When I was in the 8th grade I tried asking what the difference was. A friend of mine at the time, who was kinda smart albeit the son of a rich dentist, summed it up by saying "Democrats want to give money to the homeless while republicans want to create jobs for the homeless". It made sense at the time and held some truth for a decade or 2.

Whereas now it's "democrats try to get homeless people back on their feet, republicans make being homeless illegal"

pretty ugly when you don’t bury it beneath talking points, or obscure it with incoherent rants

Or outright blatant, easily proven lies.

I bought my dad's 2014 MKZ off him 4 years ago. They stopped producing GPS updates several years before I bought it off him. According to the device, there are times it thinks I'm driving through farmland when I'm at a Target parking lot.

“Are you taking the piss, Karen?,” a popular British term meaning making fun of someone, after she claimed she was doing “all the hard work.”

In my experience, the people who complain about being the only ones doing all the hard work are the ones doing more complaining than actual working.

  • One would spend several hours almost daily chitchatting at other people's desks about how they are the hardest worker and things can only get done if they do it, they're the first in, last out, etc. But spends half their day complaining instead of working.

  • Another is a serial whiner who says no one else ever does anything, they have to do it all in order to get it done, yet they always have some excuse why they don't have to come in that day, or have to leave early, take a longer lunch, and spends a good chunk of their day gossiping.

How about making them such a high percentage that it would genuinely impact their bottom line and not a measly amount calculated as "cost of doing business"

We can also thank Tim Berners-Lee for giving us the WWW

I ended up buying a couple testers from Walmart for like $5 and they've been super useful! Definitely worth having in every household

And that's the same person who makes wild absurd claims but well just go off the rails and tell you to do your own research

I've been using librewolf for a several months. Be careful because streaming doesn't always work on it due to DRM features, and YouTube has been spotty AF. With YouTube it might start the video a couple seconds into it, buffer for no discernable reason, or just skip a few random seconds.

I got one a couple years ago that included an old password I had used to use. It was sent to my work email but because it had that info in it I did legit get scared...until it said it recorded me jerking it over my webcam. I don't have a webcam.

I found out at least 2 other coworkers got similar emails so me thinks a shitty work vendor got hacked

You should look into PiHole, if you're half-savvy with computers. They should be able to block all the destinations smart TVs are trying to connect to

The same people who said sleepy Joe is too senile and incompetent to be president yet also masterminded both Covid-19 and committed the biggest election fraud in the history of this nation...
