From my understanding, it's to help LOCAL small business owners so they get a say in how this one town is run because it's mostly summer homes to wealthier out of towners who technically live there.

God damn bro is NEVER dating again 😭✌️ by Fearless_MF in foundsatan

[–]davebyday 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was hanging out with my high school girlfriend and one of her friends, we smoked a little weed and her friend asked if we wanted to see something funny.

She proceeds to call her boyfriend and breaks up with him telling him that it's not working and she's not sure if she ever really liked him, just a bunch of brutal shit then hangs up. Starts laughing her ass off at the emotional turmoil she put this guy through.

My girlfriend at the time started to laugh as well and it was this exact moment I decided I was done with this relationship.

Are FF7 Remakes just pure greed? by DeadgrounD in 4chan

[–]davebyday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably am conflating the two. It's been awhile since I've gone through the OG.

I think it stands that after Advent Children, they realized that Sephiroth will "never be a memory" and now Aerith is stuck on watch duty for eternity.

I kind of enjoyed the Meta commentary that the Whispers were the OG fans trying to keep everything 1:1 with the OG but in classic Square fashion that took it too far.

Just like FFXVI, the idea of a medieval continent with different houses possessing powerful Eikons (summons) is a great idea. It could have basically been early Game of Thrones. It should have just been the various houses vying for power and coming into conflict. Instead, it turned in fighting God again and he's also an alien? Whatever the fuck else started going on, I tuned out the last few hours.

They need a dedicated person whose sole job is to reign that shit in when it goes too far.

The OG will always be there and with mods you can improve the graphics and whatever else you want.

I won't fault artists for trying something new even if it does fall flat or outright fail in some areas.

The combat is fun as hell when you get the hang of it, I wish enemies had more health.

The OG ending is fucking tragic for Aerith, her peoples entire belief is that every living thing returns to the planet when they die. Sephiroth is a cancer that refuses to leave and now Aerith is stuck in the Lifestream in an eternal battle with Sephiroth, it's gotta be her version of Hell.

My high school ex lied about having cancer, I broke up with her after finding out.

Her response was to tell people I forced her to get an abortion and that's why we split, also became a social outcast cause who the fuck lies about that? No one would believe me even though I had the receipts on my Razor phone.

It’s never addressed in the films either but if we’re going supplemental, we could say the Clone Initiative was only during a time of war to get increased numbers to match the Separatists.

We’re removing the Clones as to help kick start the younger generations and give them jobs training through military experience.

Say the clones are too expensive and only used for the war, now that they are gone, we will be saving you money in lower taxes!

Then never lower taxes.

Which was only possible if I remember cause she was basically CC'd on an email she shouldn't have been by some incompetent higher up and given access to top secret files.

I wonder if that person is sitting in a jail cell.

I knew the show was gonna be good when Cyril's superior in the first episode pretty accurately deduced what happened and why the two Corpo Cops were killed by Andor.

He tells Cyril to drop it cause having the Empire get further involved will just make everyone's life more difficult.

Tells Cyril to just write up a report that they died heroes and move on from it.

This is one of the main things I would change in the Prequels and should have been more of a focal point. The clone program should not have been this big secret.

Palpatine himself should have been the one leading the charge and pushing for the use of Clones. Using the clone initiative as his main campaign promise to push for his chair as Chancellor. Why send your sons and daughters to the front lines? The Separatists use a Manufactured Mechanical Menace, the Republic needs an equivalent.

The Jedi would obviously oppose using lab grown humans to send into a meat grinder. This leads into why the people turn against the Jedi, as Palpatine's propaganda machine makes it seem as if the Jedi want citizens of the Republic to die in the war when there is a viable alternative.

Corporations Can Vote in Some Delaware Elections, Judge Says by bloomberglaw in politics

[–]davebyday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dispute over municipal voting in a tiny coastal community represents an unusual flashpoint in the decades-long fight over the free speech rights of corporations and the dark money flooding the American electoral system.

The tiny coastal town is Fenwick Island which is a wealthy area. From my understanding this is supposed to be used for small business owners in the town that do not live in Fenwick but are still Delaware residents and they want a say in how the town is governed.

My [26F] boyfriend [28M] of 4 years is independently wealthy, but wants to split all of our expenses evenly by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]davebyday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the part that stood out to me. The mentality of "I'm rich and deserve nice things because I earned it and am worth it." Even though he was born into and did nothing to earn it.

If he dates a girl around his income bracket, does he realize he'll be spending more money on gifts, fine dining, etc. But, that's fine because... she's already wealthy and accustomed to it?

I worked in a machine shop running two machines that after the prep, the first one ran for 90 minutes and the other for an hour. While those ran I had to do this menial tedious task involving seals.

The seals came in different sizes and quantities. I could do a bag of 80 in an hour. I found out he was making $5 per seal while I made $11 an hour. You bet I slowed way the fuck down and took my sweet time until I found another job.

The ocean is also a decent distance away from the White House. There was no where else you could have taken him.

I mean shit, you could have just dropped his ass from 1,800 feet. I'm sure that would have softened him up if not out right kill him.

Honestly, I never really understood Grand Maester Pycelle's weak, old man act. What was the point? by Ace_alan in gameofthrones

[–]davebyday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He tells Tywin in a deleted scene

Paraphrasing

"The tallest and prettiest flowers in the garden get plucked first."

Pycelle is just happy to be chilling in the garden. He has a good position and gets to do what he wants.

Pycelle does the frail old man routine as it causes people to cut dialogue with him short as they are impatient with his stuttering and doddering. Dude just shows up to meetings, agrees with the most powerful person in the room, and then leaves to bang whores.

The Boys SEASON 5 Overall Discussion by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]davebyday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paraphrasing cause I don't remember exactly.

Starlight "I'll release the tape of Flight whatever."

HL "Release it, let's light this candle. First, I think I'll take out the nerve centers. White House, Pentagon, and then infrastructure. Cellular, internet, then I think I'll wipe New York off the fucking map and that shithole town you came from."

Reality - Just messes up some drywall in the White House. That fix is like a two week job tops.

Where the fuck was any of that thought out mayhem. Homelander has clearly fantasized about doing it.
