| Topic | 2 Indiana girls were murdered on this day 4 years ago |
| The Top Crusader 02/19/21 6:38:30 AM #14 | Yeah it was close-ish to where my wife grew up. I remember them finding the one dude with a terrible rap sheet and looked like the guy in the picture but it was apparently proven not to be him. --- |
| Topic | Joe Biden REJECTS cancelling $50k of student debt per person |
| The Top Crusader 02/17/21 2:32:46 PM #26 | How about just give everyone 10k, people can pay off student loans if they want. >_> --- |
| Topic | Best "Big" pizza chain? |
| The Top Crusader 02/12/21 12:09:31 PM #10 | Obligatory "I like my local mom and pop pizza places better!" But they do tend to cost more in most cases so I usually alternate. Papa John's miiiight be my favorite, but honestly I've had more good than bad experiences with most of those places (Pizza Hut has been better lately actually, but they were lousy for quite a while, at least locally here), I like them all and kind of rotate through them. May get Dominos the most often because there is one two blocks away and they are probably second cheapest to LC. --- |

| Topic | Super Mario 3DW + Bowser's Fury topic |
| The Top Crusader 02/12/21 8:44:51 AM #22 | Mine is still set to be delivered today, pretty excited. I mean, yeah, I could just hook up the Wii U again and play it, but, uh... the new stuff looks cool, too. I'm probably just going to start replaying the main game first, though. --- |
| Topic | Lincoln Project was huge scam, aware of founder's harassment for months |
| The Top Crusader 02/12/21 8:43:11 AM #15 | While they certainly didn't win the election for Biden single handedly or anything, they definitely gave the Never Trump republicans a place to feel like they weren't entirely crazy, and they may have very well helped tighten some close states. That work is done, they say they want to continue on but just saying "hey we got rid of Trump" and dissolving is probably the better option if its such a mess behind the scenes. They managed to hide most of the turmoil until after the election, that's all that really matters. --- |
| Topic | *job says entry level* |
| The Top Crusader 02/11/21 12:12:41 PM #21 | TheBlueMonk_ posted... "You need at least 5 years experience, sorry" I had an interview at a security company once and they wanted to hire me, but it was minimum wage so I turned them down. >_> Although to be fair most security just involves watching monitors and walking around once in a while. Depends on the location I guess. --- |
| Topic | LMFAO has anyone seen TLC's show "1000-Lb Sisters"? |
| The Top Crusader 02/08/21 8:26:47 AM #41 | clyde_frog posted... Once you hit like 250 pounds, how do you not stop yourself and be like Aight Ima go to the gym tomorrow and get on a strict diet? I haven't watched this show so don't know their story... but I'd guess in MOST cases, someone didn't put in 150 lbs in a year, they probably put in 10-20 a year over 15 years or something. So I can see how it can creep up on a person... BUT yes that said eventually once you hit 250, 300, 400, 500 you'd think something is going to click, but apparently not. --- |
| Topic | At work, is it possible for them to monitor internet usage and sites visited? |
| The Top Crusader 02/07/21 12:48:50 AM #11 | Yes they definitely can, I was in IT for many years. But Id say 99% of the time no one will bother looking into it unless they suspect you of doing something terrible, or MAYBE just that youre wasting a lot of time. Not likely, though. --- |
| Topic | New ATH for Etherum. Over $1,500 now. |
| The Top Crusader 02/05/21 9:51:30 AM #90 | Veggeta X posted... I have like .32 of an ETH. Bought it years ago at 375 and now I have like 600 bucks. Yeah I have a tiny part from back when Bitcoin first had a big boost... I dunno, 4 or 5 years ago? I forget exactly what I had in what at the moment, but when I basically gave up on getting rich quick and just decided to leave what I had there, I had roughly $400 in various cryptos and now its like 1500-1600. Mostly due to ETH. --- |
| Topic | the marvel ultimate universe.... |
| The Top Crusader 02/03/21 8:31:54 AM #12 | I remember kind of digging Ultimates and Ultimate Spider-man in the earlier days. Like Ultimates was really good for a while but eventually they got a different artist and got less cool so I bounced. Ultimate Spidey I don't remember being amazing but it was solid, always felt they rushed to get to the "Ultimate" version of other characters too much. I was long gone before Miles showed up. --- |
| Topic | Racist incel Lars Sullivan released from WWE |
| The Top Crusader 02/03/21 8:29:18 AM #3 | I'm no fan, but he seems like he has a lot of mental problems, so while I'm glad I won't see him on TV I hope he gets help and doesn't do anything dumb. >_> --- |
| Topic | Do Americans really clap when their pizza gets delivered? |
| The Top Crusader 02/01/21 12:52:31 PM #3 | That's probably not super common, its usually moreso whooping and cheering loudly, fist pumping, etc --- |

| Topic | is pizza + TV a good 1st date idea? |
| The Top Crusader 02/01/21 12:23:56 PM #36 | That type of date fits my personality and thus the girls I dated so that was pretty common date scenario for me back when I was allowed to date. --- |
| Topic | Just got into a major accident. |
| The Top Crusader 02/01/21 9:31:07 AM #15 | Glad you are more or less okay. I've only been in one somewhat major accident, fortunately no one was hurt, but I'm usually a good driver but made a weird misjudgement and it was my fault. So once I knew everyone was okay I just felt really bad about that for a while because it was pretty expensive and I almost totalled my wife's car. --- |
| Topic | Why hasn't Square put Final Fantasy 1-6 on the PSN by now? |
| The Top Crusader 02/01/21 9:27:20 AM #4 | I would rather have other versions but it really is weird they haven't at least dropped the mobile ports on there. I'm sure it'd be easy money, and I'd kinda like to play some of the older ones again other than on my phone. --- |
| Topic | Dumped $100 + my Dogecoin winnings into SIVR. |
| The Top Crusader 02/01/21 9:26:01 AM #15 | Doe posted... Went from $21 to $48 in Dogecoin and I'm putting it all into silver ETF. There's a ton of articles telling boomers to buy silver as the next 'reddit army rush' or whatever. A lot of people here bought Dogecoin at .002 when I made a thread about it maybe now you'll follow me to SIVR..... Do you think it's too late to get into doge? I've been trying the last few days but I had to sign up on a different crypto app since it isn't on Coinbase and they are taking forever to get me verified, etc. --- |
| Topic | Do you like GameStop? |
| The Top Crusader 01/29/21 11:51:07 AM #29 | I like them overall. Sure, they have some pretty dumb practices like gutting a new game case and trying to sell it as new if its the last one, and they are crap to their employees about quotas etc (thats why I had a very short run there 15ish years ago, wasn't going to overly hassle customers). But they'd have some good sales on new stuff and lots of B2G1 type sales on used stuff pretty frequently. A lot of the non-game stuff a lot of people complained about, but I've picked up some neat shirts and weird trinkets over the years. The hundreds of times I've been there I think I had an overly pushy sales rep ONCE. Maybe I'm lucky but I didn't get the constantly bad experiences most people talk about. Lots of trade-in specials, too. As long as you weren't trading in an 8 year old Madden game it was usually half decent (especially when they'd run bonus credit which they did often). And far as I know, no one was FORCED to trade in games there. If you don't like what they offer you can try to offload it somewhere else. --- |
| Topic | RIP Cloris Leachman |
| The Top Crusader 01/27/21 7:26:26 PM #28 | iPhone_7 posted... Huh, I thought she had already been dead for like 5 years at least. Yeah I just kind of assumed. But hey that is a good long life, RIP. --- |
| Topic | Discovery Plus is just taking existing shows and making you pay |
| The Top Crusader 01/27/21 7:25:19 PM #25 | I dunno if I'd ever pay for Discovery+... there are some okay things on there that if on cable I'd maybe have on as background noise, but nothing I really want to watch enough to pay for. But my cell carrier is giving me 6 months for free, so hopefully I don't forget to cancel when the 6 months is up. >_> --- |
| Topic | Hillary Clinton & Mitt Romney vs. Donald Trump & Josh Hawley 2024 |
| The Top Crusader 01/27/21 12:30:58 PM #10 | I like Mittens. I don't really like Hillary, but given those choices, I go with that. --- |
| Topic | The Democrats have just put forth a bill raising the minimum wage to $15! |
| The Top Crusader 01/26/21 1:57:25 PM #64 | My political views are all over the place, but this never seemed like it would work well to me. Like, okay, Walmart and McDonald's probably CAN afford to pay more without significantly raising their cost of goods (although no reason to think they will want less profits, so they very well will increase prices), but the rando local restaurant or shop is probably barely getting by as it is (even pre-COVID) on razor thin profit margins. You know, those weird ice cream shacks that are only open in the warm months and employ 90% high school kids. I don't see how they can manage with massively raising prices and thus probably losing business. Plus if the prices go up, okay, the guy who was making $9 an hour is now making $15 so he can feel okay about it, but the guy that's been making $15.50 the whole time and doesn't get any raise is going to get hit really hard. I really do want people to make more money and be able to live with all their needs and some of their wants but I don't know, doesn't seem feasible to have a massive boost like that in four years without major repercussions. --- |
| Topic | So Kong has intelligence while Godzilla has the Radio Active breath weapon? |
| The Top Crusader 01/26/21 9:08:26 AM #26 | I mean it could be a misdirect, or just something else they wanted to make to sell more stuff, but I'd say its likely for the movie. --- |
| Topic | Going to rewatch all the Godzilla films. |
| The Top Crusader 01/26/21 9:06:01 AM #6 | No problem, I love this silly stuff. >_> If you really want to go chronological there is nothing wrong with that, but I found when I started out doing that, it got boring quick, so I started jumping around between the different timelines, etc. So I... kind of watched them in order, but split in 5 different catagories (I split Showa in two since the later ones have a much different feel and gave non-Godzilla it's own catagory), so I'd do one from each and rotate around, kept it feeling more fresh. But that's just me. --- |

| Topic | Going to rewatch all the Godzilla films. |
| The Top Crusader 01/26/21 8:55:18 AM #3 | I would try to *at least* get the other Toho films that featured monsters that ended up with Godzilla, like the original Mothra and Rodan, and I suppose the 3 Mothra movies from the 90's. Would be fun to also throw in Varan, Frankenstein Conquers the World, War of the Gargantuas, and if you want to go really deep throw in Gorath, Matango, the Mysterians, Dogora, Yog (although I think thats always called "Space Ameoba these days) etc Obviously you only have so much time before the new film and there plenty of Godzilla films alone, but I suppose if you have infinite time you could throw in all the Gameras for good measure. --- |
| Topic | Do you like Arby's? |
| The Top Crusader 01/26/21 8:52:10 AM #19 | I've always liked it quite a bit and don't know anyone that actively dislikes it... always been confused by references on TV and memes and stuff about it being terrible. >_> --- |
| Topic | Wait, people unironically like Super Mario Bros. 2? |
| The Top Crusader 01/25/21 8:07:07 AM #40 | It was never my favorite, but I always liked it quite a bit. It was a pretty big deal when it was new. --- |

| Topic | Any parents here still play alot of video games / PC games? |
| The Top Crusader 01/22/21 12:04:16 PM #3 | I have a 3 year old who doesn't ever nap anymore. >_> Only time I get to play is after she goes to bed, if my wife is busy doing something else. I have to get up at 5:30am for work though so that time is pretty limited because I like sleep. --- |
| Topic | What does the Bible say about dinosaurs? |
| The Top Crusader 01/20/21 8:18:00 AM #35 | Solar_Crimson posted... It's either this, or the "gap theory", which posits that there was a previous Earth that was destroyed between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, where the dinosaurs lived. Those are definitely two theories, but the vast, vast majority of Christians I've discussed it with either believe young earth creationism and dinosaurs just had a short run and scientiests are bad at dating things, or they don't get 7 day creation literally and basically believe God caused the big bang but then things happened as your science text book says. --- |
| Topic | What does the Bible say about dinosaurs? |
| The Top Crusader 01/19/21 12:42:49 PM #11 | VipaGTS posted... Christians say God put fossils and bones on earth to test our faith. I've seen people say this on the internet but I grew up immersed in Christian culture and never heard anyone say that seriously. It was always more about "hey there is a random dinosaur footprint with a human print in it so YOUNG EARTH CREATIONISM IS PROVEN!" But yeah not a consensus but a lot of people would say that the behemoth mentioned in Job 40 and Leviathan in 41 and a few other places were references to dinosaurs. --- |
| Topic | This girl I know is a stay at home mom |
| The Top Crusader 01/19/21 12:40:49 PM #7 | ShotgunSilencer posted... I was a stay at home dad for a few years cuz my wife had the better job and it didn't make financial sense to put the kids into childcare. Yeah, I never did it fullblown but just with our work schedules, I work a typical M-F early morning thru afternoon, my wife works lots of evenings and weekends, so having all those evenings and weekends as the only parent in the home and trying to accomplish anything is no easy task. >_> --- |
| Topic | Holy crap at 1 x-large pizza being $40... |
| The Top Crusader 01/19/21 12:35:12 PM #35 | That's why I pretty rarely do delivery, but yeah usually just getting it delivered directly from the restaurant isn't going to cost *that* much, the are going overboard there. I use DoorDash for other things (like a sitdown restaurant that has free delivery, then I'm basically just tipping the driver instead of a waitress and the cost isn't crazy overboard), but Pizza is most often a bad deal. --- |
| Topic | Most brilliant Home Alone 2 edit idea has just been conceived involving MaCulkin |
| The Top Crusader 01/15/21 9:20:30 AM #8 | Trump is a poopy head to be sure, but I don't really like editing old movies like that. But if it must be done they should Special Edition it and put in Jabba the Hutt in his place. --- |

| The Top Crusader 01/14/21 12:27:57 PM #25 | I don't like to be flopping around, I guess I'd get used to it but kind of uncomfortable when I've tried. Plus like... I keep clean and shower and wipe, etc, but kinda seems gross to always have my naked butt in there, like somehow I'll get pink eye, I dunno. >_> --- |

| The Top Crusader 01/14/21 12:23:33 PM #6 | I'm okay with that assuming its done well. Really dug him as Cap. Wonder if they'd outright bring not elderly Cap to the current timeline or just make prequels or whatever. --- |
| Topic | Captain America |
| The Top Crusader 01/13/21 12:42:56 PM #2 | I could see him previously being a Republican (and I swear there was occasional mention of that in Marvel media back in the day, but I can't find it when I look for it, so, uh...), but yeah, no way he'd be on board with the current republican administration. --- |
| Topic | What is the most accurate bible I can find or read in english? ? |
| The Top Crusader 01/13/21 12:22:11 PM #11 | NASB and ESV tend to be considered the most accurate from what I've seen, and from what I've researched. I personally gravitated to the NASB first so have mostly stuck with that, but ESV comes up in these conversations for a reason. Either are good picks. --- |
| Topic | My grandad passed away |
| The Top Crusader 01/12/21 11:40:32 AM #62 | FarmDog posted... Sorry for your loss. My grandparents passed away last year and I visit the cemetery every weekend. Their house was sold recently and its really sad. Grew up in that house. It's so weird driving by my grandparents' old house, where I spent a lot of time, my mom and aunts and uncles grew up, holidays there, etc, and now just some random dude lives there, lol. Kinda wish someone in the family had bought it. Anyway, condolences, TC. 89 is a good run but it always sucks to lose a loved one. --- |

| The Top Crusader 01/12/21 11:36:19 AM #13 | specialkid8 posted... That would be a hard feat for actually organized people. A few thousand John Q Jackasses are not going to be able to pull it off. Especially since they're mostly keyboard warriors. It's a lot easier to post "rise up" on Twitter than to actually do it. True, but it would be easier to actually do it than post "rise up" on Parler right now. --- |

| The Top Crusader 01/11/21 12:39:39 PM #3 | Woah, first time they've mixed up game companies on one machine, isn't it? Konami and Data East IIRC. Yeah, I kinda swore these things off but might have to get that one. >_> X-men was obviously amazing. Cap and the Avengers isn't as good, but pretty solid in the arcade (home ports were bad). Never played Galactic Storm, doesn't look super great, but thats just kind of a bonus. --- |
| Topic | Should the Capitol Police have shot that woman? |
| The Top Crusader 01/07/21 11:24:30 AM #30 | Like... I don't really want anyone to be killed, but while I never gave it a lot of thought, I always sort of assumed that once you crossed a certain threshold in an important government building like that where all of congress and the senators are, that they would just gun down everyone. >_> --- |
