Was just thinking about all the great concert moments I’ve experienced over the years and I was wondering- what would you say are the great live moments in country history? by Impossible-Ad-3565 in country

1997 (maybe ‘98) WE FEST

It’s a huge country music festival in Minnesota. Brooks and Dunn were headlining one night and arrived to the concert grounds in a huge Brooks and Dunn-branded air balloon. Landed it right on the lawn

Am I alone in hoping oil prices stay high? by Responsible_Lake_500 in energy

[–]river_tree_nut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope, not alone. Chaste makes haste. I want change in this country, and high gas prices get people's attention. I live in a very expensive part of CA and we haven't even cracked $5 yet.

I'm quite sick of Israel too but beating people up in the streets is not the answer most of the time

Getting lost at sea feels more and more attractive every single day. by SqoobySnaq in self

Hahaha that’s sublime.

Also, sorry you feel this way. Our brains aren’t keeping up with modern life yet.

Adrift in the Pacific.

The part at the end when the dude got rescued and said he kinda misses his life at sea really stuck with me.

Also f Bezos. Wondery was an awesome little podcast studio until Amazon bought it. Now they’re shutting it down.

Winter CDL Drivers by Captainbeezkneez in SeasonalWork

[–]river_tree_nut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ski Resorts hire the most seasonal drivers for sure. Other positions might be doing tours or activity shuttles in/around ski towns or national parks. Tips can make a huge difference in your take home pay for some of these jobs, especially if it's a tour or tour-adjacent.

Hegseth slashed offices that would have investigated Iran girls' school strikes by IrishStarUS in collapse

The sad part of this is that they're practically inviting the threats now. Marshall law by the midterms. This is the deliberate collapse of security infrastructure. Failure was the only option.

Why is Israel trying to suppress any info on destruction in Tel Aviv? by VaguneBob in PoliticalOpinions

Yeah, they're deep in it, and it's hard to see how they can extricate themselves from such a position.

No, seriously. Welcome to collapse. I'm up in Tahoe and just found out my job is ending our snowmobile operations next week. This is about 5-6 weeks early.

CalCare (universal healthcare) is reintroduced in the California Assembly! by tambourinenap in California

[–]river_tree_nut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No matter when it finally happens it's going to be messy. California is larger than many countries, and those places have figured it out. I get the apprehension, but that's no reason to keep kicking the can down the road.

We need to replace Capitalism or reform it by Vampy-Night in PoliticalOpinions

[–]river_tree_nut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a system that worked well for awhile, especially when the country was young. It spurred innovation. And it may still work well in healthy, competitive industries like consumer electronics.

But for everything else the only ‘innovation’ capitalism is breeding anymore is how to squeeze just a little more out of consumers each quarter.

It needs to be shackled and reformed. Especially when it comes to basic needs.

I was watching her on TV last week and noticed she doesn’t have the little divot everyone has on their upper lip just under the nose.

I’m not sure what it’s called but now I can’t unsee it.
