I did the same thing with Vizio and it eventually would randomly turn off, or sound wouldn’t work or something, you’d call support and they’d tell you that you have to update it. It doesn’t make any sense, but I did it and it would work find for awhile again. Thr tinfoil hat in me says they do that to get whatever info they have stored on you.

First season isn’t bad, it’s a little more grounded in reality. As a person who watched it when it premiered, it was something new and wild, but it’s definitely tamer, and also as someone mentioned, does not have the craziness of Danny Devito.

Man, not having adblockers built into my app gives me a view into the world others live in. There was an ad, another ad stacked on top of it, a paragraph and then a other ad.

Torrentleech is a good general tracker. It can be slow to grow ratio, but have most everything commonly.

Napster was reparations for Soul Asylums Strangers With Candy album.

The other side if that is why should I tip you for putting cookies in a box. Or putting my take out food in a bag. Why should I pay 20 percent added on top because their manager doesn’t want to pay them and instead puts the expectation on me the customer.

Like, I get it for if you are serving me food, refilling my drinks etc, but these people need to get real.

Aroooo!! Fucking half priced appetizers after nine!!!

Sounds like something an HR professional would say to make sure everyone coughs up the info when they ask.

MY MAN WHEN YOU SPEAK WITH THE PACK YOU HAVE TO CRANK THOSE RESPONSES UP TO 11 LIKE YOURE CRANKING YOUR HOG TO MEGAPORN

I would support it. Make the average citizen of Russia feel as unsafe as the Ukranians feel. I’m not saying target civilians, but make it known you can. Russia isn’t playing by the rules. If Russia manages to crush Ukraine, will anyone sleep better at night going ‘At least Ukraine played fair’.

Yeah. That’s it. Not because I proved your nonsense wrong every step of the way. Whatever makes you feel better.

Ultimately to get the votes for Obamacare they agreed on a mandate that required people to have health insurance, but part of the negotiation was there could be no public option and they would have to purchase from a private insurance company but the insurance companies could not have exceptions for pre-existing conditions and could not have a maximum lifetime payout. That last sentence is what made it all worth it. And while there were people hostile to LGBTQ people, it was not like it is now. I find it amazing that everytime I come with receipts you just claim that I have nothing, but have offered zero counterpoints.

They couldn’t have passed healthcare for all because they didn’t have the votes. Remember, they needed 60. So they compromised and moved in the right direction. Also, in 2009 there wasn’t such an open hate for the LGBTQ community. States were legalizing gay marriage, and the defense of marriage act was overturned eventually also. It’s only the last few years that the hate rhetoric has been turned up. A lot of things changed for a lot of people. And they did raise taxes. Guess what was undone in 2016 by the Republicans who are so the same as the democrats. You’re unwilling to see it because you’re afraid of admitting you’re wrong regardless of how many times I’ve proven it. All you can do is scream the word Zionist over and over like a play-acting intellectual in between bouts of being demonstrably wrong

I bet the families that could finally get health insurance because pre existing conditions were finally forced to be covered feel different. I bet the kid who outgrew their prosthetic legs and couldn’t get new ones because they reached their lifetime coverage before they turned 18 feels different. I bet the kids who grew up here but were considered ‘illegal’ (imagine being illegal just by existing somewhere) felt relief when they didn’t have to worry about being sent to a country they never visited or were connected to felt different?

Again, one party wants to protect my LGBTQ friends, wants health care for all, wants to raise taxes on the wealthy to protect and improve social programs, wants to create free education and remove the debt of college from those who have it, and one party doesn’t.Cry that I’m a Zionist, but if all other things are the same, I know which party I support. I also find it hilarious that I’ve proven you factually wrong many times and you make the claim I will look foolish and that I have made no defense.

They passed the mother fucking affordable care act. Do you not understand how huge of an undertaking that was? They also passed DREAM and limited how credit card companies can charge you. And those are the big ones. Would you call that no action?

You clearly lack any understanding of how the government works beyond what you’d learn in 6th grade civics and have no memory of the 2009 Congress yet try to speak authoritively about it. By comment was definitely rude, and that was intended. But it was not ridiculous, it was a statement of fact.

Bro. Can you read. Do I need to turn it into a picture for you? There are procedural rules in this case the filibuster. If you do not have 60 votes to override the filibuster, it does not pass because all an opposing senator has to do is say Filibuster and you’re hit. There are things that can force debate, but you are basically done. That rule change would require the support of Manchin and Sinema, which would not have happened, so democrats were stopped. And they did take the steps for the two years which is why we have the Affordable Care Act so things like pre existing conditions are covered. Maybe you should do some more reading on how our government works before you try to talk with the grownups

And didn’t have enough support to push anything through to the floor that wasn’t budgetary or generally popular because of senate rules that would require 60 senators when we had 50, or the override of that rule which a couple senators (Manchin and Sinema,one who recently moved independent) opposed so it wouldn’t happen anyway. There are an incredibly small number of republican members of Congress who would support universal health care, but I imagine the vast majority of democrats would. The problem is gerrymandering in the house and the fact that backwoods states like Montana and North Dakota wield as much power in the Senate as places like California.

Democrats want universal healh care, child care, to cancel student loan debt, don’t want to eliminate the LGBTQ community among other things, and are constantly stymied by the right wing. Then dumbfucks go ‘hurr duur, both parties are the same, don’t vote’ and the same shit happens. The last time Dems ran the show we got the ACA and people who never had a shot at insurance got it, medical bankruptcies went down etc. It was a big win, and you forget that. Fuck your all sides are the same.

And there’s coup de grace of the iamverysmart, some sort of dismissive insult calling the person immature/child/buddy.

Do they have /c/iamverysmart here?
