The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Re: Master Epstein Thread
« on: Today at 03:07:00 PM »
They will never turn against him to matter what and aside from supporting him after actually shooting someone on 5th avenue, being fine with him being on the island only proves that point further.

I’m sure the media will call him old and senile for not remembering an EO he signed yesterday right?

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Re: political hobbyist thread
« on: Today at 10:05:53 AM »
The current Dems are undoubtedly the worst politicians the US has seen in....how long? How is it possible that they continually push for the worst possible candidate that will almost assuredly keep the base home on election day? They are losing to a regime that is trampling on the constitution day by day with an old man that is hawking crap daily from the oval office to enrich himself. They aren't even hiding it like they used to. This shouldn't be that hard.

« on: July 07, 2025, 02:00:43 PM »QuoteGrok is doing something very odd right now. It posted blaming DOGE cuts for deaths in the Texas floods, writing, "Facts over feelings." Called out by Musk fans, it doubled down: "Facts aren't woke; they're just facts." Then it backtracked and claimed screenshots of the posts were fake (they're not).

There was another one posted today where someone asked grok if Elon was on Epstein's list. The reply was very specific and used the word "I" multiple times. Elon is basically answering questions directly from his AI bot's twitter account. lol.

“No, they’re going to be tariffs, the tariffs, the tariffs are going to be, the tariffs,” the president began, uncertainly, “I think we’ll have most countries done by July 9, yeah. Either a letter or a deal.”

They just always have to have a boogie man.https://x.com/liz_churchill10/status/1941567170728853677?s=46The ability to ignore like, decades of "global warming will lead to climate change and random extreme weather disasters" warnings and blame it on weather manipulation by Democrats/the deep state is pretty impressive

« on: July 04, 2025, 11:44:37 AM »It's "brown bread" ice cream. Vanilla base with maple syrup and grape nuts. I dont know what brand of rock salt. It's off the shelf from HyVee or Ace.

My in-laws make me turn that rough ridin' thing like once or twice a year. I offer to buy them one that plugs in and turns automatically, but apparently me sweating my ass off in 100 degree weather makes the ice cream taste better.

Are we finally at a tipping point here? This bill appears to potentially be a death knell for many rural areas. I'm not a rural KS expert by any means, but i've read enough to know that many of these small towns are almost dead anyway and if they lose nearby hospitals, they are truly effed. Their already minuscule property values are just going to decline further but they prob don't care much about that because they are going to die in their homes anyway because there is no nearby healthcare. Maybe this is a comment in another or its own thread, but i'm genuinely curious. These people are absolutely mumped right?

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: House buying/owning advice
« on: July 03, 2025, 10:59:40 AM »Congrats to all who bottom ticked the home buying and then bottom ticked the 2.125% 15 year mortgage during covid. Feeling deep sadness for Gen Z tho.
https://x.com/Barchart/status/1940565812563399028
was just having this conversation. i'm locked at 2.75 on a 30. My house value just keeps skyrocketing even though I don't want it to. My first house in PV that I paid 150k for now sits basically untouched from when I owned it amongst mega mansions. I'm sure the owner gets a call or knock on the door daily from someone that wants to buy and knock down. It was an awesome 2 bedroom "starter" home like many others in PV. It's now valued at $350k per tax assessments. Imagine coming out of college and that is the starter home price and your interest rate is 7-8%. No chance of us being able to afford that. It just can't continue...can it?

« on: July 03, 2025, 09:25:10 AM »I had several terrible bouts with the Ivy when I was a youngster but either I developed some sort of immunity to that crap or have just been fortunate enough to not stumble into it anymore.
same with me. I used to get it bad when I was a kid. I would "just get it" at least once a year by being near it and not even in it. It was awful. I just remember by entire arms and legs being covered in bubbles. Suffering through that must have built up immunity or something as I just stopped getting it when I hit HS and now that i'm old ballz.

« on: July 03, 2025, 09:10:58 AM »
No pit stuff here, but i've read that the average will go down as some people will tip less since they won't be taxed. I doubt i'll even think about it. Back in my work travel days, I had a manager that always calculated the tip on the before tax amount. I had never considered that before and it made sense, but I don't do that either.

« on: July 03, 2025, 08:08:40 AM »Before and after school programs is huge.
I don't understand what Maga actually wants. They want mostly uneducated desperate labor, I get it. They want that labor to have kids so there is more desperate labor, I get it. They want to get rid of social programs, I get it. They want to reduce the definition of "able bodied" from 18y/o to 7y/o, I get it. They want to reduce child labor laws so that those able bodied 8 year olds can pull an overnight shift at McDonalds, I get it.
The thing is, you simply can't have all of that. If you want all that labor, you have to make it so they can have kids. Those kids have to go somewhere from the time they are born to when they become strapping able bodied 8 year olds. What do they expect the bottom 50% of the country to do?
This is such a dog-caught-the-car moment. It's wild.
Can someone who voted for this post here and explain the plan, please?
Yep, study after study shows that early child care is hugely beneficial. Plus, common sense shows that helping people out with childcare in general helps parents keep jobs. This is yet another example of them blatantly stating that they don't care about their voters. The problem is the same as before. They will just go on Fox and say all of the above, but that this is what "insert current Dem" wants and idiots will believe it.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Unofficial Movie Trailer Thread
« on: July 02, 2025, 07:56:13 PM »This looks good. But it might be one of those where the trailer is so good that I might be let down by the full movie. Man, the art of trailer editing has skyrocketed the last 10 years. People say it's cliche now to have a reworked popular song but I love it when it makes sense like this. I might read the book first. I read The Martian after watching the The Martian so I'd like to do it the other way around.Can't recommend the book enough. It was very good. I am excited about the show/movie but to me i do think it showed too much...
I read a couple comments to that effect. The last part of the trailer spoils a revelation in the book. Bummer but I still want to read it. Agree that the trailer should have ended at about 2:20.
I'm not really in to space/alien movies and I enjoyed the crap out of this trailer, but have no desire to see the movie after watching it. Like, halfway through I thought I might check it out, but i'm pretty sure I just watched it but without spending 3 hours.

« on: July 02, 2025, 07:53:58 PM »My daily driver is the csp. Hyatt card for my hotel stays. I haven't churned in a long time.
Sent from my moto g stylus 5G (2022) using Tapatalk
same for me. I will churn the SW cards every two years with Mrs SF to keep the companion pass, but that's about it for me. Like Rusty, I like to have a mostly central spot for points that I can move around. Since I don't stay at Marriott anymore for work, I use Hyatt mostly for hotel. I try and use SW to fly since I almost always have a companion pass. Outside of those two, I just grab flights that are the most cost effective, usually through Chase. I have room to grab another card or two, I can never decide on which is the best deal for me so I usually just sit tight.
I think SW is gutting the companion pass as well fyi
whoa, haven't heard this. would be a bummer. I'm on my second year so was planning on what type of business Mrs SF was going to be in for the application this fall.
there was a survey sent out hinting at dropping it and/or only being part of a new 6? tier system and only the top tier getitng it. something like that.
Hopefully I can snag it one last time before any changes. I think lots of the other changes are coming soon, so it will prob be too late. Guess I need to plan some more stuff until end of year and they become even more like all the other shitty airlines.
