"It’s easier to talk here than it is in America,"

Yeah, as long as you don't say anything about the imprisonments and murders without fair trial, religious intolerance, or make fun of the kings Mu'umu'u.

But clam jamming is what you wanted to do, so he was helping,lol.

Or his views on seemingly eating toe nails right off of his feet in public.

Are mosquitoes a concern in that part of the world? If so and they don't have some nets hiding somewhere you are gonna have a bad time.

I doubt he will since there is a list of things you can't talk about, including the royal family. And discarding that in a place like that is talking your own life in your hands.

The one that is disappointing to me out of the article is Bill Burr. I've listened to a lot of his stand up and his podcast off and on for years, frequently agreeing with the thrust of whatever point he was trying to make. I had hoped he was a better person than to put that reputation he seemed to care about on the line for a fat pay day.

I heard something recently that was along the lines of "who you really are, what you really value, and what you really stand for is defined by the things you are willing to give up to uphold those values and beliefs".

I guess unfortunately Bill is like Chappelle has mostly been reveled to be in the last few years. Willing to agree to throw his supposed values in the trash if the payday is good enough. Just another mouthpiece for hire that I used to think was actually a pretty cool and principled dude back in the day.

Hell, I remember when Chappelle walked out on his show, while I missed that show I respected him for being willing to go that far for something he felt strongly about.

Sue for hurting his fragile fefe's.

Idiots. That's some DPRK state media level dystopia. But then again, it is Fox.

Pretty sure technically it was never a democracy in the textbook definition meaning. It is/was a republic.

G or D for me.

I don't want to see Kimmel come back as if nothing happened. I want to see him find a new platform and farm the stupidity of Disney, Sinclair, etc for gold for the next few months. What Disney and co. did was not some stupid PR misstep, they let the mask slip on how easily they would fall in line behind a political pay master to keep him happy and in the process effectively violate the 1st amendment by giving the government a method of silencing speech. Which should be the kind of thing that burns the whole corporation to the ground and gets those in charge ostracized from polite society.

There should be no coming back for them from this.

My solution is perhaps more convoluted than most. But I got tired of trying to cherry pick the best printer from the limited selection and built a Windows 11 VM in Virt-Manager and passed through the USB port my printer is plugged into. Now I can buy whatever printer I want/need without worry of compatibility.

 

Sad to read, but not at all surprising. I remember how much damage control Kevin was doing back when the sale to Branch happened.

I hope he has learned something about trusting the word and contracts from entities like Branch from the whole thing.

 

I wonder if there is something subpar about whoever Google is getting the batteries from for the A series phones.

 

If its not more blatant ways to display ads or AI Google isn't working on anything it would seem.

 

As if those AI overviews weren't already useless enough.

 

It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

 

Jesus, that is a gross way to inject advertising into turn-by-turn navigation.
