I doubt that they’ll run nothing, probably just syndicated reruns instead of original content.

At least Volkswagens were decent cars

The reason I don’t talk to my parents is because I don’t wanna hear this shit. They are lying liars who lie. The intricacies of how they’re lying and specifically about what aren’t really very important. Everything they say is a lie, and we are far past using dialectal techniques and logic to argue Trump followers out of the cult.

This is far past a war that will be “won with words“.

One need only look back through history at the rise of other fascist states to see a familiar playbook.

Sadly, would eventually come to war. But this time, the United States would be on the wrong side.

the show is… different than the film. and much better. (Edit: I still love the film, but the show is sooooo much better, and it’s completely unconnected.

I only discovered about a week ago, hence the binge. it’s amazing. it was described to me as “the best time travel show ever” and “one of the best shows ever”. That was not an undersell— the show is amazing!

the show was written/produced by Terry Metals, known for saving the 3rd season of Star Trek: Picard, and the show has a lot of actors who later turn up in that show.

I wonder whether adding additional trackers only increases the speed in which peers are found or whether it also substantially increases the likelihood of finding peers.

One begets the other, although your mileage may vary

I don’t know. I’ve been applying for jobs for seven years online, and I haven’t gotten a fucking thing.

I have 30, 20, 15, and 10 years of experience in the four major career fields I pursue, and I can never, not once not ever, get even a reply back, let alone an explanation as to why I wouldn’t fit the role.

Corporate greed. That’s the reason. Has this been some great mystery for the last three or four decades? Because that’s always been the answer.

Line must always go up

Child mortality was only so high because child labor was in widespread use around the time that Social Security was first implemented.

Yet, Social Security was established around the same time as the end of child labor in this country. It took a few decades to correct (then, lengthened further with the advancements in medical technology), but the laws never kept up.

And all enacted by our first Democratic socialist president who was so popular, he helped pass the constitutional amendment to limit presidential terms so that he didn’t have to serve a fourth time…

… polio is a real motherfucker. Thankfully, he was one of the last generation to ever suffer from it in their developed world.
