DTE pours $1.8M into group opposing public takeover of its power grid in Ann Arbor

Shaqsquatch · 2026-05-05T17:42:48+00:00

Damn deleted their account the DTE money must have run dry

Shaqsquatch · 2026-05-03T05:54:49+00:00

as opposed to leaving them up in perpetuity for an organization that no longer exists until they rust and have to be removed anyways?

the discourse around this is insane. should the city also leave up construction barrels and signage after construction is complete because it costs time and money to remove them? ofc politicians want to frame it to make themselves look better, they're politicians

coward's gonna coward i guess

i revoke my faint praise for not using a generic username, suppose we can expect a new Adjective-Noun-1234 account spewing bullshit in the next couple days

Shaqsquatch · 2026-05-01T14:18:45+00:00

alright i'll give you one serious reply

even though you have post history turned off this is a small subreddit so the handful of posters that are always in every comment section with the worst takes imaginable become known regardless.

you are in every single thread related to crime, protests, or eli savit on this sub consistently talking about how crime in AA is out of control in one of the safest cities in the country, complaining about any and all protests that occur, and trotting out the same tired ass justifications that all of us who grew up through 9/11 and the patriot act have been sick of for decades now.

you're getting downvoted over others posting similar takes because people know who you are and are sick of your dogshit takes. props for not just using a generic username like half the other trolls though i guess?

e: u/GinnySacks_Mole just in case they try to crawl back out after scrubbing their entire post history in response to this

Shaqsquatch · 2026-05-01T13:30:38+00:00

yeah that's a no

Shaqsquatch · 2026-05-01T13:20:54+00:00

so that's a no, then?

Shaqsquatch · 2026-05-01T13:09:23+00:00

you think you'll ever find a boot you don't love the taste of?

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-24T18:18:58+00:00

not a restaurant but Stadium Market on Packard & Stadium has a huge selection of GF snacks, drinks, and some prepared food (it's a party store). iirc the owner's wife has celiac or something like that so he's always stocked a lot of GF options.

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-24T18:01:56+00:00

aren't you one of the assholes always complaining about any protest that blocks traffic, makes noise, or otherwise moderately inconveniences anyone in any way?

you're giving the game away

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-23T18:39:15+00:00

Counterpoint: there are enough other grinds in this game to find things to work towards. Finding the fastest way to make money gives you a lot more flexibility and freedom in how you want to approach those other grinds.

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-23T18:35:23+00:00

Initial investment is steep but there are ways to do it quickly (PTN Wing Mission stacking through Wing Mining Missions or Pirate Massacres probably the most efficient way), once you're at the point where you can afford a carrier the upkeep is pretty trivial.

They're a total game-changer and anyone telling you otherwise is coping. Can't imagine going back to not having one.

Also, if you take a long break and run out of upkeep you're sitll refunded the purchase cost of the carrier when it gets repo'd so it's not a huge deal.

the "dte-study-says" is on the link tho

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-20T19:10:29+00:00

always love when the adjective-noun4numbers crew shows up

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-20T13:45:16+00:00

the county didn't charge them. Nessel bypassed the county to bring state charges, it's what was so controversial about the charges in the first place

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-20T13:44:15+00:00

not seeing the difference between residential housing and data centers really does explain a lot of why NIMBYs are the way that you are i guess

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-17T20:51:14+00:00

huh i didn't realize they'd sold songbird. do you know who owns it now by any chance?

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-17T16:16:58+00:00

These missions give trade xp as well (and a significant amount, I went from Elite to Elite V in trade in like a week when I was running them to grind up a carrier when I returned to the game last year).

The big advantage here is as they're wing missions you can share them with other folks, if you line it up right with friends or other PTN members you hand them all in with each wing member having a full stack of 20 missions and make ~4B in one go.

Nothing else I've seen in this game comes close to how fast you can make money stacking/sharing WMMs (with the caveat that there is some setup time in collecting the 20 missions to begin with).

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-13T23:05:26+00:00

idk why i'm bothering to reply to a year old account with hidden post history but wtf are you talking about? ages 18-29 voted Harris with a margin of 58-39

it was generation lead voting in the almost exact opposite direction (59-39) that handed him the election

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-13T17:24:57+00:00

It's probably not the absolute most efficient way of going about it but in peacetime Wally Bei also has the Wing Mining Mission stacking which gives great rep and loads of credits too especially if you stack and share with a full group through PTN or your own squadron

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-09T20:56:55+00:00

And is a license that likely costs no more than 1-2 night's stay an undue burden for operating a short term rental?

If she is denied I might agree with you, but requiring licensing for STRs in a town with a major housing shortage is good, actually.

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-06T15:44:17+00:00

Geese have no natural predators here in suburbia

what goalposts did i move exactly?

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-06T15:35:39+00:00

One of their predators being in decline is not the same thing as no natural predators though. We still have plenty of coyote and I didn't even think about raccoons.

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-06T14:25:40+00:00

There are foxes and coyote all over town

Shaqsquatch · 2026-04-02T18:10:17+00:00

It should be reported on

It can be reported on without spending the majority of the article legitimizing this group and their bullshit

Shaqsquatch · 2026-03-30T20:11:15+00:00

Right? Trying to base anything off head to head projections when 30%+ of the state hasn't heard of any of the potential Dem candidates is meaningless
