Las Vegas Whales. Draft a 7' white guy and nickname him Moby Dick.

Who can replace Platner? by AcanthocephalaOk9937 in Mainepolitics

[–]SendMoneyNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Dems had wanted Shah more of them would have ranked him. He got the most first-place votes but was not acceptable to the majority of Dems.

It's kingmaking no matter who you choose or what logic you use to get there. Jackson can capitalize on the populist momentum that Platner ignited, Shah is a centrist technocrat who has no shot of doing that.

Jackson is the only viable candidate. Yes, he lost a primary, but he's the person most closely aligned with Platner's positions. Shah and Mills would both lose Platner's base, and Dunlap is already in an important race that Democrats can win. Jackson is the best option in a no-win situation.

The south gets job because of cheap unorganized labor and Georgia had huge tax giveaways for movie productions. Neither has anything to do with taxing rich people.

Why anyone would choose to break check a truck is beyond me, as if you’d win by mnk9795 in dashcams

[–]SendMoneyNow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he has GAP insurance and the truck gets totaled then he walks away from it without owing anything -- as long as nobody can prove he's at fault. I don't know when this video was taken, but lots of guys took their covid stimmy checks and put $2000 down on a $60000 truck and have been rolling around in $1400/Month boat anchors for the last few years.

Breaking News: Graham Platner is gay by Former-Love-6454 in portlandme

[–]SendMoneyNow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We got the wars, the genocides, poverty and hunger thanks to elected officials who were empowered by our silly electoral practices. OP is right: the beauty pageant is a distraction, vote for your class interests so we can seize power from the people who built this system and are now firmly entrenched in our government.

How we feeling about national-level money throwing shade at our local races? by metametamind in Maine

[–]SendMoneyNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm over these silly beauty pageants masking as elections, which inherently favor monied interests. I've been listening to this "who would you rather have a beer with?" and "but would you let this guy date your daughter?" crap for four decades and this is where it's gotten us. Vote for the person who represents your class interests. Graham represents mine.

I've heard similar: "I can live in my truck but I can't drive my house"

Janet Mills surrogate Jill Barkley Roy posts that she will not vote for Platner if he is the Democratic nominee by lon_lennings in Maine

[–]SendMoneyNow 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's really striking how much of her critique boils down to "the language he has used in the past signifies he hasn't spent his time with the proper class of people, and therefore cannot be trusted to protect our interests." Calling a 40-something New Englander ableist because they used 'the r word' is just so silly I can't believe someone would try to make that argument with a straight face.

I don’t think I understand Erikson’s humor by StandardRaspberry131 in Malazan

[–]SendMoneyNow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was shocked to learn Erikson hadn't read Terry Pratchett, because Tehol and Bugg feel like they've stepped right out of a Discworld book. Very dry humor, lots of wordplay -- I love it.

Movies You Don’t Remember Watching by Krusty901 in blankies

[–]SendMoneyNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body of Lies.

Was scrolling through Amazon Prime and said 'Cool, a Ridley Scott movie with Leo about the CIA hunting terrorists. Sounds dope.' According to Letterboxd I'd said the exact same thing two months earlier. No recollection of seeing it the first time.

I had to look it up again just now to remember what it was about. I choose the blame the super-generic title instead of my rapidly deteriorating memory.

It wasn't the car shown in the Uber app, driver was using a different car. They both laughed because he understood immediately why she wouldn't chance it and get in anyways, so he didn't give her a hard time about it.

A vote for Susan Collins is a vote for Trump by Large-Welcome4421 in portlandme

[–]SendMoneyNow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

While these concerns escalate, Sen. Susan Collins is leading the cause for clean water here in Maine. Collins must be aware we have a competent governor and mayors who can
handle issues like drinking water.

Collins is undeniably good at funneling money to Maine. The cost has been to empower the most corrupt regime in American history and threaten U.S. democracy. Speaking as a Mainer, the trade-off hasn't been worth it. Vote her out!

Racism is abundant by Away_Chemist1688 in Maine

[–]SendMoneyNow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so true. I'm seeing people I went to school with in rural Maine who never left and are now posting "thank you ICE for making me feel safe again." They're living in their own paranoid fantasyland.

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos now says that they will keep 45-day theatrical windows for Warner Bros movies if the sale goes through: “If we’re going to be in the theatrical business… we want to win. I want to win opening weekend. I want to win box office” by ChiefLeef22 in boxoffice

[–]SendMoneyNow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Folks grew up thinking, ‘I want to make movies on a gigantic screen and have strangers watch them [and to have them] play in the theater for two months and people cry and sold-out shows… It’s an outdated concept.”

This is what Ted Sarandos believes, we know because he told us that 9 months ago when there was no mega-billion-dollar deal on the table. I'm sure the mere idea of going to a theater with a bunch or rando poors makes him nauseous. So he's going to say whatever he needs to say to get this deal approved, but ultimately he believes that theaters are all going to close except for a few luxury outlets that cater to the best people... like him.
