Also from the article:

Earlier on Thursday, the FCC approved Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount Global, clearing the way for that merger after Skydance agreed to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and install a watchdog over CBS News. That was on top of the $16 million Paramount paid Trump over the CBS News lawsuit, and the additional $16 million that Trump has said Skydance agreed to pay via those “public service announcements.”

Solid dedication! Nice work!

Thank you for contributing meaningfully to making this community awesome.

Not even close to a true statement

I feel like I’m constantly surrounded by people who want to talk about last night’s game and all the dominoes that need to be in place for home team to make it to the finals.

Yeah, but if the state is constantly working it’s ass off to stop other states from getting that federal assistance, they should go fuck themselves.

I really want, at this point, blue states to unionize this stuff on their own and let those red states deal with their own shit like they keep demanding

There’s an unexpected amount of philosophical rants and theory dropping throughout the book. Welcome, but unexpected for people who go in to read an action novel.

The magas refuse to test or report, so scientists, once again fighting uphill battles, are testing regional wastewater instead to estimate

But how many times I’ve scrolled down to a happy smiling face, I start to smile too, them BAM, title starts: Teen killed when…"

It’s time to kick maga ass and chew bubblegum. And I’m all out of bubblegum

I don’t know where to look. Please help

The question was can I pour oil down the drain. The “Rule of Thumb” (a general catch-all rule that plumbers use) is if it can’t rinse away with water, don’t pour it down the drain. I replied to whether you can pour olive oil down the drain. I don’t know why you started talking about washing dishes.

Nothing oily that doesn’t rinse away with water?

Yet. It can take several years to build up

Nope. Nothing oily that doesn’t rinse away completely with water. Most people forget butter and peanut butter, too.

I can’t tell if people here are pouring their grease down the drain.

The answer is don’t. “It will be fine” for the person who told you that it will be fine, but it will absolutely fail for you. You know that by now. Also that guy is lying and already had to snake his drain but won’t tell you that.

This apartment isn’t big enough for the two of us and your constant eating of beans. You know why

One of mine is in high school, and as much as I hate the confirming culture, especially because it’s led by morons and marketing, I choose the same path. I allowed my (now high school kid) to participate in all the awful crap that I would never do myself when she felt middle school pressure. She was in the popular kids group.

The caveat has been it all comes with extreme education from my end. Not demeaning or condescending. I over-preach about marketing/ads/influencers and constantly question why people make the choices they do. I question everything though. “How do you know that?” often leads back to tick tock.

In my experience, the OTHER kids are now getting smarter as they age. Mine is now able to live her life how she wants and is still with that same group , and the kids (I shit you not) look to her for purchasing advice. The vanity kinda goes away as their brains leave that dumb social hierarchy age.

Note: My kids are/were decked out in Nike. We live by the world headquarters and a good chunk of the kids’ parents work there. If that isn’t peer pressure, I dunno what is!

I wonder where they’re all flying these days. Who’s keeping the current list? How many years from now does someone come forward to tell the same story

If they report on the old things: “this isn’t new news! Stupid media”

If they don’t, “ugh 24 hour news cycle, they report on it once then forget about it. Stupid media.”

I’m giving this one a pass if it keeps the files in the limelight and/or pisses off Trump.
