I wonder if I get one for my front verandah, the postie will actually deliver the parcel instead of pretending to, and then taking it to the PO

Yeah, a family member of mine was in a cult lead by a person who had everyone believing they were a reincarnated sun god.. and there were invisible planets travelling through the solar system on a collision course with earth, and aliens.. aliens living under the ocean near Japan, and they were thinking of taking over the world in response to Fukushima.. I lost touch with her when she was grabbing shovels and heading to the hills to live in a region that had been calculated as ‘too far for the non-believers to make it following a tsunami’..

When everyone else is the asshole, maybe you’re the asshole

It is funny how fascinated we have become with politics while it is this stupid theatre. I would prefer have the Government do a good job so I don’t need to think about them at all

Like all the people who didn’t need an iPhone 16 Pro Max because they already had an iPhone 15 Pro Max? People out there are buying millions dollar properties to stay empty. Sony wouldn’t have even created it unless there was a market for it

I get the feeling she would have won against any other candidate.. it is just the people with weird admiration for Trump

Tbh, most people would drop more than the price difference on clothes that they will never wear. Just look at the new car market. Hardly anyone buys the cheap model, so for a couple of hundred bucks, I don’t think anyone really cares about this. If they have the disposable income, they will probably just buy the pro because of the perception that they are buying the best.

For me it was Scomo by a country mile. Abbott had some peculiar views, but he didn’t seem as totally incompetent.

Deep House

iPhone unlocked with Facebook opened in the safari browser (no meta apps installed, and the only two apps approved to user the microphone in the security settings are Teams and my Banking app for voice security prompt). We were watching Fast and the Furious on the TV in the loungeroom and we were noticing videos pop up on Facebook on the phone for Honda Civics, then Toyota Supras etc. We then started joking talking about KFC and beer as a test, and within 10 minutes we successfully started seeing ads for Beer, KFC. We then tried another when we started talking about Bryan Adams tickets, and sure enough, we got an ad to buy tickets to Bryan Adams. It would take about 10mins from talking about a topic to things about that topic to start appearing in the feed

I use Facebook for some hobby groups, and I only use Safari to view it.. the other day my daughter and I were watching The Fast and the Furious movie and I started getting my feed full of all the cars from the movie.. so we did some experiments saying words like KFC and beer while the screen was opened, and we started getting beer and KFC ads in the feed.. i dont know if the app makes it worse, but it was certainly a bit of an eye opener

Knight Rider, The A-Team, MacGyver

Honorable mentions to Dukes of Hazzard, The Fall Guy, Magnum, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, TJ Hooker, Manimal, Automan etc

What a time to be a kid

As a non-American looking in, this quote seems to fit .. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." - George Carlin

Sounds like the screen is cracked. They are so brittle
