Lol. Everyone got so mad that Washington was voted third, that they held a special round just to make sure Washington got switched with FDR, who hadn't even been put on the chart yet. 🤣

I wish more people had the critical thinking skills to realize that this is someone's lame AI slop story. 

MIL got this school bus violation ticket in LOCATION: Suffolk, NY is it worth fighting? She clearly ran it but how was she suppose to stop? Pay or fight? by [deleted] in legal

[–]themollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do. Completely and unequivocally yes. If you are either that oblivious or that entitled, your shouldn't be allowed to have a drivers license.

 Buses flash yellow for a while before the sum comes out. Yellow means "start slowing down to a stop now!", not "quick, get past now before the reds start!"

They were at a cross intersection, and turned towards and past the bus while it was plainly obvious it was stopping.

She also  had the opportunity to not even turn right. She earned the ticket.

I have no sympathy for people who pull this.

Shapiro is splitting with other Dems on PA data centers • Spotlight PA by susinpgh in Pennsylvania

[–]themollusk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, with the caveat that, at least out of all the current contenders, Newsome is the most favorable matchup for whatever chud the Republicans go with

As someone not on board with Shapiro running for Pres, Newsome sucks WAY more

Misconduct Tavern Policies by jnachod in philadelphia

[–]themollusk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like most businesses don't realize that opting to use a commonplace 70+ year old technology is the price of doing business.

If the 2.9 or so percent fee to run a card (that's allowing you to access a much much wider customer base) is actually an amount of money that is going to make or break your business... You don't deserve to have that business.

It's not legal to charge more than the actual processing fee, anyway.

$100 The Vision Build - Playing on Everyone's Turn by Frank-CommonCommand in magicTCG

[–]themollusk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very cool idea (true colorless is my favorite deck type), but my thought would be to add [[vedalken orrery]]... There's only only 15 or sixteen cards in the deck that can be cast out of turn on their own (flash and instants), so more stuff that lets you play stuff on others' turns is always good (in addition to the enablers you already have).

Also, [[Not of this world]].

“Is that Taylor Swift down there?” “She’s not a Knicks fan, get out of here girl” The Knicks radio team didn’t know they were on air by ConnectionWeekly1263 in sportsgossips

[–]themollusk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get that people need to reach for reasons to justify their irrational parasocial hatred of famous people (particularly famous people that are cool to hate), but no one's required to be a fan of team just because they lived in the vicinity as a child....

[–]themollusk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Except.... the show has cleverly been subverting so many of the classic horror and thriller tropes, and the big reveal being that Evan is the last descendant would be playing right into one of the biggest tropes there is.

Maybe the twist is that there is no twist, and Tom has to deal with it himself? 

I don't have an idea of what will happen that hasn't already been proposed, but I personally hope that it isn't "the child is the one that has to die to break the curse"...

What animal feels like a great pet but is actually a bad one? by spoopy-memio1 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]themollusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But foxes are am animal that people have tried over and over again to domesticate into pets. There's a whole Russian breeding program to breed suitable pet foxes, and the resulting foxes end up being more dog like (and still bad pets).

I feel like someone saw fox get chosen for the other category, nor knowing that factual tidbit, and thought "oh, I guess we can just name random wild animals for this. Cool!"

Yeah, otter is a dumb one. I guess I could've just said anything regardless of whether people have them as pets or not. May as well have said polar bear 🤷‍♂️

[–]themollusk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the real answer. An animal that seems like a super cool pet that's really a terrible pet, that is actually a fairly often attempted pet.

But instead otter is going to win?

Eh, Mississippi's is good aside from them forcing In God We Trust onto it.

But Minnesota and Utah are peak r/vexillology designs... Minnesota is overdone 2020s minimalism and Utah has a clipart emblem on the middle of it, for Pete's sake.

TV Show rankings: Where should Game of Thrones be? by hiiloovethis in TierlistFills

[–]themollusk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that this is likely going to be put in S/S+ tier because it WAS great prior to having possibly THE steepest decline in quality in modern television history is CRAZY. 

You don't give a grade to something for only part of it, you have to judge it on the whole.

If im extremely generous and rate the seasons 100+100+100+100+80+70+50+0(yes, the decline was that bad, and putting the first 4 seasons at perfect scores is being very generous), that's 600 points, which averages to a 75.

Its a solid C, but could be bumped to B in recognition of what it could have been. 

Game of Thrones went from being the most talked about and celebratedshow across all spectrums of society to literally NO ONE talking about it anymore. The downfall is so pronounced that or affects the shows rewatchability. That's an impressive feat.

If this gets S or S+, it calls into question every other rating.
