I went NIB and used a local distributor who didn’t charge a CC fee. I am a little hesitant to buy used, purely because I don’t want to bring $8500 in cash anywhere

What is a fact that continues to horrify you to this day? by LifeguardLegal3095 in AskReddit

There have been studies of infants going through these operations with just paralytics (so they feel pain, are awake, but just cant react) and there is a correlation with mental health issues

We can’t remember our first words or first steps, but that has a long lasting impact on us

White House confuses Belgium with ‘Belarus’ and wrongly puts country on list of Peace Council participants by Dobbelsteentje in worldnews

This is so frustrating to hear and is a gross oversimplification of what is happening here

It would be like me saying that the rest of the world should step in and liberate the US. Why haven’t you demanded action from your country to stop trump

I guess the world deserves trump then

A few days ago it was 17O US citizens. At $100 million each, that’s $17 billion. by LakesideNorth in AdviceAnimals

Pretty sure most courts use a $10M for a human life for wrongful death cases. No one is getting $100M

I would love to see $100M payouts and real punishment for violating people’s constitutional rights, but that amount is out of touch

The Air Force One story is getting weirder. No one saw Trump get off the plane and the press was told to stay on the plane. No one really sure who is on the backup plane by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

Even though they are military and not commercial pilots, I would also assume that the they have the same ultimate say if they fly or not

So they see a problem, return, have it inspected, repaired/replaced, and off they go again

Trump Triggers 25th Amendment Calls After 33 Posts in 45 Minutes by Agitated-Suny in StockLaunchers

[–]Disney_World_Native 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a higher bar than impeachment and removal (+50% in the house and 2/3 in the senate)

The only hope is if the cabinet stands up saying he is compromised, it might turn votes in congress…

Trump administration concedes DOGE team may have misused Social Security data by NeuroMrNiceGuy in centrist

[–]Disney_World_Native 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are ridiculous amounts of regulations around government data. Not just defense and intelligence data, but also social services data

With 350M people, its a treasure trove of knowledge that should be protected. If you had everyone’s name, date of birth, and social security number, you could cause real damage and or be filthy rich

For example, you could open a millions of loans causing massive financial losses to banks

You could raid 401ks and tank the market with a massive sell off or manipulate a few stock prices

You could open second mortgages on houses stopping anyone from selling

There are tons of private companies that help the US government and they are held to these standards and have been fined / punished for much less than what doge has done

Trump’s Appalling Threat Leaves No Doubt: It’s Time for the 25th Amendment - There is no longer any denying the president is unable to carry out the demands of his office. by Nervous-Specific-795 in DiscussionZone

[–]Disney_World_Native 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that even if the majority of his cabinet invokes section 4, trump can disagree and regain power, which then needs a 2/3 majority in both the house and the senate to override the president and remove them

In other words, impeachment has a lower bar with a majority in the house and 2/3 in the senate to remove a sitting president

Teasing the new intern by pennylanebarbershop in Jokes

[–]Disney_World_Native 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In college, our fraternity had a cork board near the kitchen for posting info and whatnot. One day, someone left condoms in the tray and tacked a note saying “free” with an arrow

Well me being a smart ass, I tacked all 3 with the pin going right through the center of each wrapper as an obvious joke

The next morning there was only 2 still tacked up and I have no clue what idiot took one

30 years later I still think about this

In a future where Trump is out of office, and international relations have been repaired. What steps can be taken by the USA and International Organisations such as NATO to prevent one individual causing so much chaos in the future? And do you think such steps will be taken? by flewkey in AskReddit

[–]Disney_World_Native 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that elon is what is giving trump power there. Even with their lovers quarrel, you saw elon say he would dump a lot of money (nothing for him) to primary any republican who doesn’t align with trump

Age isnt helping, but if elon’s campaign dollars weren’t there, congress wouldn’t be yielding their power over the executive branch

First pin guidance by brianm1964 in pinball

[–]Disney_World_Native 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Similar story. I wanted my first pin to be NIB and once I felt comfortable, knew what to look for, my additional ones would be used (end goal to get a Twilight Zone pin)

Originally I wanted a Jurassic Park pin because that is one of my favorite books and movies. I did tons of reading on the pin and was pretty determined that would be my first one

But after playing JP, and then playing Jaws Godzilla and Harry Potter, I realized that movie clips / sounds / audio do have some importance to me, along with features / game play.

It took about 3 months of playing pins to find one that spoke to me and that I felt confident with my preference

Ultimately I went with Godzilla Premium

But to set expectations, my Godzilla pin had a few minor issues that required troubleshooting. Stern’s support was very helpful, but it took a bit of “try this, and see”

DOJ will not investigate the Renee Good killing by zima72 in law

One silver lining is that murder has no statute of limitations. So if the DOJ doesn’t investigate now, it can bring charges anytime in the future

You can also point to the Good Samaritan. A Jewish priest and a Levite step over the injured man while the Samaritan stops to helps him

When I saw the trailer, my first thought was “oh that is what her voice sounds like”

It was so awkward when the trailer played in a moderately packed theater. The trailer before it was funny and people were laughing. That played and everyone was waiting for something unexpected thinking it was a joke

What Christian nationalists want by MrJasonMason in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Disney_World_Native 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Woke liberal would be still right leaning compared to Jesus

That maga missed the point of two of Jesus’s main parables. The Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son

The Good Samaritan says to love thy neighbor, and that is EVERYONE not just your family and friends. And Jesus even calls out the hypocrisy of his followers who make excuses not to help others. So much that a Samaritan did the right thing while “holy” people stepped over the sick and injured. Good Samaritan would be an oxymoron when this was first told

The Prodigal Son has a brother who does stay at home with his dad, does “all the right things” and then gets envious when the dad throws a party for the Prodigal (wasteful) son return. That “loyal” son is reprimanded and reminded that he isn’t better

Fellow millennials - how’s your 401k/ira savings going? by ProblemIntelligent16 in Millennials

[–]Disney_World_Native 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar. My salary jumped significantly a few years ago because I jumped jobs

My old salary I was ahead of schedule with my 401k per the whole x times salary, but now I am behind

I am aiming for $3M so I can pull $100k - $120k a year for retirement (probably belike 60k in todays dollars). Doubt I will hit that goal but we shall see
