Was just thinking about this. Normally I don’t like shows where I don’t care about any of the characters. Somehow, It’s Always Sunny has found this groove where I enjoy watching these characters I hate.

Low key amazing woman.

That movie still gives me the feels. At the end when they’re riding the scooter and make the funny faces at the camera. It’s perfect, and she was amazing in that role.

So many excellent suggestions, I have to ask. Where do y’all find the time to listen to all of this!?

Agreed. Like so many things, I think law enforcement can help rein in the stock market. If there were a way to move the SEC under maybe the Fed(?) and require full funding of the agency as the cost of doing business on any stock market in the US (with similar institutions in other countries). Probably a flawed idea, but I think the goal is sensible: remove the SEC from political ambitions and whims and make the market directly fund its regulatory adherence.

Also more people need to suffer severe prison sentences for financial shenanigans. We also need to go back to separate deposit and investment banks.

If I’m not mistaken, the US has the beginnings of this in place already in the form of taxes on short-term investments. I’m by no means a tax expert, but this could be a starting point, maybe.

While I agree with the goal, this doesn’t make the underlying voter sentiment go away. What is the German government doing to address the underlying reasons for AFD’s rise? Regardless of their veracity, those thoughts are prevalent enough to cause this problem. While they might lessen, they won’t simply go away with the party if it’s banned. They have to be addressed, one way or another. I’m in the US, and I would argue that, out side of his base, most Trump voters don’t like the guy at all. Yet the Democrats’ “We’re not them” message has so far not been an consistent winner!

“Jarvis” is an option with Home Assistant’s voice assistant.

Butt, since they “have all the cards” why would the US do that!?

I’m beginning to think Trump doesn’t really know what it means to “have all the cards.” I suspect that’s why he was unable to successfully run a casino. More than once.

The last season was better than S2. Wonder what happened to make Jay quit.

Meanwhile, Carney will hopefully be signing new trade deals with Japan, Mexico, and Europe, freezing the US out entirely. They should also maybe shut off the oil pipelines coming out of ‘Berta.

Awhile back I read a trilogy of books called “The Iron Harvest.” Going in, I didn’t really buy the premise, but book 1 was on sale for either free or around a dollar. The premise was a near future where privacy ceased to exist. People had figured out how to make it so people could experience any past event through the eyes as a person who was there. They couldn’t change anything, but they could be in the moment as the person participating in it. I wound buying all three books.

In the past 5 or so years, I’m believing the premise more and more. What little privacy we still have will continue to be eroded away.

Everyone is being deliberately divided. It’s not specific to minority groups. I guess my issue is that the post is vague and assumes minority groups act as voting blocs which is pretty simplistic. OP is basically saying what everyone already knows: that there are more people making up “minorities” than there are making up the “majority.” I would argue that your local community has a higher impact on your vote than your ethnicity or race. For sure, those play a part, but they don’t singularly define your vote. Also, various minority groups skew quite differently. Latinos typically skew more conservative than, say Jews or blacks.

Something I haven’t seen mentioned is an attic fan. They’re mounted on the ceiling of your highest floor. These used to be common before AC became so widespread. Basically, you open your windows, and the fan sucks air in through the windows, through the house and up into the attic, where an exhaust fan can push it out.

I do, and my point wasn’t. Not all minority groups agree on everything just because they’re minorities. The world is a tad more complicated than that. Besides, what are they “coming together” to do? Overthrow the “majority?” Does that automatically assume that the majority is wrong and minorities are right just because they’re minorities? Again, the world’s just not that simple.

Yeah, I was done after 2 seasons. Just stopped being entertaining.

Guy on the night shift was watching porn on his computer. When it was shown to management, they said, “how do you know it was him?” So we set up a webcam and showed them video of him watching porn. Still didn’t get fired. A little while later, one of the cleaning ladies was shocked when the elevator opened to see this guy getting a BJ. Still wasn’t fired. In fact, a few months later, he won Employee of the Month! That was a messed up place to work.

Bob sounds like a fucking legend!

This assumes the minority groups can all agree on things in order to “come together.”
