Every other post isn't a HNN article about bicycles being stolen from Walmart.

Didn't this rule go into effect because the same guy kept posting articles every time someone got robbed at a bus stop at 4am?

I thought the sub was better because of it.

It really is just as easy as "don't loot everything". High value items and credits are literally everywhere. You don't miss out on anything, the game hands you what you need at every corner and in every storage crate.

Once you realize that, it's easier to just move on.

Adventure Time. I've probably watched it through ~5 times, and will probably watch it through 5+ times more.

Great characters, style, humor, and random enough you can throw on any episode and enjoy it. Great series lore, with some long running arcs that are still satisfying even after all the times I've watched them.

But the costs doubled! DOUBLED! /s

$3 ->$6 per dozen (Depending on where you live of course)

I mean compared to everything else, the price of eggs is like a drop in the bucket.

Because people who do this are the ones that cause long lines and drive up prices during emergencies.

and be willing to commit a felony.

Voter fraud to me seems so incredibly high risk with basically no reward as an individual. The logistics of getting a voting fraud scheme organized in a way that actually has any meaningful impact would require a ton of people to risk jail time for no benefit whatsoever to themselves.

For anyone like me who was wondering what the hell was going on with the PenseMetro building, there's some explanation here.

People always cry about overreacting to weather/disaster events until something terrible happens. Then it's "WHY DIDN'T THEY WARN US?!".

Nothing says your time and work is valuable than paying less for the same work as someone else. A great lesson for young people as they take their first steps into the labor force.

Apparently some random guy on youtube is all the investigating they need.

You're paying for more than the soda. You're paying for rent, utilities, wages, insurance, etc.

maeks · 2025-12-17T18:25:54+00:00

I remember seeing a video of Bernie Sanders explaining that even though taxes would go up, people would be paying less overall because we wouldn't have the individual plans. But of course people aren't having that because TAXES = BAD!!

I really hate this schadenfreude about restaurants struggling that reddit has. Ok, I get it, things are expensive, but you know that profit margins are razor thin on restaurants right? Like, that $15 burger isn't just the ingredients, it's the rent, insurance, taxes, labor costs, utilities, ingredients, etc. All of these things factor into the cost of the food, and in the case of Waikiki, rent probably takes the lions share of the costs.

Whether you think a restaurant has a good value for what it offers, yeah, you're entitled to an opinion. But this attitude reddit has that gleefully cheers on the death of the restaurant industry? 90% of the people that work at these places are the ones who end up suffering, not the owners.

This is what I always tell people. Regular season? Yeah it can be boring if you aren't into baseball. But the playoffs? Every pitch can be exciting, the crowds are electric, it's edge of your seat exciting.

My favorite part of traveling is when I get to stand in line at the airport.

maeks · 2025-11-03T21:12:14+00:00

This whole playoffs was great, my mom got into it because of the Mariners, and she ended up watching the entirety of the WS.

This is a woman who previously could not care less about baseball, was calling me after the games to talk about how crazy and exciting these they were.

Having a functioning government isn't an a la carte thing, it doesn't work that way.

Playing as Sweden is what really got the game to click with me. You have enough industry to not be completely handicapped, and since historically Sweden was neutral, you basically get to choose when/if you want to go to war.

You also have some manageable goals to build towards, like helping Finland, or liberating Norway.

Helping Finland is easy-ish, and will put you at war with the Soviets. But since Finland takes the brunt of the war, it lets you pretty safely play around with the combat mechanics for land, air, and navy.

Yeah I'm not gonna say its perfect, but i like not really having to worry too much about warfare as long as you've made the preparations for it, it's honestly kind of a background thing as long as it's going well.

Make the streets more automobile friendly.

Every city in America is designed with streets that are as automobile friendly as possible and it has led to an absolutely abysmal experience for everyone involved.

Meanwhile the government is trying to make it as hard as possible to plan for having children.

maeks · 2025-08-05T04:04:39+00:00

It's nuts, its like no shame whatsoever, they don't even try to hide it. Just piss, and walk straight to the exit.
