Sure, but no switches lost power in this outage. And yes the power in my home could be on, but if the phone company itself has no electricity 🙃 then sure.

But generally speaking, that doesn’t happen, and it didn’t happen here. Land lines work without power in nearly all circumstances because the power comes through the land line itself.

But the statement you’re making is a silly one. I could say “your cell phone will never work when all the cell towers are powered down and you don’t have wifi and your phone company has no power either. 😑”

Still I’ve never had a land line not work when the power in large areas around me goes out.

“BUT WHAT IF YOU DON’T PAY YOUR BILL AND YOUR PHONE COMPANY IS PART OF A BUSINESS HOSTILE TAKEOVER AND THEY ABANDON YOU As A CUSTOMER”

uhhh… yeah I guess it won’t work then. Like what are you trying to prove here?

I’m talking pre cell and pre internet domination. My grandma’s house /neighborhood lost power this winter and there was always the reliable old long corded landline that we ordered pizza with as a matter of fact.

On what, exactly? I have personally had the power go out countless times and always the old land line works.

100% of the time your landlines will work in a power outage. Not dependant on ??? Whatever is being suggested 🙄

Landlines 100% work when your power is out.

Ty asking the real questions. I was like uhhhhh…“I do not understand” yep yep yep

Tucker isn’t a journalist, hes a columnist, and he certainly isn’t top 5.

Let’s stop caring for these bags of bones. I wonder how long any of them would last without access to any medical care.

Omg yes

Urgh - MONSTEROUS behavior

Ugliness

Meritocracy is a myth used to control people.

“Starving artist”

I am going to write you a reply “Sometimes I think about narrating my own life” I said to myself as I finished typing.

I believe it can be quantified in some way. I live in a country that has no problem with solitary confinement of minors at an early age for decades at a time.

I think that’s deplorable and monstrous also. But something about government endorsed (don’t tell me the CCP doesn’t know about it) organ theft where they kill the donor and keep them alive through controlled brain damage so they can harvest more organs from them. Something about that seems worse to me than solitary confinement, enough that I changed my behavior.

Yes keep it in context, but whataboutism isn’t an excuse for objectively dehumanizing behavior from anyone.

(Note: I’m aware of companies and name brands that invest in private prisons, I do my best to avoid those brands, really I try to live my life but do what I can within reason)

Transplant tourism in China 🇨🇳

There’s only one reason to make a device to give people an invisible lobotomy with that contraption. Transplant tourism is a real thing, if you need a kidney, they’ll find some poor Chinese citizen who’s broken some menial law or just pull some poor Uyghur, labotomize them, poof there’s your kidney match in short order.

Here’s a video of what these people are doing https://youtu.be/xUiuVjX2ubQ?feature=shared

It changed my life because after seeing this, for all practical purposes, I try my very best to avoid things from China because I don’t want one penny of my money going to support this barbaric inhumanity.

If I see “made in China” I will try my best to find an alternative. For example, I returned to razor mice because they were made in China and got one of the same model instead that was made in Taiwan. It was sort of a luck of the draw, I had to buy two of the same model before I got one from the country that I wanted it from and I returned the one that was made in China. It was about an extra hours worth of annoyance, but it’s important to me to keep doing things like that, because of this video. Fuck the Chinese Communist Party and their treating other human beings like animals.

You know, when Biden took office the capitol building had literally just been attacked by a violent mob who smeared shit on the walls. And we were still in covid-lockdowns, and gas was $4 a gallon, and Ukraine had just started getting attacked.

Idk why Biden gets so much shit, but given where he started, I think we are doing a damn fine job and our inflation numbers are much better than most of the rest of the world.

What’s wrong with the Bug’s Life my daughter still watches that on the regular

Income tax for the highest earners in the USA, as an example, used to be 93% tax

You read that correctly and I believe my number is accurate.

Rich assholes bought PR machines to convince the public that system was unfair to them. So they lowered taxes on the rich. However, that lost tax revenue had to be made up some how. So the poorer pay more So the rich can piss on them from on high - err so the rich can trickle down.

Low taxes for the Uber wealthy is a relatively new thing.
