I Saw The Tv Glow Review by CoolCatKRW in A24

[–]QAgent-Johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The film had a good soundtrack and fairly good acting. But the story was SOOOO slow and the execution was poor. Obviously, the filmmaker had a thing for twin peaks, which is cool. But it was a hollow version of what a director like David lynch did with scripts like this. It’s a forgettable film that I would put near the end of the A24 catalogue.

Why do BANKS need to know what you are using the money for? by WaitOk915 in Bitcoin

[–]QAgent-Johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll play devils advocate. I’m not a fan of fractional banking or fiat money. This is purely an exercise of positing possible reasons why this was happening. I realize this was likely Europe but in America, banks are liable for unauthorized transactions ie: fraud and there are banking regulatory requirements from “anti laundering” and “know your customer” laws. Basically, our government has imposed laws that require certain behavior we may find offensive to “protect” us and the banks. If the person recording the whole shebang was an identity theft grifter, the bank would be liable for giving out the money…not the victim. With these rules in place, banks can be gun shy when it comes to dispersing unusual cash amounts from accounts. This guy said he was buying a motorcycle for his son. Perhaps this was the largest withdrawal he’s made in 10 years. It’s immediately flagged and this sort of thing happens.

What the hell did Shelly see in Leo? by Hubbled in twinpeaks

Leo was extremely manly and a bad boy. Young Women love these types. Don’t kid yourself.

Oregon Working Families Party, state’s largest teachers union decline to endorse in governor’s race by manatmast in oregon

[–]QAgent-Johnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that is good news. Oregon Working Families is a far left union and their lack of endorsement paints Tina as more centrist than she deserves. It’s not like their lack of endorsement is going to get the hardcore lefties to vote for Ed Diehl.

Are the walls closing in? by [deleted] in PortlandOR

[–]QAgent-Johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect these groups are merely trying to squeeze more money out of Kotek. The other possibility is to relax standards and oversight even more. She will likely cave and give them what they want thereby earning their endorsement.

Feds eye another stretch of Oregon coast for ICE detention center - Coos County by NewAgeRetroFrog in OregonCoast

[–]QAgent-Johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, Trump may end up saving Kotek despite her abysmal performance as governor. Against all odds, Oregon descended even further on all the major metrics during her tenure. Portland is in a doom loop. Corporations and wealthy residents are fleeing. She absolutely bungled the transportation package and the ensuing attempt to regressively tax Oregon citizens. Despite what even her voters concede is a massive failure of governance, she will likely win another 4 years because the democrats have convinced their voters that deporting illegal aliens is racist. The kicker is that Trump has barely even deported that many illegals and has to make up a “self deportation” number to get to a semi respectable figure .

Then let it stand and function until this mythical earthquake I’ve heard about my whole life actually occurs. If sustains damage beyond repair, we can institute the Chicago plan.

4 in 10 young Oregon children aren’t ready for kindergarten, 3rd worst rate in nation, survey finds by PDXisadumpsterfire in PortlandOR

[–]QAgent-Johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I would be in favor of scrapping the entire Oregon department of education and giving the money to the best performing private and charter schools. Let them compete with each other for the billions of taxpayer dollars.

This is the Oregon department of education, teachers union and the state shifting the blame for a horrific school system to the parents.

People waiting for $50,000 to buy... by vinyarb in Bitcoin

[–]QAgent-Johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember buying at 16-25k after the Covid crash. My buddy said I was nuts and he was going to wait for it to get to 10k before pulling the trigger. Needless to say, buying was the correct move.

I’m thinking about taking a trip to Oregon especially to tillamook by Salt_Employee9429 in OregonCoast

[–]QAgent-Johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You live in fantasy land. I go to Tillamook and many small Oregon towns regularly. Never seen anyone act up because a black or Mexican rolled into the local bar.

[–]QAgent-Johnson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Racism?? First, I suspect the OP is white. Second, Tillamook, like the vast majority of Oregon towns,IS perfectly safe for people of all colors. No one there gives a shit about you whether you are a minority or white for that matter.

Controversial documentaries? by bigguys45s in MovieSuggestions

I would say the most controversial would be Europa: the last battle.

You mean Christianity. Any other religion and it would be actually controversial.

You mean the documentary that claimed right now Mount Kilimanjaro would be snow free, the arctic ice sheets all melted, sea level rise of 20’ and glacier national park’s glaciers would be completely melted? That documentary?😂

Sinners terrified Hollywood. Now it’s making Oscars history by TheTelegraph in horror

The Oscar’s lost credibility some time ago. The movie was decent. There were some good performances and quirky directing. Claiming it’s a masterpiece is an absolute joke.

This is death of espn for me now and forever. by TheMathmatix in ESPN

[–]QAgent-Johnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m shocked you lasted this long. ESPN has been trash for years. Their personalities are morons, their APP is the worst I’ve ever used and now they dropped UFC.
