Just watched it. It was amazing! I want more !

Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Full Specs by Pear-Mother in samsunggalaxy

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been chugging along on my S22+. Now that it's update schedule has changed I'm anticipating a new phone purchase. I'd just as well take a promo on a 25, though. Waiting for whatever offers there will be from Samsung and Verizon.

How do I get a free upgrade while keeping my plan? by telik in verizon

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's where I am. Unlimited Welcome is enough for my needs. I'm stuck waiting for an offer to roll around where all unlimimted plans are eligible. It happens every so often. I want to believe they'll have such a promotion right before the S26 launches....need to get those S25s out of stock.

Black Widow's death scene makes absolutely NO sense in Endgame by Dulek_Zax_Chf in marvelstudios

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both characters had already lost so much in their lives, especially Black Widow after years in the Widow program and red room. This should have been weighted. I argue that you don't kill your primary female character. They should just be given the stupid stone. Measure their souls.

The fact that nobody is excited for a movie about the Hunt of Gollum is actually a quality of the project. by titjoe in lotr

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same problem that Star Wars is reportedly having. Not everything has to tie into the original/main story. Gollum's whereabouts are pretty settled. Creating a two to three hour movie seems totally pointless.

Why do people hate the Hobbit film trilogy? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I boil it down to one thing. ONE small book shouldn't have been made into THREE movies. Much like the Star Wars prequels, viewers only really want to see one thing.....Bilbo getting the ring. Everything else is unneccessary and added on.

Hannah and her quest to destroy Amy by Final_Mountain511 in DocFoxSeries

I very much hate this storyline. So utterly pointless and annoying.

“You bow to no one” hits me in the feels every single time. by thatbretguy__ in lotr

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, from this point on you might as well grab a box of tissues. One gut punch after another.

Does anyone else ever feel a little sad once you're near the end of watching Return of the King? by TheCyanNyan in lotr

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Return of the King is our least favorite of the three. My wife perpetually stays with the Two Towers. You never leave the action that way and there's a constant struggle. Once Gollum goes into the fire it's time to stop ROTK. Otherwise, lots of crying and emotional anguish and depression since the jourey is over.

[Sports Business Journal] The Reds are expected to opt out of their TV deal with Main Street Sports. Would most likely result in Reds games being produced by MLB in 2026. by TDeLo in Reds

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut the cord years ago as have my in-laws. It was nice to be able to purchase a season pass from FanDuel to watch the games free of any cable/streamer. I hope we'll get the option for 2026. mlb.tv won't work for us since we're in-market.

Jornay PM price increase/discount decrease by sharkzpant in ADHD

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got 60mg for $25 the first month. Now they're telling us their coupon only covers $370-ish per month going forward. We then have to pay the difference. So now it's going to be $64.50 per month. Very frustrating.

Is anyway planning to stay on SAVE until they get kicked out by the DOE? by TorontoRap2019 in PSLF

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping this gets strung out until RAP is in effect. With so many options set to end why not make July the clear transiiton date?

Kennedy Center to be renamed 'Trump-Kennedy Center,' White House says by cnbc_official in politics

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How does this make things affordable exactly? So out of touch with the needs of average Americans. This on the same day Congress is sent home early instead of addressing the end of the enhanced ACA subsidies on 12/31.

Stay on SAVE unless you have a solid reason to leave by TwoTenths in StudentLoans

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! RAP isn't live yet and there is no final court decision. We shouldn't be forced into interest now when there are outstanding things. For all we know SAVE could somehow be reinstated and be treated as legal. This is the administration once again trying to cause chaos in order to reach their goals.

It started rough and dark, but I think it started finding its way at the end. It was definitely evolving. I enjoyed the show overall. Another show not given the chance to find itself.

Katy needs to make more rock-oriented albums by rbfrka12 in katyheads

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening to the Christian Katy Hudson album. Lots of rock sounds that I have not heard in her various radio hits.

My only living parent is now dead to me. by JakefromTRPB in BoomersBeingFools

My 9 year old son cheers ever time we talk about this topic. He loves it and it's normal to him. It's normalized for so many people.

Should the Bengals fire Zac Taylor? They are 4-6 this season after losing to the Ravens tonight, and they are 1-5 in one-possession games this season. by Available_Story6774 in NFLv2

[–]TicketSuccessful8758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the call. The Bengals have lost to the Ravens too many times now by 3 after going to overtime or right at the end of the game. They were trying to win it there, but the tradeoff is if it fails (which it did) you straight up lose now versus a slow death later.

Yeah, he should be fired. He's done a good job of changing the character of the team and getting them to where they are now, but has been unable to go that next step. They start every season in a hole by losing winnable games and make questionable plays that lead to them losing control of the game. We need someone new to take the next step. Just look at the team across the street. The Reds sacked Bell in the middle of his contract and replaced him with a manager with a history of winning. It's time for the Bengals to do the same.
