Quote from: JOE on September 16, 2024, 10:56:10 PMI just wish for/ want an unbiased news source favoring  nobody & if theres an editorial then there should be a conservative & liberal pov & other at the same time so the reader can make up their mind.

So basically you don't want to see objective news and analysis; you only want to see all the bifurcated mainstream lies in one place without the bother of being subjected to narratives that don't echo the mainstream lies.

That's merely the illusion of being informed. It's junk food for the intellect; it's comfortingly familiar and constructed to be superficially tasty but leaves you malnourished and ill.

No matter which big corporate "news" provider you choose there's going to be an agenda, and bias, and obfuscation, and carefully curated context. They aren't in the business of informing or educating; their purpose is to keep the allowable parameters of discussion well within the limits preferred by the establishment.

Go independent sources or resign yourself to being conditioned and propagandized.

It is known.

Quote from: Lokmar on September 17, 2024, 02:38:27 AMBjork is a goofy bitch but I'm entertained by these videos:

I still think her early work as part of the band The Sugar Cubes is her best stuff, overall.

Kate Bush
Lisa Gerrard
Elizabeth Fraser
Sinead O'Connor
Aurora
Jesca Hoop
Bjork
Harriet Wheeler
Regina Spektor
Siouxsie Sioux

etc. etc.

...are all better than anything in the "pop" music sphere.

Quote from: Brent on September 15, 2024, 04:09:21 PMThat blimp doesn't like socialists either. At least the real ones.

Liberals don't like conservatives because they're "official" (and traditional) enemies.

Liberals hate leftists because we point out the fact that liberals and conservatives agree on more substantive issues than they disagree; especially war, imperialism, the police state, and austerity.

Liberals might get mad at conservatives but they can also use them to reinforce their own better_than_thou self-image so it's all good. Leftists show them for the hypocrites and liars they are so leftists are entirely insufferable to liberals. We fuck with their presumptions of virtue and superiority.

Can't have that.

Quote from: Sloan on September 15, 2024, 10:53:26 AMNow that breakfall has been neutralized Fat Lily has turned her attention to attacking @Garraty_47 and cookie monster at 6:00am pacific standard time

I wouldn't personally call that an "attack" since I haven't/won't see it.

She's just banging on her keyboard to entertain herself and whoever else reads her crap.

Quote from: Sloan on September 13, 2024, 11:21:35 AMThings are so dead at BF that now Alticus/BF is resurrecting threads that have been dead for 3 years and changing the color of random posters like @Dove @Garraty_47 @Erica Mena and @Lab Flaker to yellow to make it seem like they have donated recently.

I had to go back and look; I hadn't even noticed.

Maybe he changed (expanded) the timeframe for qualifying?
I don't recall exactly when I donated but it's been a while.

There have been a few but like they say you never forget your first...



Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched)

...although Olivia Newton John gave her a run for her money there for a while.

Quote from: Sloan on September 12, 2024, 12:20:35 PMThat earthquake you guys in California experienced might be Fat Lily jumping up and down trying to get @Garraty_47 to take her off his ignore list.

I'm still willing to consider it if anyone there can give a compelling argument for doing so.

Thus far no one has even tried.

Quote from: deport_liberals on September 07, 2024, 02:20:42 AMtPoTF is angry that @Garraty_47 reads the boards over there.

Some people enjoy being angry.
If they don't have an actual reason they'll make one up.

Humans are so weird.

Quote from: Brent on September 06, 2024, 05:22:47 PMTry it.

Never say never.

But... I say "unlikely" all the time. LoL

Quote from: Frood on September 05, 2024, 07:18:21 PMYou are dead to me. You hear? Dead!

Whut *again*?!?
I didn't even know I'd been resurrected. /shrug

I'll uh take your word for it. Heh

I don't mind catsup on a hot dog as long as it also has mustard, chili, onions, and cheese. As for pizza I'm a bit of a minimalist: pepperoni, onions, green peppers, and sometimes mushrooms. Extra cheese is always nice.

Quote from: MrNiceGuy on August 13, 2024, 03:22:06 PMNice vid!  But why, a la Seinfeldian-think, is it called a "day bed"?(Behind you)   Unless you are taking daytime naps in it or work third shift and sleeping during the day because like Christian Bale's Batman... I AM THE NIGHT!

All I know is it's a comfy place to read (and/or nap), hence the way the pillows are piled up.

How they became known as "day beds" I can't say for sure... nobody asked me what I thought about the label before they started using it.
