TV

Speaking of TV.

I am at my daughter's for Christmas. Been up most of the night with my infant grandson. We have Snowpiercer on now, which is just boring enough to have made us both sleepy.

So I have had the displeasure of watching real TV for the last several hours. I don't have TV at home. This shit has gotten really really bad. Commercials have always been junk, but I can appreciate a good sales pitch. I have been indundated with the most base propagandistic trash all night and all morning. Half of the commercials are pushing debauchery and hedonism. The rest are superliminal shit that don't even try.

It is awful.

The legit Q tho: do you all put on a Christmas Story all day on Christmas day? Best tradition.

Nice as fuck. I watched Die Hard 2 this past week. Had been awhile but I figured, Christmas. Forgot how bad ass it was even tho people say it's not as good as the others.

The whole Minnesota thing is truly wild. Imagine living in a harris/walz America. Truly scary.

This is what Nick wanted us to vote for because accelerationism/being a fed/being butt hurt by Trump rejecting him

I legit can't understand how people can sit there and watch TV. There's more commercials then show, let alone the fact the shows there are aren't worth watching. It's honestly insufferable and costs a retarded amount to pay for.

If I want to watch something I'll just buy the movie or show on dvd/blu-ray. Pretty much never sit to watch any of it, mostly is just to watch while working out.

USPG, it's time to stop dooming and hear the story of Christmas.

Minor complaint about every Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future video I've ever seen online: you always hear the robot too clearly. In the original TV airings, and even in the Aqua Teen movie, the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future has a robotic, metallic "kick" to his voice that makes him almost incomprehensible without closed captioning. I should know; I spent far too many sleepless nights as a maladjusted minor watching Aqua Teen instead of doing my homework.

It's the same experience as watching Youtube without adblock

Oh I hear you. Totally normally. Like a peacock. Very natural acktually. Very masculine. The masculinest.

JD Vance peacocked your mom.

I couldn't tell you what that's like. I've used adblocking for years, and youtube doesn't cost hundreds a month.

It's fucking unbearable, but hey yeah it's free.

You have to pay to get less adds though if you don't know adblock exists.

JD Vance peacocked your mom.

Oh for sure. He's the manliest peacock. He's OUR peacock. He preens and struts like the most beautiful of birds. That Hindu mascara is just so dreamy. Those eyes are so mesmerizing. He's def going to fix everything THIS TIME FOR REAL CAUSE IT WAS DONNY BEFORE AND BUSH BEFORE THAT AND REGAN BEFORE THAT AND RON PAUL AND MIKE JOHNSON AND AND AND AND AND AND

I work in education, and I see so many boomer teachers pull a video straight up on YouTube on their smart boards (on Edge, of course) and just mentally shut off while three minutes of the most awful, subversive advertisements you could ever imagine play. TV has fully conditioned their brains that "advertisements are always completely acceptable no matter what the circumstance" to such an extent that's it like watching the Eloi blindly march into the Morlock tunnels to get eaten when the siren blares.

 

[Samuel Fuller]

The issue with drone hoards is you are putting a lot of eggs in one basket. What happens if the first wave was not as effective as you thought? Will you be able to bring up follow up waves quickly and effectively abroad, what if the enemy hits a navel convoy and now your supply of new drones is stalled, what's the plan B? Will drones be able to provide support in a dynamic situation like an amphibious landing?

Battleships will stick around because they have a lot more flexibility and independence than drone hoards.

*Drone hordes

If they are being deployed en masse, it is a horde. If a large supply of them was being kept in one massive stockpile, that would be a hoard.

Also, things related to the Navy are Naval. A navel is a belly-button.

Aggressive navel.

I mean I don't think the French are built for democracy

 

[Samuel Fuller]

Nothing will. We will accept our genocide because the alternative is being me to brown "people".

God, there is NOTHING worse than being YOU!

 

[SpergioLeonne]

They allegedly have the Ark of the Covenant so maybe.

You know what’s cool about Jesus?

Not only is Christmas about celebrating his birthday, but also, he didn’t need any fucking arks to be born except arguably Noah’s, though that’s a temporally complicated thing

 

[DumbDude43]

Why do eurocrats keep talking about European digital sovereignty. Europe has not a single social media company.

it's their propaganda spin for their censorship programs

>no no no citizen, we're totally not just trying to control and silence our opponents!
>you see, what we're actually doing is defending europe against american corporate digital imperialism!
