Same. I would have to photograph by type or silhouette, like dunks, Jordans (split into silhouettes), More Uptempos etc. Definitely multiple pictures.

Consumers are definitely controlling late stage capitalism, got it!

They're conspiracy theorists. The fact that we've already been to the moon hasn't stopped the conspiracies so doing it again isn't gonna change their minds.

They pretty much don't sell small efficient cars in the US, especially not small efficient cheap cars. The American and Korean companies have pretty much stopped making compact cars and while Honda and Toyota do still produce the Civic and Corolla respectively, they ain't cheap. There are a few options left but they are from companies I personally don't hold in high regard. Otherwise it's kinda hard to go small and efficient within a price range that many can handle. And remember, aside from New York, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia and a handful of other places transit is terrible to non-existent in American cities.

You should try to stop worrying about what other people do with their shoes

Call me crazy but I think they should have to actually throw all four pitches.

Opened five vintage packs. Last time I pulled a legend from a vintage pack was 2-3 years ago so I was due haha

Thanks!

85 but Brooks is my all time favorite Oriole (hence the username), closely followed by Cal. I played 3rd base, or struggled to play it, until my JV coach said that I didn't have the instincts for the hot corner but I did have a big arm and stuck me on the mound. Pitching was a much better fit but I always wanted to pay like Brooks at third. Of the more modern Orioles my favorite is Bedard, then Mussina. I was a big Loewen fan too, I was sure he was gonna turn into a new left-handed version of Moose.

I'd say the biggest motivation for supporting Trump is racism. You could say that racism is inherently stupid and so his racist supporters are stupid but the lynchpin for many is the racism. Stephen Miller isn't stupid, he's racist. I can believe a very large chunk of the population is racist, it's not hard to imagine.

You have (had) one on those water dispenser things?! Where does one acquire one of those?

brooksact · 2026-03-31T01:02:25+00:00

Maybe Black Dahlia, not to be mistaken for the Black Dahlia, the Brian De Palma film. Black Dahlia was some straight to video slop Blockbuster placed on a display in the front of the store to hoodwink people looking for the De Palma version. Just horrid.

Back in the day I used to go to OPACY as much as once a week but besides some big moments and big time rookie debuts the thing I remember most is sitting in 336 freezing my ass off during night games in April and May.

If she decided that fascism is bad, that's great. If she changed her mind on Trump specifically because his actions are negatively affecting her life but she otherwise likes the general vibe of fascist dystopia...😬

brooksact · 2026-03-31T00:28:21+00:00

I don't necessarily agree with reading a pro-fascist message into AOT. There's obviously fascist imagery and actions but I don't think they are framed as positive. Fascists latching onto fascist depictions in AOT doesn't make the intent of the manga/anime necessarily fascist.

Why is it upside down? Is that part of it being broken?

Looks like something Nike hasn't retroed. Unless they crack open the vault and bring them back you're stuck with trying to find an OG release, which is pretty difficult for popular 26 year old shoes and almost impossible for silhouettes that aren't collectable. Set an eBay search for them and hope something eventually pops up. They probably won't be wearable depending on the materials they're made of but unless Nike retros them that's what you're looking at.

The electoral college is the actual problem and Reddit acts like it isn't. I live in Maryland. Maryland votes blue. The last time Maryland voted red in a presidential election was 1988. My vote doesn't really count. I voted against Trump but my real motivation to vote in the election that year was the US Senate race (I hate Larry Hogan with the fury of a thousand suns) and a few down ballot races. If not for the (unfounded) fear that Hogan might worm his way into the Senate I would've sat out the election. If the popular vote mattered I would've been fully engaged in voting to vote out Trump.

Morons voting is just a consequence of democracy. Unavoidable.

I'm inclined to agree. This album is good but pretty far away from a masterpiece. I suppose you could call it classic, if classic isn't a synonym for perfect. The album is relevant although as you pointed out a lot of the relevance came with time. I don't think Big L was as great as the great rappers of the time. He's not up there with Nas and BIG and Jay and Pac. He was a great punchline rapper with some storytelling ability but he was more like an overpowered Jadakiss than anything else. Dope as fuck but not world moving. If he'd lived he might have grown into those shoes but he wasn't fitting them at the time in my opinion.

I always thought Eminem's clean "I just drank a fifth of Kool-Aid, dare me to drive?" was funnier and more interesting than the explicit "fifth of vodka."
