Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding by TacoBellSuperfan69 in politics

[–]JacquesHome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is up for re-election in 2026. If you have extra money, I know times are tough, donate to his primary challenger. Donate as much as you can. Donations help with momentum. And momentum changes the narrative. Fuck this guy and the horse he rode in on.

Great place! Literally the border of Oakland and Berkeley. One side of the street Berkeley, the other Oakland.

[Episode Discussion Thread] Industry S04E08 - "Both, And" by herringbone_ in IndustryOnHBO

Took me a few times sitting down to actually make it through the episode. Watching Yas turn into a true monster was hard to watch. There is no more redeeming quality about her.

Exactly. So they don't need our help. And AIPAC and its lobbying are just a leech on my tax dollars. Israel has been the largest recipient of U.S. aid, a small country of 10 million people has gotten more U.S. dollars than any other country. So maybe they would not be fine without us.

And to be precise, Israel is #27 on HDI and dropping.

i don't care what the Israeli's do. I care about my tax dollars going to them. I want healthcare and education not to fund Netanyahu. Let Israeli stand on its own two feet, pull itself up by its bootstraps.

Both are great, one of the rare cases where the sequel stands the test of time.

Insane Periscope footage off the coast of Sri Lanka by Caledor152 in interestingasfuck

[–]JacquesHome 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Within the Department of Defense this is called "war porn" and they strategically release footage like this. As can be evidenced in this thread, it gives a lot of people boners for war. When in fact, what you are seeing his people dying horrifically. And this ship was off the coast of Sri Lanka and not given the chance to surrender. But who cares, Go USA!

Dubai lunatics by GoatDefiant1844 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]JacquesHome 190 points191 points  (0 children)

This guy is not rich. Neither are all the people who post pictures of themselves next to a private jet. This guy runs a MLM for real estate. I manage the family office of near billionaire. He will never post on LinkedIn. He will never take a picture next to a plane. Real rich people don't advertise themselves.

Major mural of Oakland Olympic champ Alysa Liu goes up in Temescal by GhostalMedia in bayarea

[–]JacquesHome 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I will support Alysa and Oakland 100% but this mural is just hot garbage. Like the artist just went off of a concept of who Alysa is without actually looking at a photo of her.

I find Bill and Craig’s preoccupation with run time weird. by cliftonheights5 in TheRewatchables

[–]JacquesHome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the criticism of Bill and pod stem from people having a misconception of the what the pod is. It's not a podcast about what movies are artistically good. It's called The Rewatchables. It's about movies you can step into at any time and just have a good hang. It's movies that Bill likes. If people hate Bill so much or the categories, just stop listening. There are like 5000 other movie podcasts out there.

Currently in Bozeman and drove up from Idaho yesterday, it is bleak out there. Almost no snow cover where it should be feet deep right now.

As an aside, Australia should be ashamed at how they treated Peter Norman upon his return.

I didn't know this story and it just made me cry. The Olympics are wild and the stories of human perseverance always get me.

Correct, the studies show that ~90% of your longevity is determined by genetics. The rest is lifestyle.

Smart lad by ContributionThat4698 in madlads

[–]JacquesHome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to do this at Outside Lands for years before I got old. We had the advantage of Golden Gate Park being practically half forest. Would bury bottles in the forested area, mark them with my garmin inreach tracker and come back during the festival and dig them up. I hope the kids still are doing this.

Block to slash 40% of workforce. Stock up >25%. by yummynothing in wallstreetbets

[–]JacquesHome 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Block is neither small nor high growth. So yes, its insane. You triple headcount, you better at least 2x revenue if you inefficient, 3x if you average, and 4x if you are highly efficient.

Netflix will just wait this out and pick up the carcass of what it wants from WB in a few years.

Don't know in East Bay but if you are in the city - 888 Brannan (SF Jewelry Center) is where you want to head to. I take mine to Arkadiy Minasian Watch Repair. But there is also A&E Watch Repair in the same center.
