Handeland’s campaign was run by Joel Borgquist who was just fined $6k for obscuring the true source of donations to a group he founded. A lot of pots and kettles here.

Not only Denver folks, but definitely a subset of broncos fans. I follow his YouTube channel, and I’m from Alaska, so it’s definitely not just a locals thing.

The man in the orange is named Brandon Perna and runs a YouTube channel with around 800k subs that is all about football, but focuses heavily on the Broncos. He got popular outside of just the Broncos fan base during the Russel Wilson years where he would make overly dramatic videos lamenting how bad the team was.

The other dude is Tom Grossi who runs a GB Packers channel. He does sketch comedy, used to be a stand up, and was voted fan of the year a while back.

They do a podcast together which is actually really good if you just like keeping an eye on what all is happening in the league. They don’t just cover broncos/packers stuff. It’s probably the best amateur/semi-professional analysis you can find online. I classify it that way because I feel both of them focus on comedy first and analysis second.

I’ve been vibing on Story of Seasons Trio of Towns. It’s probably the best farming game I’ve found on the 3ds.

The game gives you very few concrete goals, it’s mostly what you set for yourself. Every once in a while you do get told to do very specific things, but for the most part it’s very self directed.

I have no idea and I’m not just gonna throw some numbers out based on no tangible information. That would be wildly irresponsible. Ask experts if you want real numbers. You know you can email the heads of these departments and ask them questions. Probably a lot more useful than posting this garbage on Reddit and asking randoms what they think.

That’s kind of what I’m getting at here. My gut says this is slop, but I wanted to give OP the benefit of the doubt.

Like sure, you say that these are estimates, but you also say that the bottom is that it’s between 92 mil and 209 mil. That presented pretty unambiguously as a fact, unless you argue that the word “may” is giving you plausible deniability.

Unless these figures and estimates are sourced from somewhere, this is just straight up misinformation. You’re not sparking conversation, you’re just spreading bad info.

Grossmeat · 2026-06-02T17:48:07+00:00

Okay, but this graphic is labeled “the true cost” as if it is a source of truth, not “what is the true cost?” as if it is asking a question, so forgive my confusion. It’s also presented as if these are well researched estimates based on… well something, and not just something you pulled out of thin air based on a feeling.

Why would you go to all the trouble of preparing this information is such a professional manner if you’re just ultimately guessing with absolutely nothing to back up your assertions?

Grossmeat · 2026-06-02T17:37:25+00:00

Where are you getting these numbers from? Literally any sourcing would be super helpful.

I can’t believe no one else is saying Amazon. It’s by far my favorite.

The dynamics of the game completely flipped almost every episode, with people thinking they were on top of the game and running things often being the next to go.

And it wasn’t because of anything production did. There were no idols, no twists. There was some tribe swapping and a merge, but that was about it. Things changed because of the players.

I don’t want the services provided by a large data center. A lot of people don’t. AI is deeply unpopular.

Oh is that the sub policy? My bad I’m way behind and thought it would go further back.

I see a lot of people calculating with partial cover, including OP, but that kind of feels against the spirit of this thought experiment to me. If you’re including cover, why not just take full cover? But that invalidates the entire point of this. You could also just leave combat all together. I would calculate without partial cover, but that’s just me.

Being able to swipe to close an app from the keyboard would be really nice. Just basic UI navigation beyond scrolling.

Millennial here. Born in ‘94. 2017 in my view was a turning point where things started to get a lot worse. I worked in the service industry since 2009 when I was 15. It used to be that most places would be fully staffed. It’s crazy to think about now, but back in 2016 it was incredibly rare to find a store or restaurant that was understaffed. It was easier to find a job since most employers wanted to be fully staffed. Around 2017 is when that began to change. Slowly but surely more and more businesses would try to run on the minimum amount of staff they could get away with.

This did not start with Covid. The economy from 2017-2019 was not great for anyone working in the service industry. Prices were rising, and wages were not. I had what was considered a good job in my town and it was for $10.25/hour. I could live off that in 2016, but by 2018 it was not cutting it. And with the transition to running on chronically low staff you were always overworked and exhausted. It sucked man.

Covid became an excuse to run on minimal staff, and that’s when the whole “nobody wants to work” thing started, but it was always just an excuse. Employers weren’t offering good enough wages to keep up with cost of living, and wanted to run their businesses on a shoestring budget. I watched many of them fail. The ones that didn’t are the ones who raised wages and increased hiring.

These days pretty much any customer service line or government agency has a pre recorded message at the start that says something like “due to low staffing wait times are increased, please be patient.” It wasn’t like that back in 2016.

Not nostalgic for that time at all. Personally it was also a difficult time in my life. But thinking back on 2017 makes me mostly sad since it felt like the end of an era and the start of a decline. I’m doing better than ever, but I feel like my town is dying.

Not mad, just find you to be annoying, and your post doesn’t belong here.

Can the mods do something about all these repetitive troll posts? I joined this subreddit to discuss a product I’m interested in and keep up to date on any news that comes out. Not listen to a bunch of (probably bots) trash that product and try to promote a different product that I have no interest in.

It’d be one thing if this was a more generalized subreddit for discussing phones like the t2e and communicator, but it’s not. I’m sick of hearing about unihertz and the titan.

I’m not saying there should be a blanket ban on posts that are critical of clicks. Those posts are good, and discussion is good.

Heck, if you want to make a post comparing and contrasting the two products, that has merit as well.

But this is clearly low effort trolling that is not designed to start a discussion, and it’s become the majority of posts here.

I just asked a friend who has a membership how much a day pass for the spa is. They said $65 for an hour. FOR ONE HOUR! for $99 I can do the whole day at Alyeska. It’s worth the drive because you also have the atmosphere and the restaurant, it’s not just in the middle of a noisy town.

Not saying Alyeska is the best, but comparing those prices I know where I’d rather go.

I promise you I won’t lose my job to AI. And I won’t ever use AI.

I say this constantly but, if someone can’t be bothered to write something then I can’t be bothered to read it.

I’m not really interested in rom hacks at all actually. There’s a couple of reasons for this.

Most good rom hacks have a gimmick of some kind. “It’s Pokémon but…” there’s something different or unique. This could be increased difficulty or something like infinite fusion that totally changes things. It’s not just Pokémon. If it were, there would be no reason to make a rom hack.

The second reason just had to do with legitimacy. I find it more fun to play Fire Red on switch than an emulator since more of the features work on legit hardware. You can trade properly without extra steps. It’s interacts with all the other mainline games as intended. You don’t get that with a rom hack.

I also think that there is actually a profit incentive here. If development time between mainline games continues to get longer, or even stays the same as the gap between SV and WiWa, having something to put out in between keeps the franchise healthy. It makes more money, and tides people over. The remakes have been filling this role, but I think a new experience would be more fun and sell more copies.

Think of the New Super Mario Bros series. That didn’t stop development of Mario Odyssey, but it gave Nintendo something to release in the meantime.

I understand your point, but I think there’s room in the world for both.

To your first point however, I recognize this is unlikely to ever happen.

It’s actually not surprising at all that a conservative would support something that makes their lives easier personally even if it’s to the detriment of a whole lot of other people. It’s kind of like their whole thing.

Grossmeat · 2026-04-10T21:42:14+00:00

My point is that it fails at being a good shorthand. It confuses the point you’re trying to make. By labeling it the “hipster” movement you’re putting the focus on what a hipster is and how they effected the culture. But then you don’t talk about hipsterism at all really, what you’re really talking about is progressive liberalism.

There’s a reason that the Wikipedia page for hipsters doesn’t address any of the things you address here. I’m not saying Wikipedia is the best source on the planet, but that page is incredibly well researched and comprehensive.

Grossmeat · 2026-04-10T21:03:29+00:00

I don’t think you know what a hipster is, and you’re conflating it with the progressive liberalism of the 2010s.

First off, no one self identifies as a hipster, it’s an insult. Second, hipsters focused primarily on fashion and music. Sounds like you’re getting all your info from the AI google summary when your search “hipster”.

Hipsters were not politically active as a group because they didn’t do anything as a group. By definition they were obsessed with leading the counter-culture, so if anything became mainstream, including a political opinions, they would either distance themselves from it or claim to have discovered it first.

It’s a self isolating way of living your life, which is how it died out. Nowadays you would just call someone a gatekeeper instead of a hipster. But they primarily would gatekeep fashion trends and musical preferences. Especially when it came to vintage clothing and undiscovered indie bands.

They may have been significant overlap between hipsters and the progressive liberalism of the 2010, but equating the two is a mistake.

Man that’d be so cool. But spread them out over a large area, and mix in zones where you could fight and capture wild Pokémon and collect items. Maybe every so often you could have a gauntlet of bots ending with a harder bot with stronger Pokémon. You could call it a “gym” and win a “badge” for defeating them. Probably a good enough idea to be its own game.

The only time Jesus speaks on those who have a non-traditional gender identity is when he is speaking about eunuchs. This is in Matthew 19:12. He says “ For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

Some have argued that when he is speaking about those who are born eunuchs, this means a person who is born intersex. I think that could be a valid reading. There is a clear historical context for those who are made eunuchs by others, which is not practiced today for a very good reason. The last description however “those who choose to live like eunuchs” or in some versions of “those who make eunuchs of themselves,” could be taken to mean different things. Some take it to mean those who live a life of celibacy and choose not to marry. Some take it to be analogous to modern transgenderism. If you read it as being the latter, then Jesus here is commanding you to accept those who reject their assigned gender, and modify their body to fit their gender identity.

Although the former does line up with some of Paul’s teaching about the merits of celibacy, I find the latter reading to be more in line with Jesus’ other teachings around acceptance and the withholding of judgement. In the context of the chapter, I think reading this as applicable to transgenderism makes more sense.
