$23/year sounds worth it to get rid of ads in the house, but if you ever get pushed out of that plan, it’s not too hard to set up a pi hole on your network to block ads on your tv.
Personally I just screen mirror from my laptop with ad blocker if I want to show something on the tv, but my kids are young and I don’t let them pick what they watch at this point so it makes it easy.
I like the clothesline more because every seat has it in reach without standing up and you don't have to look around for it.
I didn’t know totems were a thing, it’s making more sense now.
Their rapid rise is a little sus, but I will say that Cameron Winter has the sauce and some real talent (and the rest of the band too).
It feels like a reference in the video but I’m not deep enough in geese lore to get it.
I mean if we take it at face value that Joyce is committed to communism, I’d argue that she wouldn’t just create bourgeois parties since that would be counterproductive. But we’re talking about some made up thing so yeah you have a good point.
Super rare good take from a .world user:
A lot of folks here are too young to remember this, but back in my day there was a democrat senator from Pennsylvania called John Fetterman. When he ran for this position, he was hailed as a new kind of progressive. Gave off serious working class vibes, wouldn’t wear a suit, and ran a really progressive ticket. He had a bit of an iffy past, involving threatening a black jogger with a shotgun, and fighting to gentrify the town of Braddock when he was mayor there. And of course, he had parents who were business owners who bought his political career for him. But we were told to ignore this, because he was saying a lot of progressive stuff now, and because the person he was running against was ostensibly worse (a tv doctor I think).
Anyway, he got elected, and the unimaginable happened: the guy who acted conservatively in the past, was acting conservatively in the present too! Even though he’d said he’d changed his tune and was a progressive now, he was supporting conservative legislation, and even enthousiastically supporting the genocide Israel is committing in Gaza (although it’s hard to find a democrat who doesn’t).
The Plattner situation reminds me of this. Rich parents, iffy past (3 tours of joining the illegal invasion of Iraq, and one in afghanistan, mercenary after, an actual, honest to god, I’m not making this up, nazi tattoo on his chest), and iffy present (he’s calling people who participated in the war crimes committed in Fallujah[1] “war heroes” in campaign interviews). It’d be kind of cool if we could learn from history instead of repeat it.
I>nb4 the greybeards bring up Obama and his progressive campaign.
[1] they besieged the entire city and cut off its water and electricity supply. This is a war crime. Imagine being an elderly or disabled person who cannot leave the city – these are the kinds of people targeted by this attack. This is the kind of stuff Israel does in Gaza that makes legal scholars say that they’re committing a genocide. Anyway, the folks that did this are war heroes, apparently.
Of course all the replies are that it doesn't matter we just need to 
It’s also more an indictment on realtors than it is praise of AI. Next time you’ll tell me AI is a competent landlord or health insurance broker.
I'd say there'd be an increase in overall leather consumption by having a strong second-hand market. Really not trying to dissuade people, you do you, but wanted to call out that things that hold onto their value in resale tend to be more desirable and could increase new sales.
This is just my made up take, i know nothing about leather, markets, or vegans.
really? i thought there'd be a noticeable difference between a full and empty tank. Like a 20lb tank holds 20lbs of co2, which you could definitely tell by hand. Now if they were trying to discern between varying levels of full, then yeah good luck.
I do think spiking should always come along with helpful signs informing the workers that some trees in the area have been spiked so that they cease operations for safety.
