I just rewatched Earth Girls are Easy last week and that’d be on my list.

90 minutes of prime Gina Davis in a bikini doesn’t hurt either.

Why is it ALWAYS the sports companies?

Because that’s the biggest broadcast rights moneymaker. Cable would be full and truly dead without sports.

Public services are also required when providing a service to service level expectations wouldn’t be profitable otherwise. We expect and demand that the post office deliver to every remote outpost in the country for whom there is no alternative, regardless of expense. Those deliveries could be anything, including something like medication. If you privatize it, a private company would immediately and naturally cut loose those unprofitable routes.

So in that way, it is an awful lot like healthcare. If you consider postal service a right, then it’s functionally no different.

Privatization of liquor in Alberta has worked out amazingly well. Booze is cheaper and there’s a liquor store every 100 meters, some open well past midnight. It’s an alcoholic’s dream.

There’s always recycling. Or changing that final character from a 1 to a 2, etc. The human brain just cant handle the complexity otherwise.

“I liiiike Seven of Nine” - creepy gen X white guys who just watch Trek for boobs and lasers.

I feel seen.

Oh please. That doesn’t make the math any more forgivable. Every investor made a choice. The fact that it’s an institutional investor and mutual funds doesn’t sever the provider of the money and their demand for returns from the ethical issues of what the companies are doing.

Don’t fail to hold equity investors like this to account because they’re holding grandma’s retirement hostage. That’s on grandma too.

bison fuckers thank you very much

I’m also self employed. My boss is a slave-driving narcissistic cunt, but that fucker still lets me go golfing whenever I want.

Isn’t Spanish for cable just cable (Cah-blay)? That’s what I’ve seen used in Mexico.

As a Canadian vending machine, the Cheetos removal may well have been political in the first place. I notice just about everything in there is made in Canada, unlike Cheetos.

If I was the vendor, I’d stock the whole thing with Cheetos and then snip the cord myself. Fuck that guy.

As an aside, this appears to be a Canadian vending machine (Miss Vickies, Lays flavours made in Canada, Canadian chocolate bars), so the Cheeto switch may have been political.

So to this guy- Get used to superior Hawkins Cheezies, and elbows up.

The only time I’ve ever seen one in use was a friend that had a shed that was powered with lights etc. He had an external plug box on the shed, and would use one of these to jumper from his extension cord to that external plug. It worked, but I shuddered when I saw it.

A non capitalist option is to simply use the very large amount of resources available to take care of the old folks. It’s not profitable, but that’s not the point.

Oh, the capitalists have very much figured out how to cash in on old folks. It’s incredibly lucrative. I can’t imagine them abandoning that gravy train until they’ve siphoned off all that filthy lucre that’s settled out in the aging class.

That’s what Mexico is for. And the food is better.

You’re right. I mean, the nazis had the Olympics in Berlin in '36 too, what’s the worst that can happen?

I don’t remember inviting you guys.

That’s exactly where the timeline jumped the tracks. if Gore’s election is properly counted, there’s potentially no 9/11, but certainly no Iraq and probably no Afghanistan as we know it. And without Bush and the whiplash against him and those events, there’s no Obama. And without the mouth breather whiplash to Obama, there’s no Trump.

So yeah, I would say that the republicans fucking around in south Florida is what caused the rift.

I love that this guy is in an Ivy League school to meet his ‘co-founder’, when it’s hard to believe that someone that knows nothing and is intellectually incurious could ever found anything of value.

Depends on your definition of ‘war’. They’ve definitely been in rightist America’s ear about abandoning NATO since 2016.
