Ate out with the wife tonight, and got an unexpected political back-to-back: the restaurant had CNN playing on one end of my field of view, and Fox on the other.

CNN reported on all kinds of shit. Every time I looked up, different topic. They went back to the upcoming debate and the Gaza genocide a couple times, but otherwise just an even spread of unfolding events.

Fox spent most of the time talking about how left wing media will spin the debate to make Trump look like an extremist; and then a few small snips about how illegal immigrants are terrorizing our society and getting our youth hooked on fentanyl. They even managed to bitch about Hillary lol, although I missed the context... assuming they're still rambling about emails.

People who watch Fox must be terrified and angry like all the time lol.

I completely missed the "with" in your first sentence and, wow, I had some thoughts and feelings which I am glad I didn't share without re-reading what you wrote first.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I was wondering which restaurants this guy was able to eat his wife out at. Every time I've tried I get the old, "Sir, this is White Castle, even we have standards."

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, at White Castle you have to at least use one of those tiny napkins to wipe up after.
