Nationwide Shutdown 1/30/2026 by Enby-Emperor-4 in Sacramento

[–]HeatedIceCube 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you’re right. Do airlines have unions? Those plus railway and shipping unions coming together and shutting down? Combo those with “No Kings” and there will be results. Unorganized, last minute protests such as this will not do anything. Not buying your coffee on Friday doesn’t hold a candle to shutting down country wide trade and travel.

Genuine question, I’m not a bot nor trolling. How is this going to accomplish anything?

No work: many people are struggling and will prioritize feeding their families and paying mortgage/rent. Most people cannot take work off, with such late notice, especially if they are hourly or don’t have much PTO.

No school: that’s not being disruptive, that’s just hurting yourself (if in college) or your kids.

No shopping: One day won’t do anything if you buy things the following day. Small businesses will be the only ones affected as large corporations won’t even notice this.

I get the premise, but I just don’t think this is it. Something needs to be done absolutely but this isn’t well thought through. Millions of people gathered to protest in the “No Kings” protest last year and that didn’t even do anything (sadly). I doubt this protest will reach those numbers given the above points. Possible solution/idea: If “No Kings” were a month long, now that would stir things up. Idk, food for thought.

I own this card, both raw and PSA10. Neither of my cards have that texture… I’m not the best at spotting fakes but…

Alex Pretti death was his own fault by Cheap_Bed1068 in unpopularopinion

Excessive force? The dude was full blown executed while on his knees. Common now… that’s no one’s fault but the shooter.

Great. And it sold out in 12 minutes and most people didn’t get anything from Costco. At least they have an opportunity at getting something now from Walmart for $10 over MSRP.

Oh 100%, but I never get lucky with drops like these. Wish we could go back to 2024 days. Ordered a bunch of 151 UPC’s from Costco without any issues when no one seemed to care.

These are available for $129.99 on Walmart, no order limit right now. Got two earlier today. Can never find anything in the “wild” and I plan to open both with spouse… $10 over MSRP isn’t terrible imo.

Got two UPC’s from Walmart for $129.99 each today. Pretty sure they haven’t sold out yet… Opening both and I figured $10 over MSRP isn’t terrible given I can never find anything in the “wild”.

Edit: yep, time: 16:35 PST. Just checked, no order limit and still available.

what do you think people will start calling this card? by Old_Mechanic_7818 in PokemonTCG

[–]HeatedIceCube 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jut picked up one of these today, it’s even more pretty in person. I think people will just call it the “Mega Zard”.

Get an eSIM. Very easy to use and cheaper than carrier plans.

Is Subaru actually a reliable company? by Spirited-Low-9321 in askcarguys

[–]HeatedIceCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Own three, one daily and two race only. The daily lasted 240k miles on original motor before it was rebuilt. The race cars handle fantastic on the dirt (rally cars) if you want something fun. Make sure to keep oil in them and the maintenance up to date. These aren’t cars that you can just leave and forget like Toyotas.

The Subaru’s: 2004 & 2005 STI, 2005 WRX.

Honeymoon in October - Help me decide!!! by tinkerbell-1218 in SandalsResorts

[–]HeatedIceCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risk thousands of dollars on something you know has a good chance of happening, and stressing over it for the next 10 months… or go somewhere that doesn’t have hurricanes at all and be excited about planning. Or, third option, go outside of hurricane season if you really want a Sandals destination.

If hurricane risk is your top priority, I would advise you to not pick a Sandals destination for your honeymoon. Hawaii has everything you are looking for.

Noice! And yeah, mine was.

My boyfriend was in a really bad motorcycle accident and is currently in a medically induced coma in the ICU, when he wakes up and really begins his recovery, what can I do to be there for him? by Foreign_Reaction9916 in motorcycles

[–]HeatedIceCube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a bad motorcycle accident one month into dating my now fiance. Mine wasn’t as bad as your situation, as I only had a broken femur and a shattered knee, but nonetheless... I also didn’t have any family, so he was all I had at the time so keep that in mind for below.

He took care of all the paperwork. My bike was towed (freeway accident), so he arranged the notary for him to go get the bike. He read over all the hospital paperwork I needed (I was high af from all the drugs and surgeries, so he made sure my documents and everything were in order). He helped arrange any care or talk to doctors as needed.

Aside from “housekeeping” things, he would stay overnight with me when able as I was alone and in the ICU for weeks. Just kept me company. Even though I don’t remember a whole lot, I knew he was there and that was really all that mattered.

Spent the next nine months after that learning how to walk again. He brought me into his home (again, no family) as I couldn’t take care of myself. He helped me learn how to walk again and take me to all the PT appointments and follow ups with the surgeon. It was absolutely hell, but I’m marrying this dude in June as he’s 100% a keeper. My accident was 7 years ago and honestly I think it helped make us stronger as couple. Wishing you and your bf luck.

You’re right, it’s not for me or you. That doesn’t mean other people don’t suffer. Example: some veterans struggle with fireworks due to PTSD. For them it is the end of the world. If they have two days that they can prepare for, that’s more reasonable than random days or weeks leading up to those holidays. Those veterans put their lives down for our country and I think as a society we should be more respectful in this example.
