I cut the cable TV cord in 1999. For whatever movies/TV we’ve wanted to watch, we’ve just gone to our public library to get DVDs and later on, streamed stuff.

uBO in all the browsers as well.

If you make a concerted effort, you can de-TV the household and it takes little time to find ways pick up on watching the things you like - w/o commercial interruption… I could not imagine watching an evening of broadcast TV.

Given that the average show is now 40 minutes long - thats an hour of commercials between the 3 primetime hours of 8 and 11 pm.

I’m not going to waste an hour every night looking at things I do not want or need in my life.

Fuck that shit.

No, they won’t. You’ll only get a new car if the vehicle is new (within 5 years and under a certain mileage) and still being paid off, because then the financier/lender is still in the mix. Lenders can and will aim their own lawyers at the insurers.

This is the way.

It’s hard though, to just get liabilty on a car if you’re still making payments on it.

It’s gotta be 100% yours with no payments or liens on it.

Then you can go for a nice high liability policy. I’ve always bought older used and just gotten policies to cover OTHER people I may accidentally hit. No collision - If i’m not paying attention and slide off the road into a rock… that’s on me.

I also would add glass and theft to that liability policy. The glass coverage saved my ass a few years ago when I caught a rock behind (what else?) a dump truck.

Oh fuck yeah. Am going to share this article… We’ve got ICE scurrying around the area here where I live and when they sweep someone up and disapear them w/o letting friends and/or family know… Yeah. Time to make a stink. I hope this keeps going and spreads across the country.

Sweet Mother of Pearl!

Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn.

She’s beautiful… and mean with a Banuk Powershot or Gravesinger’s Lament bow.

We’ve got to make certain that Mr. Trump hears, reads and sees a LOT about President Stephen Miller on the internet.

The comeuppance for all of this after the mid-terms is going to be frightening to ICE…

If (and this is a big IF) the mid-terms happen, vote.

Burning a flag is a jailable offense now? Really?

Oh dear… - is the Departmet of War now telling Americans to break the law?

As I almost got banned on Reddit for pointing out, Kirk stated he was willing to accept firearm deaths to protect the 2nd Amendment, he also said that executions should be live streamed and thirdly, that children should be allowed to watch them.

Dude hit the trifecta.

Win, place and show.

Now waitaminit!

I like mothssesses.

Best favorite animal!

Saw this one rolling out in slow-motion some 20 years ago when HCA bought out Columbia Hospital systems.

F’kin awful. We so need a single payer to leverage equity out of the picture. (actually private equity needs to die because the billionaires are taxed again, like they used to be in the 1950’s - when America was (for some things) great.

Why would a vegan want to eat anything called a “burger”?

All of the vegans I’ve known and worked with, consider the idea of a burger gross to begin with, so they opt to call their versions of burgers “patties”.

Okara patties are hella tasty.

Bwahahahah!

Wait until it dies and earns it’s “angle” wings!

(…am gonna let myself out now… )

Ain’t that the truth.

If you pull up the ewg.org working map of the perflouro- contaminated sites in the country, it’s horrifying.

Thing is, if the Pro Publica article is correct, these chemicals are afflicting male reproductive viability at the EXACT same time the Trump Administration’s cabinet is filed with natalist-leaning advisors… and they just don’t see it as going into part of why men are fathering fewer children.

They lay the blame on feminism and the birth control pills.

Thing is, globaly, male fertility has been falling for decades. Wanna bet part of it is tied to chemical exposure?

But… we won’t go there…

I found one of these my junior year in high school. It was on the rear door of the gym, and it was a cold morning so I carefully picked it up and it was vibrating as I brought it inside to ask my science teacher what it was.

I kept it inside until just before first class started and took it outside and set it on the far corner of the small greenhouse that the 4H students had for their agriculture class.

Beautiful animals…

You look at a bug like that, and then at the feet and how… or what the thing is walking on that it would selectively adapt for the insect equivalent of clown shoes.

Yikes! Y’all gotta eat better if your poop scrapes are cementing themselves to the bowl…

Damn!

Look at the demographic of any “left” and you generally find kids that don’t understand how societal power works.

Taking a few classes on sociology and reading Marx is fine and all that, but they need to understand the framework of conformist, consumerist America and leverage that… and as it’s anathema to what Marx says… they’ll forever be smacking their heads against the walls.

Then they grow up and become Wall Street brokers.

Sause: Am 60, and have seen this same shit happening over and over - for decades.

Yeah… when he stopped abruptly… As stated in the article… “deer in the headlights…”

Indeed.
