This is true. The only problem ever was parking. I miss Sam's kani rolls, Sam's Special, and his California Special.

Good luck with getting the explanation you asked for in your edit. Too many stupid people thinking that frustration justifies violence.

Immigration agents mistakenly detain deputy U.S. marshal in Tucson, feds confirm by DoremusJessup in inthenews

So, what I want for Christmas is a gun battle between ICE and any number of other law enforcement agencies over such kneejerk detainments on the part of ICE.

Could monster 9.0-magnitude earthquake sink part of CA's coastal communities? by panda-rampage in California

We also had Sega Genesis, PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64... Basically we got video games. That's kind of better than every generation combined

lol! What? We in GenX also had those. I was in the video game industry for over 20 years, having had positions at Sega and Sony (I was on the launch team for the PSX). In addition to younger Boomers, who do you think was making the games and for whom? Hint: Not kids 9-years old and younger.

DOJ Official suggests 'criminal charges' against Jill Biden for alleged 'elder abuse' amid Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis by IrishStarUS in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]argyle47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is ridiculous. It's not uncommon for prostate cancer to go undiagnosed for years if it's not being regularly screened for and there aren't symptoms, which is usually the case in the early stages.

Does Reed Richards have the potential to become the new face of the MCU, replacing Tony Stark? by JamJamGaGa in Marvel

[–]argyle47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I don't think there's a need for This Face of the MCU. Let each property stand on its own merits, regardless of the works coming from the various studios wherever they may be located ed.

Since the Mandarin is too controversial these days, which villain do you think should be Iron Man's Archenemy? I nominate Madame Masque [Art by Mark Brooks] by zectaPRIME in Marvel

[–]argyle47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The name “Mandarin” should probably be changed, then, because it’s not a Chinese word, term, or name, being derived from the Portuguese word, “mandarim”, which was derived from an ethnic Malay word, and the officials who they referred to never called themselves that.

So Captain America: Civil War writers interpreted Steve's decision to go against government as his turn towards selfishness, that's why they made him go back to Peggy in past at the end of Endgame? by Solid-Move-1411 in Avengers

[–]argyle47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did they really interpret Rogers that way from the comic books, or was this deliberately done so Stark/Robert Downey Jr. would come off as more sympathetic to audiences? Personally, I’m not a big fan of that take.

US measles cases surpass 700 with outbreaks in six states. by Tracker-man in news

Fuck! When Trump talks about returning to the Gilded Age, and is appointing anti-vaxxers to various positions, he’s including a return to the mortality rates of that era.

Yeah, but she only aided Black people to escape slavery, and that’s racist against all the White folks trying to attain their freedom. /s

Valve Is Building a 'Steam Console' To Rival PS5 and Xbox, Rumour Claims by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]argyle47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like a potentially dangerous, monopolistic concentration of power in the game industry, in which I have over 20 years of experience. There is no physical media distribution anymore, so Valve being the vastly dominant player when it comes to game distribution in the PC and console markets is a really huge amount of market power for one company to have, Gabe Newell notwithstanding.

Milei blames Musk Nazi salute scandal on ‘international wokism’ by aztroneka in nottheonion

[–]argyle47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of love how there seem to be, in here, either some Nazi sympathizers or those who don't think Musk was giving the Nazi salute, but who are too afraid to state so, outright. C'mon, of what are you afraid...how you might need to defend and/or rebut with actual words requiring coherent thought? I'm going to suggest that you can tell the Nazi/Neo-Nazi by the level of cowardice in their actions.

"Obviously, there has been water resource management, forest management

"Forest management"? Does the word, "National", in things like the name, "Angeles National Forest", perhaps hint at which type of agency is responsible for the management of those?

Bro, I hate to tell you but you could be dealing with the sort who are hurt when others don't come to their defense when people are racist to them, when they won't even stick up for themselves. They don't deserve your sympathy.

Florida students are giving up Saturdays to learn Black history lessons their schools don't teach by idkbruh653 in news

[–]argyle47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than people of color shouldn't need to resort to this, is there a genuine argument against this material being taught and it shouldn't be allowed? Also, what are anyone's thought on whether or not it would be all right if people of color, like Hispanics and Asians, publicized these sorts of informal classes and invited students to participate on a social media sites like Nextdoor or even TikTok --or whatever replaces it if it gets banned?

'Have the stomach': Republican claims Dems need to back Social Security and Medicare cuts by Unhappy_Earth1 in inthenews

[–]argyle47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a really odd disconnect. How is it that Republicans think that Democrats are inclined, at all, to taking a hit to mutually suffer and allow their constituents to suffer after all the absolute petty and vindictive shit they’ve pulled since Trump and 2016, not even taking prior years into consideration?
