A little late to this thread but wanted to share.

Last year the city put in a new speed bump on the road in front of our place. Pretty big bump too.

They also didn't mark it at all with warnings or road paint etc.

For 2 months after installations I would hear cars all day and night taking the speed bump way too fast, getting air, and landing hard and scratching or outright breaking off pieces of their car.

At night, the speed bump was basically invisible.

Really insane that they installed a speed bump then didn't put markings until months afterward.

4D Chess.

Tell everyone it was a prank, meanwhile keep leaving the truck there.

People get complacent, or perhaps even gather more to "confront" the prankster.

Then bam, 100 agents pop out of nowhere and scoop them all up.

My comment wasn't to judge on how well or badly the crime reduction is going tied to Trump being in office, only that NYC is being quick to take a victory lap when things are still quite terrible.

I use the mass transit the minimal amount needed and basically only to commute to work. And yet I still encounter plenty of violence that largely goes unreported in the news.

Both stabbings I witnessed I never saw anything about it ever hit the evening news, even when 1 had NYPD respond to the scene rather quickly.

They really need to bring the hammer down hard on the criminals here, no mercy.

I'm disappointed it won't follow the original story but if I forget it's called "Until Dawn", the trailer looked interesting.

I think the movie has several problems.

I'm not as familiar with the comic version as I was a pretty casual comic fan.

But as far as the MCU has set up, while also being an avenger, Captain America's either officially or unofficially a member of the U.S. armed forces.

You're telling me the U.S. government is going to have a guy with no super serum be Capt. America when you have 2 other choices that do have a form of the serum?

And if you insist on Falcon being Capt. America, then I feel like the first thing the U.S. Gov. would do is hit him up with the serum.

No serum Falcon VS Hulk is not compelling at all. I would highly expect that he gets the serum in this movie, but if he doesn't then he must pull a win out of his arse with some non-sensical B.S..

I also thought it looked photo shopped at first glance lol.

From the subject line I thought Zelensky was going to be in a suite or something. I guess business casual is still a big step up for him though.

Lol what is this Highlander? Church sacred ground and no fighting?

My local Wallgreens was a tinier "pharmacy only" type, no groceries.

Always took extra time to fill prescriptions, arguments about if our insurance covered something or not.

Never saw any theft issues. Never "packed" but usually not empty either so they should have been doing fine.

All of a sudden they closed shop last year. Supposed reason was "slow business".

Next nearest pharmacy is like 30 mins away from our neighborhood.

6 months later 2 different Pharmacies open up, 1 of them in the exact same spot as Wallgreens. Both doing just fine it seems so not sure what Wallgreen's strategy is.

I don't go to any of those though, I found a family owned one that is much better. Has what I need already in stock, and fills prescriptions way faster.

I can leave my kid's Dr. and walk across the street and they already have it filled and ready to pick up.

Never realized how much difference there could be in service, just assumed they all made you wait.

Because of Hollywood movies, I honestly thought the secret service details would be bigger.

They're saying the "bigger" detail for Jill Biden was 12.

I feel like 12 would still not be enough for a former President and presumptive current nominee at a big public speaking engagement.

I understand that they may supplement numbers with local law enforcement but would still think at least 20+ of actual SS agents.

This show is only 8 episodes of 30 mins.

As far as history of TV seasons go, it's on the shorter end.

And yet they keep having these scenes that drag things out that seem to be just for padding the run time.

If you didn't have an interesting story to tell then just don't tell it to begin with.

There's only 2 episodes to go and I feel like barely any story has been told so far.

They wont learn until things like this keep happening.

Just because you think the world is Kumbaya, doesn't change the fact that there are people out there who are evil and won't change their stripes just because you "gave them the chance they needed".

But it still makes me sad as well as pissed off to see these headlines.
