I found a neat little workaround that I used for a while. I’d load the video up in my browser, turn the phone on an off a couple times, press play on the lock screen, and enjoy it that way.
Edit:
Still works. Just gotta full screen the video and then power off before it kills picture in picture.
And now I’m listening in the background as I type this.
I KNEW the comment would be deleted.
I hate that people do that. I really do.
Own it!
I hate to say it bud, but just like everything else he has ever done, it will be swept under the rug. People will stop worrying about it. He’ll pardon anyone involved if it ever even comes close to coming out.
All this bullshit about, “he said he’d release the Epstein files!!”
That isn’t what I remember.
What I remember is them asking about declassifying this and that, “yes, yeah, absolutely”. When asked about the Epstein files, “yes. Well, maybe not so much that one. I don’t want innocent people caught up in that.”
I’m paraphrasing and doing my best to quote, but every article I read fails to mention that. I can’t even find it when I search for it.
It was clear from before the election that he would keep those covered up.
When he said that, people cared for about ten seconds. When he sent his people to overthrow the government, his base cared for about 10 seconds and then blamed “ainteefuh”.
When he pardoned all of those “ainteefuh”, no one batted an eye. Even people who looked me in the eyes and swore that it mattered. “He’s gonna do it on a case by case basis.” They said. “He won’t just pardon them all, it would send a terrible message.”
One week later, “Well, they were political prisoners. It wasn’t as bad as the news made it look.”
FUCK Donald Trump. He can do anything he wants to do. The rest of us need to just bend over. That is reality now.
I’m sorry.
We’ll see how it goes in 2028. I ain’t got high hopes. I wish I could have high hopes. Reality has shown me that my high hopes are silly.
Sorry to be all doom and gloom. You can tell me all day that the sky is neon pink, but I can see with my own eyes that it’s still blue.
What is this from? Lol
And there it is.
Half agree with you, the other half still believe in a sane world where laws matter and mean something.
Man.
I’ll never own weapons myself. I have one pistol that probably can’t even fire a shot. It’s old, it’s cheap, it’s half broken.
Even if it could, I don’t believe in violence, and even if I did I’m not built for it.
Still, I have studied some history. I know that it is necessary at times. It won’t ever be me though. I couldn’t ever harm another human being.
If that means I lose, fuck it. Life is short anyway.
Good old two disc VCDs. Man I miss those days.
I was happy to get a DVD burner though. My best friend and I had Netflix and we’d rip everything that came in the mail. A huge book full of movies and tv shows.
Good times.
We had no phone, no cable, no internet. Most creative time in my life.
I have somehow avoided Amazon all these years. It’s easy for me, nothing I require is connected to Amazon.
I’m sure there are aspects of the business that I can’t avoid that I don’t even know I’m being dragged into, but I don’t spend my money with them.
Anytime I can’t find something somewhere else, I just move on and forget about it.
The only times I’ve ever been bummed about it is when I’m working on some small project and the parts are half the price on Amazon. Most recently, it was parts for an arcade machine.
If I’m being inconvenienced, I don’t even know it.
I walked away originally when they acquired cdnow.com. I last visited the site when it began redirecting to Amazon.
I rarely see a Tesla where I’m from.
I went to Charlotte to see Modest Mouse in June and I couldn’t even count the Teslas. It really surprised me.
I swear to god everyone driving them appeared to be Indian. Not that it really matters, I just found it interesting.
Well, yeah, you can call it “paused” if you want to. The cruise control definitely stays on though and resumes the set speed when you stop accelerating. It completely disengages when you brake though, so I’ve never thought of it as turning off when I accelerate, only when braking.
I’ve never had one that turns it off if I accelerate.
They’ve all shut off if I tapped the brakes though.
Yeah, I sometimes sit in awe of the work of the milkmen of 3,000 years ago and imagine their lives and the things that must have inspired them to carry that milk.
Which milkman is your favorite?
Man. I remember being a kid and dreaming about a world where puritans got laughed out of existence. Then we had the “woke” era which shocked me sideways. I never dreamed that progressive thinking people would get hung up on regressive shit like policing language, it reminded me of being in church as a kid and hearing about those dreaded, awful, naughty words. But hey, at least their goals were well meaning and driven by empathy and concern for how other people have it in this world.
Who did they piss off though? The fucking puritans. The very people who policed language all of my childhood. It turns out that nothing ever meant anything to them, they just wanted to control people. “Don’t tell me I can’t call a little person a midget! Bad words is fuck and shit! Not me making fun of people!!!” One group said, “if it’s fun it’s bad.” The other group said, “if anyone is hurt by it, it’s bad.”
Now the puritans have gone full fascist because they felt like they were losing some culture war, so they want it all, and they scream loud enough to be heard.
It’s like this tug of war that is just going to end with regular people who don’t raise hell when they get upset being shoved into the dirt by a loud crybaby minority of people.
Before I had any grasp of history, I just assumed that people were always heading toward being more liberal in how they deal with the world.
Nope, this is what we do. We have cycles of enlightenment and cycles of assholes responding to said enlightenment. Somebody always has to be morally superior, fighting some ugly enemy. If we ran out of reasons to fight tomorrow, we’d just argue over some other dumb shit.
I’m drunk, so please don’t take me too seriously. I’ll probably wake up tomorrow and argue with myself about deleting this comment haha.
Whatever happens, I really hope we have freedom at the end of the day. I don’t care what it costs. Maybe we aren’t meant to have it. Maybe our nature is just too ugly.
Why would they ask? They know what’s best for everyone. All people. All around the world.
/s
You could be the first person to predict this and when it happens, I’ll tell people I was there.
I can’t imagine having something like this.
You know what kind of couples I have known who use it?
Yep. That kind. The constant accusation, constant fighting, constant chaos kind. The same kind who share a Facebook account and all that.
I guess my bias there would be that those would also be the kind of people who advertise it.
I was standing beside an old coworker one time when her husband called, “babe, don’t freak out when I start moving. The boss is sending me to harbor freight to pick up some things.”
I got a call from her in the middle of the night one time, “I’m sitting by the lake and I’m about to drive my car in and kill myself.”
She knew her husband didn’t like me so she thought I wouldn’t call him. Well, I called him. “That bitch is lying. Life 360 has her sitting at her mom’s house right now. She just fucking wants attention!”
Still, I called a friend and asked them to drive by and see. Yep. She was at her mom’s house.
Very bold…atlas.
Put pictures up of the team America characters and type, “derka derka, allah jihad. 103 blah St.”
When they get there, they’re confronted with nothing and the joke is obviously a joke.
Not that it would save you.
I’ll check it out. Thank you.
