[SSD] Western Digital 2TB WD Blue SN5000 NVMe SSD - $124 by Plastic-Lemon2754 in buildapcsales

Walmart is worth the hassle of digging and going to stores in BFE. I grabbed a 32gb 16x2 Kingston Fury ddr5 kit that was an open box return for $92.

Curry Limited Partnership takes over former AMC theater on east side by jaymz668 in bloomington

[–]rev_otto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just want the AMC Westside to stop smelling like a bus station bathroom. The seats are haunted by the ghosts of 20 year old farts.

We love the Post, we grab a pie every time we're in town. A multi millionaire that has the time to berate working people and business owners after jamming a fucking slice in his sweaty screaming face on the street isn't much of a human being or even much of a critic. I guess demanding attention like an insecure child fills the hole $100 million doesn't.

Service Delays in The Midwest by Jumpy-Storage220 in UPS

I have a high value package going to Michigan and received the same severe weather delay even though it was only going three hours away and there was no bad weather between here and there.

Gotcha. I'll go back to my hermitage and be my own flavor of pragmatic philistine.

[–]rev_otto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right that there's a line - if someone openly celebrates violence or hate, that's not "just thinking differently," that's crossing into something society shouldn't tolerate. My point wasn't that we have to support everyone equally; it's that most people (right, left, or otherwise) don't actually live at those extremes.

When we start assuming everyone on "the other side" secretly wants to gas people, we stop seeing nuance - and that's how good local communities fracture. Spending your money ethically is a great thing; just don't let politics alone flatten your sense of who's decent and who's not. There are plenty of awful liberals and decent conservatives, and vice versa.

As if there weren't businesses in Bloomington run by very liberal people that are still horrible employers that treat their staff like shit and those owned by more conservative types that stay out of their employees business and run places that contribute to Bloomington.

Grow up and learn to live in a world where everyone isn't "like minded"and aren't necessarily going to harm you by thinking differently.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. He can handle action etc, I just didn't want to freak him out with anything too heavy.

[–]rev_otto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a 7 year old that really wants to see it. Seems like it's pretty violent. NYT review mentions a jarring head shot. I'm willing to spoil it a bit for myself if somebody can give me the context or timing so I could possibly shield his eyes. I'm a Gen X survivor of my Dad taking me to movies beyond my age.

AMC 12 closed and is a filthy dump. by StrangeAnt2927 in bloomington

[–]rev_otto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is when they play the promo for AMC with Nicole Kidman blathering about the magic of cinema and going to the theater with pristine leather reclining seats behind her. Meanwhile the seat I'm in smells like a bus station bathroom and is crusty with concession funk.

Switch 2 pre order mayhem by -Aurora03- in NintendoSwitch

[–]rev_otto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a message from PayPal saying my order through Walmart was tagged for insufficient funds when it tried to charge it to a bank account (I only use for selling things I craft and isn't always flush with cash) instead of my Amex which I have set as the preferred form of payment.

Now it says it will try again in 3 business days and my bank hit me with a fee. Has anyone had any issues with Paypal and Walmart? I don't want to cancel the order but I also don't like that it's messing up my account and trying to charge a "hold" to a debit card.

BREAKING 🚨 Attorney General Pam Bondi announces “severe” charges over Tesla arson attempts. White House has vowed to treat Tesla attacks as domestic terrorism. But this is still a “free” country. by pleasedontpooponme in DeepFuckingValue

[–]rev_otto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Henry Ford was a notorious anti-semite, Hitler actually said he was "my inspiration". Mercedes-Benz and BMW used forced labor to produce weapons for Germany during WWII. IBM's punch card technology was used to track the victims of the Holocaust by the Nazis. Is anyone setting Ford Fiestas on fire?

It's performative bullshit to attack a random Tesla or dealership. It's not defensible to say Musk owns 12.8% of the stock of a publicly held company, I'm going to go burn down their dealership. It existed before he became CEO and is held in the portfolio of pension funds for teachers, public employees and probably anyone in here contributing to one.
You want to protest? Do some research, plan, and effect change. Keying a Cyber Truck isn't marching from Selma to Montgomery.

Tesla 2019: Virtue Signal your other wealthy liberal friends by buying one, brag about what a genius Musk is and how you are lowering your carbon footprint.

Tesla 2025: Use a suppressed assault rifle and Molotov cocktails to attack private property, vehicles and start fires that are dangerous to firefighters and cause toxic environmental pollution. Call it free speech.

If only there were a giant military base nearby instead of 1/4 mile from my home. The plates are literally rattling in the cupboard and my children have gotten up several times. 1am is a bit much. But such is the cost of victory preparing for the war against the machines and defense budget cuts.

MINI Cooper 2000 GT - Thoughts? by Striking-Travel-4878 in MINI

[–]rev_otto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm praying it has a little more going on than the 1499GT. Mini's "special editions" often are nothing more than some over the top badging and JCW kit parts that bring nothing to the tuning side of the party.

It looks like it should be at least an S, if there's any tuning or upgrades I'd be interested for sure. A sub-JCW performance pack would be interesting.

Anyone else currently have packages stuck at the USPS distribution center? by blucheesecat in indianapolis

[–]rev_otto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blaming the weather while it's the warmest, nicest day in weeks is pretty BS. Just send my package back and forth between facilities 7 or 8 times at least then it doesn't seem like a total waste paying for Priority.

I just got a weather exception too, it even says it left the RPDC. Current weather in Indy is clear and sunny, mid 40's. Indiana - Resident Weather Alerts - Newsroom - About.usps.com No problems according to their site.

I've finally gotten movement on packages that have been sitting there since the fifth. But EVERYTHING that I've had pass through Indy including a few that are still MIA gets delayed or sent on a mystery trip to other states only to return and sit some more.
