The really crazy part is that if they just increased the time slot, they would have room to stuff in even more commercials. So why cut anything at all?

Even worse was that they would "cut movies to length" which actually meant it was stuffed full of commercials and then parts of the movie got trimmed off to make it fit in the time slot that they wanted to fit it into. I honestly grew up thinking that most of Clint Eastwoods westerns were completely fucking insane. They were just so damn random and often kinda rapey. Then I finally watched one on a cable with no commercials. I was so fucking confused. I thought I was having a stroke. Finally someone understood what was going on and explained to me about how they cut the movies for tv

There's also the disappearing buildings too.

From B to GGG! Holy shit! That's fucking insane. I thought we were talking about some general swelling sort of on the order of what happens with pregnant women. And it happened within a 6 month period? I can't even begin to comprehend what that must have been like. She would have had to have woken up every morning with a noticable increase in size. I'll bet it started out as a "wow, this is a nice little perk" and very rapidly escalated to "WTF!". I also really like that the all fixed picture is waaayy bigger than the original B size.

Don't condescend to these people. They have the same satellite/cable TV and broadband internet that the rest of us have. These are educated people. Do you realize how many programs, grants, and entire colleges are focused on farmers/ranchers? Half the colleges in the south are either agriculture colleges or have agriculture programs. Even the inner city highschools have FFA programs. These people went to college and have at least 4 year college degree.
They may be awash in propaganda , so are the rest of us. But they outright defended the pedo who praised the Nazis and said he wanted to be a king. They cheered when he said that if he got elected they would never have to vote again. This is what they knowingly voted for.

Me reading this on my piece of shit phone: uh oh

Their plan doesn't make sense because you think that their goals are the same as yours.
Have you ever read the Bible? Or even about the bible? This shit is seriously insane. You should read about the book of Job. God makes a bet with Satan that Job is just as awesome as God has been bragging about and as part of the bet Satan gets to spend an insane amount of time and effort murdering Job's family and servants, destroying all his shit, torturing him and generally fucking him up for shits and giggles. God lets Satan absolutely go to town on his "favorite of all time", not to force Satan to change his ways or reform in any way, but just for a "I told you so".
Now imagine you get force fed this shit every Sunday, at least every Sunday, probably even nightly. You get it drilled into you this is not only 100% absolute truth, but also the book on which you are supposed to base our every thought and action in your life.
People like RFK aren't looking to save lives, or cure illness, they are looking to make people suffer and die.
And then you have the rest of them that are looking to make money off of it.

I was active on reddit for 12 years. Odds are pretty high that there's a bot with my "voice" out there doing something shady.

I haven't sent anything to anyone that wasn't spell checked in more than a decade. So, ya it's going to be a weird future where you just choose the comment you want to respond to and AI fills it out for you.

That's really cool. The borrowing thing is the part of common core that they teach in elementary, and it is the part that enrages conservatives. The point of the homework and practice questions is to repeatedly do the borrowing thing until it becomes automatic and something that they do in their heads all of the time. So, it absolutely enrages the right when kids get the correct answer, but lose points for doing the problem the wrong way.
I was taught to do it the hard way and had to figure out the other tricks for myself much later in life, so now, even after decades of doing it your way, it's more of a struggle than it should be and I just reach for my calculator instead. So I envy you quite a bit.

Keep up the good work with your subversive teaching of common core principles as tips, tricks, cheats and shortcuts. That's actually how they should have branded it, instead of common core, it should have been cheating core, then they would have been all for it.

Those few and rare cases... Looks at daily scrolling list of school shootings... So very rare.
