Here in Ohio you can go from Dayton to Marion in four hours but it’s a commitment

The same people I know who fall for bullshit on Fox fall for bullshit on Joe Rogan. They’ll complain about “THE MEDIA” and tells you all about their "research "

One way to get the hair off of furniture is to use duct tape. Make a band to fit around your fingers with the sticky side out. Your hand is now a hair magnet. I saw auto retailers do this and used it to clean up a rental car after driving around with my buddy’s giant white husky. It went quick and got it all up

Godspeed!

You didn’t specify your reasoning for getting away from smartphones. Cost or to escape the trappings? Other? I was thinking you could hang on to your smartphone and just delete the nonessential stuff.

Rarely and I live in red state Ohio. Yard signs and flags are all over the place

What did I just read?

Consolation prize: the Gene Wilder documentary on Netflix is pretty good if you haven’t already seen it

Yeah I’ll give em $20 some years and never got hit with emails. EDIT: just checked i have 2 solicitation in my inbox this year

What do you think subsidies are?

My state will subsidize child care for parents under a certain income. Nobody is saying anyone will get in trouble for babysitting family members. You could simply Google it and save yourself some typing and a whole lot of embarrassment

Try googling it. It my state day cares must be registered and it looks like there’s lots of regulations. If there is any government funding you can bet your britches there are inspections.

I haven’t known anyone to do this but I always thought managing social media accounts for small businesses would be a good side hustle. A steakhouse restaurant nearby went out of business in a year. They spent a ton of money on remodeling and a billboard with a logo but weren’t even listed on Google Maps. I’ll wager some businesses would be willing to barter in order to keep things simple

Getting paid for it crosses a threshold I’ll bet

I find with stuff like this it’s important to understand the context of when it first came out. Had a neighbor say he didn’t get the appeal of the Ramones because a lot of bands sound similar. I told him when the Ramones came out NOBODY sounded like that. Another is David Letterman. By the time he retired he was nothing special but when he first started it was groundbreaking.

Most of the time just the headline. If it’s obviously opinion I’ll often skip. If the headline is a question I’ll usually skip. If it’s an obviously horrific story I’ll skip. If it’s something that is relevant or useful I’ll read. You are what you eat. That applies to your eyes and ears as well as your mouth

That I never watched the final Star Wars movie. I was 10 years old in 1977 when the original came out

I quit playing video games in my mid 30’s. Pretty much went cold turkey. Why would you want to start now? Plenty of healthier things to do with your time

Hopefully they will hire an Alex Jones impersonator just to see how long they can fool the morons that have been listening to him

“for your kids sake” is the only part that should be relevant. This is for you to decide. If the answer is no that’s ok but you owe him an explanation. If the answer is yes you have it in you to make everyone else uncomfortable

If you are still on X yet couldn’t bring yourself to vote for Kamala because of Palestine then WTF?
