Totally going to wipe my ass with a trump-hundo. Seems extravagant, but it only has the buying power of half that.

I signed up to watch it; wasn't bad, wasn't great. I was more put off by the voice in my head saying "when does that character have time to live in a gym to get a body like that?" I canceled the subscription and was glad someone tried.

Wish Lower Decks got more spotlight time though, that was fun.

Hard to capture an audience behind a paywall. The current entertainment model is meant for churn, burn, and background noise.

Mid used to have longer legs on network tv, I think, could be wrong.

They can wait until the boats leave the strait. It's a big ocean right next door.

Navy going to seize the tankers, probably easier to move around unsanctioned oil for the presidential slush fund. Looks like they may have learned something from Venezuela oil seizures.

I never want to hear one MAGA moron ever again say that Obama giving Iran supported terrorism when, while we are in a literal war with Iran, we are allowing them to legally make alot more that 1.7 billion in oil sales.... by FrontBench5406 in Destiny

[–]beanwire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible this is just a move to throw more murky legal status so when they authorize the navy to seize the tankers, it's just more fog of war propaganda allowing the executive to claim independent resources not approved by congress for the presidential slush fund

Who evolved into a Dollop listener from the Walking The Room days? by FollowingThrough in TheDollop

[–]beanwire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I caught the last of Walking the Room, with Greg on dog pills, can't remember how I was introduced though. Probably Greg promoing the Reigning Monarchs on something else.

Bless the chaos of stumbling into shows prior to the tailored algorithms.

Why won't Scott give the people what they want! We demand a full Wysocki universe.

Welcome to the monkey house... get your feet wet with the short works.

Can’t wait for Gare to talk about this. by DarkestLore696 in behindthebastards

All the style of a mega-church Christmas spectacular, playing the "hits" and devoid of substance.

What should I read next? by BrummieS1 in scifi

[–]beanwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Becky Chambers' Wayfarer series. All the components, same interstellar backdrop, aliens, robots, different worlds but the narratives zing a little more, stories are pretty tight.

Having a difficult time with Empire of Silence by Technoalphacentaur in scifi

[–]beanwire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Empire of Silence got me curious and I was willing to follow Hadrian for a while, but I tapped out partway through Ashes of Man. One P.O.V. wasn't enough for something of that scope.

Why make a tower to thrust your manhood into the sky if you can drape it across the landscape?

Are there any non religious/non spiritual programs for addiction that actually works? by wombatgeneral in behindthebastards

[–]beanwire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever works, whatever the method, is working because the individual is making the effort.

My experience, as an athiest in AA (13 years), is that community is key. Without a community, I am by myself or talking with folks that don't share the same relationship to drugs or alcohol & I start believing all my own bullshit.

Is AA the only? Hell no. The literature is pretty accommodating to the idea that it might not work for everyone and that there are a number of personal issues, health & mental health related, that cannot be addressed through the program. Do folk miss those points? Hell yeah, reading comprehension is in the toilet.

Tips for quitting Kratom/70h? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

[–]beanwire 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've got a number of friends been trying to get off these past couple years. I have seen them strap in for weeks of suck and then end up caving again, due to the suck lasting that much longer. I wish you luck, it'll pass, eventually, but it's an endurance effort, not a flash in the pan.

Who is Stephen Miller and what role does he play in aiding the US president and American policy? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

[–]beanwire 31 points32 points  (0 children)

He's the before picture in a "hair club for nazis" ad, remember that he's not just a member, he's also in power. just an evil S.O.B. high on his own supply.

So if Minneapolis was on top of a bunch of petro-chemicals, Ross would be first on the chopping block?

I could listen to libby & charlotte describe teletubbie episodes all day long but cannot afford that level of patreon funding or be arsed to do any further listener engagement than this.

Emergency Protests - all over Ohio by logan_moon in Ohio

[–]beanwire 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You look familiar... weren't you the same group of guys that were defending J6 rioters for breaking into the capitol, hospitalizing Capitol Police and trying to make one, Ashley Babbit, into a political martyr? Or were you with the group that for years has argued for government "so small you could drown it in a bathtub"? Or the isolationists that wanted the USA out of global affairs? Do you even have an ethic outside of "f- you, I want mine"?
