How did you interpret unfreezing their own assets as us giving them money?

It is an interesting development that even the liberals on the court have been writing down at her. She’s been objectively terrible on an unprecedented level.

Pretty telling that we’re running through the IRGC like a hot knife through butter but leaving the nation army guys relatively in-tact. I think there’s some holdout of hope that the national army will assist in a coup of the regime elements. We’ll see how long that lasts.

re: End of Owning your own console

Posted by Dixie Normus on 3/30/26 at 12:14 pm to MountainDewGF

I don't really understand what gamers expect with consoles. They want top of the line parts, but prices that are literally the exact same as what they were in 20 years ago. You don’t get both. The PS3 20gig (not 60) released for 500. Just inflation puts that price over $800 today. I don’t see how it’s realistic to keep that price point off of basic economics.

re: So Iran keeps destroying US/Israeli infrastructure..Trump keeps saying they are crippled..

Posted by Dixie Normus on 3/30/26 at 10:50 am to Tigahs24Seven

People can have issues with causes or secondary effects or the war like oil prices. Those are legitimate or valid concerns that people can, at least realistically, disagree over. However, the suggestion that Iran is “winning” is just asinine. There’s a strike happening on their government, military, or personnel in their capital city every 15 minutes (or less) for the last month. The most damage they’ve done to us is hit a few parked planes. We’re doing this with literally 20% of the fleet in one branch of our military. We’re not even remotely close to capacity of what we can do.

There’s really no way to describe how silly it is to say that Iran is winning.

Not against anything I’m aware of. There’s a wealthy guy in the LC area that has an ac to grind against one of the judges there and has billboards all over the place attacking the judge.

Did you play sports growing up? A team has different opinions, beliefs, and disagreements privately, but a good team/teammate always support(s) each other in front of others even if they disagree with the ultimate direction chosen by the team. It’s teamwork 101 that you don’t publicly dog on your teammates regardless of how you personally feel.

They don’t all have to agree on every decision and it’s a positive thing if they don’t. Adversity breeds excellence; not a bunch of yes men. The only thing that matters is they support each other publicly which seems like they have more or less.

Posted by Dixie Normus on 3/2/26 at 1:35 pm to Bass Tiger

I find it hard to believe that we signed up for a war waged largely by strikes with the expectation it would go on for a week to then run out of defensive ammo in the first 4-5 days

I wouldn’t put a deliberate miss past them. They would be so unbelievably fricked if they touched that carrier. The last time someone sunk one of our boats in combat, we dropped nukes on them…

How do people not see the reverse of this happening? Star player plays 9 games and decides he doesn’t think team is going to make the playoffs so he shuts it down to transfer to a perceived contender the next season.

The kid from Washington is elite. I’m glad LSU didn’t get him.

Of the two, Williams would’ve been my preference but I think they’re very similar overall. Leavitt just comes with more injury risk. The Elon transfer looks like he has a lot of potential (definitely has the arm strength), just don’t know if that translates to D1.

No matter what, hard to see how the offense isn’t better considering LSU’s 2025 offense was objectively the worst LSU offense in my ~30 year lifetime. Even worse than some of Miles’ worst work.

A lot of them. LSU’s ‘25 portal class led to 9-10 starters with 7-8 of those being 80% of the bright spots on an otherwise mediocre to bad team.

re: Every American is paying a $1,000-plus corruption tax annually.

Posted by Dixie Normus on 1/6/26 at 7:53 am to The Torch

Some math presented without comment. There were roughly 163m tax returns filed last year. Of those, roughly 60% (97.8m) owed federal income tax over the course of the year. A couple assumptions (a) potential scope of $1b to $16b in losses across federal and state programs, and (b) 75% of the funding was directly from feds or indirectly reimbursed by the feds and the rest from Minn (I’m estimating here because quick google search is unclear). That means the average cost of this to the average non-Minn taxpayer was between $7.66 to $122.70. It’s even higher for Minn taxpayers (roughly $10 to $160). These are a little skewed because some of these were Medicaid programs that even people who didn’t pay federal income taxes did pay into that system via payroll tax.

This is only what’s been uncovered in one state that is middle of the pack in population (22nd with ~5.8m)…. If you just took a proportional number (1:1 in terms of loss per taxpayer) and applied it to California based on population those numbers go up by 6.83x or $52.32 to $838.04 per non-CA taxpayer.

This is an appellate decision. It would have to go to a rehearing or the Supreme Court next and there’s a very near 0% chance USSC would take the writ given they recently addressed gun rights.

The volume two episodes had me thinking they would blow it, but I liked the ending for the most part. A few things I would’ve liked to see done differently, but overall solid.

re: Stranger Things S5 - Volume 2

Posted by Dixie Normus on 12/29/25 at 11:12 pm to Lanelsu83

Man, you’re really taking this personally. I’ve loved the show (including seasons 2 and 3 which people seem to dump on), but the lackluster volume 2 episodes have some red flags of the show ending in a dud. I hope they prove me wrong on NYE because I like the show and, apparently, for the good of your psyche with all that emotional attachment.

That said, I’ll humor you a bit. It appears you’re looking at IMDb ratings in your fit over my tongue-in-cheek joke and don’t fully understand how those ratings take shape over time. Take a look at how many ratings are in for ST5 and GoT8. The number of ratings on GoT8 triples most episodes of ST5. You can rate any episode of either yourself to this very day if you’d like. IMDb ratings, long-term, are subjected to some revisionist history once the story plays out and people go back and rate them. For example, GoT8, ep. 2 had an initial rating of 8.9 and has since lost an entire point down to 7.9 where it sits today once people went back with the full scope. If you make a similar adjustment to ST5, it’s going to be right on par with GoT8 with the one outlying over performed being ep. 4 of ST5.

Again, I hope I’m wrong. You may ultimately be right if they tie this thing up in a satisfying way. Seems like a tall ask to me at this point but who knows. If the final episode is a dud, you’re likely going to see the ratings settle in similarly to GoT8.

Final thought, your post is an oxymoron of itself. You start by saying “no one is saying this” and end with “yall are just repeating things you see on social media at this point.” If no one is saying this season has been weak, then who are we supposedly getting our talking points on social media from? Might wanna check your math. My anecdotal with friends is similar feelings to mine fwiw.
