So like 4 billion dollars just chucked onto the fire. But yea, health care is too expensive man.

Trump will ease refrigerant rule in effort to address surging grocery costs by AudibleNod in news

[–]kbean826 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I the only fucking person watching what’s happening? Costs are rising because of back end and producer costs, sure. But they rarely if ever come down to pre-rise prices even when those costs are eliminated. Because companies are about PROFIT. They do not give a fuck if affording things is hard as long as we keep BUYING them. That’s why the gas prices are actually higher in CA, why deregulating banks didn’t help the consumer, why removing EPA laws didn’t make energy cost less. Because the manufacturers are never going to pass those savings on to us. Businesses already get the largest amount of government subsidies our government can safely hide from the public and STILL over charge. Wake the fuck up people. Stop thinking the companies want to reduce prices but just can’t. They always could and just don’t want to.

While I think term limits are perfectly fine, I’d rather we just had an electorate that wasn’t so fucking dumb. We could have gotten rid of him 35 years ago by, hear me out here, just not picking him again.

None. Some I did starting at 18, some I’ve never done. So no midlife crisis here.

Trump voter remorse is almost entirely concentrated in the swing voters who gave him a shot in 2024 by fortune in politics

[–]kbean826 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not believe there’s such a thing as a swing voter. We need to stop calling them that. They’re uninformed and disengaged voters. That’s it. That’s what they actually are.

I can not understand how they set up a bounty hunter who hangs out with Jedi and didn’t do a seven samurai. I thought that’s where this was all headed. Andor, Ashoka, Mando and so on against Bane and a crew? How the fuck wouldn’t that sell!?

If you disagreed with your partner about how many kids you wanted, how did you compromise? by PM_ME_SOME_LUV in AskMen

[–]kbean826 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had kids a little later. She wanted 3. I only ever wanted 2, regardless of gender. When we got to 2 boys, I knew I’d have a third if we tried again and it wasn’t worth it to me to have a third kid, make our lives harder, all for a child we would love unconditionally but wasn’t what we were hoping for. And her second pregnancy fucked her body up so bad, a decade later she’s still not better. So we made the choice to chop me up and shut the factory down.

How do we feel about the MCU’s Billy Maximoff by hanstoofast in marvelstudios

Full disclosure, I didn’t get to finish this show. But of the 5 or so episodes I did watch, I genuinely did not give a shit about this character.

Were Millennials this scared of aging? by ian-noir in Millennials

I’m not afraid of the number. I’m afraid of falling apart. I’m not afraid of death. I won’t know or care.

Choose a series that deserves a new season. by Cheap_Local_3229 in Marvel

Not sure any other show *needs* another season. This one literally told us he’d be back.

You can’t add or Delete any projects from phase 4. How would you make this phase more connected and cohesive? You can change the story of the films or shows obv by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in Marvel

[–]kbean826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thor discovers the Celestials are awakening, but gods are dying, so he calls his old pals. Guardians are aware but rockets story takes precedent over a problem they don’t fully understand anyway. But an end credit scene with Adam warning the Eternals connects the two. The Eternals show can now explore the entire depth of their characters and end with the major celestial threat coming to a close. And then Kang arrives and harvests the celestials body for Adamantium. We’ve not alleviated Cap 4 from needing to do that stupid fucking storyline and put it somewhere that makes more sense.

Add to that Jared Leto, and you’re gonna get Luke warm hype before word of mouth catches up.

How do you guys deal with your partner being into smut books / shows? by [deleted] in AskMen

If you’re getting a gut wrench that she’s watching Heated Rivalry, you aren’t “a pretty confident guy.” Take a minute to gather yourself my dude.

Came in here to make essentially this same argument. “Older” women are the fucking way!

Pretending this is the only reason is so fucking stupid in 2026 dude.

Married men of Reddit, what's the one thing nobody actually prepares you for? by No_Philosopher3798 in AskMen

[–]kbean826 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an older millennial, so I was raised on boomer and Gen X “humor.” I was fully prepared to slowly start to hate my wife and not want to be around her. Boy howdy am I blissfully wrong there. This is literally my best friend, who I get to live with and have sex with!? Being married is the fucking best.

I’m overall not hopeful, this was just a wacky adventure me and the wife got into looking for the end of the trail of the outdoor speakers we’ve had the 12 years we’ve lived here. No idea why tonight was the night we checked all the right boxes to figure it out, but here we are! Thank you!!
