As my accountant once told me: if it floats, flies, or fucks, lease it.

Care to expound on this thought? I’d argue that not watching news hardly makes someone uninformed. For example, Sinclair communications owns something like 200 local tv stations in the US, and they all parrot the exact same right wing BS on the local market nightly news. Nexstar is another example - they write a BS diatribe and every news station they own repeats nonsense disguised as news.

I’d argue that being able to distinguish propaganda from “news” is an important part of critical thought, more important than being informed by local “news”.

I’m not speaking for them, but I’m thinking they meant that Hitler won the battle for power, but the Allies won the war. The book would look a lot different if Hitler won the war. In this context, “we” are the allies.

Will attempt to criminalize. Until a 1a challenge overturns it.

Libraries, interstate highways, fire departments, Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, are all things that are socialist programs here in the US, and they all work. Now, if they did higher education and healthcare, we might get somewhere.

Pasta salad and mayo just sounds wrong to me. I generally use a red wine vinaigrette, it holds up better at a barbecue.

If Russia gave Israel weapons, I’m sure Iran would absolutely love that. What do you think the blowback from that would be? Now China on the other hand.

I feel personally attacked by this comment.

Internet connected (smart) or non-internet connected (dumb). At least that’s what this phrase means with all other context.

When people refer to “smart” vs “dumb” cars, I don’t think they’re referring to the ECU. They’re referring to internet connected vs non-internet connected cars, in which internet connectivity is still a fairly recent development.

I daily drive a vehicle with a factory tape deck and CD changer, where all the electronics work flawlessly, from the sunroof to the back window rolling down. My wife wants me to ditch it, but they’re going to have to pry the keys out of my cold, dead hands.

They also have a reputation for not breaking.

I suppose if you go back to the ‘80s models or earlier this might be true. Otherwise, my first exhibit to the contrary would be plastic water pumps and plastic timing chain guides.

Clean water, air, and food. There’s plastic in everything. I don’t think any of us will ever get to experience any of this ever again.

I’ve actually been thinking about this. If the RNC ends up paying his legal bills, wouldn’t that qualify as income, that he has to pay taxes on?

Trump has been unable to get bond for $464 million judgment, his lawyers say

Now there’s a fucking surprise. What a fraud.

This is precisely what I came in here to say.

The party of “personal responsibility” doesn’t want people to be personally responsible for raising their children.

You’re not doing anything wrong, you’re doing it exactly right.

Pornhub pulls out of Texas

Bravo to 404media for the headline.

As someone else mentioned about VPNs, by the time all this nonsense is over with, California is going to look like they have 200 million people there, if you look at web traffic.

Yeah great, so I’d have another person around that I don’t really like.

Had to scroll down pretty far to find this. I don’t see any ads on my Apple devices, because it’s not their thing. And when people try and serve ads, I don’t see them anyways. Because I VPN through my home network with a dns blocker.

No, I don’t want to root my phone and load a new OS on it. And I certainly don’t want a phone with the Facebook app preinstalled. I feel like people having nightmares about VR ads are having a tough time.

With all that said, I wouldn’t pay close to $3500 for this thing.

I mean, do they think they’re the only ones that have guns, and know how to use them? They can have 40 guns each, but they still only have two hands.
