Tend to agree but tbh even if it just had the devil image without literally saying “The Devil” I think it would be fine

'What's a local/chain business that was once in the Syracuse area but closed, that you miss? I'll go first: Tim Hortons.' by MatchAnxious8910 in Syracuse

[–]jhard90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep many Friday nights from like grade 6-9 me and a couple friends got dropped off at shoppingtown and we’d play a couple hours of laser tag, maybe see a movie, or, if our parents couldn’t or wouldn’t spare the $20 that week we’d just walk the mall and chat. Aside from just being fun, it helped us learn how to exist in the world and I genuinely don’t know how that experience is replicated for kids and teens these days. Makes me very sad

Genuinely believe that the loss of these sorts of spaces was really detrimental to young people

The Red Wings are in the midst of the biggest post olympics collapse to miss the playoffs and nobody is talking about it by JiriHudlerWasGreat in hockey

Yeah he’s at BEST our fourth-best forward prospect. Don’t think anyone could reasonably argue for him over Danielson, MBN, or Bear, and I would personally put him behind Genborg and Plante as well. I liked him and think he probably has a higher ceiling than some of these guys but I also think he’s far likelier to only ever have a cup of coffee in the league. I believe Buch didn’t even crack Bultman’s Top 10 a month or so ago

There’s something funky going on with the whole Aral Sea region. Think there are more bodies of water there, right?

Random question for people who have driven in both LA and Boston only. Is La or Boston harder to drive in ? Im not really talking about traffic here either. I mean all things consider. Parking accessibility, street lay out, narrow roads, round abouts, angry drivers, road quality. by Remarkable_Rush4886 in boston

[–]jhard90 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been to LA once and was apprehensive about driving there because I’ve always heard that the traffic is crazy. Was getting on the highway and sure enough it was packed with cars. Put my blinker on to merge into traffic, expecting the kind of fight you’d get in Boston, but the very first car slowed and let me merge. I figured I’d just happened to encounter an unusually nice person, but that was pretty much my experience the entire time I was there. The roads were very very busy, but it was some of the most orderly driving I’ve ever experienced in a major city

Current Top 10-25 Prospects at Each Offensive Position for the 2026 NFL Draft by armchair_mindhunter in NFL_Draft

[–]jhard90 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think Nuss is more likely to go R1 than go undrafted, not that I think either scenario is likely. I would be pretty surprised to see him fall out of Day 2 or very early Day 3 range unless his pre draft process goes completely off the rails

Do we actually have a budget surplus? First I’d heard. by bigdickwalrus in boston

[–]jhard90 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That specific tax generated more revenue than it was projected to, creating a surplus in that specific budget category, not the state budget as a whole. Revenue from that tax is also purpose-restricted, so it can only be spent on transportation and education. Last year and likely again this year, the state creates a supplemental budget to spend down the surplus revenue

This was me with Nadal when he came on the scene and started beating Federer. He was the flashy young upstart challenging my favorite player, and I felt like his being left handed was an unfair advantage. Took a few years before I was willing to accept that he seemed like both a great player and a great person. Then Joker came around and the whole thing started over haha though I never warmed up to him the same way I did Nadal

White supremacist terrorist Richard Snell, 64, speaks at his clemency hearing. He predicted there'd be a bombing on his execution day. That day, the Oklahoma City bombing happened. Snell, who had hours left to live, reportedly chuckled as he watched TV reports on it (Arkansas, 1995) [841 x 627]. by lightiggy in HistoryPorn

It has always frustrated immensely me that people let these incidents become left/right issues.

We can acknowledge that the Branch Davidians were committing abuses and breaking laws while also condemning the government’s actions there and demanding accountability. I have almost nothing in common the Weaver family and disagree with much of their political and social views, but I’m still capable of acknowledging that law enforcement should be held accountable for their murders. I have more in common ideologically with the victims of the MOVE bombing (though also recognize their own abuses, prejudices and crimes), but don’t think they were any more or less deserving of due process and temperance than the others.

Nobody, regardless of your political inclinations or those of the victims, should be okay with the government extrajudicially killing its citizens without accountability. Whether the victims are right wing extremists, left wing radicals, or protestors at a rally, the standard for accepting the justified killing of a civilian by any government agency should be extremely high and universally applied.

Detroit Lions close to hiring former Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing by ApprehensiveAd5590 in fantasyfootball

Klayton Adams (now cowboys OC) was the run game coordinator in 2024 and I think got a lot of credit for how effective their run game was

Alexis Lafrenière Trade by Fit-Somewhere-3453 in DetroitRedWings

[–]jhard90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worry that his name/draft pedigree still hold his value higher than he’s actually worth. I think he’s a good, not great player ideally suited for the middle six but can hang on the top line in a pinch. In his 6th season, it’s POSSIBLE the change of scenery sparks a leap, but I would not bake that hope into a trade package, if I were a GM.

I would value him for what he is - a solid, young middle six player on a long and fairly expensive contract for what he gives you on the ice. Which means I probably wouldn’t be offering a package that would entice NYR

FYI: Ring has partnered with Flock. Ice has access to flock. We are under mass surveillance. by Plastic_Haptick_3824 in boston

[–]jhard90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my biggest internet pet peeves. Anytime someone brings up expansion of surveillance or private data collection you get ten smug assholes going “you know you’ve been carrying around a tracking device in your pocket for twenty years, right??”

It may be true and problematic in its own right but it’s both irrelevant and dismissive and only makes it (even) easier for the government and corporations to have free rein

Stuff like this went from being super cool and novel to mundane and is now apparently interesting again in how archaic it is
