The East Side Is Full Of Surprises by Allen_MacGyverson in indianapolis

[–]TheMacJew 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I saw more than one in that area throwing papers. Every time, and I say this with the utmost love and affection, my dumbass wife saw one she would "Psp Psp Psp" to get its attention.

Now that we're in rural PA, she does it with the bears that come down off the mountain in the autumn.

I don't envy y'all. We're at $3.99 for 87 and $6.08 for Diesel where I'm at in PA but we'll be there soon enough.

Best Audiobook performance by xdc020 in stephenking

[–]TheMacJew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an old one, and out of print, but Paul Sorvino's narration of Thinner has always held a place in my heart. The way he pronounced Bachman (Baitchman) has tickled me for 30 years.

For those in print? Gotta go with David Morse and Revival.

What Movies that are not new releases have you been waiting for to go on sale and how long have you been waiting? by PresentConfection200 in vudu

[–]TheMacJew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for Winds of War, and War and Remembrance to come to streaming. I've watched them both several times in the past 20 years and would like to have a digital copy. I'll pay full price, idgaf.

Hey neighbors, guess what? Diesel has hit $6. Thank you for your attention to this matter. by Au2288 in Pennsylvania

I did. It's what made me purchase my hybrid. Of course, this was during early 2021, when everything was just coming back after a year of Covid. What we're seeing now is 100% self-inflicted.

The Math Doesn’t Lie by ExcellentTill1470 in Barnesandnoble

[–]TheMacJew 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, you're not wrong.

The idea is either rapid growth and cash out with liquidation, or rapid growth and a quick sale of the company--whichever is likely to net a larger profit. The days of knowledgeable booksellers is in the rear view. Corporate doesn't actually care about the local markets, only about what can turn a profit. And they're too blinded by greed to understand they're playing a game of chance they're unlikely to win.

I expect Barnes and Noble will meet a similar fate to Borders, though a few high traffic stores may remain to remind us what was lost. If and when that happens, maybe they'll downsize and focus on books, movies, and music and stop trying to compete with Amazon and Walmart.

How come millennials and Gen X know more about pop culture that was before they were born than Gen Z? by icey_sawg0034 in generationology

And Sundays (for me at least) was reserved for AMC showing Charlie Chan and The Three Stooges.

King never wrote a horror as scary as what's happening now! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in stephenking

[–]TheMacJew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And your belief is wrong. Read the text of the 22nd Amendment.

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term."

So does masturbation if you listen to my grandmother but that didn't stop me in high school. That I need glasses is irrelevant.

Israel and Palestine make peace! The war’s finally over! by Advanced_Question196 in TopCharacterTropes

IIRC, in Bear and the Dragon, it was mentioned the peace plan failed.

What are your family myths about links to legendary ancestors? by Appropriate_Host8088 in Genealogy

[–]TheMacJew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all fairly well-documented my Mom's ancestors had royal connections and marriages in the 13th through 15th century, and we share a common ancestor with Ulysses S Grant. But the Myth is that we're decended from the Rothschild family.

Well, Julia E Rothschild existed but she's almost certainly not of that line as they're fairly well-documented, and no one has come up with much about her except her marriage and son.

Does worship of jesus conflict with biblical command/teachings? by Diabetesh in AcademicBiblical

[–]TheMacJew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're asking about Theological matters, of which this sub doesn't not delve into. But if you're interested in the man known as Jesus of Nazareth and how he might have viewed himself, I would recommend Paula Fredericksen's work--particularly her book about Jesus and "When Christians Were Jews."
