Feels just as good as any of the pd centers imo. Feels just like his diamond last year that was also a beast. Huge frame, can shoot, and they always make him super athletic

Not a fan of smash burgers at all, give me your recs for best thick burger.

Some places I’ve tried:

Monks(def one of the best)
The Dandelion
Lloyd
Memphis taproom(RIP)
South Philly Taproom
The Pope
Sketch
North third

And I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of other places

Edit: Marathons burger is underrated

I know probably no one will agree with me on this. It’s my favorite Star Wars film. Partially for nostalgia as this was my first Star Wars theater experience. But also grew to be my favorite in the franchise over time.

What really made it hit home for me was the Plagueis novel by James Lucero. It provides a lot of context for the events leading up to and behind the scenes during when episode 1 was occurring. It explains how Anakin is actually created(canon literally never explains). There were also several other related novels form that era that both support and are enhanced by the film symbiotically.

It has everything I would want from a SW movie, contains more lore than any other Star Wars film, finally get to see the inner workings of the sith, a great space battle, and even better lightsaber duel(best in the franchise imo), and Pod Racing!(last one was sarcasm 😬). The double edged lightsaber was life changing. The Star fighters were insane designs(especially the Royal Naboo cruiser). And seeing Courescant for the first time was AMAZING. Theed looked spectacular as well.

The cast is absolutely stacked; Ewan, Natalie, Liam, Sam Jackson, keira nightly, all crushed it. Visually the film is absolutely stunning. Earlier cgi that Looks better than a lot of stuff today. One of the most colorful films I’ve ever watched when most of the old ones were pretty bland color wise.

Yes there are plenty of detractors like the jar jar stuff but still far less than any of the sequel films in my opinion(I personally think all three of them are absolute garbage and not canon to me).

All in all episode 1 is the most fun sw film, has a complete story arc, and sidious and maul are incredibly interesting villains.

Hate on this film all you want but to me it’s a masterpiece 🤷🏻‍♂️

Edit: I don’t expect anyone to agree with me. Keep in mind this is an unpopular opinion sub before acting like I’m stating this as fact. It just makes you sound like you don’t know how to read

And yes I know I’m insane

Editedit: forgot to mention how the politics of this film are probably my favorite part. Lucas literally predicted the future as current events correlate pretty directly.

This was pretty fun to do during Covid. We could put a theme on it like jdm only or something.

About to payoff my 2020 Jetta sel and want to upgrade to something bit more performance worthy. I’m not too worried about speed(as both obviously are a large setup for me) but more so just want a better looking and sounding car.

I’m likely going to buy used, trying to spend around 25k and seeing decent candidates for both cars in my price range. I’m leaning toward the GLI given it has more standard features(I really like the ventilated seats) but the GTI sound like it might be more fun to drive. If I went gli I would want a 2025 or newer just cause I like the front grill a lot more on the new one. Would go back as far as 23 on the GTI though.

I’ve owned two jettas so I like the feel and height, but I know the GTI sits a bit lower which may not be as great for my back? I know the gli takes regular gas and gets better mpg so gli feels like the more practical car. That said I don’t have kids or anything that would limit me on practicality though. And I’m probably doing to get automatic/dsg(I know I may get roasted for this one 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Does the exhaust sound that much better in the GTI vs the gli? Really looking for a satisfying sounding engine

Hoping to find something with less than 40k miles(which I see plenty of online), but just looking to see if there are any pros or cons I should know about when trying to weight my decision. Any input is helpful

TYIA

Edit: was considering a wrx also cause I’ve always wanted one and like awd but I just keep reading so many nightmare stories about them, they don’t sound reliable at all lol

Editedit: thank you for all the replies. It’s actually refreshing to post in a reddit thread where you get adult answers instead of internet trolls. This sub is awesome

Hint 1: Not a comedy

Hint 2: came out within the last 5 years

Hint 3:movie does not take place in modern day

I typically goto one game a year. I usually pick a less than desirable team they’re playing, one that has a player I really wanna see. This year I went to the e Sacramento game in January, the Denver game in February the year prior(wanted to see Westbrook before he hangs it up).

I usually try to find a budget seat downstairs and typically don’t have much trouble. Something within like 10-20 rows in the corner usually runs about $75-100.

Seeing how insane the prices are for the games they’ve released makes me think I won’t even be able to get tickets upstairs for the price I was paying before.

The LeBron effect is really gentrifying live games and basically cutting off all average Joe fans from actually being able to go to games.

Will these prices ever cool off or is it just gonna be how it is now? I know tix were always expensive when Lebron came to town in the past and no reason why that would be any different. But I’m feeling like I won’t be able to goto a sixers home or away game as long as LeBron is on the team.

SOLVED

Hint 1: said illegal act is not a severe crime but more so ethically wrong within the organization it relates to

Hint 2: film came out in the mid 90’s

Hint 3: there are multiple famous people in this film that aren’t typically actors. One plays himself, two others play made up characters
