  I have a “smart TV” and I plug it into my receiver and use it as a monitor. I use the term smart TV that way, because it is more than 10 years old when TVs were just starting to have these features. I should also point out that the receiver does all of the spying that the TV isn’t doing. Not sure what I’ll do when the TV dies.

  I must say, your typing is flawless for a drunk person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Git good, son⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you could teach him. Better for both of you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have a very strange question about washers, dryers and the Middle East.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s probably true of most of them. I haven’t really looked at mine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In their defense you would think just being against fascism might be enough. Turns out it isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have a very strange question about washers, dryers and the Middle East.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My dryer is on the right, but the direction the door swings makes it better that way. If it were on the left I would have trouble moving the wet clothes from the washer to the dryer without hitting the door all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this what every election is like?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think most elections would have been as if a Kamala Harris ran against another Kamala Harris. In other words, two normal politicians so that the result wasn’t perceived as much of a difference who one. Also, in the past if a politician said things like, “you won’t have to vote again” or called the opponent names, he would have been shredded in the media and probably lost the election due to scandal. I mean a felon has never run for president before. Trump just somehow has different rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My problem is that most movies I like were never universally panned, they were just sort of so so. Movies like Fandango. I really liked it but I think it got like a 5.5 on IMDB.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Même] Which movie was this for you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like most, I totally disagree. However, it had such great potential.

  I feel the same about Valerian. The imagery was pure eye candy and then I watched it, so looking forward to a great flick, and what I got was… Valerian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure Trump said we wouldn’t have to worry about voting anymore. It would all be taken care of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Republicans bring up Kamala's "lies"/shortcomings as a way to claim Trump is better?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be honest, I do the same thing. I would vote for a dead person to avoid Trump’s shortcomings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pretty sound reasoning here.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. Nuance, you know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pretty sound reasoning here.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is so flawed it isn’t even funny.

  You need way more than 1,000,000 fingers. This is America after all. Even if you use all ten fingers, that’s only like 9.9 million guns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any question like this can always be answered by asking yourself, who would profit from this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people doing this at voting locations in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not just, you know, Halloween?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL. That was an assumption on my part. Eat at your own risk, huh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We used to. They were called Vendo-mats. They had sandwiches and cakes and all kinds of things. They weren’t exactly vending machines in the sense that things would fall down. The food was behind a little door you’d open after paying. I’m too young to remember what the stuff tasted like, but it seemed pretty good because the food would always have to be put in the machines fresh every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no hurricane in Florida. That's fake news. Global warming is a hoax made up by the Chinese to destroy American industry. Donald Trump said so and he never lies.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no hurricane in Florida. That's fake news. Global warming is a hoax made up by the Chinese to destroy American industry. Donald Trump said so and he never lies.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ummm, is this how shitposting works? It’s a serious question. I really don’t know.

  I’m no fan of Trump but I don’t believe he said that. In fact, he was complaining about the Biden/Harris response to the hurricane. On the other hand, it wouldn’t surprise me. So is there a source for this or we just don’t care?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which are the lesser-known movies that are well worth seeing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite: Stranger than Fiction

  Also, Fandango, Passengers, Life or Something Like it, Birdy, Home Office

  Some can be hard to find.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The mark⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Me too! WTF? Why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Name generator⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL. They really do sound like Star Wars names.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry this happened but if it makes you feel better, I’d totally love to come over there and chow down on all of that stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon finds a flashdrive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Perfect way to get a nasty virus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  She’s still a politician. It’s easy to put her on a pedestal because she’s NOT Trump, but without him, how excited would you really be about Harris?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is interesting. Source?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why limit immigration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure why you were downvoted, but this is a good point. In fact, I find it interesting that the US hasn’t stopped pretending and just lifted the law against hiring illegal immigrants.

  It’s the main argument on how to stop illegal immigration, no one seems to talk about. Instead of building walls, jailing people or even shooting them for crossing the border, they should crack down on the people who hire them. To me it’s just conservatives admitting that their opinions are just racist.

  Sorry if you the conversation was about Europe. Just relating it to home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think your expectations are too high. They DO indeed care nothing for you, EVEN if they DO hire you.

  You cope with this by understanding that and doing your best to make sure you NEVER need them more than they need you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Varanasi gouldii burrows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see. Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Varanasi gouldii burrows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok. But why his location? Because the Obama administration said they buried him secretly. Thanks for the response.
