Depends on if you care about making set playlists. That's the feature that generally costs more - Pandora is like $5 a month without that option, and $11 with it. I only listen in the car and don't care about picking exactly what songs are on my stations, so I have the cheaper one, but for other people, that wouldn't cut it.

It's part of the media wing of a cult. Shen Yun is another part of it that a lot of people are familiar with - they perform all over the place doing "ancient Chinese dance" (which was invented in the 1950s). Epoch Times is the "news" piece. It's all propaganda.

Yeah, like that sloppy fuck would even lift a finger, let alone a weight. He thinks humans have finite energy, too, so I'm sure he wouldn't waste any of it just so Jesse Watters can jerk off a little more.

One would assume all the laws against theft. Because that's what it would be.

The government should've bailed regular people out, not the banks.

Cheese with both hot sauce and ranch, or black olive and pineapple. It's great because no one ever wants to steal any of my pizza.

It's me, I'm the perv.

Yeah but we can do that without the distraction of a movie or show on in the background. Plus, a lot of people really, really want you to love the thing as much as they do, so if you're not into it, they take it kind of personally, and I'm rarely into it. I don't show people movies I really love anymore (unsolicited) after realizing that I'd spend the whole time worrying about what they think of it instead of just enjoying it.

The thing is, the reason I haven't seen anything is because I'm not interested and don't have enough of an attention span to sit through stuff I'm not super into, so any time someone I've dated has been like, "we can watch so many things together!" my response is no thank you.

Oh yeah dementia is a hard no for me. My dad had glioblastoma and it was like cancer and dementia combined. Watching him made me even more positive that I'd rather jump off a cliff than live like that. Every day was confusing and scary and he became really volatile, but he turned down assisted suicide when he was still lucid, so there was nothing we could do. If I'm ever in that position, give me the drugs, I'm done.

I see that going so, so poorly for him. He'll pretty much have to disable comments, but I feel like he'd hate that because he loves attention.

Nah, I've only worked at the city/state/county levels, never federal. I think they've all been in the neighborhood of 8-10% from both me and my employer, it's just that I've made shit money for most of my career because I wanted to help people and those jobs pay like crap. I also lost about 50k the last time the market went in the shitter and I've spent the last few years just making up for that.
