@sj_zero Regarding password sharing, I have one theory on why the cracking down on that practice will not work. It often happens for those who just want to watch one movie or one show and then never really use it again. When told that they have to pay for a subscription or not have access for just that one thing at all, they will forego it. Those who just wanted to watch one thing can do without, unlike the serial show and movie watchers.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Does she not clean her home when she is single? No home stays clean without maintenance.

I don't know if these people are simply too delusional to realize that businesses do not just operate on autopilot or if they realize the risks but are too unwilling to do it themselves, but running a business is by no means guaranteeing that you will be wealthy. Often, it can become a liability if the business fails.

But commies are often too busy looking up at the successful businesses to see all those that did not make it. They are blind to the risk necessary for success.

Commies are just like boomer bosses:

"If I don't see it with my own eyes, how do I know you are working?"

The boomer boss uses this as justification against you working a job you could do remotely, but commies simply do not understand there is more to running a restaurant than taking orders and making the food. Same goes with any other business operation, more happens that just what can be immediately and obviously observed.

One thing that bothers me when talking with commies/socialists about business profits is their lack of understanding with the downsides of being the owners. That is, being an owner means that you must deal with the losses as well as the profits. But too many commies seem to think that all businesses are guaranteed to be making money and think that all profits should be evenly distributed among the workers. Never do they consider what happens in their model when the business is not profitable.

@amerika @wishgranter14 They were "free" as every other government program. Paid with tax dollars.

@mutageno What exactly did Biden do to lower gas prices? Nothing I am aware of.

And my recollection is that prices always go down during winter. I forget the exact reason, but I think it has something to so with where the gas comes from on a seasonal basis.

And Democrat shills are going to shill. I am assuming those like her are getting paid to do this, since she seems to always have time to send tweets.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Might be attributing this to my Aserpger's (being hypersensitive and all), but how the hell could he not hear the train coming in from behind him? I would have for sure heard that well before it got close.

Not that I would be stupid enough to be that close to the train tracks.

Might be a tad bit early where I live, but Merry Christmas everyone!

@mutageno Avatar was already a bimbo of a movie (by that I mean beautiful but stupid). There was no more story to tell, as the original story was never that good nor really original. The CGI effects that used to be cutting edge no longer are special, so what does this sequel have going for it exactly? Nothing.

I often find crass humor to be inferior to non-crass humor. Not because of an aversion to "inappropriate" humor, but rather that many who create "adult" jokes rely on shocking the audience with how crude they are rather than any clever wit. The crassness becomes a crutch, and once the shock value wears off, the humor no longer seems as funny.

Not to say that this is the case with all crass humor, but it is more often true than it is not.

I know that my car was technically less capable of driving on icy roads versus an SUV, but still I managed to pass a lot of trucks and SUVs in spite of this fact. Because once you understand that as long as you do not speed up, slow down, turn, or change lanes too fast, you are far less limited than you think when driving on ice. Therefore, me having this knowledge and being able to apply it makes me a better driver than the vast majority of people in icy conditions.

While too many people think they are "above average" when it comes to things like driving a car, I think I can say that I am indeed better than average in at least one way. I know how to drive on icy roads efficiently while being at virtually no risk of an accident. All you need is to understand the concepts of acceleration and leaving a lot of space ahead of you for other drivers, and you can drive a lot faster than you think. Then you can drive in those conditions without a snails pace.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Last I checked "parasites" do not enter a body involuntarily and make an attempt to leave said body 9 months later. If I am playing Russian roulette with a bunch of pills that would get me high knowing 1 out of 10 pills has a tapeworm in it, I am the one at fault for having a tapeworm in me. It is not as if women do not know that sex creates babies. It is the PRIMARY purpose of sex.

"But sex is only for fun!" Yes, that is your biology trying to have babies.

@Omnissiah not saying Republicans are great, but rather that this is exactly what many Europeans deserve when they spout off those sort of statements about how Democrats are soooo much better than Republicans.

@Omnissiah I wonder if this will make all the Eurofaggots reconsider their "Trump man bad" and if their relationship with the US is really better with Democrats in office. News flash: now that Dems are confident that they can just win every national election, they are going to do more of this. Is this what you want? It isn't? Maybe this is their punishment for every time they say they are "embarrassed for us" when we have a non-Democrat in office.

@basedbagel cooking well just takes some practice, and once you understand the basics, you can do quite a bit of new recipes and succeed on the first try.

My dad has a saying, "If you can read, you can cook. And some people can't read but still know how to cook, so you have no excuse."

Those who ever thought it is hard are usually just quitters who don't know how to put in real effort. Did anyone who sees cooking as hard ever strike you as smart and hard working?
