I still have to fucking watch The Wire. That just seems like such a heavy show that you can't binge-watch and it's also such a serious show that it's not something you can put on while eating since it'll be a one hour commitment.

https://digitaladdictsanonymous.com...season-1-5-2002-2003-2004-2006-2008-vudu-hd-1

It's $15 on Vudu or Google Play, I might just go for it. Someone left their HBO Max account logged in to my phone (lol!) and so I stream some HBO from it from time to time but The Wire probably needs the big screen and surround sound, so I may just buy it from Vudu and enjoy it on that.



Better Call Saul is ending and it has been intense so far this final season. I'm sad the BrBa/BCS universe is finally ending. It's for the best lest it becomes a joke of itself, like the The Walking Dead series has, but the two shows probably go down in history as iconic dramas. Much like The Wire and The Sopranos. I'm not sure if Boardwalk Empire would be on that level; probably not but I heard good things about that, too.

Speaking of HBO shows and their quality, I never picked up Westworld after season 1. I wonder if it's still worth catching up on.

The Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad probably the best shows I've seen. I also really liked Dexter, but it's a 2nd tier show, which is still great. Lost was 2nd tier, until the last season and the terrible ending. The Walking Dead, 3rd tier but went on too long. Boardwalk Empire, 3rd tier, very worth watching. Westworld, couldn't even finish the 1st season. So much is off with that show. One of the best shows I've seen recently was The Expanse. Solid 3rd tier, but you have to like Sci-fi and pay attention. Also, Halo on Paramount+ and Picard and Star Trek: Discovery, really good shit. But I'm partial to Sci-fi shows. Humans was a good show too.

I have yet to see Mad Men or True Detective, which are high on people's lists. Game of Thrones, I only saw a few seasons and then lost interest. While what I saw was good, if something can't hold my interest, I can't really rate it highly. Maybe because I came to it already not liking fantasy. Will give it another chance someday.

Woah, Boardwalk and TWD are the same tier to you? I haven't seen the former but even I know TWD quickly turned in to a cash cow for AMC and, I feel, got diluted with them trying to push merch on to rabid fans of the show. I can't say that for many of the shows many would consider an S or A-tier show. I get that impression since I'm subbed to the TWD subreddit and see the level of lunacy the fans of a dying show have. I still watch TWD and Fear, too, but like you said it's gone on way too long.

I watched The Expanse. Never read the novels so I was blind to the parallels between the show and the book. Much like TWD and the comics. I liked it but the final season was pretty weak. I know the character that played Alex was booted for harassment and shooting the final season was heavily impacted by COVID but it was a bit rough to watch and suspend disbelief. But yes, it was a good show and I'll definitely have to re-watch it to pick up on stuff I missed.

Haven't seen Mad Men either, which was another one of AMC's cash cows back in the day with TWD. AMC and FX really owned the early 2010s but then several of their good shows ended within a year or two of each other and now the cupboard's been bare since. One thing HBO does well is keep that continuous flow of good stuff. I hope they bring back that space comedy with Hugh Lauire. Avenue 5, I think it was called? I know COVID affected that too and I'm not sure if it's in limbo or been renewed yet.


Netflix cancelled Space Force, which was stupid. It was nothing groundbreaking but it wasn't shit and the cast was great. Netflix lived long enough to become the villain.

Agree with you both on a lot of your comments. Altered Carbon (2 seasons) on Netflix is 2nd tier but netflix cancelled it before the third season and there is no ending.

I watched a few episodes of Altered Carbon. It was good but didn't really grab me. Cyberpunk is not my thing. They also made an Altered Carbon anime movie, set before the events of the show.

Also, forgot about good shows like Atlanta and Insecure. Woke is similar and pretty good.

Killing Eve was good.

First season of You was fun. What We Do in the Shadows on FX, comedy gem. Second season of Evil, wow.

Barry is pretty good. Peacemaker, awesome. Reacher, nice.

I'm liking From on EPIX. Winning Time, Severance, both good.

Waiting for 2nd season of Your Honor, where Cranston pretty much plays Walter White as a judge.

Haven't caught Billions, Narcos, or Snowfall yet. Also, have to check out Pachinko and Tokyo Vice. First episode of The Man Who Fell to Earth on Showtime was good enough to keep watching.

Shows like Bridgerton or Emily in Paris or whatever don't even exist to me. Any show about royalty, bye.

I just caught up and watched Narcos. Damn it slaps - well worth the hype.

Started Manifest and got interested, but then it quickly took some bad turns to become a really low tier show. Makes me feel silly for wasting time.

Watched Altered Carbon since I had to spend weeks entering my apartment through the set when they were filming it. But I agree the show wasn't that great. I don't regret watching, but it was very forgettable.

Didn't watch Altered Carbon. Or Black Mirror. I only recently came around to sci-fi shows. I think TWD was my first venture in to it and that is on the lower end of it. I just have a bias against them. Same with superhero shows/movies, but I'm getting better about that in recent times, too.

I watched half of season 1 of Snowfall and I saw it's still going so I guess it's good? I think that one rape scene early on in the first season kind of put me off the rest of the show. I might try again.

WWDITS is fucking hilarious. I love Matt Berry from other shows but the entire cast is comedy gold. I think it's based on a movie? Haven't seen it and I'm not sure if it's worth watching at this point.

Also, I watch The Neighborhood which is just a run of the mill CBS comedy for Boomers but I like Cedric the Entertainer and that one dude from The New Girl. Also, his wife is pretty hot.
 
How about that SCOTUS leak of possibly overturning Roe v Wade?

Pretty wild that it happened and I wonder who did it.
My guess on the leak would be by the DNC through a shill at Politico. The Democrats are likely in for a huge loss at the midterm elections and what better way to rile up the voters than to scream "omg war on women!!@".

Well gee-whiz, freedom of speech winning while ministry of truth lurks and abortion under threat while world war three alarm bells ring louder! I think the powers have decided to put further political pressure on the sheeple. Just wait, next month it'll be a Q fanatic with itchy trigger finger brought to you by US intelligence. Domestic Operation Gladio. I just hope they don't pull off crazy shit before the election.

The thing about abortion though - it's big business and Tony Fauci is probably Fetus King.

https://www.nature.com/articles/528178a

"...staff at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill carefully grind the liver, centrifuge it and then extract and purify liver- and blood-forming stem cells. They inject the cells into the livers of newborn mice, and allow those mice to mature. The resulting animals are the only ‘humanized’ mice with both functioning human liver and immune cells and...they are invaluable in his work on hepatitis B and C, allowing him to probe how the viruses evade the human immune system and cause chronic liver diseases."

I'm not against using fetal tissue when done with respect to life. But looking at the common "profits above all" part of the story, I can then better understand the instigated division.

well fuck, Chappelle attacked, it was bound to happen :rolleyes: ABC news reports mentioned the attacker had a gun and a knife. (??) (Update: He reportedly had a replica gun that ejected a built-in knife.)

“I grabbed the back of that N***a’s head,” said Chappelle. “His hair was spongey!”

Later the comedian sounded a note of both shock and levity saying, “I’ve been doing this for 35 years. I just stomped a N***a backstage. I’ve always wanted to do that.”

Jamie Foxx came to his side lol shit's getting real dumb

the crazy dude got his arm tore up :eek::eek: I guess they'll have to get security to stand in the front at comedy shows now..

I loved Season 4 of Dexter

Mad Man dropped off. I need to rewatch True Detective as I'm undecided on whether it was good. Game of Thrones peaked at the Red Wedding or whatever it was called

In the meantime, the leaked Roe v Wade cancellation ruling shoved the Ukraine fiasco offstage so as to provoke more useful histrionics for the dreaded midterm elections upcoming. The poorly-understood truth is that said ruling will only send the abortion question back to the individual states. But let’s get real: places like New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, and California are not going to enact any new anti-abortion laws, and that’s where most of the people having hebephrenic breakdowns over the issue live. Which is to say there’s little danger that the shrieking denizens of these Blue states will lack abortions. So, how much has the party only been pretending that Roe v Wade is its primal touchstone?

The strange parallel question has been raised: might laizzez-fair abortion be a cover for the evident new problem that Covid-19 vaccines have made a shocking number of birthing people incapable of reproducing? There’s a buzz about it, anyway. It’s a fact that Pfizer excluded pregnant and breastfeeding women from all phases of its mRNA trials. Among the various harms now ascribed to the mRNA shots are infertility, miscarriage, and newborn abnormalities. But, of course, that sort of rumor — in this case coming from cases among vaccinated military personnel and not so easily hushed up — is just what the many lurking censors want to slap down in any forum where ideas could be exchanged. It’s misinformation!

And so, the derangement volume knob over Twitter changing ownership stays up at eleven. Imagine what will happen if the supposedly 70-odd percent of Americans who got vaxxed learn in a re-liberated Twitter Zone that the Covid-19 vaccines are not “safe and effective.” According to Zero Hedge, twenty-six globalist NGOs with ties to George Soros signed a letter saying, “Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety, especially among those already most vulnerable and marginalized.”

They are, as usual, projecting — since what is a greater threat to public safety than inducing tens of millions of frightened citizens to accept multiple shots of a poorly-tested pharmaceutical cocktail that can kill you six ways to Sunday? The folks in-charge (and others who would like to be the boss-of-you) don’t want you to know any of this. The pharma companies, the doctors, the hospital administrators, and the politicians must be frantic with terror of being found out.

Altogether, the scene looks like a multi-dimensional nightmare. Broken economy… sinking Western Civ… police state tyranny… vaccine death and injury… starvation…. So, there it is. Oh, look, those markets… they’re puking again!

Not sure if I agree with the "distraction from Pfizer documents" angle. The MSM don't even talk about it so there's nothing to hide.

The strategically placed story of the Taliban forcing women to wear burqas is tell tale sign.

Do idiot Americans really think that being able to voice anti Vax propaganda on Twitter will make any difference? Honestly, the idiocy in your country both amuses and worries me.... Education is free, but you can't fix stupid!

The problem is that they (or and algo) banned decorated, educated people. It got to be so bad, they(msm) started censoring themselves!!! I can find many instances where the narrative pushers lied, straight up, but they remain untouched. It's very easy to see the problem.

It backfired. Seems to be the pattern for them (the powers)

***
A short outline of stories absent from the MSM coverage

  1. Shanghai/Chinese Lockdown. (Never about prosecuting domestic covid mafia)
  2. Hunter Biden Laptop (Possible contents of which would make Anthony Weiner look like Mother Teresa)
  3. Nazi in Ukraine and anything a Russian politician says (unless if it's apologizing for Hitler was a J*w remarks)
  4. Rumors of vaccine adverse reaction censorship/data manipulation and its official documented proof.
  5. Apparently manufactured food crisis
  6. How the sanctions are backfiring and Biden will go down as the worst president in history!!!@ (but we're fine with that because he's officially not-trump.)
any I missed?

***

I'm going to get ahead of myself here; if people are really serious about digitizing humanity through all the Hollywood indoctrination, they must realize the thick barrier of human nature (especially about the sociopaths that rule) when we face the possibility of putting Twitter and Facebook into our brains. The dead Neuralink monkey was given mercy!!

An analogy would be the destruction of Earth - it's so bad down here dreamers like Musk wants to start over on Mars. At what cost? Losing the only home we have? The best place we have that the eyes can see?

Insanity. Ignoring the problem and hastily digitizing everything around us, swiping away inconvenience, is playing into the hands of the oppressor in my big picture.

Oh shit, there I go again advocating! :)

Borrowed words

It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you’re on – a card carrying member of the great awakening or useful idiot on the lockdown left, you’re still part of the same problem. You have been taken hostage by a series of narratives laid on with a shovel by the predator class and designed for the sole purpose of keeping you rapt and not informed, sedentary and not spirited. In the world of algorithms everyone is created equal, and data is just data, there’s no morality to it.

These events play out as a nail-biting whodunnit, but the reality is, they’re not supposed to be solved. There’s no answers nor restitution, it’s your awareness and not your belief systems which is being harvested.

What these hellhounds want is for you to pick your side, choose your battle, but make sure your battlelines are social media, and that you’re not throwing Molotov cocktails at the Tower of Babel.

Everyone has a dog in the fight. Particularly, those baying for the blood of the unvaccinated or calling for violence against Russians, who do so, according to Voltaire, because those who can make you believe in absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

It’s quite simple really. If a person’s psyche is under siege and they don’t designate an enemy to scapegoat, they might get wise to who’s really attacking them, and that simply wouldn’t do.

In this theatre of the absurd people acclimatise to fiction because it’s easier than confronting uncomfortable truths. But under these fertile conditions any version of reality, no matter how precarious, will wash. That’s where the Great Reset enters the fray.

Once you desecrate a person’s moralistic and cultural maps of the world, their place in it becomes increasingly untenable. People lose touch with reality and what it means to be human. The ensuing crisis of identity leaves them susceptible to hostile takeover. Amongst other things that could possibly go wrong is the eventual microchipping of the population and brain machine interfaces.

Notable US Supreme Court decisions

Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur v. Louisiana Board of Health, 186 U.S. 380 (1902) A state's police power to enforce quarantine laws extends to restricting the movements of uninfected individuals.

Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905) Individual liberty is not absolute, and a state's police power must be held to embrace at least such reasonable regulations established directly by legislative enactment to protect public health and safety, which extends to compulsory vaccination laws.

Zucht v. King, 260 U.S. 174 (1922) School districts can constitutionally exclude unvaccinated students.

Prince v. Massachusetts, 321 U.S. 158 (1944) States have broad authority to regulate the actions and treatment of children. Parental authority is not absolute and can be permissibly restricted if doing so is in the interests of a child's welfare. While children share many of the rights of adults, they face different potential harms from similar activities. Compulsory vaccination is an example of a fundamental police power.

Buck v. Bell 274 U.S. 200 (1927) State statutes permitting compulsory sterilization of the unfit, including the intellectually disabled, "for the protection and health of the state" did not violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. (partially overruled by Skinner v. Oklahoma (1942) and fully by the American with Disabilities Act of 1990). The case is often cited as one of the worst ever Supreme Court decisions.

Happy persons who bear children day!

One of you guys got a Herman Miller Embody. That pushed me towards getting one, too. Placed the order for a Gaming edition on sale, so that should be coming in a few weeks. My dad's Aeron is on its way too. I think it was Aron that said he got an Embody? I'll have to look back and see. But this rat-dick chair I'm on right now is like 8 years old and on its way out. Time for an upgrade.

Anyone use CBD? I just got saddled with managing inventory for a ton of CBD products for the clinic, fresh out of somewhere in Colorado. I guess its big business now that it's legal and getting it from a doctor's office instead of the gas station should give buyers a bit more confidence in what they're getting.

Yeah I have one. I hope you like it and don't think you should've got the aeron instead, I remember you saying you liked the aeron better. My mom and sister sat on mine and were not impressed. They wanted it to be like a couch or something I feel like. I'm like mom I can sit here for 12 hours today and play games and not feel sore afterwards, so she liked that of course. Only thing that sucks is I sit more now when I work instead of standing up but that's some first world problems
