I've been telling myself that those of us with retirement savings will be fine. I actually think the market will thrive. Isn't that's the true goal of the republican party? But the people living paycheck to paycheck without any form of savings or investments, who happen to be the ones that voted him back into office, are screwed.

At least that's what I'm telling myself.

I honestly had the same thought too. I don't really get hungry, at least not the same way people describe it. It sounds awful.

Holy shit. I live in a prominent city in the Midwest and tickets are only $11 to $12.

Sure but I don't think we've ever had a candidate with so many former hand picked aids warn us about the end of democracy if he's reelected.

Don't pay them any mind. Theyre just random people on the internet. I've found lemmy to be a pretty hostle place for questions asked in good faith. I did figure out the answer though. So he's only giving people in a specific state the ability to enter into his little raffle. I'm not eligible because I'm not a registered voter in a swing state. This is why it's a federal crime.

Not dumb. It's a legitimate question if we're talking legality.

“Joker” was released at boon times for comic book tentpoles, when the mere idea of superhero fatigue seemed laughable. But the genre has been proven to be less resilient in the post-pandemic era. “Joker: Folie à Deux” joins the ignominious trio of 2023’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” and “The Marvels” — all three are follow-ups to billion-dollar tentpoles that completely collapsed at the box office and became big money-losers. The sequel to 2018’s “Aquaman” tapped out with $439 million globally while the sequel to 2019’s “Captain Marvel” ended its run with just $206 million globally. Those misfires proved audiences will no longer show up simply because there’s a DC or Marvel logo in the title credits.

Because these kinds of movies have become blatent cash grabs. The market is oversaturated with the same formulistic plots reskinned with a different superhero. It's insulting to consumers to assume high profile actors, flashy cgi, and a comic book character is enough to overlook poor storytelling.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to allowing Trump to win. It's the trolly problem and yes I will help pull the lever that kills people to keep even more people from dying.

Preachers kid who also turned out to be queer. I was terrified of getting spanked. Years of my parents telling me my ass was part of my private area and no one should ever touch it then my father pulling my underwear down and spanking me seriously fucked me up.

Iran has a right to defend itself.

 

It makes me want to crawl in a hole and never speak to anyone again.
