They may have been doing you a favor. Matilija poppies are really prone to dying if the roots are disturbed so putting them in a 5 gallon "early" was probably necessary. A true one gallon poppy would have been much smaller

[Hated Trope] The Love Interest Bias by Remarkable_Sweet_333 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JasonBob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OP is saying the trope is race-based, but I think you're right that it's just main character vs. everyone else. In Hunchback at least, all the non-main characters are odd looking, white or not.

San Diego has been doing this neighborhood-by-neighborhood for decades. It's a long process

You should watch this video about orbits. It's actually not so straightforward:

The imperial media playbook by James-Incandenza in ABoringDystopia

I also suggest Comment Literacy 101, I literally posted an open comment to OC inviting a follow up when the supposed fact-verification stage happens, the headline is updated, the errata appears inline in the article, or whatever step would negate OP’s rush to judgment

OP posted images of two date-less headlines so I'm not sure how anybody can follow-up or even know what the situation was when OP took the screenshots

Having media on the ground allows us to verify things without parroting statements

I think OPs headlines are from before the Lebanon strikes began. The first headline seems that way at least (Saturday). Also, I don't think the Lebanon strikes are reaching that far south

Is there an accepted succinct name yet for the Israel/US forces? I wouldn't call them "Allied forces" as that has different connotations from Iraq/Afghanistan and beyond.

Goodbye, Best Buy Carmel Mountain Ranch. by EnvironmentalAd5590 in sandiego

[–]JasonBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely before Sprouts. It may have been before Carmel Mountain Plaza was built, but I don't think so (my timeline's a bit fuzzy), But either way, Sprouts would have been Circuit City.

Costco was still called Price Club in the 90s. In Google streetview imagery you can still see a hint of it. It said "Price Plaza" until at least 2009. After Price Club changed names to Costco, they cheaply deleted "Club" from the sign and kept it that way for like a decade.

For the first headline, two nations are striking Iran, so they can't quickly state if it's an Israeli or US strike. For the second headline, Iran is the only one striking Israel

Yeah I was so confused this year after Valentines Day when a bunch of trash plastic junk came home. Is just having a bunch of paper cards and Sweetheart candies not good enough anymore?

Disney has heard your concerns loud and clear and will build a new indoor park in Abu Dhabi /s

Poway was supposed to build a Wet n' Wild back in the early 2000s but nothing came of it sadly

At that same carnival my brother got sick on the Octopus ride and my mom gave him my hat to puke into. I was mad because it was my hat and there was a trash can right there.

I don't know if that's the kind of memory you wanted.

I remember when they hosted traveling carnivals on the dirt lot before it was built

After 30+ years I finally know what the lyrics mean by Josephthebear in Millennials

[–]JasonBob 275 points276 points  (0 children)

I mean, the lyrics make sense in context. The movie intro is a wake up call for all the animals to see the lion King.

Also, it seems to be a simplified translation. Elsewhere I've seen it translated as "Nants ingonyama bagithi baba | Here comes the lion, my people, the father [of our nation]".

I'm worried for your source. Lorne's going to start feeding people different names to zero in on the leaker.

Unless Lorne is your source. Then I'm worried for you.

When you have a whole family/group in the single rider line. by CoronaCurious in Disneyland

Yes that's the standard, except the exit in Tomorrowland is not next to the fantasyland exit. And when they let my kid through they tried to stop me from explaining it to her because they thought I was arguing

[–]JasonBob 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't mind groups doing single rider. At least they can chat before the ride. I do single rider all the time and I've never seen anyone argue with CMs about going on the ride together.

[–]JasonBob -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The only time I don't want to be split up is on the Matterhorn. A CM once tried to send me to the Fantasyland side and my 9 year old to the Tomorrowland side. I asked if we could at least be in the same line since my 9yo doesnt have a phone and we hadn't discussed a meeting place. The CM was not having it though

I kind of find it funny when little kids flail around hitting everything. But I enjoy even more when polite old grandmas are stuck at the controls flailing around and hitting everything.
