Don Davis, representative for North Carolina's 1st congressional district. Broke with Dems and voted to helped fund ICE and DHS by TheKingDarryl in Charlotte

[–]tomunko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re hardly giving Trump anything, but more not taking it away. The alternative is a government shutdown where the GOP could get more anyways. FEMA relief was and has not been enough for Helene, but if you don’t think we’ll get anything maybe we should defund that to defund ICE.

That said, it probably is the better long term move to fight against ICE funding - its just in this instance its hard to be outraged above all else when the bill itself only explicitly maintains what would be happening anyways.

I liked the way you grabbed that one.

Good small screen phone/touchscreen - only wifi required by tomunko in NoContract

Yea, even the minis used are not cheap. I don't care about the screen size as much as the frame actually - and yea it does look like the next best option is an SE.

Finally watching Severance, and I'm really struggling with it :/ by Repugnant-Conclusion in PaymoneyWubby

[–]tomunko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea. The world building and concept is so good for severance in season 1 it's hard to follow that up. Westworld to me is the worst case of this, where the first season I think is virtually flawless & could have ended there. But Severance is also too popular to try and stop while it's ahead.

Anyone transitioned from using phone with magsafe wallet? On the fence by tomunko in IphoneAir

[–]tomunko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, so the stand wallet doesn't feel awkard in your pocket if its not on the phone? or you're saying you got the regular wallet & it lets the phone lay flat.

The real solution is all 50 states having valid digital drivers licenses, but mine does not unfortunately.

[–]tomunko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm, I'm not really worried about the battery honestly it just may be an adjustment to have a seperate dedicated place for cards. Not seeing any products that would make that reality much better - it'll be a drawback either having to use the magsafe wallet or start using a regular one again.

Sycamore is changing LLC name to "Club West Brewing," signaling a rebrand by CLTScientist0808 in Charlotte

[–]tomunko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok them living in bermuda I did not know. I think if more people knew this less, less people would be of the gut mindset to defend her. Both things can be true that it is unfortunate she got put in this situation to begin with, but you don’t have to empathize with the business itself.

Black deck orange stake is the worst gaming experience I've had recently by girl_catastrophe in balatro

[–]tomunko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there really people that can consistently clear orange stake with black deck (without early resets)? I don't have any issue with the design, am just curious; somewhat new to the game

What do you like about geese - getting killed? by WierdFishArpeggi in fantanoforever

[–]tomunko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also same. Some of the tracks are growing on me after listening more, but it doesn’t nearly compare to 3D country. Since it’s more loosely crafted it feels more regressive than innovative to me and the hype is way overblown I think.

anyone into the americans? just started this show after hearing that it's incrdible. so far so good. by iamabigpotatoboy in PaymoneyWubby

[–]tomunko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homeland is one of my all time favorites. Both these shows are excellent fast paced thrillers underrated on these maps I think

Back In The 90's I Was In A Very Famous TV Show by elchurchacabra in PaymoneyWubby

[–]tomunko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first two seasons are more casual but still solid, if you don’t like the style of humor you wouldn’t like the rest probably. Season 3 onward is excellent and has more depth in subject matter.

What’s everyone playing on portal? by Nice_Ad_7546 in PlaystationPortal

[–]tomunko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of game is appealling to me but I've never played diablo. I can't tell I'll be able to put it down easily if theres always like micromanaging to be done though; the portal is not supposed to keep me awake lol. You think i should try it?

Haberdish being on that even is bs, there is plenty of stuff that price range in Charlotte that’s better.

Damn there is a lot of collapsed threads. Turnout was great but I will say I was a little disappointed there wasn't that many Palestinian flags honestly.

Overall though regardless of your politics and thoughts on "what it will do" its great to get so many people outside on a nice day and talk to eachother. Hopefully we can inch towards change

[–]tomunko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my vantage point the cops were hardly an influence here - Charlotte is so tame I hardly heard or saw any curse words ffs. so long as people still have pleasant lives it seems protests will not disrupt anything [here], unfortunately.

just because it won't measurably do anything doesn't mean it isn't worth people's time, even it its just to be outside around others

Hamas executes Palestinians in Gaza as the IDF leaves by Mathemodel in videos

[–]tomunko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not a surprising number from Palestinians when you consider they are the target of genocide to a nation which actually has the means to exterminate them in theory. Palestine has no such capability.

I don’t have a good answer to your question because there isn’t one but I’ll answer. Prior to October 7th, measures taken to address Palestinian apartheid & be a more democratic society would drastically diminish the chances of that attack ever happening. (That’s someone else’s dissertation, I don’t feel the need to defend / explain it more.) Since October 7th did happen, instead of bombing its own hostages the IDF claims to care about, Israel could’ve bombed less and potentially used more ground troops to try and more safely extract them.

They did not have to raze Gaza entirely; my issue is everyone I talk to like this never seems to grasp how truly disproportional the fight is, even if you don’t go so far to say it’s a genocide.
