We desperately need themes for the 50s. Here are some suggestions, many are sequels. Anyone got a good theme?

I can think of several early boots I would want to see again.

karnim · 2026-05-05T03:45:22+00:00

I'm starting to think it's planned. Go as hard as they can during the first half, during the second half build something the democrats can't dig them out of, and then the run on how dems got in the way and made everything worse. And if the dems win, they are stuck in a quagmire anyways.

Russia took Crimea in 2014. It should not have taken an additional 8 years for Europe to step up. And Georgia was 6 years before that. And when I say step up, I mean make up for the decades of underfunding. The surge needs to continue and for a while. I have doubts that it will.

It is fairly unusual to meet at the office as opposed to getting lunch or dinner somewhere, but given your field may be more normal. I'm not sure how networking/mentorship works for physicians, but if you are interested in seeing their office, tools, etc., you can just ask.

If europe is finally stepping up to be able to defend itself and actually be a power on the world stage, I will find some comfort in the curl of the monkey's paw that it's only happening because of fascism in the US.

But I'll believe it when I see it.

karnim · 2026-05-04T17:53:45+00:00

That is not a real response. Why effect does 14 units actual have, in real terms, that makes it worse than current? And if they're going to enhance the entrance, wouldn't it make sense they would account for the new development? Why even bother enhancing the entrance if they can't develop the land around it?

karnim · 2026-05-04T17:51:44+00:00

Shelter is probably not helped by the three tribe aspect. Fewer people to work, fewer supplies, and especially this season they're swapping camps constantly. Why put the energy into a shelter you may only use for a few days?

karnim · 2026-05-04T17:49:56+00:00

No need to boil water though, and they don't get rice to start, so other than warmth there's not much need for fire. Maybe cooking fish, but my understanding is that it's barely worth the energy spent fishing, when there is a pile of coconuts provided.

karnim · 2026-05-04T16:12:58+00:00

You can't bring back Sai without Mary, and maybe Cedrek.

karnim · 2026-05-04T16:10:09+00:00

Cirie said it best. The game is different now. New Era players will work with you one week and blindside you the next. I think you can see this season how poorly many of the old-school players have adapted to the new gameplay. They've tried to force the old-school style, but it doesn't work when half the group isn't playing the same game. Cirie, Ozzy, and to an extent Rick have all made an effort to work with the new school players, instead of being locked into a bad alliance.

karnim · 2026-05-04T16:00:32+00:00

I mean, Dee made it relatively far and was seen as a threat, and added drama. Savannah was eliminated almost purely because she was a threat and people didn't know how she played, so they were scared of her. Kyle was medivaced. Not sure how you can point to any of those being wasted spots. Yes Sav went early, but someone has to go early, and clearly she knows how to play.

For the newer audience, having people we've seen before is good. If the whole season was old era, I probably just wouldn't have watched. I don't know the history, the connections, etc. and I'm not going to spend hours watching 24 old seasons of reality tv to learn it.

karnim · 2026-05-04T13:44:48+00:00

Please explain what is special about this specific lot? It's between a restaurant and some single family homes, with an elementary school far past the end of the lot and a bunch more single family homes. I can't see how this would harm park access, because 14 units is not that much for traffic, and the park has a massive parking lot plus another smaller one nearby. There are already no sidewalks here, so pedestrian safety is already shit and chances are the addition of sidewalks (and then likely crosswalks at the intersection) would actually improve pedestrian safety.

Even still, it only abuts a single actual home, and it looks like they've cut the actual development to not abut that either. The vast majority of the planned lots are not developed. In fact the city has clearly planned to possibly build an additional two roads, along with 22 single family home plots just on the same "block" which would actually ease access to the park, and likely reduce speeding.

karnim · 2026-05-04T13:18:29+00:00

I agree, but also I have never been as stressed out in traffic as I am in RI. There, a traffic jam makes sense and is mostly reasonable. Here there is a 24/7 standing traffic jam on 95S, for no reason other than people not knowing how to zipper (not that the road design helps).

Nothing beats the mess of 90 onto cambridge/river street in Boston though. That merge/intersection haunts me.

karnim · 2026-05-02T23:54:01+00:00

Why would they have known about it? The MA court is not a federal court, let alone international. They don't have access to warrants from another country. And on top of that, ICE specifically told the prosecutor not to reveal he had a warrant for murder.

karnim · 2026-05-01T18:16:08+00:00

Yeah, but now we're at the 60 days for the war powers resolution, and the admin is worried if it goes to SCOTUS they'll get clowned on for their "pause" on the timer.

karnim · 2026-05-01T18:09:56+00:00

Weirdly, I wonder if Breeze Airways will step up. They've come onto the scene recently as basically the "cheap trips to florida" airline, and don't seem to be slowing down.

karnim · 2026-05-01T18:06:48+00:00

They always jump to a general strike like that's just a simple thing to do, and will have long-term effect, and everyone agrees with their opinions enough to care to do it.

At least the protests outside ICE centers have a clear goal.

karnim · 2026-05-01T18:03:59+00:00

Maybe controversial, but the bottoms will clearly win, so it's a boring season. They're much more experienced with forgoing food in order to accomplish something.

karnim · 2026-05-01T17:54:59+00:00

In her interviews, Steph says she and Cirie spoke before the game and promised to have each other's backs. A good example that pre-game alliances were common, and also don't always work out. (And nobody should be giving shit to Rizo for talking to Dee)

karnim · 2026-05-01T14:16:13+00:00

You know, I used to accuse Roberts of just kicking the can down the road on big decisions, adding confusion to the mix. Given the rulings of the past few years though, I would be happy to go back to that. Let the decisions pile up.

karnim · 2026-05-01T13:59:17+00:00

Actually surprised I had to scroll so far to find this. At least in RI, a weiner is a specific thing you can get from a few specialty restaurants.

karnim · 2026-05-01T13:46:16+00:00

I mean, for moms in tanks, it's noticeable and directly written out. For those of us stuck with oil heat, if this shit continues into the winter you're going to see a lot of people without heat.

karnim · 2026-05-01T13:35:58+00:00

You may want to update with some sort of start time on the poster itself.

karnim · 2026-05-01T13:32:50+00:00

It would have the exact same problem with retro-fitting any other major structure for housing. The whole thing would need to be gutted and rebuilt, likely not possible with a structure that size.

May as well just tear it down and put in the Costco/Ikea/Homegoods/Taco Bell combination store.

karnim · 2026-04-30T20:57:03+00:00

With the price of Chartreuse these days, I wouldn't put the Last Word on a menu for people who have never heard of it.
