I wish I could say that once the election is over, all this shit will just fade into the rearview.
Jan 6th 2021 however tells us otherwise.

I fear the coming months.

It took me until my 20s before I could swallow pills without gagging and spitting out water.
Then one day something just clicked and since then, no problem.
I can do one, two or even eight at a time like it's nothing.

And he slides out of another one.... Fucker is so slippery that even bullets don't stick.

Trump, Trump, Trump. "All these things Trump could do..."

How about, Biden could have Trump assassinated as a political rival.
Done and done.

What the fuck are the moderators even there for?

So much time is being taken with, "let me keep talking about the question from ten minutes ago and ignore what you just asked."

Sorry people with children. The question that focused on your issues were just skipped over.

I wouldn't even mind the ads if they just played maybe one per three or four videos. That would still bring in a massive amount of money without pissing everyone off.
Instead we get up to two ads every couple of minutes.

It's all about blatant greed.

Funny how surgeons don't seem to have the problems this flyer describes.
And I better not open this person's closet and find a single scarf.

How anyone can still believe this shit just confounds me.

If only we had vaccines for this.
Oh, wait.

If anyone ever thinks differently, this video should convince you.
If you work for a corporation, you are not a person with a name, you are a number. And that number is the amount of money given to you as pay and benefits.

And when the corporation no longer likes your number, you can be unceremoniously shown the door, regardless of your past performance.

Physical buttons in cars for radio and environment settings.

There used to be a time when I could have my hand on the gear shifter and just reach out with my fingers to change radio stations or adjust the heat or a/c without needing to look down at all.
Now with modern touchscreens in cars, you can't do any of that. I have gotten used to playing with the radio via the steering wheel buttons, but anything else requires hunting around, looking for the correct spot to touch the screen.
And yet they say, "don't take your eyes off the road!"

Because news cycles play to the lowest common denominator.
Sex, scandals, arrests. Those topics get eyeballs.

And in the case of Faux News, they take that to the extreme by blatantly ignoring anything good that Biden may be doing in favor of spewing the latest far-right lies.

Biden could announce tomorrow that he has a proven plan that will end world hunger forever and the majority of people will still just tune in to whatever crap is currently on TLC.

I asked my 79 y/o mother if she knew. She didn't even blink. "Because they're not blue."

Impossible to argue with that logic.
