Say what you will about Newsom, he’s a Democrat striking back by talking plainly. Maybe some Democrats will find their fucking unused spines can be used to stand up.

LOL, nah. Anyone of liberal bent is determined to strike the governor down for his sins. “Not good enough!”, they scream as they’re hauled off to the trains, unarmed, as they wished to be. Good luck you fucking pansies! (Is “pansy” still politically correct? Or did I offend .0235% of the population?)

I love King’s work, LOVE IT. Never read anyone who taps into what childhood was actually like so much as he does. Can’t speak to the girls, but us little boys were exactly as described. OTOH, his child characters are always a few years ahead of their time.

*The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" was a perfect example. She’s fucking 9 years old! Kids are basically retarded at that age. I have/had one of each sex. I could go on forever. King nails those childhood thoughts and actions, but he ascribes them to kids a few years shy of how they really be.

I would say that times were different for him growing up, and maybe that’s my problem. I’m old enough to be his middle-aged son. And yes, we grew up far faster than kids do now days. And reflecting on that, yeah, maybe that’s why I feel he’s out of touch? Sometimes I find social media opinions on what constitutes childhood to be way out of whack. I was fucking like Armageddon was next Tuesday when I was 17, yet lemmy tells me I was a child?

Does that make sense?

Fucking weird, isn’t it? Another rant would be about where is all the advertising money coming from?! Imagining being a buyer, I’d have to wonder how well my spend would be profiting.

A couple of decades ago I played around with being a salesman. Top advice was to try this ad, try that ad, compare results. Surely these people are finding revenue from spending on these ads? It just seems impossible to me that there’s profit for all of these cockroaches.

I feel like you weren’t there, in that time and place. Or maybe you were in some weird pocket where OTA wasn’t available? Can’t remember anyone bitching about lack of antennae service. Yeah, it could be sketchy, but I think most of us could drag in ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS.

So sorry, but it’s been a few years. Took a stab at finding it, failed. You’ll find many like discussions here:

I know. Reddit is anathema around here, but there’s a damned fine, and sane, community there.

I’m old, so many may not relate. I remember when the big selling point of this newfangled “cable TV” thing was zero ads. Can you imagine that?

Yeah, I have Prime for the savings on shipping. Got the Kodi addon for watching Prime, never used it except to watch The Expanse a few years ago. Would have been fucking enraged if I had seen ads cut into that. Fuck am I paying for?!

How about linen? This is a woman’s shirt, $2 at the thrift, super comfy and smooth. LOL, the vest is also a woman’s top, also $2.

Wearing one now! I’m not sensitive to clothing, but damn, water shirts are nice and cheap. Got a bunch for $1 each at the beach on sale.

I always wear one to keep the sun off me when I’m in the water all day and I’ve noticed they’re what landscaping guys wear around here.

You can get sweet cufflinks for cheap on eBay, maybe etsy. I’ve got a box full, even some I made by breaking off the stud and pouring resin.

Kinda sorta? At least it nailed a magic user and made me middle aged.

Never happen without legislation. People want super thin phones, manufactures want you buying new phones.

Immorten Joe’s daughter. Interesting.

Capitalist, who is fucking over everyone under him, is overthrown by communists who quickly become rich tyrants and fuck over everyone under them. What’s political here?!

…are people having mental health crises because they’re becoming obsessed with ChatGPT, or are they becoming obsessed with ChatGPT because they’re having mental health crises?

I’m inclined to believe the latter. But fuck me, when most of my countrymen read at a 6th-grade level, at best, I have no idea what’s happening. My daughter is entering 7th-grade next year, top of class in reading she says. I am horrified to think that her intellectual level is above that of most Americans.

And one man walked away from that. The mind boggles.

I had no idea!

That’s the most appallingly ignorant statement I will see today, I can already tell.

America is done. Fucking pussies, “NoaW! Don’t fight back! Just sing and dance and they’ll be forced to stop hurting us!” Pansy ass little bitches. And that means you OP.

Not to be a jerk, but the presentation, uh, is lacking.
