fiber or not that sounds like a 'noise' issue. As a prior house technician (the guys that come for your trouble call appointments) in my area at least it's because there is indeed bad infrastructure IE breaks in the line that the coms company really needs to send a whole team of maintenance/ construction to repair but they don't wanna.. All we can do is repair and replace all the house lines and a lot of the times I came across that issue multiple of us house guys had been out to the point we were replacing each others shit that we could tell was new and not the problem. also edit: we have to take pictures and submit it through a work app if we encounter noise or basically interference to those not in the field, and I mean literally by the time we replace all the immediate infastructure to your house and you're still having issues we can't really do shit at that point it's maintenance and construction for the company that has to trace out a bad node or whatever to fix it... but they never seemed to want to do it or it took forever. That would lead to customers calling us out again and it effecting our metrics when we literally couldn't fix anything else so ya fuck that job. There. Have another wall of text.

I'll trade you and we can switch winters... You can probably get away with wearing shorts on a good mid December day. Hmm? Hmmmm? Please say yes.

I watched this earlier... It does about the best job you can do of explaining the wartime powers act, and all the arguments both for and against POTUS being able to do what he did with Iran. The biggest bullet point I can take from it is that...MIGA. *has to face palm* is a sentiment that can and probably should bite POTUS in the ass in seeking to use the WPA and other pre-established legislation other presidents used to do things like your air strikes, bombings etc.

Those are the odds lol. At least RFK is too stupid not to be completely transparent. The only danger he poses comes from the fact that there are millions of people in the country stupid enough to latch on to his antivax rhetoric or at least parrot it enough to effect our health readiness as a nation. We have to maintain enough people willing and able to get vaccinated to achieve the "herd immunity" effect after all. We all know POTUS just wants him around as a lap dog and yes man since Fauci was such a big thorn in his side though. Trump only wants him there because he's too ignorant to contest any baseless pseudoscience he might pull out of his ass on a whim, but at the rate RFK is going it's only a matter of time before he's the center of a spectacle so embarrassing not even MAGAts want him shitting the bed.

Another kindred soul caught in the tangled webs we weave. Stay strong Lil Mayo.

I don't think any lexicon has need for a word like "heatwave" anymore since the word "summer" is pretty much synonymous. Especially when you live in hell...or Texas. Summer lasts until winter begins.. This season has been uncharacteristically wet, and I was initially excited about that because here summer precipitation usually comes in the form of severe thunderstorms that accompany cold fronts that feel orgasmic. These storms have sucked though they're just dropping buckets of rain leaving us with swamp ass and boiling humidity... BUT....On a positive note it's always the season to play this banger.

If you don't want your yard I'll take it.

How the fuck you remember your first razor? You shave once a decade or was the first time just that momentous..

Well shit... ruined this post I made at op. Hates Miracle Whip, but bathes in mustard. This dude even sent in fan mail requesting the jackass dudes to play with mustard which inevitably led to Rake Yon acquiring his mustard phobia.

He did say 'mild' so idk.. Kind of curious myself as to what constitutes a 'mild' terroristic act, but whatevs

I remember Animal Farm being read in 5th grade. Not sure they even had "advanced" classes when I was in 5th grade, but it was revisited in high school classes. Shit I still have a copy sitting somewhere I think because I actually liked that one. Probably still have 'catcher in the rye' too if I haven't burned it yet. It's like I said earlier. Online I've been in several literary discussions where that one is pretty much love/hate because the 1st person Holden Caulfield bullshit. Being stoned listening too an elderly AP English teacher, or even classmates re-read anecdotes from the life of what a 1950's era edge lord perceived to be a teenage/developing mind still makes me cringe to this day though. TLDR: I'm in the hate camp most likely because I wasn't given the chance to be as much of a spoiled ass brat as Holden Caulfield growing up I guess idk.

I've read it twice, once for AP high school English and again for creative writing in college. I'm pretty sure I've even had this whole debate online before here, and other places. The book is less book than it is...wannabe teenage angst because AGAIN when it was originally written no one had really done that before.... So the same shit I'm complaining about made it popular with 1950's book club people, and shot it's ratings through the roof. 1950's BOOK CLUB PEOPLE.

was kind of waiting for that, but no that's how everyone I've actually come in contact with physically across the states would describe that read at least. It was something when it was written in the 50's, but mainly because the boomer effect, and that's only made sadder if it's the only standing set of qualities people can use to reinforce their feeling it's a good read....The book is definitely not timeless in any regard imo. Sorry.

I've been seeing this floating around various social media platforms, and it had me thinking "What again?" Nope that shit is clickbait lol. I think it has happened more than once in the last few years though. Once in 2016 and once in 2018. https://www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-news/was-donald-trumps-hollywood-star-vandalized-recently-fact-checking-viral-claims-article-119361540

Had to google that to even remember he's the guy in The Catcher in the Rye. Thanks for bringing back memories of being forced to listen to people read that god awful book, and me attempting to read it on my own for class but not even being able to make it through a whole chapter because it's sad piece of sloppy repressed memories of the author. edit: I sometimes forget just how polarizing of a novel it's supposed to be, and I've only read it for high school, and then later creative writing classes college level. I've never not hated it though it's almost like... If you were going to make Hayden Caulfield so unlikeable, and like a symbol of innocence or protecting it at least do it from the third person so we don't have to listen to him rambling.. The plot is lacking you have little to no character progression.. You def either love or hate that book and I'm in the hate camp. Fuck Hayden Caulfield I'm fucking triggered.
