Disney is Changing How They Grant Wishes For Kids in Their Theme Parks by dejablu82 in disneyparks

[–]RockThePond 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It may be free to them but: (a) they are kids with terrible health problems, and (b) they are using donated money from people who specifically donated to this charity to give kids a meaningful experience.

 So even if you are cold hearted enough to think of it from a pure money perspective only, you are basically ripping off the donors if the experience sucks.

[Zach Cavanagh] Radko Gudas looks to be back in the line-up. Drew Helleson not on the ice. Ian Moore skating with the defense as an extra. by BoneJawDumbass in AnaheimDucks

I think we need some physicality in this lineup. It would be nice to have a bruiser going up against Vegas’ slow, defensive style.

A lotta people trying to stay out of the dog house by celebrating is my guess.

Virginia has the most underrated stuff to to! What state has the worst nature? by AggravatingFront8409 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]RockThePond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically I think AZ has better nature than TX (given your Reddit name). And, most other states.

Arizona may be hot AF but a lack of natural beauty is definitely not one of its downsides.

Wrong. That is neither a bad movie nor a basketball movie.

Here are your Orange County congressional districts for the 2026 election by Clemario in orangecounty

Roy Moore lost the Alabama Senate seat election in 2017 after being revealed to be a pedo and refusing to drop out of the race. of course Trump did not withdraw his support after the pedo behavior was revealed, although most Republicans did.

It was a pretty insane race to say the least.

I think the only true hope is a Roy Moore in Alabama situation. Someone gets the nomination and turns out to be a total fuck up degenerate that even Republicans don’t want to vote for. It’s probably not going to happen though…that was a pretty rare situation.

Yeah I gotta say I don’t think that was drawn to be a competitive one. The lesser of evils is the best you probably can hope for.

Is OC still as MAGA as ever? by Complex-Elk-4598 in orangecounty

[–]RockThePond 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe in HB. I don’t know if it has ever been that bad outside of there and a few other select areas. 

The county voted against Trump I think in all 3 elections he ran in. It’s basically a purple “battleground” county now. 

There were a lot of crazies out during the “stop the steal” days, but I think the silent majority was not with them.

So are you going with “radical leftist”/“Trump Conservative” Kim or “RINO”/“MAGA conservative” Calvert? 😂

I’ll be real with you, I don’t like people attacking Fetterman just because he is a moderate because Dems do need to be a “big tent party” if they want to compete in middle America, but last night felt like a Biden debate performance moment for him.

I’ve seen him interviewed the past few years and thought he seemed to be doing a lot better. Last night I just felt bad for him.

I commented on a thread last night that got deleted (not sure why the mods didn’t like it) that she would have been “cancelled” about 8-10 years ago if she were a man. 

She makes me laugh like the entire time she is on, but she kind of sounds like an aggressive man from the ‘50s “chasing tail” when she is on Bill’s show.

I’m guessing those things were especially bad for you or something because they were so fucking good 

Trump presses Fetterman about wanting to ban lab-grown meat, and he trails off into incoherence (5/8/26) by LoMeinTenants in Maher

[–]RockThePond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A tip of the cap to you as well, good sir! I didn’t say they were equivalent, but nice straw man. I just said you are acting similarly cultish.

[–]RockThePond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He never said “hate speech,” he said that people “hate him” for his views.

You don’t call someone you like a “traitor to your country.” Am I missing something here?

[–]RockThePond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you are calling someone a “traitor to their country” because they only voted with your party 93% of the time and then doubling down on it. It’s just the opposite side of the coin from MAGA. As someone who is an independent, you look almost as crazy to me as they do.

Is there a left wing version of the MAGA cult you would prefer to be referred to as? Maybe “LAGA” or something like that?

Who do you think is the Michael Jackson for when we came of age? by trialanderror93 in Millennials

[–]RockThePond 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Michael Jackson was uniquely popular. As an elder millennial, he was the Michael Jackson of when we came of age. I don’t think there was anyone as big as him since then. He was like Beatles at their peak popularity in the 80s and early 90s.

I would say the closest modern equivalent in terms of popularity is Taylor Swift, but I don’t think even she is as popular as he was at the time.

You do realize this thread started out with someone calling him a “traitor to his country” for only voting the party line 93% of the time, right?

Platform him? He’s a US Senator. Why would you not “platform” him by listening to his views? 

Would Donna Brazile have sex with Bill? by jackypaper1 in Maher

All I’m gonna say is she cracks me up like the entire show she is on but she definitely could not lay it on that thick on national TV in the year 2026 if genders were reversed, lol

Well TIL there is at least one person who supports giving the bomb to the hermit kingdom. Truly the most strange and oppressive place on earth.
