  • Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-life balance more.

  • Yup! Pull down a torrent of a current season broadcast TV show and check out how long it isn't.

    52 minutes was the length of shows in the 60s and 70's. This is why it's almost impossible to see uncut episodes of the original Star Trek on a cable channel, let alone a broadcast one..

    It was already all but impossible to find when I cut the cord in '99.

    Looking at the commercial TV cable channels - I have the first 8 seasons of The Walking Dead.. they run from 43 to 51 minutes in length (though the longer ones appeared in the 8th season (?) - was that when the channels started overlaying ads during the credit rolls? I know that's a thing.)

  • Well, when you get to the age where mom jeans are what you want, it's a given that you're also at the no fucks given age WRT fashion.

    It's as liberating as hell.

    I blew past mom jeans and went straight to cargo shorts and a strap belt to hold them up (in spite of being fat, I still have no ass), flip flop sandals and leg warmers. And an oxblood woolrich winter flannel shirt.

  • They way their faces are uncovered and the "don't give a shit, I'm just tired.." looks on that guys face.. Is that a NY cop?

  • I cut the cable TV cord in 1999. For whatever movies/TV we've wanted to watch, we've just gone to our public library to get DVDs and later on, streamed stuff.

    uBO in all the browsers as well.

    If you make a concerted effort, you can de-TV the household and it takes little time to find ways pick up on watching the things you like - w/o commercial interruption.. I could not imagine watching an evening of broadcast TV.

    Given that the average show is now 40 minutes long - thats an hour of commercials between the 3 primetime hours of 8 and 11 pm.

    I'm not going to waste an hour every night looking at things I do not want or need in my life.

    Fuck that shit.

  • Damn, that's bad for the snek. Toddlers parasitize sneks when eaten.. Poor snek.

  • If you interacted with a smooth green snake - aka "grass snake" - (they're tiny) and checked out their color in the sun (it's gorgeous) - they'd maybe be less nope ropes and more dinky slinky..

    But yes, the "danger noodles" are the venemous ones..

  • This was me with beer. Gave it up over 15 years ago, as what was making me feel shitty about it was putting out the recycling bin filled with beer bottles and cans.. and realizing just how much money I was spending on something that was doing nothing good for me. Stopped drinking in 2009 and don’t miss it a bit. Saving a lot more money as well..

  • The extremely gullible ARE the joke.

    No one technically DID say anything, because it was a film set prop.

    I'd have a field day with anyone losing their shit over this and thinking it was a real thing, by showing them the film it came from..

  • Important PSA

  • Damn.. I wish I didn't remember my dreams. Usually they involve me trying to clean a house where the rooms constantly change. That, and my car always seems to be turned on it's roof.

    God only knows wht I keep coming back to that weirdness.

    Heaven. Will take all anxiety away.

    Do they give it a sincere "Good day to you!"?

  • Insuranace is a joke

    Jump

  • No, they won't. You'll only get a new car if the vehicle is new (within 5 years and under a certain mileage) and still being paid off, because then the financier/lender is still in the mix. Lenders can and will aim their own lawyers at the insurers.

  • Insuranace is a joke

    Jump

  • This is the way.

    It's hard though, to just get liabilty on a car if you're still making payments on it.

    It's gotta be 100% yours with no payments or liens on it.

    Then you can go for a nice high liability policy. I've always bought older used and just gotten policies to cover OTHER people I may accidentally hit. No collision - If i'm not paying attention and slide off the road into a rock.. that's on me.

    I also would add glass and theft to that liability policy. The glass coverage saved my ass a few years ago when I caught a rock behind (what else?) a dump truck.
