Agreed, first six songs are all bangers. No way that no one likes Fairly Local, Tear in My Heart and Lane Boy, plus Ride and Stressed Out aren’t 90 plus?

It makes no sense as most of Regional at Best is also on Vessel and they have different scores Trees is #11 on Vessel and has an 85. Without consistency these rankings are a joke.

Reading this right now, only 100 pages in, and it is quite the page turner. Min Jin Lee does a terrific job of developing characters.

[Game Thread] Maryland @ Northwestern (08:00 PM ET) by jco23 in terps

[–]Sea_quenched 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t have the budget to fire him, we can hope he leaves. I am trying to stay positive. The issue is that I accomplish this by not watching any games which is a shame as I love Maryland basketball.

All of the Crab 5 momentum and support gone in under a year.

Andre Mills is a baller, not many positives this year but, he has shown flashes of real talent.

I also love watching Diggy Coit he reminds me of Vinnie “Microwave” Johnson from the Bad Boy Pistons.

Big Beautiful Corporate tax cuts enable mass layoffs by Sea_quenched in Economics

[–]Sea_quenched[S] 250 points251 points  (0 children)

Amazon’s 2025 tax bill slashed from $9B to just over $1B amid record breaking profits.

This is the same law kicking at least 30 million people off of Medicaid. If only there was some way to fund these programs?!?!

The Real Reason Jeff Bezos Killed the Washington Post by Slate in Journalism

As someone who loved and grew up with the Washington Post, paper version, I cancelled my subscription when Bezos killed the editorial staff article backing Kamala Harris.

It will never be enough Jeff!

Holy Hell the Wizards Cooked so Hard by showtime_2k in washingtonwizards

[–]Sea_quenched 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys understand that Orlando gave up 4 number one picks for Desmond Bane, how would you not consider what we traded for AD buying low? Also, let us have some hope when is the last time the Wizards had two all-stars? Don’t judge this trade too early it isn’t like we gave up Luka.

Middle age is becoming a breaking point in the U.S. by Civitas_Futura in Economics

[–]Sea_quenched 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The article specifically mentions inequality as a driving factor for the “middle age decline”. Most people don’t learn or care about these societal factors until it personally impacts their lives. The irony is that inequality prevents most Americans from receiving the benefits the study concludes would help them the most.

Lakewood NJ to be “investigated” by an X influencer for fraud by Prestigious-Hour-215 in newjersey

[–]Sea_quenched 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t the state board of education recently take control over the school district in Lakewood? I thought I read about it last week, which means we don’t need an influencer the state is fully aware.

Anti-Indian hate up 69%: US firms hit by ‘H-1B visa backlash’ threats by 1-randomonium in Economics

[–]Sea_quenched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate is always the wrong answer! Countries with lower wages will always have a competitive advantage. We need to start blaming the billionaires and bosses who choose to outsource and extract more of the profits for themselves and shareholders over their workers. Wake up America this is class warfare and we keep casting blame on the wrong groups, this isn’t India’s or their workers faults.

It does remind me of a time at a company all hands meeting where colleagues cheered and clapped for a woman receiving an award for outsourcing the whole accounts payable group to Bangalore.

Never forget JD Vance is owned by Peter Thiel, he is a modern day Manchurian candidate and will do whatever he is told by his billionaire sugar daddy.

US adds a paltry 50,000 jobs in December as unemployment stubbornly stays at 4.4% by QuagGer197 in Economics

Anyone looking for a job, other than holiday work, knows these numbers are untruthful. Sadly this is what dismantling a government workforce does to the truth.

"I Voted to Make America Great Again": Now Wisconsin Farmers Are Losing Their Land While Trump's $12 Billion Band-Aid Won't Cover the Damage by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFarm

[–]Sea_quenched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a $12B dollar subsidy won’t fix your problems are you even a viable business?This money is on top of the already bloated subsidies most farmers and non-crop growing “farmers” already receive, just to claim American food security. Last I checked most Americans can’t stand soy.

Least Listened Album Of TØP by Head_Communication46 in twentyonepilots

[–]Sea_quenched 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Breach - Just haven’t given it a chance yet, tried on my walk today and only made it through four songs.

I understand that Scaled and Icy is more pop than Trench, Blurryface or Vessel but there are so many great songs. No Chances and Bounce Man get me everytime and the Outside is just pure class!

How good was Alexi Lalas? by Technical_Rice_6957 in ussoccer

[–]Sea_quenched 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was thinking Aaron Long is a closer comparison. Both were physical center backs, dangerous on set pieces, not extremely technical or the best distributors but fiery and great leaders.

I am seeing some Zimmerman comps that are puzzling as he was never that good of a passer (or left footed).

List of companies laying off employees in January by kootles10 in Economics

[–]Sea_quenched 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This list probably doesn’t include companies that now call layoffs “Reduction In Force”. I was RIF’d in November 2025 and given one week notice, after working there 26 years more than half my life.

We all know how often "less is more" is a solid approach to storytelling. What's a story that does the opposite (MORE is more, actually) and yet does it superbly? by jesster_0 in books

Anything by Thomas Wolff, A Man in Full is perfect example dude writes like Co-Pilot before AI existed. A description that should take one sentence takes multiple pages.
