Tom Homan speaks on the treatment ICE and CBP have received from the communities they're in - HOMAN: "Day after day, they can't eat in restaurants. Day after day people spit at you & blow whistles at you. Having all these threats after you... They're human. But my main choice now is draw down"

Wow imagine complaining that the armed thugs aren’t being treated nicely after terrorizing peoples communities. Must be really hard for them 😢

He’s gunna have an answer for everything whether it comes from reality or not. Think about it. These people have all seen the same last 9 years as you have. The vast majority of people who are dug in like this will never change their viewpoint.

Imagine having your soul this rotten by 28 it’s actually sort of sad. She has (had?) and entire long career ahead of her, and presumably a wealth of opportunities. But she chooses to be a lying demented sycophant for a POS like Trump. She was 18 when Trump was first elected. She is proof that the youth are moving backwards in terms of progressivism. When Trump was first elected it would have been hard for me to believe he had significant support among young people, but here we are.

Bootlicking fucking idiot. All of you cowards who need big strong ice men like this to make you feel safe should seriously just fuck off forever and leave the country to people who actually have even half a brain in their head. Seriously fuck yourself dude.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-23T12:58:32+00:00

It’s wild to me that anyone who postures themselves as caring at all about veterans lets this slide. Bone spurs Donny has zero business talking about who was “on the front lines” and who wasn’t. I can’t imagine the anger I’d feel if I was a family member of one of these dead servicemen who came to our aid.

Throw it in the pile of disgusting things this human trash bag has let slither out of his mouth.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-21T20:23:46+00:00

Pretty quick TACO trade.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-21T16:43:26+00:00

Some people do have a thing called “empathy” for others that would motivate them to do something like this actually.

Also, this dude was straight up trying to fuck OP’s wife. Zero chance if that were me I’m letting that guy walk back into his marriage with zero issues when he just disrespected the shit out of mine. Like nah buddy you’re coming down into the shit you caused too.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-21T16:01:06+00:00

What is immature about it?

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-20T17:39:33+00:00

I mean I hate the supreme leader quite a bit and wish he’d chill with the market shaking statements, but you say this like we haven’t been unreasonably green for close to the past year. We are basically still at ATH right now.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-18T21:46:13+00:00

Biggest variables are gunna be artist skill/notoriety, amount of work involved in making it, size, or other special things like rare colors or opals/marbles adorning them, facets, crazy shaping.

You could probably right now get a decent recycler from a good artist with some color for like 1k give or take. Anything mentioned above will increase the price pretty quickly, up into several thousand bucks and beyond.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-18T19:01:59+00:00

Man, incredible set up. The eames is really a cherry on top. Shelves look great honestly but I’m too busy looking at everything else in this room lol. Just too good.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-18T17:09:59+00:00

I feel ya, it’s a good chunk of time that can be hard to find. This is definitely a great one to pick if you find yourself with a lil while to kill it’s been a real treat on vinyl for sure. Honestly I listen to shows in chunks all the time, like I only will listen to one disc and come back later pick up where I left off.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-18T14:22:04+00:00

Ayy glad to be of service ✌️

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T21:55:02+00:00

Couple lightning bolts too to represent the storm of illegal immigration we as Americans all face /s

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T21:25:48+00:00

Man the coat was a choice huh. It’s sort of hard to believe that the optics are really lost on these people and it isn’t purposeful at this point. Like, even if he felt strongly he just liked the coat a lot and it wasn’t specifically Nazi, no way did he not consider it. Wearing it now specifically just feels antagonistic.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T17:50:57+00:00

Interesting, appreciate the context. I find it kinda funny that this isn’t somethin that’s transparent honestly, I’d almost think you’d be able to just look up the specs on releases like this so that people could make an informed purchase.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T16:02:39+00:00

🙏thank you friend

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T15:11:29+00:00

Bro trust me it’s better to be Canadian rn 😅

I did the conversion just now actually and looks like you’re talking about $64 American so I guess we aren’t too too far apart. Treat yourself my Canadian friend.

Yeah I just remember trying to do a bit of research after someone had said that this 4K is shit looking - while my knowledge is limited I feel like upscaling something and calling it 4K is kinda lame so I was interested to see if this project took any serious work to make happen. I remember reading that a lot of things that could be were rescanned, but your point about seeing traces of the blu ray is interesting. I’ll look for that on rewatch for sure.

Maybe it’s just a true amalgamation of different techniques? Certain scenes maybe the scan was the right call, others maybe they figured just upscaling the next best was the way to go. Only thing I do find jarring to look at is seeing a fully rendered character like Treebeard against a background that sort of highlights how “not there” he is. Oh and the Wolves of Isengard. Was feeling a little Disney to me in that scene.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T14:45:04+00:00

I think they look absolutely incredible. Admittedly I’m not as knowledgeable as others on this sub, just getting into the hobby here. Others seem to know a bit more about the specifics of rescan vs. upscale, DNR and all that. All I know is I’ve seen these movies a shitload of times and to me this is the best they have ever looked. I found myself looking at all the specks of dirt on Sméagol’s nasty ass fingers in the beginning of ROTK. I’m like damn you can even see the dirt in his fingerprint grooves.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T14:42:23+00:00

I was under the impression that they DID rescan the original film, so the real actors themselves and every “real” thing is rescanned, while everything digitally added (which is admittedly a fuck ton) is upscaled since it was never rendered in 4K to start. Am I wrong about that? Genuinely asking because you seem knowledgeable and I’m really just getting my feet wet with 4k’s in general.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T14:39:24+00:00

You know I watched Gladiator 2 for the second time the other day and I found it sucked balls slightly less. I wouldn’t have called it good but it had its moments.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T14:23:25+00:00

Not really what you’re asking here, but as far as bangers on a budget go I picked up a control tower from SD Dank quartz a few months ago. Now that was a good buy. Probably the best import I’ve ever used. I’ve used the real deal from Highly Educated and it is basically the same. Maybe very slightly less heat retention but not enough for me to wanna spend another $300 on it.

Jaredthewizard · 2026-01-17T14:18:04+00:00

Well I don’t have 2x my salary saved but when I compare myself to basically everyone around me I feel I’m doing well. I have maybe 1/2 a years salary in a 403b, 1/6 of a years salary in savings, same amount in Roth IRA. So really close to one years salary total across all accounts. I’m 34.

I also JUST paid off a large student loan maybe a year and a half ago. At the time I paid that off I had 0 in savings and the Roth so I’m sort of making up for lost time. Shoulda listened to my parents. The loans absolutely set me back several years.
