Oh god, at least that dude who said his emotional attachment to Aerith dying was better than any human relationship didn't bitch about other people making fan fiction porn about her.

The only channel I truly cannot stand ads on is the Paramount Network. Not only do they seem to play double the amount of ads of other networks, they only play ads for their own shows. And since they have so few shows overall, you will see the same ads over and over and over ad nauseum.

If they have a decent movie on, you're going to see the same ad 20 times for Bar Rescue, some Tattoo show, and... no, that's pretty much it.

Except golf.

Golf can be great to watch on TV, you just gotta have the right setup.

It's has to be warm summer day, window open with gentle breezes coming in. You're laying back on the couch, in the distance you hear the pleasant hum of a plane flying by. Some chilled Arnie Palmies ready to go, you listen to the hushed commentary of the rapt commentators. Occasionally you drift in and out of a gentle cat-nap, awakening to see Rory McElroy sink a 30 foot putt at TPC Sawgrass, or Tiger crashing a Cessna into a 7-11. Then just enjoy some great golf shots, or guys completely flubbing a putt. If you wanna green out the experience, it can only add to the effect.

TV golf is about maximum chill.

If you don't want to pay the union, just don't join? :confused:

Once a union is in place, the jobs become "union jobs", and enrollment is mandatory as a condition of continued employment.

Not in right-to-work states, which Georgia is. You can't have a closed shop in right-to-work jurisdictions. Right-to-work is dumb and bad, but it is a fact in lots of places currently.

I would also love to see an actual example of what you're describing. "Yes, you can choose to join the union, pay dues, and get better pay and benefits, or you can opt out and make half as much with no benefits and get ritually get pounded in the rear end by management on a weekly basis as a vent for their hate of employees."

What the gently caress? :confused:

That's why unions are large organisations representing the employees of many businesses. They don't need everyone sign up so long as enough people do across an entire industry.

I mean, I live in a semi-civilized country where unions are allowed to exist, so when a union is in place enrollment is almost universally mandatory.

I say almost, as some places allow you to opt out of joining the union, but you STILL have to pay union dues to work. Not sure if anyone in history has yet been dumb enough to take that option. Get none of the benefits, but all of the fees. Sign me up!

Single-spacing, double spacing?

Why would you bother...... with either......... when you can just put...... a long string of ellipses....... between a never ending stream....... of consciousness word vomit that..... drifts from topic to topic....... whether you're talking about...... spacing or did you hear that uncle john...... fell down last week and punctured....... his scrotum it was terrible but...... at least Donna was able to get him some...... of her ambrosia salad which made him feel better....... so that's why spacing doesn't matter...... are you coming for dinner next week,,,,,,,, ?

Oh my god how did we get talking about how the space bar works. The original post was about DOUBLE LINE SPACING, i.e. what I am doing in this post, hitting return twice between lines, not double spaces after a period

And come on we have lived with the web for 25 years, surely by now we understand that HTML collapses all spaces into a single space

Double line spacing?! Well now you're just a pervert.

My favorite were random yahoo answers questions where the Top Rated Answer would have like 1 vote and be something like "i dunno lol"

This is like half the answers about a product on Amazon. There's a certain segment of people that get those emails from Amazon when another user has asked a question about something they bought. Even if they don't have an answer, I'm assuming they still think they're required to provide an answer, so you get responses like "I don't know what you're talking about, but I lost this item a while ago so I don't know", or "I don't know why you'd want to do that with this item. Do you know what you're talking about? Plus mine was blue so it probably works different, stop asking me."

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, hungry and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious recipe of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at the microwave door.
“’Tis some lobster,” I muttered, “tapping at the microwave door—
Only this and nothing moKERSPLOOOOODDDDDDEEEE!!!!”

The chief problem with cancel culture is that its efficacy tops out at people who are middle-high on the social totem pole. An actor or a comedian can get cancelled, so can a lawyer or accountant. It's not possible, alas, to cancel Liz Uihlein or Fred Koch or the Waltons.

Someone summed it up well by saying you can only be canceled if "you care". People who are genuinely cancelled and care about it usually acknowledge the cancelling, and then retreat from the public eye.

On the flipside, someone who responds to a cancelling with "gently caress y'all!", essentially can't be cancelled. They'll just keep motoring along with their lovely actions and opinions. They may lose fans or whatever, but they gain just as main new fans who like the toxic poo poo.
