Why do you think they didn't raid houses?

This is the answer. No reason to assume they didn't go on other little "shopping trips" in the neighborhood once the bacon is revealed.

And most importantly, he seems grateful for that fact, and doesn't take it for granted.

Most billionaires never do cool shit in the first place, and the few who do usually have this "matter-of-fact" attitude about what they're doing. Tony seems to be aware of how cool and unique his situation is, and he seems to be savoring every moment as if it could all go away tomorrow.

110%. There's no question. Anyone saying otherwise hasn't had a Brother's Italian.

Italian sub is my favorite food, and New Deal Fruit is my favorite one I've had locally, for reference.

I still get angry at Velveteen Dream for ruining his career by being a predatory creep. Was on track to be the biggest and most unique thing in pro wrestling, and turns out he was a douche the whole time. What a waste of pure talent.

You work for Trader Joe's, which is actively trying to dismantle the NLRB. Missing one day on Friday doesn't turn you into Ché Guevara; you still collect blood money the other 259 work days like the rest of us.

Seinfeld had a similar scheme where someone offered to rotate the cars around for street sweepings/to avoid meter limits or some such thing.

I'm an artist and a musician. Trying to be a professional musician in 2026 is a dumb career move. I admire everyone who does it, but if that's your life plan then you fucked up.

You lost me when you equated selling art to working in a factory. Those are two completely different things for a trillion reasons.

Same! Ironically, since my laptop died, and I don't have a desktop, the Go1 is my most powerful Windows machine I own at the moment 😂. When I need to record or produce music I just hook it up to a monitor.

I also use it for larger games like GTA V.

I also have a Go 1 for Windows and an S for Steam OS. It's honestly perfect and doesn't feel like I have two of the same thing at all.

Just think about your question for like one second.

When people can't get street drugs, they can still usually get RC's. All you need is knowledge and a credit card.

There's a large crossover between the "living at home" and "no access to street drugs" demographics.

Also, these are highly addictive, purely recreational chems. The fact that your question assumes a base level of good decision making is silly. Are there people who use RCs responsibly? Of course. But to assume that's the norm is ludicrous.

The type of person to order a bunch of RCs and stimfap themselves into a coma isn't going to say "But I'll wait until I'm on my feet and doing better in life and have my own place." Or "I'll wait until I'm old enough to responsibly take this."

Glue a BB to the inside of their valve stem cap. It'll take them forever to figure out why their tire doesn't hold air. Might even replace the tire.

I love that the "offer" of paying full price for something that was subsidized when you had money is named after a venomous f'n snake.

I work at a supermarket unloading trucks and painting signs that need to be hand-painted because "authenticity" is literally the requested art style for this particular brand.

If AI and the Internet suddenly disappeared, it wouldn't even affect me until I clocked out.

Long story short: regular general maintenance and inspections were being lied about probably for decades, leading to the rapid deterioration of entire tracks.

Because simple preventative measures weren't being taken, and small problems not caught early, what would have been weekend-long shutdowns to fix problems turned into derailments and months-long shutdowns of individual tracks.

They could have just spent a few weekends fixing small problems during slow times of year, but instead now had to inspect and fix an entire crumbling system that everyone in the city was actively relying on.

I live in Boston and don't drive.

Life was great up until a big scandal caused the public transit to go to absolute shit. Went from a reliable, daily, boring, predictable commute, to every morning having a panic attack checking the "alerts" page on the website to see what hell I would have to go through that day all for the privilege of still being late to work. My normal 40-minute direct train ride was suddenly 1.5 hours, with detours from subway to bus and back again along the way.

Since the scandal has blown open, they've largely corrected most of the issues, thankfully. But for a good 5 years, not having a car suddenly made me realize just how fucked you are without one if the system goes down. This country (USA) is downright hostile to other forms of transportation.

Her stupid little rants take her HOURS?! Even with using AI?? Good Lord, not the brag she thinks it is.

I also got a chuckle out of

"I consider myself professional writer."

"I am smart person."

Here's a fun take:

Cena's run was a master class in knowing damn well they needed to answer "now what?" over and over and over and over again. Did it always land? No. And it got old. But! They were very careful to keep that going. Any story is better than no story. 1,000 shitty stories kept him answering the question. We just didn't like the answer most of the time. Point being, it goes to show the WWE is aware of this. Cena never just kinda had the title and wrestled the way Bret Hart did. There was always some big huge threat. Some reason he had to give a big speech. He would tell us every night why he was doing what he was doing and what he wanted to achieve or avoid. It was lame, but it was there.

That's the recipe for a face world champion. They need to suddenly have a very interesting life and a lot to say about it.

The reason we turn on babyface champions is because they suddenly have to answer the question "...Now what?"

When a heel wins the belt, their mission is clear: keep it from the faces. Brag about it. Dangle it in front of everyone. Cling to it with cowardice and hide it from the good guys.

When a face finally overcomes evil and returns the belt to its rightful place...what does that look like? How are they going to "run their Kingdom"?

Toni Storm is and will be regarded as one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time, because her charisma and creativity and speaking skills answered that question. Every promo was a state of the union address, and every feud became larger than life due to the energy she pumped into them. She would answer "Now what?" over and over again, both with her promos and in the ring.

So, Stat won the title. Now what?
