@therlwrites Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th enter the conversation

@chunks1nees @Nina7Infinity @amazon @AmazonMGMStudio Regardless of what you think of modern media (everyone has their own taste) the fact that you frame it as "normal people" is the problem.

I guarantee you that something you like and hold dear is considered weird as fuck to a lot of others.

Hell, even just Sci-Fi itself.

I love how the overlay of the UK is covering a part of the US that really illustrates "why" high speed rail makes little sense for much of the country.

The UK has around 66-67 million people.

Colorado and Wyoming combined have about 6.6 million. 1/10th in about the same area.

The US has one of the largest rail networks on Earth. We just use it for the part that still makes economic sense here: freight.

Passenger rail stopped being viable as a private business shortly after WWII.

Cars took short and medium trips. Airlines took long trips. Highways and airports got massive public investment.

By the 1960s, private railroads were losing money on passenger service, which is why Amtrak was created in 1970 (and it's been losing money ever since)

The US has tons of rail routes, and trains.

They’re just hauling cargo.

@vizartez @Variety Yeah, because Noone has any clue when, or where, that movie will show up in the future.

*EVERYONE* Knows Mandalorian and Grogu will be on Disney +, so people with that subscription have an informed option to wait and watch it for money they're already spending instead of $50.

[Polyteknix⚔💙❤️🖤 @jamesmoon80]

@Variety Stop with the bashing of the movie/ Star Wars' general direction.

You're all missing the point - For me alone to get a ticket, a *small* popcorn, a *small* drink, and some Twizzlers it was $50.

It's why the $$$ ones anymore are kids flicks where parents are desperate to go out.

@Amardixit27 @sapphyreblayze And when it is 2 degrees Celsius outside for months on end? When it rains 4 days in a row and is overcast for a week straight?

Different places have different realties. Stop trying to apply adaptations to that as some kind of "morality" issue.

@jcook1336 @the_det_times @DetroitTigersPR And? Still better odds and deal than Alex Cobb 😂

@alsemancher_ @ConspiracyBull1 88% of the *microscopic* audience of young people watching a https://t.co/osM8BzZ5Su streamer is nowhere near a good representation of "America". You really think that is a demographically diverse group?

@BeckyLynchWWE @krakenfx I saw the 3rd photo first while scrolling and didn't really look at the name close initially.

I swear I went, "when did @thebeccascott get so jacked"?

@SoveyX Ask a plumber if that would be efficient (to run alternating wall and floor). I'm not one, but seems it might be a complication?

Tomorrow, I will once again be able to put aside any sense of shame. For one day a year, I can shrug off the critics and malign of strangers. Stand with my head held high.

My name is James. And I make #whitepeopletacos

@AcePapers96261 @amort9924 Look at their Run Differential and most stats besides Wins.

@PAWSDetroit Need the birthday update!

[Polyteknix⚔💙❤️🖤 @jamesmoon80]

@RandyGoat That theory of economic thought works when there is a balanced supply and demand vs income.

We have more people then ever before and less need for them in the workforce. Incomes are shrinking. But not everyone's need to eat...

People can't just withhold their PPP to lower price

[Polyteknix⚔💙❤️🖤 @jamesmoon80]

@WallStreetMav Rich people are only rich because they have something poor people need (or something that other rich people catering to poor people need).

[Polyteknix⚔💙❤️🖤 @jamesmoon80]

@constans Now how many people are making double what they were 20 years ago? A percentage of the population (and specifically renters). A person who made $35k a year and has a great career history now making $150k still only counts as one to offest the person who went from $35k to $60k.

[Polyteknix⚔💙❤️🖤 @jamesmoon80]

@9Sling @greendragonhq @amitylee13 Because automation and other changes in society have created a widening gap between the jobs that need people and the people that need work. The employees don't have the leverage because businesses can bankrupt as a fail state - people die.

[Polyteknix⚔💙❤️🖤 @jamesmoon80]

@chudbastard 2008 would like a moment.

Assuming 9% rate of return is negligence.

And even if it *averages* 9%, do the math on a year at 5% followed by a year at 13% with the same withdrawals.

Order of gains matters.

[Polyteknix⚔💙❤️🖤 @jamesmoon80]

@Houseofyogi How many jobs were lost by DOGE? How many families now facing income insecurity?

I seem to recall the mentions then being "skilled workers will find other opportunities".

GFY.
