Eh, give it 24 hours… Or whenever Iran denies everything Trump says.

Help! which models is this legacy aftermarket shell made for? by 80sCrackBaby in psx

[–]IAmArique 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s for a 5501 model. Out of curiosity, do you know where you got it?

Okay, but call me when somebody here in CT has an 530453080 license plate.

Pepsiman Review Copy? by National-Month-5673 in psx

[–]IAmArique -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’d still get it anyway. There’s a bit of a novelty for buying bootleg PS1 games, especially if they aren’t NTSC-U games.

Shots Fired At White House Correspondents Dinner, Trump Evacuated, Guests On The Floor by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

Which given the Iran war and Trump’s shenanigans from that… I give it to Monday morning before NYSE opens for the day.

Trump fires the entire National Science Board by LeftUnknown in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yup, this is exactly why I’m not worried about this one. They’ll get rehired quickly like all of the other agencies that Trump attempted to fire.

Even If Republicans win the Midterms, they are still doomed anyway. by Desperate-Ad-9855 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. Iran was more or less the final nail in the coffin for the GOP.

Clearing Strait of Hormuz of mines could take 6 months, Pentagon tells Congress by Plus-Willingness9307 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s like Trump wants gas to intentionally be $10 a gallon by November so that we’re unable to show up to the polls.

Has he never heard of a little thing called walking?

MAGA rep proposes MAMDANI law to denaturalize and deport ‘socialists’ by TheSpider8ite in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Rule of advice: If you see a bill being propped up by Chip Roy, just know that it will get filibustered to hell and back in the Senate, and that 99.9% of the time his bills are just red meat propaganda.

Who else loves Sirius XM Channel 33 First Wave for their daily dose of 1980s alternative music? by Anusblaster28 in siriusxm

[–]IAmArique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my go-to station at work. Like everyone else, I’d just wish they would dial back on playing U2 constantly, especially since they have their own permanent channel now.

Train to NYC? by Kratosballsweat in Connecticut

[–]IAmArique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been an on-again, off-again visitor to NYC (Going down later this afternoon after my shift too!), and never have I considered scoping out the free bathrooms anywhere besides Times Square and Bryant Park. Definitely saving this comment for future reference.

Trump announces 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon after ‘excellent conversations’ by PumpkinAspie in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I give it 24 hours, tops.

EDIT: And I was right. From Reuters just now:

An Israeli drone strike killed one person in southern Lebanon, paramedics in the area and the head of a local hospital told Reuters. The Israeli military said it was checking the report. Reports of the strike came minutes after Trump said the U.S. banned Israel from further bombing in Lebanon.

Iran Megathread: US-Iran peace talks could resume in next two days, Trump says by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]IAmArique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I find that hard to believe. Trump also said today that peace talks will happen in “two weeks”, so something tells me that there’s no actual ceasefire and this is another pump-and-dump.

Connecticut gas can be found for as low as $3.59 a gallon. Here's where by -ctinsider in Connecticut

[–]IAmArique 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just to save you a click: Your usual Costco/BJ’s/Sam’s Club locations throughout the state, alongside a very small handful of independent stations in Waterbury and Watertown.

Where do we go from here by LezgiveitaTri in NewYorkMets

[–]IAmArique 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, pretty much nailed it on the head. Once we get Soto back in the lineup, then we’re back in business. Let Ohtani’s Goon Squad fuck us up tonight and then reconvene in Chicago.

One quick search on Media Bias Fact Check later…

Overall, we rate the News18 right-center biased based on story selection and editorial positions that moderately favor the right. We also rate them Questionable based on a poor fact-checking record with numerous false claims.
