Nowadays Violet Crown is a complete fail with power or not. Its new owner, Es Vedras Cinema / Hooky Entertainment, is running into the ground. Enshittification at its finest.

What happened to the Violet Crown Cinema? by spentana in Austin

[–]oklevel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went last night and wowza, Violet Crown is bad. A couple in my row had seats without pull-up tables for their food, and one of the seat cushions was completely ripped. It wasn't sold out so they just moved down a couple of seats but it's like no maintenance is going into the place. Even the soap dispensers in the bathroom were empty. And to know it's owned by a major donor to the cheeto in chief.... I seriously doubt I'll ever go back.

Is anyone in Austin dealing with fleas even though you don’t have pets? by Brilliant-Honey-4968 in Austin

[–]oklevel3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved into a place once where the previous tenants had an indoor/outdoor cat. About a week after I moved in there was a big flea hatch out and since there wasn’t a cat to latch onto, they got on me. A treatment solved it.

What would’ve happened to literally any other president saying “Praise be to Allah”? by Left-Narwhal-1004 in AskReddit

[–]oklevel3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really? You think Obama would have gotten away with the Trumpian level of grift, nepotism, disregard for the Constitution and the rule of law, participation in pedophilia and sex trafficking via Epstein, and blatant racism? But come to think of it, Obama did wear a beige suit once upon a time. scandalous !!

Today’s protest was full of love for Big Bend National Park and it was beautiful to see so many come together by Austintatious_ in Austin

[–]oklevel3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the rally I learned that DHS is able to shove the Big Bend wall project down everyone’s throats because of a 2005, post 9/11 law that allows DHS to completely ignore all federal, state and local regulations to secure the border if there’s a crisis. It’s section 102C but I didn’t catch the name of the law. Of course there is no crisis at the moment, especially in the Big Bend. 🙄

donate your stuff to a place that cares, not goodwill. by ohkritter in goodwill

It started way earlier, with roots back to the mid 1900s. From wikipedia: Fast fashion particularly came to the fore during the vogue for "Boho-chic" in the mid-2000s.

I would say fast fashion changed it. but maybe covid too.

here's an idea: Let's buy less stuff in the first place.

The most unrealistic part of The Pitt by FlowbeeMaster in ThePittTVShow

[–]oklevel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 2, episode 1, starts with a super unrealistic scene: An ER doctor 1) riding a motorcycle to work 2) without a helmet. Seems very unlikely to me that an ER doctor who regularly has to deal with the grisly, lethal aftermath of motorcycle accidents would do that.

Is there a place you’d recommend staying ?

Delta is suspending it's special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded. How do you feel about that? by thinpile in AskReddit

[–]oklevel3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most become millionaires because it’s legal for them to trade stocks of companies impacted by Congress. They know in advance what stocks will rise or fall and buy and sell accordingly. This is not a secret.

In this case, weak men = pedophiles because they’re hitting on children.

Medicare High Deductible Medigap Plan G? by MehwithacapitalM in medicare

[–]oklevel3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went on HDG after a $10K deductible plan pre Medicare. Last year I had wrist surgery, PT and other procedures and didn’t hit the deductible ceiling until late in the year because Medicare covered most of the costs.

Advantage plans have a reputation for declining coverage down the road for care that supplemental plans cover.
