The democrats haven’t won the presidential election without Michigan since 1976. It was a factor before. It will be a factor next time. You can hate it, but Muslim/Arab happiness in terms of foreign policy is forever going to be a factor. Do you wanna be right or do you want to win?

No one Black is Baffled. It's not relevant. We knew it wouldnt be a factor in the report. Voters do not prioritize foreign conflicts in which we have no boots on the ground.

@Junnurin27 I think once realizing he was powerless he should have slit his throat to not give Butcher or the audience the satisfaction. It should be a little unsatisfying, it hits the Trump metaphor better even, he’s never going to prison. It would have been more in line with the character.

Homelander dying in the end is fine, and yes I know he has a childish nature about him which remained a core part of his character but his death could have been written so so differently as opposed to Kripke's sick mind making sex jokes 🤦♂️ HL is a multi layered character with

The Jewish community needs to use "psychological warfare" and "psyops" to get people to support Israel, Zionist activist Melanie Phillips tells a Jewish gathering at the Begin Center in Jerusalem.

A store with endangered media would be great like until recently Dogma was $500 on DVD or Kundun is hard to find on American region. A store bearing the brunt of those cost prohibitive movies you just wanna see once would be great. Also niche but there’s a need for older pro wrestling that is nowhere except dvds

Blockbuster was the end-state death-phase of video stores. The introduction of blockbuster made video store-going FAR less pleasurable, and it was only offset by the fact that my local one had a sizable corner devoted to obscure non-blockbuster films. So, yeah, Blockbuster nostalgia is bogus.
But I would love to bring back video stores.
Neighborhood-owned video stores curated by film nerds with eclectic tastes.

Now they're making up 1950s advertising-style fables about Blockbuster. Going to Blockbuster was not some communal ritual.

Is it me or … is there nothing on TV?
I feel like the only interesting and original shows on TV are Euphoria, Landsman, and, when they come on, White Lotus and The Studio. Oh and St. Denis is v funny. So that’s five.
Am I missing something?

In mid April, Netflix had its two worst weeks of streaming since Nielsen started measuring. The week of April 13, its highest-rated programming was reruns of Grey's Anatomy.

@FanSince09 Ok I was gonna say with screenings I think that model works too. Crying in Chicago 😭
English
@GarlicBread69 this is basically what the existing video stores in LA do, just build up their cult sections, occasionally have screenings
English
No. We’re not doing this. Blockbuster sucked. The mom and pop video store was cool but Blockbuster was bad, the whole process of going to blockbuster was bad. I’m a physical media guy but there isn’t anything I miss about blockbuster
Video stories died out bc people were tired of Blockbuster. The late fees, never having what you want to see, scratched discs and worn out tapes.
Paul Anleitner@PaulAnleitner
If Pizza Hut can return, then we can resurrect Blockbuster. And we should. While Netflix made things more “convenient” we lost something irreplaceable: The ritual of going to a place with your family or friends to choose a story together. That experience was special.

@NiceMangos What’s funny here is the bagel was created by Jewish people….in Krakow Poland…in the 1600s. A real act of defiance would be an Israeli dish, but that is non existent.

The spreadsheet math on this is brutal. She left roughly $54 million on the table. Yet she probably just made the best financial decision of her life.
$1M in an S&P 500 index fund at age 20 compounds to approximately $58M in inflation-adjusted terms by age 80. The historical real return is about 7% annually over 97 years of data. Her annuity pays $52,000 a year. Over 60 years that totals $3.1M. The gap is 18x.
Every finance account in these replies will tell you she's wrong. The compounding math is clear. Take the lump sum, put it in VOO, don't touch it for 60 years.
The Certified Financial Planner Board says roughly a third of lottery winners declare bankruptcy within five years. Illinois court records show 28% of winners who won $50K or more went bankrupt in the same window. The average winner spends 60% of their winnings on family and friends in the first two years.
She's 20. Peak impulsivity, minimal financial literacy, and every person she's ever met just found out she has a million dollars in her checking account. The $1M doesn't go into a Vanguard account. It goes into the most socially pressured spending environment a human being can occupy.
$1,000 a week is a permanent $52K salary, tax-free in Canada, that arrives whether she makes good decisions or catastrophic ones. Can't be drained by a partner. Can't be lost to a scam. Can't be "invested" in a cousin's restaurant. Shows up every Friday for the rest of her life.
The spreadsheet says lump sum by 18x. The data on what actually happens to people who receive $1M at 20 says she just bought the most expensive insurance policy in lottery history, and it was worth every dollar she gave up.
DividendBoomer@BoomerDivvies
An 20-year-old Canadian girl won $1M (tax free in Canada) in the lottery and chose $1,000/week instead of the lump sum. Is this wise or the worst financial decision of her life? What are you doing when this happens to you??
English
@SeanMcCarthyCom Yeah, but it would be hard to do today because we’d have to see Israeli’s continue to stuff their faces while we are rationing.
English
Rationing was unpopular in WW1 and WW2 but people grumbled and accepted it. There was a general sense of shared sacrifice and duty then. Now imagine rationing today after Americans have absorbed more than 40 years of Reaganite “you are the only person who matters” propaganda

It's telling that they're all denying the dog rape but not the mass rape and sexual assault of Palestinian children.
Nikki Haley@NikkiHaley
Claiming Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinians is modern day blood libel — propaganda pushed as more horrific details emerge about Hamas’ systematic torture on Oct. 7. For being Jewish — Hamas raped a woman and burnt half of her face off in front of her husband; shoved nails, metal, and sharp objects into Israeli women; forced family members to sexually assault each other so that if they survived they would be traumatized by the sight of each other; raped corpses; the list goes on. Distracting from these atrocities and smearing Israel while victims still fight for acknowledgment is sickening.

@OC_MurphysLaw @KVN_03 Yes. A no-call should allowed to be challenged. I say that as not even a Saints fan.
English
@KVN_03 Challenges... allow your 3 challenges to challenge ANY play / penalty / non-penalty... applied only to clear and obvious ruling. So say on a holding call that was an obvious miss could be challenged for a penalty or reversed if a penalty was called but clear it was no hold.

@BadFilmTakes1 Fun fact: Mario Puzo invented the persona of dignified suit wearing guys that the real mafia adopted after the book came out.

I never caught this detail. That's so interesting. I love how the Sopranos treats mob culture as moths to a flame. It gets people killed despite the allure.
Gangster Cinema Central@GangsterCinema
In The Sopranos, when Jackie Jr. holds a “sit-down” with dealers who want to push ecstasy in Adriana’s club, he's clearly trying to mimic Vito Corleone from The Godfather Part II - playing the role of mob boss while he’s totally in over his head.
