He sees Carlson as weak and easily influenced. Carlson isnt stupid. Carlson has been typecast as an outsider. Carlson has been on a lot of JRE & friends podcasts which have a stronghold in modern media that caters to young men, conspiracy theorists, and GOP boot lickers.

I think Bow Tie Tuck is a better pick than many realize.

Quiet please. I'm trying to shout at my family. If I pause they may interject, and then I will have to explain further to them why they suck so hard.

Turning off unused utilities should be a universal human quality. I could go on a dad rant, but I'll spare you all. On second thought...

Lights: you can't see anything in a room you're not in.

Heat: we're not heating the outdoors. Put on clothes.

Cooling: we're not cooling the outdoors. Take off your clothes.

Water: we don't heat water just for the drain.

Refrigerator: keep it closed.

Laundry: wearing or using something doesn't mean it's dirty.

Showers: anything longer than 20 minutes is like shaking it 3 times. Hang your towel. If your towel is dirty, you aren't showering.

Food: take what you can eat. Eat what you can. Be ready to eat if you say you're hungry.

Cleaning: everytime you get up, take something with you. If you sat down with something, stand up with it.

In general: you all suck. Stop sucking so hard.

"And how long ago was your last doctor's visit?"

"Uh, 7-ish years ago?"

" Great. That'll be $350."

The DNC would never allow it. They have actively worked against him twice and at least once they took ~~bribes~~. Ahem. Sorry. Contingency based donations.

Him telling anyone to back Biden shows they have a political gun to his back, but God do we need him in office. Too bad the rich are for some reason opposed to taxing the the rich 🤷

I have experienced it, and in my experience it was in no way possible for it to be confirmation bias. My wife and I sometimes do something weird where we just talk for hours. Crazy I know, but we bounce ideas off each other to an extent that we get into conversations about stuff we have never talked about nor ever searched for. Not even anything remotely close to related to things we search for.

We used to have and use a lot of Google home minis. Within hours we would see ads for the exact thing we were talking about. We would see ads for thing related to conversations we had within hours. We started getting hyper vigilant about it. We started randomly talking clearly and loudly about nonsense subjects and products that we have no sense to talk about and waiting to see how long it would take to see a suggested ad pushed to us by Google. It usually took less than 24 hours no matter what it was. This went on for months.

It became a running joke to us and I would walk into the room and say something like "I would love to buy a farberware brand vegetable peeler. There is nothing more that I would like than to purchase farberware brand appliances and homewares". My wife would laugh, and usually before the end of the night I would have large targeted ads on my phone for farberware appliances.

Honestly since we stopped using the Google home minis (since they barely work with anything due to googles bullshit software support) it happens far far less.

It starts out as $1.99 but everyone forgets that as life goes on they take more pictures and videos and have to keep upgrading cloud sevices to keep their memories intact.

NFTs were doomed because of what they are.

Getty, the giant corporate image copywriting company, is essentially selling images with the same intent that NFTs were created for. The only difference is that once the image is sold on Getty, it's actually sold. Finding another copy of the image is nearly impossible. The image then actually has value and most importantly, sole ownership.

I tried to find a photo I saw in a TV show and found they bought it from Getty. That photo is gone from the internet. Aquiring it would mean contacting the TV studio with the cash ready to buy the rights and use of it. They bought it for maybe $30. Buying it from them would be an astronomical price and would take a lot of work. Buying to resell would be a gamble on the shows long-term popularity.

So instead of buying an image outright, owning it forever, and having all control of it's use, you could buy an NFT that anyone can download, claim you own it yet never be able to access the original file, and you don't have any reasonable right to claim copyright. It's just nonsense pump and dump bullshit.

Would I buy a pet rock? No, but that didn't stop people from buying pet rocks.

I don't mind Oldspice's BEARGUN BEER THRASHER. Reminds me of my childhood abuse.

I just told my wife 20 minutes ago that I was sad because he was dragged through the mud by media years ago and "it's not like he was in his 70s". Turns out he was 70. He looked damn good for a 70 year old.
