Thanks!

Thanks for the iOS link.

Parrot, probably the African Grey. Because you can talk. Being a talking bird with a heck of a vocabulary asking to get a message to the president is probably going to get the White House social media office’s attention, and maybe then the president.

Kinda cheating, but that would probably work.

I mean, nobody’s making you behave like a rich person. Grab a modest house in suburbia, send your kids to public school, and maybe take a few extra vacations a year to nice places but don’t talk about it. Guess what? Now you fit in with the rest of us.

But that’s not what this is about, and they certainly have the option to not be perceived as rich. The rich want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to have all the wealth yet be treated like normal people when it suits them while also being treated like they’re rich the rest of the time.

Why the F does this man deserve any more airtime than he already gets? It’s too much already.

But one insider says audiences may find “The Apprentice” to be an oddly humanizing portrait of a man vilified by half of the country.

While the same man seeks to dehumanize a big chunk of the country.

Yeah, not sure this guy deserves a movie, even one that doesn’t try to polish a turd very much.

Biden: what would Trump have done if the Capitol riots had been led by Black Americans? (www.theguardian.com)

Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people....

Shot a bunch of people, to start. Probably after getting some sort of military in. Who knows, after that. Martial law? Dictator for life?

You’re not wrong. I never understand the stupidity of escalating a confrontation when a perfectly valid method of avoiding it like walking or driving away exists. Someone calls you a bad name over and over so you have the choice of a) getting out of your vehicle and opening up all kinds of possibilities for shit to go wrong, or b) leave, and nothing else happens.

So this place is turning out to be just as bloodthirsty as Reddit, looking for fights instead of walking away and then saying FAFO as justification when someone dies. Life is so cheap for some.

Restaurants are getting really expensive. Even “budget” fast food like McD’s has skyrocketed. If we go out to eat I have to cringe at the bill (and the ridiculous tip that we still can’t get rid of despite rising costs) at the end of the meal.

RememberTheApollo_,

How much are government subsides affecting that pricing? Or lack of tax?

RememberTheApollo_,

There were never any raises. This is just guilt-tripping bullshit.

In case anyone was wondering:

We’ll just use it to make warp drive missiles and torpedos to kill each other quicker with.

Libertarians are people who imagine living in their idea of personal, fictional, utopia. Their utopia is one where they pay for only what they want, nobody else gets any of their money, corporations will do no harm, and somehow, magically, they have all the conveniences of modern life.

They just completely ignore that their miserly financial outlook undoes centuries of understanding that an educated society reduces poverty, crime, and unrest, hence the need for public education. Corporations still cause environmental ruin and poison the land, sea, and air…as if giving them minimal or free rein would improve that. Usually their solution to anyone intruding on their ideal world is to shoot them, no need to pay for cops.

In other words, they’re all about their Liberty to do what ever they want. Their version of liberty for you is “You’re free to sink, swim, or die on your own.” They just assume they’ll always be fine or have enough money to do whatever they need. No need to chip in for anyone els’s health care if a) they can’t pay for their own or b) they have their money to pay for theirs, and you’re not getting any of it.

And he gets to pick which data supports his desired outcome.

Could bird flu in cows lead to a human outbreak? Slow response worries scientists (www.nature.com)

Researchers also say more sampling is needed. Almost 50 herds of dairy cattle across 9 US states have had confirmed cases of H5N1, and one infected person has been linked to the outbreak. But the actual numbers are probably much higher, scientists say. “There’s almost certainly been a lot more human cases than just the...

I had the “swine flu” too. I’ve had covid twice, and on the surface* I’d rather have covid any day vs that flu again. 4-5 of serious body and joint pains, many days of fever, severe fatigue, headache, cough…and then it hits your lungs. It took months for my lungs to recover and the cought to finally go away. I can’t remember the last time I felt so bad for so long. And yeah, I did get the flu shot, unfortunately that year they didn’t get the H1N1 in the shot by the time it was released.

*yeah, covid has the potential for far worse problems, and no, I wouldn’t really rather risk that than the H1N1, just that my personal covid symptoms were nothing compared to the flu.

Christ, this man is an imbecile.

Unless it’s life threatening, we all wait in line at the ER. It takes me 4 months to get an appointment with my PCP, and any specialists tests take weeks to get (again, unless it’s a need-it-right-now thing like a chest X-ray for pneumonia). You wait your turn at any walk-in clinic.

Dunno why anyone thinks we have it special in the US.

Oh, wait…if you’re wealthy you can get seen immediately. Guess everyone’s wealthy in the US.

So angry about something that nobody is making him have any interaction with.

I hope you Kodak yourself.

RememberTheApollo_,

Best acting I’ve seen him do.

As an American, please vote. Our country is owned by the corporations, at least yours can bring them to heel sometimes.

RememberTheApollo_,

They read the parts they want. They hear what they’re told to believe by their preachers. In the end it doesn’t matter, they just interpret it how they want and disregard the rest.

PiHole with a VPN on the phone that connects to the LAN with the pihole, so far fewer ads.

No negative affects. It operates like any cellular/wifi connection.

Oh, more stuff is going to cost more. Yay.
