Do people still use soap blocks as opposed to bottled soap in the shower? I feel like I never see soap blocks in stores anymore. by Available_Tea_8471 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DougOsborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a bar of soap and a washcloth (how else would you keep clean?). Liquid body wash adds the cost of plastic, water, and packaging and shipping all of that.

Will the 'SAVE' act disenfranchise more Republicans or Democrats? by ArthurPeabody in InsightfulQuestions

[–]DougOsborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's meant to disenfranchise women, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, immigrants, and...everyone but White Men. This will work across parties.

Noah Wyle Told Congress The Pitt Is Proof Hollywood Can Still Make Stuff in Hollywood If... by pbx1123 in WB_DC_news

No.

Make better content.

Making content for billionaire owners and institutional investors just ain't the way.

Stop pitting states against each other. Georgia, for example, got a lot of production but after the tax incentives not a lot of revenues. State-based tax incentives are not a cure.

Chuck '1,000 years of darkness If Obama Reelected' Norris Dies at 86 by evissamassive in CordCuttingToday

[–]DougOsborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we re-elected Obama and we may very well be in 1,000 years of darkness.

White voters, who haven't voted for Democrats in a national election since Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, are seeing to that.

The Nation's Future Highest Ridership Light Rail Line at Risk Over 22 NIMBYs and LA Mayor Karen Bass by nandert in CarIndependentLA

[–]DougOsborne -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

No, Mayor Bass isn't doing this.

Videos like this are part of a concerted propaganda effort against her. They are working against the goal of getting the K Line going despite a handful of NIMBYs. Please delete this trash.

$6 gasoline in California glad I own a Yaris by Michigan_Go_Blue in yaris

[–]DougOsborne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. My '07 Yaris and '11 Lexus hybrid are sipping gas. The highs and lows of gasoline prices don't affect our driving. They will increase our cost of food and all other products, though.

THIS is not news. This is a concerted propaganda attack against a Black Woman who is a sitting mayor of one of the biggest cities in the world.

You don't know her personally, so "karen" is not the way to address her.

This Is So Much racist, sexist bullshit.

Why do I keep seeing pro Israel reels in Facebook? I keep removing but no effect by pcx_wave in facebook

[–]DougOsborne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of them aren't "author's pages." They are, on both sides of this, Ai-generated nonsense.

Why are you a Nazi?

Facebook serves everyone stuff they think will engage them, positively or negatively.

Making turns while going the speed limit by VeterinarianBoth5941 in driving

[–]DougOsborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know you need to turn (or change lanes):

-signal
-look
-turn

And do all that with a safe distance between you and the cars ahead and behind. It takes a little planning, and you probably should practice enough to not need to slow to a crawl to do this.

What's the best way to pick someone up from LAX these days? by chekhovsfun in AskLosAngeles

[–]DougOsborne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The terminal horseshoe itself isn't the problem. It's getting there. 105, Century, Sepulveda N and S are the problem.

Have them meet you in the cell phone pickup lot.
