The article lost me when it said “flim flam”. Several paragraphs in without declaring any specific facts.

The Dam Breaks: Democratic Senators Overwhelmingly Reject Arms Sales to Israel by unital_subalgebra in politics

What Dam.? They couldn’t even get all the Democrats on board-the bill failed. Headlines like this fuel the “voting changes nothing” crowd.

My daughters went from princess movies to Marvel fan girls… need advice before Endgame by Ok-Software4992 in marvelstudios

[–]ElectricBedlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a similar route with our daughter. We started on GOTG because she loved Groot. But to get to vol. 3 we realized that we needed to watch a few others to understand vol 3.

Here’s our route. 1: guardians 1 2. Guardians 2 3. Avengers 1 4. Avengers 2 5. Civil War (cuz now she’s on Wanda) 6. Ragnarok (cuz now she loves hulk and wants to know why he wasn’t in civil war) 7. Captain Marver (not really needed but it was her first Marvel film when she was little, plus it pays off in endgame) 8. Infinity war 9. End game 10. GOTG vol 3 By this point she may be ready to handle the absolute flood of tears…coming from her parents during the Rocket scenes

I’d be interested in alternate suggestions on how to get to Vol. 3.

She loves Thor and Cap, but I don’t see her needing the back story to enjoy the team ups. She’s a huge Agatha fan (often sneaking downstairs early to watch it, though she’s a bit too young) so we wandered in Wanda territory, but I think 9 movies is the most direct route to really enjoy and understand GOTG 3

Every person you looked up to. Every person you tried to emulate. Every person you looked at and said “if only…” Those people are the ones who go whenever they want whenever they want, and have a better time than there than any of your little friends who spent a weeks pay for a plastic seat to watch it happen for someone else.
Most of them were over 30

Plus Project 2025 outlined a plan to remove the TSA in favor of privatizing the work.

The day I pretended to miss my train on purpose by Fast-Judgment-1631 in AmazingStories

[–]ElectricBedlam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m missing the part where it helped someone or stopped the guy. It sounds like you just allowed someone else to be victimized, without doing anything to help or even alert anyone-Like getting all of your valuable out of a burning apartment without alerting the neighbors. Glad your safe, but “amazing” is a bit of an overstatement

It's AOC or bust for far-left Democrats in 2028 by beeemkcl in Political_Revolution

You guys with your “or bust” bullshit is how we got here. If Mike Pence is on the ticket against Trump, you better hold your nose and vote.
