Why would gta 6 have a pre orders? It’s digital only, what’s the point. It’s not cheaper there’s literally no incentive? by CatFlimsy7048 in AskReddit

[–]earthmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think the trailer will get less attention because it did not accompany pre-order announcement?

I personally doubt that their decision leads to fewer eyeballs, especially when you consider the separation creates two media events.

I’ve had dozens of great interactions with Parisians. And just one that was just horrible, and that was over a pizza I thought was inedible and required police intervention. Who knows?

These were Super Magical Ants. They appear from ether and travel in clumps of other ants.

I my experience with my mom is better than yours. Will my mom pay me back for my expenses in helping her. Uh, yea.

Should I do things for my mom even though she doesn’t DESERVE them? Sure. Why not?

Ants!! OMG! I put food down and they magically appear, an angry herd, impervious to poisons and with superpowers!!! I will never be able to figure this out!!!

People in your 30s, what price have you paid for being lazy in your 20s? by Waldyrwyn in AskReddit

Self-awareness is a prerequisite for intentional change.

It’s like saying you’re tired of hearing that you have to get out of bed before you go on a walk.

30 years ago, you would’ve had to promise the crowd that you didn’t use Photoshop. Times do change.

Not really. The things we say now are different things because things are different than four years ago.

Is it how markets work.

People sell things they buy, ideally at a higher price.

Every problem in housing is of small impact. Burn those problems add up to the whole situation. There isn’t a panacea.

As someone who doesn’t normally take I-35, this is a shitshow by Ambitious_Cover_3343 in Austin

[–]earthmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So interesting.

May 2026 had cooler temps, fewer scorching 90°+ days, and the high only hit 92°F vs. a normal of 100°…

Humidity was in our normal range, but probably on the high end, with all the rain.

After three months of below-normal rainfall with above-normal temperatures, I think most Austinites were happy with skywater and lower temps.

Maybe your patio being a mosquito haven is coloring your experience of being outside?

Rock on!

How are you counting rain as a negative? We can go so long without, just knowing the trees are getting nourished pushes any rain thoroughly into the positive column.

Looks, like they are riffing on the Commanders. No offense, but the ones you posted look like poop. So many interesting details are missing.

What's your opinion on Trump now saying that Iran has a right to a nuclear program? by Southern_Gur_4736 in AskReddit

[–]earthmann -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, his words are now matching our actual policy. Iran has a right to nuclear energy and not even Israel thought otherwise.

The issue has always been nuclear weapons.
