That’s how they get you.

They build your trust with some truth (or at least something believable. Usually half-truths and lies-through-omission nowadays). Add in some fear. Then what you accept as truth changes.

This is why it’s so damn dangerous that Sinclair and Nexstar owns almost every goddamn local news broadcast in the country. They didn’t just buy the stations…they bought the trust that those stations had earned in the local market. That was the real asset.

The CEO of the IRS?

We sure they didn’t hire Vincent Adultman?

Alive and…well…

Is the drug guy really the one who should be talking about firearm safety?

Isn’t that like, a totally different agency? One that also handles some of the drugs that we pretend aren’t drugs? Man America is weird.

So…basically…Tik-Tok “blame it on Mexicans” challenge.

Tik-Tok “blame it on Mexicans” challenge.

I may have misunderstood the assignment, dude. cough.

That Kirk was the only person there that God thought needed to die?

You want a tip, here’s your tip: seize the means of production.

Even Jerry’s dentist ended up becoming a meth kingpin, and his mailman was involved in a corporate espionage scheme that ended up killing a bunch of people.

What’s the worst thing Jason Alexander did? Let his kid sneak an orangutan into a 5-star hotel? Big deal.

Does he have any respect left?

Honestly…like…who still thinks Jerry Seinfeld is a good person? Jerry Springer is a better person.

Who’d think that George would be the most respectable of the group 30 years later.

Nah if that were true, Republican voters wouldn’t hate Bill Gates.

If I had to guess what kind of shot we would make sure schoolchildren got, I would have guessed wrong.

Solid gold, right there.

See, the problem is, free news has to make revenue from somewhere.

If they aren’t taking subscriptions, then they are probably showing ads, so their content is at the mercy of their sponsors.

Even if they are taking subscriptions, they are probably showing ads. That makes it doubly bad.

The alternative is secondary sources (i.e. social media), where theres already a bias by whoever is curating it.

We are amidst an actual information war. Like, there are at least two totally separate realities existing on the US right now. A reliable source of news is important, and capitalism has destroyed all of the old outlets and left us skeptical of the new ones. Good job, everyone.

Nah you’ll need a $300 VCDS (or rent a legit one somewhere like eBay)…or at least a $20 AliExpress clone and a burner laptop/windows VM to plug it into.

More likely, your friendly neighborhood VW enthusiast, or your introverted-but-adderalled-VW-driving-nerd-slash-aliexpress-enthusiest (ahem) will do it for $50 bucks and half a blunt.

Which piece? My heel? Because yeah.

USPS at least has informed delivery tho.

I’ve got a hound-mix that came from Louisiana (I think). His mom was a bloodhound, his dad was a deadbeat who hit it and quit it.

He’s shorthaired, tan, like 75lbs…and he loves to bask.

In the summer he’s got two modes, bask or zoomies. That’s it.

Not for nothing, but head of NASA is probably a better post than DoT for someone with siderodromophobia. NASA doesn’t run very many subways.
