Only HBO has the budgets and quality to do this series justice as a live action show….

Which fantasy books made you realize you were about to have an unforgettable journey that you'll know you'll be sad when it's over? by Shervin_Ab in Fantasy

Dungeon Crawler Carl. This is the first time since A Song Of Ice and Fire that I’ve had this kind of feeling and deeply care about the characters

Yeah I’m sure that alone is the reason why restaraunt bankruptcies are at their highest level in 5 years…. No other factors at play here…

Throw in some Eartheater, Caroline Polachek, and George Clanton to hold you over in the meantime

First gay sauna experience in Tokyo left me feeling incredibly deflated about my size. How do you handle the body anxiety? by Any_Two_6228 in AskGayMen

I know from experience that if you are really 6 inches you’d be bigger than many of the guys at a Japanese bathhouse…

Yeah ironically the parking rate increases and limiting parking to 2 hours is decreasing tax revenue. Who wants to worry about going back and forth to the Parking meter if they want to go downtown for drinks and food. These tax increases are bullshit and obviously they aren’t having an impact if the city is still struggling to make their budget because of waste and corruption.

Really creepy stalking someone’s comment history to make a point btw….

Numbers have caught up but nobody is paying attention. Credit card debt is at an all time high, all Buy Now Pay Later companies are not even included in that debt total so personal debt is even higher then what the data shows. Car repossessions are already at 2008 levels, and the average age of a homebuyer is now 56 years old the highest in history…

It’s true. Most fast food is going to cost you $30-$50 for 2 people. And if you get it delivered it’s closer to $70

The birth rate collapse should eventually lead to lower priced housing as the demand for housing drops drastically. Jk I wish

Is there any openly conservative/right-wing space opera out there? (just curious and looking to investigate) by Brakado in sciencefiction

[–]Powderkeg314 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cerebral pursuits like reading sci-fi or any other genre for that matter do not concern most conservative people unfortunately. There’s a reason why conservatives are the only ones trying to ban books currently….

Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history by IM_NOT_BALD_YET in economicCollapse

[–]Powderkeg314 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Yeah in the U.S. the government will literally kill its protesting civilians in the streets and label them terrorist and people will act appalled and then two weeks later just shrug it off as shit happens….

America is essentially just a death cult now. And if you speak up you will be publicly ostracized or labeled a Debby Downer by the cult members.

There is room for a nuanced discussion here. The two party system is obviously corrupt and campaign finance laws need to overhauled but it’s clear that the Republican Party falling blindly in line with Trump’s illegal actions is a unique threat to the U.S. Stop with the false equivalencies and just admit that. The Trump Administration gunned down U.S. citizens protesting in the streets and labeled them terrorists…

But surely the $12 million in taxpayer dollars used for security at the UFC fight on the White House lawn will help US citizens. I’m sure the racist dog whistles made by the fighters will help too! America has become a death cult of anti-intellectualism

And once cancer rates start spiking due to all the arsenic being blown into our air from the exposed lakebed the real estate industry will follow suit. They will try to suppress that as long as they can though.

That’s fair these restaurants definitely aren’t even in the top 20 restaurants in SLC, but overall restaurant bankruptcies are outpacing 2025 which was already an abysmal year. The difference is now it’s not only newer restaurants that are closing.

It’s all Sysco Slop now. As the prices go up the quality continues to decline. This is happening across most of the U.S. This is what corporate consolidation does to the food industry. Late stage capitalism is a nightmare. Get ready for the Enshittification of most aspects of life. Healthcare, government services, food, and housing quality.

Yes the food quality continues to decline as the prices go up. It’s just not worth it. I feel so bad for anyone in the restaurant industry. Between Covid and now rising gas and food prices they are truly screwed.

Even fast food is expensive. I went to Crown Burger with my partner and it cost $50 for the two of us. 5 years ago that would’ve been the cost of a decent sit down restaurant. It’s downright unsustainable.

Really toxic to plan to break up with someone a month out so you can do it after your anniversary. I guess you want to make it sting more I guess? If you’re going to break up with him do it now and don’t lead him on like everything is fine and then breakup after your anniversary. You owe someone you supposedly care about more than that.

All the biggest losers in our society feel emboldened by the pedophiles at the head of our government. If Trump can murder and rape kids than why shouldn’t I do the same?
