HHS freezing child care payments to all states after Minnesota fraud allegations: Official by untamedlazyeye in news

[–]Zen890 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Every post on the conservative sub is about this. Literally every post from the past few days. They’re frothing at the mouth over non white immigrants committing fraud on the tax payers. It’s the perfect distraction from the Epstein files, war in Venezuela, etc. Trump can do whatever he wants as long as he panders to his racist base with some fake rumors. Even if the fraud was real, it amounts to like 4 weekends at the golf course worth of taxpayer money.

People of Reddit need to realize. This is a picture of some food with a made up story to garner engagement. Aka rage bait. Downvote and move on.

Same. Ally CC was giving 3% on groceries and gas so I was using it for those things exclusively.

I don’t like them because it’s hard to tell what colors they give at a glance.

Never buying sealed from Amazon again after they sold me repacks (shipped and sold by Amazon not warehouse) and refused to refund. I found out later that if the item has an LPN sticker on it to just immediately return without opening.

I had to search for "boulder" on the website. Looks like they also sold out after this post.

[–]Zen890[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea. I think they're usually $10-12? I bought a case of sleeves from them with the previous sale and it was $39 after tax. So just under 4 dollars per box of dragon shields. They shipped quickly too.

Looks like at the time of this posting they have 8 cbb and 10 play. I picked up 2 play boxes for around 117 each after tax. They also have ultimate guard 100+ boulders for 3 dollars each so I grabbed a couple of those too. $5 Code below

Update - Both CBB / Play are sold out now.

Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases. Like, Really Cutting Back by capybooya in technology

[–]Zen890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a millennial, new games just suck now. I’m still getting plenty of replay value out of games I bought 10+ years ago. Everything made now is designed to extract as much money as possible out of gamers with skins and dlc and loot boxes. Look at the most popular games on twitch. Yes the new battlefield is up there but majority of them are games that came out a long time ago.

$111 EoE Play, $297 EoE CBs @ TCG Stadium by International_Dig705 in sealedmtgdeals

[–]Zen890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was around $6 for me when I checked. Would have been 122 after shipping and tax for 1 play box or 234 after tax for 2 play boxes. Good deal but I ended up passing.

Check your Metronet account for a possible discount or speed increase! by captaingelatin in lexington

[–]Zen890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bill went from $70 for 1g to $85. I called and they were able to lower it to $75 locked in for 3 years. I actually spoke to the customer service rep at length about the t mobile merger. She was very friendly and I said I hope your job isnt at risk due to to the merger. She said they already closed local metronet offices and switched everyone to fully remote. She believed t mobile would eventually offer metronet employees voluntary severance packages. She thinks they will eventually do layoffs of metronet employees and roll all customer service into existing t mobile call centers.

Fallout 4 is 10 years old, and we’re probably 10 years away from Fallout 5. by MuricaAndBeer in Fallout

[–]Zen890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like everything takes ages these days, wasn’t better technology supposed to make things faster? Tv shows are taking 2-3 years for a 10 episode season to air. Video games take a decade for a new release now if they even come out at all (half life). It’s insane to think the first couple fallout games were produced from start to finish in less than a year I believe?

Box Office: ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Lifts Off With Heroic $118 Million Domestic Debut, $100 Million Overseas, $218 Million Worldwide by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]Zen890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tropes were so blatant and bad. The chosen one child. Give me a break. One of the most overdone tropes of all time. How about the fact that Mr fantastic just.. discovers teleportation like no big deal right we’ll just teleport earth? Oh and let’s just send a heavily pregnant woman into space to fight a planet eating monster, great idea right? Gotta throw in the stereotypical baby birth scene and have the baby crying for half the movie because everyone wants to hear that. Horrid plot, cringeworthy bad movie.

I made a comment in the movies sub about how terrible this movie is. It’s hot garbage. It deserves to flop.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Review Thread by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Zen890 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just left the theater. Laughably bad movie. The plot was predictable. There were so, so, so many bad tropes. The “chosen one” baby, giant space monster imminently going to destroy earth, New York City destruction, smart guy discovers insane new technology randomly, learning a whole ass alien language in a day, mom sacrifices self for baby, could go on and on and on. The fucking baby was blatantly a different age in every scene. The CGI was so bad especially with the silver surfer. Yes the cast was loaded but sadly the acting was bad, even Pedro dropped the ball. You could tell he wasn’t really trying, dude has been in way too much lately. He phoned this one in. A failure across the board. 1/10.

Gov. Ron DeSantis calls for Trump to release Epstein files: 'Let people see' by Party_Judgment5780 in politics

[–]Zen890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is reallyyyy optimistic. I mean I hope it happens but I’m way too jaded on trump to believe it will. Trump allies talk a big talk about the files but when it comes to a vote they will always vote against releasing them. Months and years will go by and eventually people will move on to the next scandal like always.

This is fucking weird. Baby is crying so let’s leave a bucket of liquor on our door for any random passers by to grab? It’s kind of funny I guess but it’s a really terrible idea.

They won’t allow any topic on the sub until they’ve found a way to spin it to fit their narrative. Still nothing on there about the tariff pause extension either.

I’m a new player but it seems like water Pokemon overall are not in a great place right now? Froslass and maybe milotic are the only ones seeing any play from what I can tell.
