Exactly. How are exactly actors support to "share in failure" as their nonsense quote suggests?

I'd complain, except it hasn't gone up in a decade.

Prices needs to go up a little bit every year to reflect CPI and inflation.

Raised devout Mormon/LDS. 9/11 reaffirmed political conservativism. Church assigned me to be a missionary (age 19-21) in Portland, Oregon where I found liberals treated me with better respect than conservative christinans.

In 2006, my house rep said something royally stupid, so I voted for his Democratic rival. And like Pringles, once you pop you can't stop.

Today I'm a fiery but loyal moderate democrat.

It's weird to think that, seven years later, I couldn't go back to church -- as the church I knew (and left) is gone.

Stories from TBMs make it sound like COVID and two-hour church have really emaciated turnout.

I agree. There should be some sort of a la carte service where you can pay a couple of bucks and use it for like a day.

Agreed. Voted reliabily Democratic since 2013. And frequently democratic since 2008. I even contribute to Democratic candidates.

I used to be a solid Republican. I haven't changed. It's the freaking boomers who have collectively lost their minds and gone feral.

The right wing backlash recently is erasing a decade of progress.

I want to be a nonpartisan "middle" person. But damn it if they don't keep forcing me to vote Democratic.

Correct. The tie is designed to cover the buttons of the shirt.

Long loans made sense to solve affordability when interest was 0-3‰ prime.

It makes affordability WORSE at 7+ percent prime, because the longer term exaggerates the interest rate more. That's why legacy OEMs are offering 5% on 36 month loans.

When interest rates spike, the only solution is to offer a cheaper product (principle). Lengthening the term doesn't work.

The guy is straight up insane. He's obsessed with the letter X.

But I don't care. X is the symbol of death eyes on a smiley. Guess the bird is dead.

I know this is a piracy community, but honestly I don't mind paying for newspapers.com. I use it a lot just to read up on old articles and stuff and they seem to be doing a pretty good job adding new newspapers to the archive all the time.

For me piracy is great when the product is just outright overpriced because some corporate tools in New York or Los Gatos are trying to make their VC people happy.

Doesn't it literally mean "whore-son" (huren-sohn)?

My German is poor.
