Lemme guess...she forgot to set the thing to vibrate.

The year is 1972. The RAND corporation proposes building a cross-country networks of maglev trains in vacuum sealed tunnels to carry passengers and freight at 14,000 mph kilometers beneath the surface of the Earth.

We used to dream.

This sounds like an improv assignment for a theater course.

He cries like a pussy. WTF? He's apparently male, why not get angry instead? I agree it's probably staged.

I agree it's probably staged.

Had my first taste of cable and regular TV for the first time in years. Insomniac and on a cruise with no internet, so watched the in room TV.

Holy fuck. I watched a couple news stations, the two being MSNBC and FOX (no choices really). I don't know how MSNBC makes money. EVERY single ad spot was for their other shows. FOX is apparently a big pharma network at this point, but I suppose they make money as sick (pun intended) as it is.

Back to the quoted comment, everything is staged and it's as obvious as can be. I've just been ignoring it for years and had my first relapse not under my control of watching TV. Cut the cable if you haven't. Saves money, but more importantly brainwashing. It's bad.

Did that over 10 years ago. Now it's mostly catalogue movies (older than 10 or 20 years) unless something truly exceptional comes along; e.g. Apollo 11. Jaw dropping, and it's a fucking documentary.

With all the @richwicks bashing recently, I'll say this for him. He decided to stop watching any works of fiction, because he claimed that it conditioned people to perceive fake emotions (like acting) as real, and thus made it easier for psychos to manipulate them. I forget which post of his that was.

WookieMan says

don't know how MSNBC makes money.

They make money from feed-in tariffs, not ads. Not like network TV at all.

But that is all going away as these 20yr old bundling agreements are coming to an end.

DeportLibtards says

They make money from feed-in tariffs

And likely USAID subsidies.

Where would Silicon Valley be if modern noncompete agreements were in place back in the 1950's?

Answer: Silicon Valley would never have existed.

I'm glad I lived to see Trump in the White House for a second term, after winning his third presidential election.

Democrats committed political suicide.

How did we think it would turn out? What did we think that filling their heads with Critical Race and Gender Theory would do to their perceptions of themselves and their country? They’ve been raised to be intolerant, judgmental, and totalitarian in their attitudes toward anyone who isn’t fully on board with their fundamentalism.

The Democrats will realize all too late what they helped build. They should have realized it sooner. They were only watching Trump and it’s cost them everything, even their own survival.

They’ll have no choice but to accept the truth — that they’ve helped build an army they can’t control.

Oh this is going to be a Full Metal Schadenfruede Blow Job for the rest of us to watch!

We are talking another Kobayashi Maru fuck up for the Dems.
