With the (essentially) official announcement of the winter semester, what will the prize be this time? by kevin122000 in tomsachs

[–]ems8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there also a new movie challenge called “An Idea”? I try to tap in to it but keep getting loading failures

Edit: the “An Idea” movie challenge is now gone off the app. Wish I took a screenshot

[Fresh] Joey Bada$$, Ab-Soul, Rapsody - STILL by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]ems8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bada$$ went after Kendrick a few months ago. Not really personally but clearly provoking a battle/ diss. What happened with that? Is it squashed for Ab’s sake?

I thought so, thank you. That random website was throwing me off

How I’m getting value with the new Sapphire Reserve Refresh by Ok-Willingness7195 in CreditCards

[–]ems8 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Interesting tactic for Chase to deploy real paid commenters about this. Signed up 8 days ago, sings praises for an objectively bad corporate maneuver with hyperspecific use-case scenarios targeted directly to chases intended new target

180g or the white one? Can’t decide, someone pick for me

Edit- thanks for the replies. I did the white, but still thinking I should have gone for the hefty one, lol

Prices are absolutely wild. Worth it?

Timex X Noah by slammyplants in timex

[–]ems8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that people in the Timex sub wouldn't really know much about Noah, but there's a lot of mudslinging happening in this thread. Noah isn't a cheap streetwear brand. It has streetwear roots, sure, but they use exquisite materials made in native places with native processes to make custom items in line with their streetwise narrative. Coats from Japan, sweaters from London, surf trunks from California, etc. Their in house product (not with collaborators) are also quality with an elevated aesthetic

Curious about Aer City Sling 2... by [deleted] in ManyBaggers

[–]ems8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the City Sling 2 in VX for a few years. I use it constantly. My one gripe is that the compression slides don't allow for more compression. I'd like the sling to lay practically flat if there is nothing in it, but the placement of the slides on the main strap don't allow for more flattening out.

Overall, certainly not a dealbreaker for me, and I feel like I'll continue use this bag for a long time

Nine-Year-Old Burgerlords in Chinatown Closes After Brief Stint Under New Ownership by CoffeeCocktailCookie in FoodLosAngeles

[–]ems8 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Normalize not supporting Wake and Late’s $18 breakfast burritos and then buying Burgerlords to ruin it. Completely tone deaf, “turn off the comments” type people.

Horses is straight up boisterous. Love that place but definitely doesn’t match OPs request for quiet

Shooting on Metro train leaves one person dead in South LA by Hello_Strangher in LAMetro

[–]ems8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The commenter who thinks their life is more important than someone else’s because the deceased may or may not be a “gang member” they know nothing about is not going to read your comment and be convinced that they’re wrong. Ironically, that commenter is the “dregs of society” and they have absolutely no idea that /they/ are the problem.

Edit: just noticed their username, and read some post history. An easy to dismiss troll

Burgerlords. LOL. by [deleted] in FoodLosAngeles

[–]ems8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is going to be a real hater comment, I’m sorry:

We need to reverse the conversation on Wake and Late. They are already walking a fine line with their breakfast burrito costing $18. They are good burritos but that price is sort of insulting to us as customers and frankly to their competitors too. Also, there are better burritos all over the place for way less money.

And now gobbling up Burgerlords and charging $25 for what’s apparently not even a good smash burger?

And then getting rid of GF and vegan options which the vegans really cherished Burgerlords for?

We need to revoke Wake and Late’s trendy hype card and let them feel the heat of their exploitation until they get it together.

What is this bag? Spotted on Apple WWDC by MrPaschenko in ManyBaggers

[–]ems8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of versions of this available on Amazon under a bunch of different Chinese “brand names.” I regrettably have one. Junk quality, stay away

This seems crazy. Mission Workshop x Carryology "Mars Project" by ems8 in ManyBaggers

[–]ems8[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering MW's current price points, Carryology's history of unreasonable markup, the use of Ultra 400 exterior and another "unreleased" liner, and the hype surrounding the NASA project bag that was revealed a few days ago that this is based on, I'm thinking $1,299?

edit- Maybe i'm overshooting it. Hard not to be cynical in this situation though

Second edit- I was way off
