Libraries are usually free.

You…need to stop making me feel old.

Who’s shade?

Depends which angle the sun hits it at.

I’m 42. It’s taken to right now in this very moment to realize that I guess technically pills are eaten.

I never thought about that before.

The question always struck me as dumb. Because it doesn’t make any attempt to clarify what geographic region this question takes place.

I don’t care what you’re afraid of a man doing, a polar bear is ALWAYS the worse choice.

But not all bears are as aggressive as polar bears. Some bears will run away from you if you chase them. Some bears will end you if you chase them.

Of coarse you can’t determine how dangerous a man is based on region. But you can likely determine which regions have dangerous bears.

Thats how flat earth theory started. People in the 1600s never believed earth is flat. People started “believing” it as a joke.

Except then other people started following the herd.

No no. Not mistakes. I’ve worked jobs where the boss wanted 16 hours a day.

I’d just not give a shit about quality. I worked at a hotel. Plenty of people got free rooms when I worked there. But I also made sure the important things got done.

But were those free rooms a mistake? No. Far from it. They were an intentional middle finger to the millionaire owner who looked down at everyone else.

Then he tried screwing me out of hours I worked. This after working there for 6 years. So I when I asked about it, he was adament that he wasn’t going to pay that money.

So I opened a voice recorder on my phone, and had that same exact conversation again.

I made sure to mention that I already worked those hours, but hadn’t been paid. To which he said he would never pay for those hours.

That’s when I walked to my locker, cleared it out, and left. Then I called the IRS and sent them the file.

Within 2 years the city took his land, demolished his hotel, and now it’s an empty field.

What’s even worse for him is that this happened in 2018. Right now, the Cleveland Browns are in the process of buying land to build a new stadium in Brookpark (suburb of Cleveland). If he had still owned the land, the Browns would have had to make him an offer he couldn’t refuse. He could have sold EASILY for 20 million. He only bought the hotel for 1 million (which is pennies on the dollar for what hotels are worth).

He bought it for around 1 million, and in the 3 years he owned it, only made about 600k on the property.

Which means instead of selling in 2025 for 20 million minimum, plus the business of the hotel from 2018-2025 he would have had by still running the hotel, he instead LOST 400k iN 2018 by having the government forcibly take his land.

All in all, I figure I cost him 20-25 million dollars because he refused to pay something rediculously low like $600. All because I was tired, pissed off, and done with his penny pinching to make me work everyday doubles. That way he wouldn’t need to hire more people.

Trump should just shut up.

Doesn’t even matter the context, or story. This is ALWAYS true.

Can confirm.

The Hanson song? What context am I missing here?

Ooooooooh, you guys are making references to his songs.

I only know him as the guy who sang Bawadababadangdangdiggyupsupschwibiggity.

I was surprised recently to learn he not only has OTHER songs, but also knows what real words are! Which only begs the question…what the hell was that first song all about anyways?

I thought the vaccines had 5G chips in them, and turned our brains to mush!

…god we live in the dumbest timeline.

Yep! I got a nice one. It’s 10+ years old now, but I got a new bulb in the box, waiting for my current bulb (which IS dying) to finally go.

Love it. It even does 3D and came with 2 pairs of glasses.

I bought lifetime subscription 10+ years ago. It still updates the guide, but they stopped selling hardware.

Which is a shame. I like Tivo.

They don’t control my tivo recordings.

Which is why everyone should oppose ATSC 3.0.

With ATSC 3.0, TV stations can literally insert ads overlayed on screen at any point.

They can use your tv’s smart functions to literally track your behavior.

They can refuse to allow you to record tv stations entirely, or just kndividual shows.

They can delete shows without your consent. They can block you from watching shows. They can make OTA tv programing pay per view.

I’m not saying they ARE doing this, or are planning it, but they CAN. And if capitalism has taught me anything it’s “fuck you, pay us, and then pay us again, and fuck you again”.

See…humans are stupid. We could all be living in lush rich forests, having sex in bright sunny fields, with no cares in the world.

Instead, we all have jobs, and make ourselves slaves to them. We hand over control of all aspects of our lives to corporations.

Instead of utopia, we live in a parking lot jungle. Where the profits for paid parking are more important than affordable housing, and rent control.

And it all rolls downhill. Even television is trying its hand at enshitification. Don’t buy a smart tv. Don’t buy ATSC 3.0 anything. Tell these fuckers to fuck off!

Can confirm.

He might even get a finger wagged at him!

This explains so much! So THAT’S why I masturbate! I was addicted as a teenager, and I guess I’m going to be addicted for life.

I mean…it worked in WWII.

See, there was this guy named Hitler, who wanted to take over the world, and kill the Jews.

Then two jewish teens from Cleveland created Superman.

So Superman goes off, fights the nazis, and was on his way to Hitler’s house, to give him a lecture about why killing is bad, but Hitler heard Superman was coming. So he killed himself before Superman got there.

True story.
