At some point we have to fight back on all the lies, why not here I guess.

One of my mothers boomer quotes , "I'm going to spend my kids inheritance". She did too. She is now 84 and needs to sell and borrow. Good thing I believed her when she started saying this in 1988.

This was what they found in other schools too. One specific location ( I can't remember where) the dads formed a group to a) keep kids peaceful and b) because they were being sent to jail for schoolyard bs. It was a largely black school. If you want to look it up with the sad details my brain is providing. Sry

For at least 30 years middle Georgia (USA) has asked for rail commute to Atlanta and Savannah.

Now see.....this rail used to be a passenger rail. Somehow this ended and we can't get it back.

With the abysmal traffic in Atlanta, this would seemingly call for enthusiasm. Somehow the issue always dies quietly after a poll is given.

Living in Savannah, I'd really just like the old passenger schedule to re open.

Not gonna happen anytime soon.

I was taken to task aa a hostess in 1989 for saying ," enjoy your lunch" rather than "gentlemen enjoy your lunch"

Organic ,non bot, actual real conversation, is not going to skyrocket. It's going to grow like a real world thing. This is good imo

I love you lemmy, this is why I'm here tkutkutku

I went to join Planet Fitness, they insist on an app. They watched me leave. Kroger charged more than advertised, ooooh it was a digital coupon only available through the app. I left the item with the cashier. Order out? Only on an app? I guess I didn't want to eat that so much anyway.

Edit to add: I don't know how we are going to deal with apps that are forced upon you, that feels really gross especially if you are younger, like at your school. Forced commodification should be illegal.

Not going to do it, it feels controlling and abusive and I've worked too damn hard to let that shit go on.

Aaron Schwartz approves this comment.

Wow, I'd never heard of this . Just now playing the video. This is indeed a terrifying decision to protect a very corrupt man, and a system that allowed him to do these things.

I can't be the only person who wondered "what's his real motive" when he volunteered these for free, knowing much of what he is known for. I guess people he's visited in DC have benefitted as well, because surely they knew this wouldn't go well, right?

Aye, I left when they started up their bs in Canada. I will very grudgingly turn it on once Three Body Problem is out and then turn it right back off. Or even, if I can buy TBP from another streamer or DVD , I'll wait and do that. This greedy crap from Netflix is personal to me. So sick of greed.
