“Nurse, can you bring me the big needles?”

This sounds like one of his more coherent speeches.

Oh no, now where are republicans going to get their news from?

Does your uncle have room for one more? I’ve been feeling very uneasy about things too. I really don’t know what I’m going to do yet if Trump wins, but even if he doesn’t by some miracle, I feel like we’ll just be in the same situation again in 2028, 2032, etc. I feel like the democrats are not effective at fixing things and the republicans have gotten very effective at breaking them. I don’t think it’s going to be civil war time if he wins, but I do think he’s going to really mess things up for everyone, especially those in blue states again and it’s going to be even more difficult to fix. I’m pretty fortunate to be where I am now in my life and I don’t think I can just uproot everything and move to another country. I also wouldn’t even know where to move other than maybe Canada, but I kinda also don’t want any country that elects Trump as a king to be my next-door neighbor either. I think I just have to keep my head down, keep going and hope things get better then keep voting to try to change things and hope enough people feel the same, but I’m really feeling like they don’t.

If Biden wins this year, I’m pretty sure trump is both stupid and stubborn enough to run again in 2028 if he’s still alive, and I’m pretty sure the republicans are both stupid and stubborn enough to nominate him again.

Their target audience also doesn’t care about facts so they never bother to check for themselves.

I agree and I also wouldn’t mind so much if the ads were in proportion to the length of the video and at natural breaks. I don’t want to watch a 30 second ad to see a 15 second video.

“Should we get our emergency brake fixed or use that money to try to fill in the remaining white space on this eyesore with more trump crap?”

Excellent

Grouping a whole people into one ideology is pretty bigoted if you ask me.

I think we’re doomed to have it shoved down our throats way more frequently than that with their recent freak outs.

All of them trolling too. I definitely wouldn’t talk to this person.

Someone with that many bumper stickers is always going to be the latter.

They didn’t train me to be a cashier, so how am I understand the nuances of the grocery industry when they’re asking me to do their job?

The company is using you to ring this stuff up so they don’t have to pay an employee to do it, so I’d just consider the difference in price to be my wages for the work they’re having me do.

I could have told them this was a dumb idea from the start; creating something that doesn’t fill a need, is just another device to carry around and could just be an app on a phone that we already carry around, just to cram it down people’s throats “because AI,” is probably not a good business plan.

Isn’t that what they say now?

If words flash in front of my face, I end up reading them

It never works like that for me; if the subtitles are on, I can’t distract myself from them whatever I do and end up reading every sentence.

I totally agree. The subtitles are so obtrusive that I’m unwillingly forced to look at them and it distracts from the video. They also completely ruin comedic timing. My wife, however, needs the subtitles on, so I live in a subtitle household now.
I’ve never had a problem generally understanding the dialog even with the terrible sound mixing, but the subtitles have ruined a bunch of jokes and completely block things I need to see on the screen very frequently.
