I saw my retired parents waste away in front of the TV every day. As mentioned before … the best job is the one that you don’t need. So besides enjoying my part time “get out of the house” job there are other benefits. I save money and stay healthy by only drinking on Friday and Saturday. These of course are not my work days. I also don’t go out for meals during the week. I have retired neighbors that seem to spend 5 or 6 days a week out for lunch or dinner and boozing everyday. That would never work for me

Retirement sounds great till you try it. The expression is “even your garage can’t get any cleaner”. This refers to the boredom retirement can be for some. The solution that I found was a part time job, not for the money, but doing something I enjoyed. You no longer have the pressure of a “real” job. The best job that you will ever have is the job that you really don’t need.

A couple sitting at a table where the seats were a bench and not chairs. Even though they were trying to be discreet, it became obvious at one point that he was rubbing her crotch and she his. I don’t think they ever realized that some people in the restaurant noticed it

excellent list. Not on the list but really enjoyed was a movie with Kurt Russel “Touchback”. But more time travel vs time loop

I understand their intent which I disagree with…but always wonder who is actually making the decisions over there. Seem like much more Admins doing post locking and removal vs. the group mods

Yeah I have live YouTube TV and they no longer offer the MLB channel. I had got comfortable with You Tube in general because for years I have been watching the regular YouTube and I am paying for Premium, so there are no commercials. The only ads that you have to fast forward through are the ones embedded in the videos by the creators. The billing for both regular YouTube Premium and their TV product is smooth and hassle free. I have never sampled Plex or Hulu and just was wondering how they compare with the YouTube TV product. Regular Youtube has an MLB channel that I am subscribed to. They have game highlights.

I’m coming from Comcast cable. I choose YouTube TV and miss the MLB channel. Not the full slate of games. Just the MLB channel. Does Hulu have it?

I will agree with your “moving the goal posts” comment. But my point is still that we all lived through a media barrage with everything positive about the vax. Even after they had to retract what they initially told us about it protecting you and others. Yet there has been no significant reporting on adverse effects. And I should mention I got the vax early on with zero side effects.

Can you site one broadcast or cable news program (other than Fox) that has ever mentioned this issue? Or the NYT or Washington Post?

You are reinforcing my the point that I made. Yes there is a sizeable group of people who are vax hesitant but the majority of the media never presents the occurrences when there is a bad outcome caused by the vax or boosters.

I don’t believe that there are a significant amount of people experiencing severe side effects from vax or booster. But I find it absurd that government and media sources suppress the instances when they do occur. People should make their own risk assessment based on facts and not a false narrative

Before you are administered gas you will be on an IV drip of propofol and midazolam and they will inhibit conscious memory processes

Excellent question. Any time my power goes out I know that i have to unplug my PC to get it to wake up

threads is a great way to ban anyone who doesn’t think just like me. And i know what to think because the mainstream media tells me how to think

It honestly got a bit too addicting so the slower pace here at Lemmy is a welcome change.

THIS is an excellent observation. Reddit became an addiction. I wasted hours a day there. I like it here. Less drama and I spend far less time with it.

Perfectly stated. There is a big difference between shaming someone that is significantly overweight vs. coming out and saying that it doesn’t affect your health. The few people I know that are in the obese category will outright tell you that they don’t want to be overweight. But they struggle with it just like someone sincerely wanting to stop smoking.

If I wanted to protest a police action that I thought was unjust I would do it peacefully so that others would consider my view and give it some thought. If I wanted to be sure to turn many off to my view I would engage in the destruction of property.
