The tech guy didn't do anything because he said that there was nothing he could do since there's not enough history on the new modem. So I have to wait two weeks for whatever the fuck. He did say I wasn't going to get charged for this because he didn't do anything while he was here. In all the years I've been a customer I've never  been charged for a technician so this must be a new thing. At least he was honest in saying that I should switch over to somebody else. 

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.

It was 72 today and drizzly and it was great

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.

Even if this weren't a terrible idea for all those reasons and more.. this regime is evil enough that you just gotta expect some ulterior motive behind everything.

At a minimum, what are the odds he loaded up on Apple stock just before this declaration?

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.

omg...forgot about the great gatsby. i think that was 9th grade. pretty sure. 

OOOH

animal farm-what was one of my favorites. i saw kids in the 6th grade "advanced english' reading it....so i did too. really good, i naturally moved onto 'lord of the flies' 

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.

Im still trying to figure out if P read it or not. At first he says he couldn't finish a chapter, then in the same post says he read it in high School and college. 

I always just chalk it up to being high but this time I'm legit confused🤷🏿‍♂️

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.

So... does that make you 99% P-stoned?

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.

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.

Ugh.... unfortunately i was expecting it because people steal bits and redo them and pretend its their content. I saw a reel just like this a long time ago. Then again about a year later....the fact that this is the third dude I've seen do this bit just makes me kinda annoyed.

And if I'm being honest, the bit is likely older than any of us and this is just a modernized version. 

I'm not trying to be a buzzkill, it's a damn good bit...first time I saw it I was like 😆 but now the reality that all comedy that will ever exists already exists kinda bums me out.

It's almost like this critique wasn't about a TikTok account...For me finding a TikToker worth even a few seconds view is at least 1/100000. There's really nothing but, nothing-burger mongers on there, and if you think I'm being hyperbolic I considered adding 6 zeros, but no...

There are true gems that exist on TikTok I guess. I've found more than a few I guess that made their start at least on TikTok or have good content............

BUT SHEESH..

I had my own kind of driver or drivers by my exiting years though lol... One of them was a rapper as well....Here's the setup: "Hey I'm on  leave and just trying to find a ride to the airport so I can go to my home state.. yellow cab trippin... this other service... trippin.

How much you want?" Him: "Damn man I got my kid right now but I'll do that for like $50.86 and I'll make sure we can turn up..."

Me: "bet!"

Dude was an ex cab driver running his own bus though lol.. Me at the airport...."MAke sure your dad don't open this bottle 'till yall get home."

Dude's kid: "MAn yall stupid as fuck whatever I better not have to drive again."

/Joke Kind of. 

never been in those NY/NJ cabs or where ever those Hollywood style cabs supposed to be from lol.... All my cab drivers back when I was in places that had them had TOO MANY questions, and would never shut up the whole ride. Like even the Indian ones were trying to be political analysts the times..

like what you think about this,  You like the current president? To be fair though I only took cabs when it was pretty clear I was military so I guess they automatically assumed it's cool to politic me. 

That dude probably had the best shit. 

bermuda grass

This does little to clear up the murky waters of "DOGE" however Devin from LE does interview another attorney that is supposedly investigating and filing litigation against the magical department, loose conglomeration of billionaires or whatever you want to call it.

It's too cold to be playing angry birds outside.

Mines Grover Cleveland. I think at least at one point he was the only U.S. president to serve two nonconsecutive terms, but also he was responsible for a lot of the native american protections we see today... In a weird way. The Dawes Act fucked a whole lot of shit up and allowed NA land to be sold. I've been looking into it and I don't know or I'm not completely sure why someone would name their kid Grover Cleveland because that shit was still bad, but my great grandfather was named that, my grandfather was born on the Tahlequah res. though he moved out and became a policeman for a small town in Texas lol. Weird shit. 

Gotta be clear I'm not really a fan of his policies when I say this I just think it's Ironic as hell my GGF was named after the man. Do I want to know why or not lol? He championed himself as a protector of NA's but supposedly did more harm than good idk.  

I Should probably clarify in terms of policy Roosevelt always comes to mind as a favorite, but it's also important for me to note I'm not much for politics or trusting politicians anyway... It doesn't matter who you get it's gonna be a shit show sooner or later.
