  1. Remember when corporations used to view that they had a responsibility to their employees rather than strictly their shareholders (and their quarterly earnings or P/E ratios)? I do. Pensions were fully funded. Thanks, Milton.
  2. The last episode was a train wreck, but for an off-season summertime filler there's a lot of other stuff out there that's much worse. (I know, glowing review, right?)
  3. Agreed on both points and thought Oldman's performance (in just one scene) was outstanding.
  4. If you can't understand how race affects pretty much every aspect of a black person's life in this country I can't help you. That incident in Frisco (where a completely innocent family was stopped, held at gunpoint, threatened, and cuffed for being...black in Frisco.
  5. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2023/08/04/we-almost-died-arkansas-family-recounts-traumatic-traffic-stop-by-frisco-police/
  6. Wonder if those “friends” claimed those trips as business expenses.
  7. TBH the only shows on Disney + I care about are Andor and Mandalorian. Probably could drop and wait for them to return.
  8. OMG. I’ve had this bundle since it was first offered. And then yesterday everything got totally fucked when I tried to add live TV because my Hulu was being billed through Apple. Have been on multiple calls with all 3 providers (not ESPN) FI hours over the last two days. total shit show. About ready to drop it all.
  9. @sidis, you see, here, unlike with @Lidig8r, you have an authentic troller. If you're wanting to blast someone, by all means please feel free. FWIW I've never met lidig8r but I know who he is based largely on him having revealed himself during the course of the tragic loss of his daughter (who my daughter, DDD [no pics], knew as a contemporary). I gave him a pass on his comments, with which I completely disagreed and assumed were uninformed, because he has not shown himself to troll on this board or Shaggy, and because professionally his reputation is solid. Carry on.
  10. Watched a segment last night on PBS News Hour about complicated black lung (and now silicosis due to modern mining methods). WV really is a depressing place, and Joe Manchin is a big reason why lots of those people continue to suffer terribly both physically and economically. It's apparently estimated that mining-related lung damage reduces average life expectancy by 12 years.
  11. Somehow we never watched the original. Started on it last week. Finished Season 1 last night. Very entertaining.
  12. I dunno. I’m gonna give lidig8r a pass knowing his personal and professional history.
