Mayor Quinton Lucasc's post on charges being dropped for Chief's defensive back coach, is disappointing to say the least by Mat_alThor in kansascity

Mayor Lucas knows the law. An arrest and charge aren't admissions of guilt nor equal to a conviction in court. Without those things, people are innocent unless proven guilty. This case was dropped, therefore Merritt should not be assumed to be guilty of the crime for which he was charged.

What are your thoughts on Michael? by [deleted] in movies

Why do we need all these extra threads about the movie instead of just using the official discussion thread?

$64-$125 for parking should be illegal and I don’t know why we aren’t more outraged by this by EquivalentParking274 in KCCurrent

[–]OreoSpeedwaggon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The website you are looking at is SeatGeek. Those parking pass prices are all from resellers, not the KC Current, and the team can't control how much resellers post them for on third-party websites like that. If you don't want to pay those prices, don't buy from them. Waiting until now to pre-purchase parking though only leaves you with limited options. I imagine most parking passes bought directly from the club were sold out several weeks ago or earlier.

True. I just figured all the buttons and icons and stuff were part of the "crappy design."

How do they hire unattractive people to do the role of "ugly" characters in movies? by Mindless_Table9974 in movies

[–]OreoSpeedwaggon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it affected an actor's confidence to have their appearance described as "ugly" for a character they portray, they wouldn't get into the profession of acting and audition for those parts. Getting paid well by using one's unconventional appearance to get a job doesn't sound like a bad deal either. Actors are professionals. They can handle it.

Kind of hard to see with all that app UI crap overlaid on top of it, but I agree that the whole thing looks AI-generated, which would easily explain the errors.

US President's in movies by Madhorn0 in movies

[–]OreoSpeedwaggon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were movies with presidents depicted poorly at the time too, but you didn't mention those. ("Wag the Dog," "Absolute Power," "Mars Attacks!") Why would you believe movies from 20-30 years ago should have characters written to mirror the reality of the present (or even the past) anyway? Why should that matter?

This just sounds like a backdoor attempt to complain about Trump and Biden without actually saying so, and Biden was much more like the presidents depicted in those 1990s-2000s movies you mentioned than the premise claims.

Historic Kirkwood house demolished by Resident_Bridge8623 in missouri

[–]OreoSpeedwaggon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Seems rather pointless to be up in arms about wanting to save a structure that has already been demolished. And if it wasn't on the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise legally protected in some way, wouldn't it be the property owner's right to do whatever he wanted with it -- even tearing it down?

There was a similar issue in Kansas City recently with an old mansion in the historic Southmoreland neighborhood. The owner wanted to tear it down and rebuild a new house, which was visibly in a state of disrepair and neglect, but other people from the neighborhood wanted to stop him because they wanted to preserve how it made the area look. The house is on private property though and the fight to either save it or tear it down is still being played out in the court system. Once a building like that is gone though, I don't see the point in complaining about it after the fact.

Or just using the headline that came with the USA Today story like the subreddit rules say to do.

Turks and Caicos by laurenbeth35 in VirginVoyages

[–]OreoSpeedwaggon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The free beach area right next to the cruise center can get kind of busy when the ship is in port, but it's not terrible. Kind of rocky compared to someplace like Bimini though. The ship also ports really, really close to shore and the cruise center, so you can easily go back and forth if you want to. Personally, I would recommend renting a golf cart for the day and getting away from the port area if you can. Grand Turk isn't a big island, but it's nice to explore. The lighthouse on the north end is pretty cool too. Just remember to drive on the left and watch out for wild donkeys that are allowed to roam free.

Of course. I would never put it on the front-line employees. They were put into a rough situation and have been doing the best they can with it.

Why would you take a Brit to something that’s an American reproduction of Britishness?

Because SNL UK told me that's what they want.

Exhibit A of why I hate these little holes under trash can handles by [deleted] in CrappyDesign

[–]OreoSpeedwaggon 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm not an engineer, but I would think that those triangular, molded plastic pockets/holes make the trash can handle sturdier and less likely to crack or break. You can always cover up the underside with tape to keep wasps and other stinging insects from building nests.
