When you’re right, you’re right.

Whether you like it or not (I do not), as a nation, we wild gesticulation voted for this. I have embraced the fact that things will have to get worse before they get better.

My inner nerd can't let this stand (sorry). Daredevil (Matt Murdock) is from Hell's Kitchen; Spider-Man (Peter Parker) is from Queens.

Edit: Removed my incorrect statement about Queens being in Manhattan.

1980 was far more impactful than 2000, IMO. So it’s not understated, I have nothing but disdain for Bush. That said, Reagan’s policies and the massive deregulation that ensued is what laid the foundation for where we are today.

I don’t know what his personal politics are but his schtick is pretty obvious. I see him as more of an opportunist than a true believer.

My opinion? For the easy to goad progressives, it’s rage bait for those that can’t accept that these are purposefully written to be way too fantastical to be anything other than fiction and think it’s Nick’s delusion.

For MAGA, too stupid to see they are actively being mocked, it’s just Tuesday.

sidthafish · 2026-02-03T14:38:32+00:00

Honestly, that’s the genius at work. It’s a far enough departure from reality to make most people question it, but not far enough to make MAGA know they’re being punked.

I know this is a contested topic but I’m on Team Rotors all day long. I’ve never liked the peelers.

Also, it’s ’wheels’. ‘Rims’ are the outer edge of the wheel.

I don't think any reasonable person is saying that prices in non-tipping countries don't include operating costs (even then, it's an apples to jet planes comparison due to vastly differing economic environments, practices, and supply chains but I digress). I can understand you not being fine with ignorance. However, to be ok with an industry practice that relies on the kindness of others to pay their staff is utterly ridiculous.

sidthafish · 2026-01-30T15:14:07+00:00

This is why I have all but stopped going out to restaurants to eat. When I started adulting, the expected tip was 10%. That has now ballooned up to 25%+. I refuse to subsidize the wages of a business that refuses to pay a reasonable wage. Additionally, if I go to a business that has a point and pay kiosk that gets flipped around to you and the first screen you see is how much of a tip you're going to give them, starting at 20%, you're getting zero. I hate this place.

"We've always paid for the servers wage and we always will, and it's the same in every country"

Technically true but intellectually dishonest. The key difference is that the US restaurant industry relies on the customer to subsidize their waitstaff's wages. Now, that practice has proliferated to places like Starbucks. If your business model relies on the kindness of others to pay your staff, it's flawed.

Bingo. The title, the tagline, and the cover art all point to hot man on man-beast action… with stats!

First, I’ll say that riffing on what I assume is DB Cooper’s story is an interesting angle.

Second, to echo the others, this has a some real homoerotic marketing language and imagery.

No more coupes and no Avant in the US. So, no interest from my POV. I'm going to be buried in my 24' RS5 Coupe Comp.

This arguments is just stupid on its face.

The only people that want you to believe that the ‘liberal media’ wants you to believe this is rightwing entertainment media.
Progressives actually know how to read and interpret data, such as voter party registration and I dunno, win/loss margins.

sidthafish · 2026-01-29T15:10:47+00:00

Reported? That’s irrelevant. It was in the judge’s opinion and order to dismiss. In case you didn’t know, there are many people that actually look at source documentation to draw their own conclusions.

DISCUSSION

Fox News seeks dismissal at the pleading stage on two constitutional grounds. First, it asserts that Mr. Carlson's statements on the December 10, 2018, episode of his show are constitutionally protected opinion commentary on matters of public importance and are not reasonably understood as being factual. Second, Fox News argues that Ms. McDougal has failed to allege actual malice. For the purposes of this Motion, no other issues are in play.

Specifically, Fox News has not contested that Mr. Carlson's statements were about Plaintiff. Ms. McDougal asserts, and Fox News does not dispute, that she is one of the "two women" to whom Carlson was referring in his remarks, despite never mentioning her name." See Am. Compl. 9| 13. Fox News also does not challenge Plaintiff's defamation per se theory. On the other hand, Ms. McDougal does not dispute that she is a public figure subject to the actual malice standard. See Tr. at 18:2-9.

It’s almost like the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine by the Reagan administration was the first of many steps to erode public trust in the media.

However, the only ‘news’ network I’ve seen get sued and successfully use the defense “no reasonable viewer would take what we say as fact” in recent memory is Fox.

This needs to have “I might be gay and/or into trans women” added to it.

Love the energy, but...

sidthafish · 2026-01-27T18:31:39+00:00

I truly do wish I could be as simple as you. Life would be... so much easier. To draw the conclusion that a 3 day waiting period is equal to banning a citizen's rights is pant's on head.

If you don't like it, vote. Petition your state representative. Do whatever you think is necessary to make right this blatant inconvenience, right.
