If I get to work and can't get in, or get somebody to let me in, I'm assuming it's a holiday and I'm going back home. If they don't want me to work that day, that's their decision, not mine.
News doesn't have to be fake to be biased. News organizations show their bias by what they choose to report or ignore. They also show their bias by harping on one story that fits their narrative (agenda) day after day after day, while ignoring more important news.
They also make mistakes, ALL of them. I think sometimes they're in too big a rush to get a story out. I've seen stories on all the news networks that had to be retracted because they had only one source and that one source was wrong. Back in the glory days of printed newspapers, nothing went to print without being verified by at least two sources. With news networks going 24/7/365 they don't always wait that long. Verification takes time they don't have.
All of them should make it clear which of their shows are opinion and which are real news. I believe most people can tell the difference, but there are still a lot of stupid people out there. Some of them post here!
I hate it, too. I have super fast internet that can load the whole page in the blink of an eye. Just load the damned page so I can scroll past your ads and headlines and shit, and get to the content I went there to see.
The other pet peeve I have is a menu that drops down whenever the mouse passes over it. If I want to see the drop-down menu, I WILL CLICK ON IT! Stop with the crap already.
You know damned well the government knows it. Google is part of the government . . . you could call it a "non-governmental organization" if you wish. They are joined at the hip (or ass) to the United States government, and it doesn't matter which party is in power. Google gets along with both just fine.
What if everyone you purchased something from had the same viewpoint?
I know I "sold" you that television, but you'll need to upgrade the firmware before it quits working. Buy the upgrade today before the price goes up. Better yet, just pay me a "small monthly fee" and all future upgrades will be free.
Nah, I just like the better economy. My 401K is doing great. My taxes are lower. Inflation is tolerable. What does the other side want to do, go backwards to lower growth, higher unemployment, and higher taxes? No thanks. Had enough of that for a while.
We still have them where I live. I think it's the best way to vote.
Walk in, get verified, mark ballot by filling in the ovals, feed ballot into machine, machine scans and counts, and the paper ballots are there in case you need a recount. Why don't all polling places use this method?
The only thing you need then is voter ID, and we have that here. Every polling place should.
If voters can't trust that the election was fair and honest, there's no reason for anybody to vote.
We really need something like the HIPAA laws for financial portability and privacy.
I don't have a fakebook account, but I'm fairly sure they know a lot about me from all of my dumb friends and family having accounts there. If I ever find out that fakebook has any of my financial information, I'll sue them. In fact, let's make it a class action lawsuit.
We've dumbed-down the last few generations enough. Let's turn that around and get back to actually teaching them the three Rs.
Education isn't rocket surgery. We know how to do it because we've done it before. Discipline, less political correctness, real grading, and no Common Core would be a nice start.
This was just in the news: "Of the more than 1,000 people surveyed in May and June of this year, only one person was able to name all five First Amendment rights. A whopping 40 percent, however, couldn't name any." THAT'S the result of doing it wrong. Fix it before trying something new and unproven.
There's a lot of truth in what you say. I'm 65 and I've been in about three dozen real fights in my life, most of them before I was 25. I've been knocked out a couple of times and also knocked out the other guy a couple of times. I came way too close to killing a guy in college with my bare hands. That was my last fight because I realized the damage I could do to another human being. Nowadays I wouldn't fight if you paid me, and I've learned that revenge is safer and more satisfying.
Remember, when us "old" people were young, there was no protection from bullies. It was either learn to defend yourself or suffer the consequences. You learned fast.
Google Maps shows a town about a mile from where I live. Click on the name and no information about the town shows up. Nobody has ever heard of it and few people live within that area. The area is actually part of the city I live in, so it can't be a city or town of its own. Maybe Google found the name in an old history book where there may have been a community by that name a hundred or more years ago.
That's not the only case. I see it repeated all over the state. These are not "dead towns". I'm familiar with dead towns. I have a book that lists every dead town in the state. They may be old communities that Google "thinks" are towns.
New York is making a mistake. Of all the cable companies, Charter is the least objectionable.
I live in rural Alabama and get 200 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up, and it cost less than 50 bucks a month with no data cap. Yeah, I'm sure I could use it enough that they'd scream bloody murder, but I have yet to reach that point. One of the ladies I talked to at Charter told me that realistically I'd have to go past 200 gigs/mo to attract any negative attention. I can live with that.
Bullshit. There have been jihadists for hundreds of years. It's what Islam has been about since it started. You can fight against it or, as you would have it, you can submit or die. Yes, it's as simple as that. Got it?
Thank you, Jane Q. Public! Finally somebody gets it.
Governments love the idea of a cashless economy because of the control it gives them and the financial industry loves a cashless economy because they make money on every transaction. Go ahead and get your wish of going cashless, but don't say you weren't warned. Big government + big banks = no freedom.
You forgot about Hillary and the DNC and Fusion GPS and the fake dossier. That's pretty much an open and shut case if somebody had the balls to bring it.
It's not the taste of blood that makes steaks and burgers delicious. Seriously, get some cow blood and taste it. It doesn't taste the way you think it does.
You need lean muscle meat combined with fat in the right proportion to have that great flavor.
Check the price on tickets for all of Alabama's home games for the coming season. I could pay for cable for two years for what those tickets cost. With cable I can watch every game, including the post-season.
Of course, games involving lesser teams may not be as expensive to attend. Everybody can't be a Crimson Tide fan.:p

Can anyone type 120+ words per minute on one of these horrid things?

Law enforcement has to monitor the bad guys. He could be part of that effort.
Well, the word "crack" in some parts of this country means "sex" (as a verb), so I assume from the summary that some of that will be going on.

I was thinking about hacking it with an ax, but I don't own an HP printer. Probably never will. Only Samsung (laser) and Canon (inkjet) for me!

It's really hilarious to hear liberal states screaming "Tenth Amendment" to the top of their lungs.
Their usual position is that states' rights don't even exist . . . . but now THEY need them.

Violations of campaign law usually involve paying a fine and they certainly don't rise to impeachment level. Try again.

"7pm in the evening" is redundant. Or is there a 7pm in the morning I don't know about?
