  • Americans brace to start New Year without healthcare

    Jump

  • I didn't have healthcare in 2024 either. And it was Democrats who caved agter the 2025 elections to allow the government to reopen without getting the Republicans to extend the subsidies. The Democrats also don't care if you can get healthcare and that's the problem.

  • Americans embrace Aldi as German discounter becomes fastest-growing supermarket in US

    Jump

  • I'm in a semi rural area and you can tell our store is the end of their supply line. Produce is always horrid and worse than walmarts Even their canned goods are of a noticably lower quality than the store brand at kroger or Walmart. I'll stop by there for a handful of specific things every now and then, but only for snacky things like Knoopers.

    Admittedly though, the Aldi by my parents's house in Houston has much higher quality produce, so that seems to be very location dependent.

  • ALL star wars is a soap opera. It's all a spaghetti western set in space

  • poes law

    Jump

  • Its a soap opera plot line without any of the backstory that makes soap operas entertaining. Anakin saying "I don't like sand" monologue is poor because its corny, but it does operate to help us understand Anakin as a character.

  • poes law

    Jump

  • The original series wasn't that great either. But they were all children's movies that were popular with children, and those children saw all the flaws in the next run when they were adults. In the OT, Luke is such an insufferable little bitch who is useless at everything except flying until RoTJ, where he takes this massive messiah complex.

  • A new California law requires a working fridge in all apartments. LA landlords fought it

    Jump

  • Buying homes is a bit different imo. My parents made it clear every time we moved that the fridge and washer/dryer were moving with us. One time we had someone try to say they wanted my dad's Big Green Egg included and he literally told them to fuck off. However, every new build home they bought came with a fridge, microwave, and stove.

  • Fuck it, time for TES rules

    Jump

  • My brother's first character was an Argonian and he used to hide in a Whiterun shed, take his clothes off and say "Hey Lydia, wanna see my little lizard?"

    It's cool. He married Lydia

  • How do people actually fall into the "Tankie" mindset?

    Jump

  • I think you'll find it was Pol Pot that targeted people wearing glasses

  • Capitalism breeds inovation

    Jump

  • They will have the patent on the corresponding driver for the screw, and i doubt they will allow third party shops to purchase the drivers for anything resembling a reasonable price. Meaning that you will be forced to take the car to a BMW authorized mechanic. It's taking away the consumer's right to repair.

  • Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts

    Jump

  • Whovis going to take care of all the 80 year old Japanese people in 50 years when they have less medical staff? What happens to all the empty and decaying buildings that have no one left to maintain them all? What happens to the smaller rural cities with a current population between 75,000-200,000 people when the only job options are hospice care because the local employers can't operate anymore? Decreasing population by 50,000 a year over a few decades is manageable. Japan and Korea are way past that point and there simply won't be enough people to care for the ageing population and shrinking pool of working people and children.

    Those landlords deserved it tbh.

  • I know it's a gravy boat, but i would love to have a Bisto coffee mug. Unfortunately no one stateside knows what Bisto is so the impact would be lost

  • Movie Marketing Used to Be Fun. Now It’s Just Inescapable. — Ads are everywhere, and yet fewer viewers are aware of what’s coming out when.

    Jump

  • I remember going to a movie for s friend's birthday when i was 8 and we all lost our shit seeing the trailer for Revenge of the Sith. But all the movies coming to theaters now are shit so i never go to any movies, which also means i have no clue how to figure out when a good movie is actually coming to the theater.

  • Who remembers this?

    Jump

  • My dad worked for an anchor tenant when i was in highschool. 7/10 of his stores were in malls with only the big box stores, nothing in the small store fronts

  • Who remembers this?

    Jump

  • There are replacement "lifestyle centers" and whatnot now, but the iconic mall from the 80's is essentially dead. Most of them only had anchor tenants (Macy's, Kohls, Dillards, Sears, JC Penny's) 15 years ago when i was in highschool, and that trend has not gotten better.

  • Who remembers this?

    Jump

  • Malls all died out 10-20 years ago with the advent of online shopping. Malls were all at the outskirts of town and their rents kept driving higher and higher, running small local businesses out. As online shopping gained traction, people decided they would rather wait a few days for what they wanted rather than deal with the hassle of driving 45 minutes to the mall for a few things.

  • Putin’s ‘dear friend’ Xi piles pain on Russia’s economy: Making an ally of China has come at a cost for Moscow’s home-grown industries

    Jump

  • Because they were never allies, they both just want to end US hegemony over global finance. They have veey different and often adversarial long term domestic and foreign goals.
