"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

-Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

You absolutely should, it's a glorious bottomless rabbithole.

What makes you think people are fine with it? ISPs have monopolies over service areas and can do whatever the fuck they want. They have monopolies because of corporate lobbying. No amount of voting gets these corrupt fucks out of office bc votes literally do not matter and there's only two parties, they're both to the right of center, and they're both bought and sold. Just to really make sure, we're all taught from birth that the US is peak civilization and all other countries are backwater shitholes.

Jim Croce. He died relatively early in his career and was already an amazing songwriter. What could he have written with more time?

Where did the siren sound come from? Are they making paramedics work double duty as dispatchers now?

Yeah, I only had a handful of CDs because they were too expensive! I jumped on the napster train and got a CD burner as soon as I could.

Oppressed minorities are not required to be on their very best behavior in order to avoid being oppressed further. 🙄

The guy could be a serial killer and the dad would still be wrong for saying that.

The standard price where I grew up was $13. Feels like a steal these days.

Don't worry, plenty of Trekkies don't know/care about what's popular either. That's why we're still making memes about a sixty year old series 🥲

Once you're a member it shows you a section in the app store. Unfortunately I'm not sure where to find a list before subscribing.

I tried to watch Lower Decks that way (on Prime) but it detected the VPN and didn't let me. 😭

Ugh, stop commenting here, you've already shown you have no idea how to help autistic people and you're running your mouth about shit you don't understand.

Don't come at me with this bullshit about you working in disability care, either. The world is full of shit disability workers; it's not the flex you think it is.

You're not even part of this community, you just stumbled across it. Kindly fuck off.
