I worked billing and tech support for a cable company briefly in my 20s. Was able to see how much of the average cable bill is tax and surcharges. Couldnt pay for that in good conscience ever again, assume its even worse now. I ended up refusing to split the cable bill with roommates back before I owned my house. Been almost 15 years now that I haven't had cable in the home. Feels pretty good. I love the crazy looks I get from Boomers when I tell them. They'll ask "well how do you get your news?" to which I reply, "I have a journalism degree, the last thing I need is to get my news from TV corporations". Usually evokes a real life version of the NPC meme or Pikachu face meme lol

I finally gave up on the NFL this year. I know, late to the party per usual. But it doesn't actually bring me any happiness, was nothing more than a pastime in the end. Kind of makes it easy to let go.

They launched Covid too early last time. This is a course correction. Now they'll attempt to time the lockdowns for election week.

Congrats on your first adult opinion Stepfanie. I too remember the day when I realized I wouldn't be friends with my 20 year old self.

The way of the world is now to double down on an indefensible position rather than admit you were wrong. Thanks internet/social media.

I graduated under Bush 43 and the teachers weren't trying to turn me into a girl either. The trans thing has not even been around for a decade. If you pay attention to the news timeline rather than the news cycle, then you already know that this transgender horse shit started immediately after Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. Progressives didnt even take a victory lap. Literally no one was talking about using the other sex's bathrooms until 2015.

I had been obese since I was a teenager and started working on finally slaying the dragon about 2 years ago (July 4th is my anniversary, how cool is that?). I started with only resistance training in the gym, then added in cardio, then tuned my diet. The only carbs I'm eating are 100% whole grain bread, tortillas and rice. Everything else is animal protein, fruits and vegetables. For drink all I consume is water, coffee, whole milk and unsweetened tea. No alcohol. Been on the diet since about Christmas and I'm down about 40 pounds. I feel better than I did in my 20s.

I have a whiteboard on my fridge and I wrote this quote on it

"The toughest enemy you will ever encounter is yourself."

Motivates me like you would not believe. I'm not perfect and sometimes lose to myself still, but I've made remarkable improvements in most areas of my life living by this philosophy.

Can I borrow the time machine after that? I want to make sure the 44th president is never born.

I think people get the idea that Taylor Swift is an op because of the timing of her relationship with Travis Kelce going public being immediately after he became the face of Pfizer's new covid shot ad campaign.

I dont think Taylor Swift has the power to influence the election in a measurable way. If she comes out and endorses Biden, anyone who votes based on that would have done it if any celebrity told them to. Other celebrities surely will do the same, so it will wash out in my opinion.

Evey presidential election the left uses celebrity pawns to influence votes. Katy Perry endorsed Obama and Hillary. This is not new.

Great people and great food in Oklahoma. Always feels like I never left Texas until you start seeing all the weed shops and casinos.

Fake news has obviously been around for ages but I truly believe the Reality TV boom of the late 90s and early 00s primed the pump for mass propaganda brainwashing of the US public. Reality TV showed them the production value needed for the average person to actually believe it was real. It was then applied to the news and the season 1 premiere was September 11th, 2001. Change my mind.

Long time ago I worked for a cable company in their call center doing sales and support work. After I saw how much tax is in those monthly bills coupled with dishonesty about how long you were getting the lower "new customer" rate I lost the willingness to pay for that product. It's probably even worse now. You really are paying for all the content you get even the stuff you never watch. Ridiculous. Cut the cord in 2013 and haven't missed it. Still use antenna so I can pick up the free channels, there are a few that air older shows from the pre woke era and that's nice to have for a rainy day.

Go directly to his Rumble channel for the latest videos. Same thing was happening to me when I just did searches for X22 in the app. Thought he stopped posting until I figured it out.

Breaking Bad also nails it with the street level drug use and distribution culture too. Theres so many scenes in that show that remind me of something I actually witnessed or someone I know.

Well until he plays again, his official last pass was thrown to a Lions player, so you got that going for you.
