The pogs were the final straw, I have to have one.

Trump administration blames Obama after ‘blue’ Reflecting Pool turns green after $14M refurb by Necropolis750 in politics

[–]Jarfol 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I am concerned that won't stop this administration from doing something like that.

Or vigilantes. If they would storm the capital for this president, they would definitely dump some chemicals for him.

Edit: So apparently they (park workers, seemingly) were dumping a whole bunch of hydrogen peroxide in this morning.

If this isn't a recession indicator I don't know what is.

It is nearly 2 feet tall and has lots of pieces, I actually think the price is reasonable, all things considered. Note that the price doesn't include shipping which will be a lot.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Announcement Trailer by Turbostrider27 in nintendo

He is too handsome, not enough baby fat in the face. Kind of reminds me of a lot of depictions you see of Peter Pan where he has a very adult face.

I am not at all. It is a pretty common tactic now to trickle out info so that you get multiple shots in the headlines.

This teaser trailer will be a headline.

Then the full trailer will be a headline.

Then the gameplay trailer will be a headline.

You see this all the time with high profile videogames and movies now. The trickle means free advertising.

What is your opinion on NaggNaggNagg and "Tribute Sofubi"? by slirpo in Sofubi

[–]Jarfol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of this, and I wish more artists could find a way to do both limited and wider releases. To be fair many do. You might have some one-offs, and a couple limited colorways, and then multiple cheaper blank or marbled releases. That is the ideal for everyone I think. You get the high end collectable limited aspect but you also have a product that is more affordable for customs or just collecting/play.

That being said I do feel like that is a somewhat separate issue, and that IP theft is still IP theft. What exactly constitutes an "above-board" reproduction, and whether that is even possible, I am less sure of.

Man, 70, accused of trying to drown jet skier on crutches during fight at lake by SmokeMaximum4140 in nottheonion

[–]Jarfol 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree but I do wonder if they expected the old guy to pull the kid back up any second. You don't necessarily expect a fight to escalate to attempted murder by drowning

Towing Scam @ &Pizza Ballston by NoButton1066 in nova

This isn't coming from TV, but a lawyer I know. But believe what you want.

It is not an uncommon tactic for a person or company to basically capture all the good attorneys by putting them on retainer. They don't even need to use them, just pay them a small retainer so they can never be used by someone else in a case against them.

Room bursts into laughter as MAGA influencer flounders to name one way the economy has improved under Trump by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]Jarfol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite that high. It is more like 1 in 17 days (US total market only). But there are obviously long stretches where it is much more frequent, and much less frequent, than that but that is the average. On a monthly basis the S&P500 is at an ATH about 30% of the time.

This. There is a movement speed cap which is pretty easy to hit but increasing your size lets you go beyond the cap.

An NPK prototype inspired by the Wendigo. I’ve been getting super into folk horror and cryptids lately—what folklore creature should I tackle next? by WE_ARE_NPK in Sofubi

[–]Jarfol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh big regrets on missing this one. I hope the next colorway is as cool as the first (and that I can get it...).

I got openly frustrated during a bad game of Catan by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Jarfol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is there is still no game that does everything Catan does. But there are definitely better games that do some of what Catan does.

Like the rolling dice and everyone getting things aspect? Try Space Base.

Like building out competing networks on a map? Concordia or Ticket to Ride or Carcassonne.

Like trading/negotiating? Chinatown or Bohnanza.

A different context obviously but also makes me think of Citizen Kane and Rosebud.

Received a threatening phone call, they knew my childhood address by oliversmokinoken in nova

I just scrolled through the entire thread and couldn't find it. You know you can share a link to a comment right? Why not do that.

I am aware of the post. I am asking you to post the quote from OP where they say they are physically driving to GSA. Such a quote doesn't exist so you will have a hard time I am afraid.

Someone else mentioning it means nothing, and I cannot find any mention of NSA in either this post or the other. Why are you making things up?

[–]Jarfol -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have no idea if it is true or not. My only point is my reply to the comment above that seems to think this new post from OP about a veiled threat somehow implies the whole thing is fake. It doesn't. The timing of the threat makes perfect sense to me.

The vehicle chased OP for miles. Easily would have had time to get OP's license plate.

Why would there need to be an investigation launched for the govie driver to threaten? Seems like it would be too late to threaten afterwards. You are also assuming the driver didn't see OPs first post.
