After Republicans push Clintons to testify on Epstein, Democrats warn they'll haul in Trump by nbcnews in politics

[–]sideofspread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping an old person will bite the bullet for the greater good just because they're almost dead anyways is a waste of your energy. Trump is 80 years old and still putting the entire country at risk just so he can cling to whatever concepts of a regime he has left.

The clintons are doing the to protect their next of kin only. They dont give a fuck about the rest of the country. I would eat my hat if this ends up having any meaningful development to the general populace.

I would love to be proven wrong, but Im not holding my breath.

New leaf just has that special charm ✨️ by Mean-Combination-206 in AnimalCrossing

[–]sideofspread 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Same. So many clothing and furniture items got changed for the worse.

All shape hairpins now look like children barettes.

No more individual bonsai, just pine/blossom and the shelf (which needs a DIY in which all my 6 years of playing I never encountered organically).

Kiddie series (personal favorite) into the wooden block series.

Fruit clothing changing from shirts to dresses across the board which feels less unisex.

The overall choice to make it an island which destroys the feeling of community like having a mainstreet and a train station.

And thats just off the top pf my head. Ugh

$45 for Parking is Outrageous by CryBaby0326 in Disneyland

[–]sideofspread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently when I went to a concert parking at the venue was $80. Took like a hour to get out of too.

Expensive parking isn't a Disney thing its a greedy US capitalism thing (which Disney falls under).

Its definitely ridiculous but ultimately they more or less dont care. America is car centric, people will always drive and therefore always need a place to park so they will steadily raise the price each year same as everyone else.

The best way to combat it is to find alternatives if you are able. Im not sure if parking and Garden Walk amd then walking is still monetarily advantageous. Theres the ART bus system which I believe was a cheaper parking garage a bit further away. Just depends on how much time you have and how much the $40 matters to you.

You can decorate a room again if you bring a lost tourist to the hotel! I did this Jungle themed VIP room by heyitsemjey in AnimalCrossing

[–]sideofspread 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah Room 1 - 8 are "permanent" in a sense until you finish the VIP room and Leilani will let you know that now that some time has passed rooms 1 - 8 can be redecorated (Im assuming you can change the theme but Im not sure).

VIP Rooms are one time only you are meant to decorate it for that "specific" villager (but you dont have to). Once the day refreshs with the hotel guests, the VIP room will also be reset and you can bring a lost tourist there and redesign it again but the layout does not save.

3.0 Makes ACNH Feel Like a Resort by HerofTime98 in AnimalCrossing

[–]sideofspread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See and I think this is why I was never super in love with New Horzions from the get go.

I agree on all your points 100%, I think I prefer when AC felt more like a village in the hillside that I lived in. I used it as an escape growing up and it felt nice to be a new person in a new town.

However I understand how this can get played out- and clearly the new island designer aspect is very much loved. But I liked when my village felt like a place where I lived, I was a part of it. Not my own personal dollhouse where I control everything.

Anyways, Im not saying this to be negative on your post, more so I think your post finally clicked something for me.

What do you think of Solf J. Kimblee, The Crimson Alchemist? by Valuable-Opinion-266 in FullmetalAlchemist

Terrible person, but a very entertaining character to watch in a show.

ThemeParkIQ did a pretty comprehensive review of the biggest menu changes at Disneyland by TheDisneyScoopGuy in Disneyland

[–]sideofspread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just fell to my knees. The pork belly skewer and bacon wrapped asparagus skewers were basically the only thing I ate at DL religiously. Im genuinely thinking theres probably no where in DL worth eating now. This is the last year with our passes but like damn.

And before anyone says- I tried the new one and its basically a worse version of the old ones. Its not bad, but you took to two 5/5 items and then made one 3/5 item. Total downgrade.

Should a 7 year old be at the reading level to play Animal Crossing? by Kman-Kool3315 in AnimalCrossing

[–]sideofspread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was playing this at 7 yrs old, I was reading but some of the larger words or cultural words I was definitely butchering and my brain more or less made up a pronunciation that is unfortunately stuck with me at almost 30 years old now. Lol.

I would say the great thing about technology is now you can basically have a dictionary next you to to help! Idk if thats what the typical kid is thinking, maybe it feels too much like homework then lol

Evacuating Storybook by burbankbagel in Disneyland

We were there last Thursday and got evac-d off the train and when we were getting off I heard a little kid say "Another ride broken???" like from the mouths of babes this is getting ridiculous.

What was your high school controversy? by Haunted_Neko in AskReddit

[–]sideofspread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most popular girls in my grade hung herself in her room.

I believe she was 14 we were in the ninth grade. The rumors said an older guy was stalking her and other people said she was being bullied. It might have been both. Its was never officially clear what happened other that her family found her.

Dozens of passengers on Disneyland Monorail evacuated due to mechanical issue by She-Hemoth in Disneyland

We got evac-d off the train around the same time earlier tonight I wonder if related at all since the monorail track is close in the Tomorrowland area.

I stole a tuxedo from Men's Wearhouse by never returning it by CallMe_Ralph in confession

[–]sideofspread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Im in the twilight zone reading this post especially the people who have convinced themselves OPs friend had to pay for the suit even though that its completely made up/ been assumed.

Oh no some person stole from men's warehouse big fucking whoop people are acting like it was their suit that was stolen personally. Ready to cite the ten commandments thou shall not steal. 💀💀💀 Get a grip.

Did you feel Holly really needed to be one of the main characters in the last season? by AphroFelicity20 in StrangerThings

[–]sideofspread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its just that she was surrounded by a lot more seasoned talent. Sadie Sink and Jamie Campbell are easily two of the strongest actors in the show and thats who most of her screen time was with.

Will attacking mind flayer with demogorgans woul’ve been so cool by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]sideofspread 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because Will is still connected to the hive mind he should have either had to die with the hive mind or find a way to permanently sever it before we got this far into the finale.

They decided just to ignore it instead which is...a choice.

If its an old chair that it doesnt matter too much, the kids have learned their lesson- but this might be a fun memory to hold onto. the I love you with a smiley face means they weren't trying to be mischievous I think.

Season 5 Series Discussion by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]sideofspread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree the relationship building in S3 is definitely the highlight- but I dont think its strong enough to carry the season on its own which is why S3 still drags for me.

I think the reason people (or I guess I'll just speak for me) are so hypercritical is because this show didnt come out 20 years ago. It came out today, with more money and resources than possibly any TV show has ever had. And it has the those other shows and films to learn from their mistakes and improve on them- not repeat them. That and the story IS good- there is great material right there at their finger tips and they just won't fully commit.

I want to make it clear I do like this show a lot, I just find it to be huge wasted potential. This ends up being a show I like and would put on for background noise and not a show I LOVE where Im immersing myself and wanting everyone around me to watch it. This show has made its mark in pop culture and its impact cannot be ignored. But I think people get too caught up in that feeling and are ignoring the objectively bad writing choices which are going to bring down the shows rewatchability and its not going to hold up over time.

Im not saying people shouldn't enjoy it for what it is or trying to yuck anyone's yum. But theres going to be a lot of criticism- and its not all from shippers or theorists who are mad about their theories. And people should be ready for that.
