Shows and movies should not be subscription

In addition to the other complaint about internet services, which I agree with. This also makes little sense. Cable was essentially a subscription service to media. Media should not be locked to a service, it should be freely available to buy yourself or stream providers to license for their services and compete for price. There shouldn't be media silos where content producers also act as sole distributors.

She's not even abnormally good, she is good, but not impossibly dominant like some like Phelps.

Yeah I've unsubscribed, his beef with Billy Mitchel and shift to a more cheater focus has just become too repetitive. I liked his enthusiasm for describing people achieve records, but I don't really care to deep dive cheaters really. They suck and the sooner we scratch them from the record and move on the better. They don't deserve attention.

Cute video, but I've got bad news about the quality of that chair...

Mine lasted less than a year. One of those one piece arm rest\supports got a crack and that ruined the stability.

Unless the democrats have an actual plan, they can actually get through congress, to unwind the legal framework for fascism that the republicans have built it won't matter in the long run anyway...

Like seriously we're in the end game now, without an actual plan to stop it the next republican president will be our last.

...how fuck did you get "voting bad actually" from that comment?

Not all nonvoters who did vote would vote for Biden, that's a simple statement of fact. The meme assumes they all would.

IDK their religion allows straight up substitution magic, they turn wine and crackers into pieces of their dead god. Why can't thorns and pieces of wood turn into the implements that killed him?

Carpal tunnel is still a thing, my old manager had to get surgery on both wrists.

Yes they're used, but they're not THE ONLY method of control as it was in this disaster of a sub.

It is a clear signal, it says very clearly and in no uncertain terms they don't want to talk to you.

Your need for "closure" or whatever doesn't matter.

If you think that trump is capable of that then you admit the American system is so flawed that a diaper wearing dementia ridden criminal is all it will take to bring it down. That Pax Americana is on the death bed and electing Biden is just kicking the can down the road.

Without the looming existential threat of the climate apocalypse and the inevitability of children born today fighting in the water wars, Biden might be fine, but we need action now and anything else isn't just lesser of two evils, it's complete failure in our lifetimes...

”Both options are cliffs!”

But they are though.

The cliff drivers aren't getting off the bus, even if we vote them down this time, if we don't change the system that allows them equal opportunity to drive us off a cliff they will eventually force it off the cliff.

Biden has long supported the system that allows it, prides himself on being able to find a middle ground with them, and though he talks about not going over the cliff has no long term plan for dealing with those that do, because again he believes in the system that allows them to want to drive off the cliff.

I believe I've stretched this metaphor about as far as it will go, but I'm going to try stretching it further.

There are actually two cliffs, fascism and climate change, even if we pull the bus away from one cliff we've still got the other in front of us and basically no one is even pretending to deal with that.

And to leave the broken bus scenario, I'm just going to say if you believe that a trump win will destroy American democracy, that we can't defeat his corrupt, senile version of fascism then the next republican demagogue will have no problems.
