Fuck This Bullshit

Tax should be spent in the prioritizing of public funds for the greater good of society instead of go sports team go subsidization of billionaires.

And yes, a national system like this would cost more than $2b. More likely a couple trillion over a few decades. But we need to start somewhere and get our priorities straight.

This type of thing really shows American priorities. We talk a big game about freedom and all sorts of ridiculous platitudes while expending our resources on frivolous bullshit while letting Americans literally starve, go without education, medical care, or homes. And this isn’t just pro sports. Google the new Hebron High School athletic facility in Texas. It’s fucking lunacy. And no, I’m not against high school athletics. But i do think they could easily have afforded a good new facility while also doing something worthwhile.

“I was so horny I had to rub one out in the restroom. Seven people came in while I was doing it and I didn’t stop.”

And none of them dropped to their knees?!?

“It’s Alive!”

Last September, I bought my first CD deck since the early 2000s. I followed that up by replacing about a dozen of the couple hundred CDs that had disappeared in the aftermath of the fire two and a half years ago. Everything was fine for a while, but then one day several of the disks started skipping or just flat out refused to play. Disheartened, and deciding it wasn’t worth my time or frustration to try and get them playing (there was nothing physically wrong with any of the disks and they played fine in my Mac), I removed the deck from my system and packed it up.

After stumbling across a YouTube video this morning about how to fix wonky CD players, I decided to give it a go. And wouldn’t you know…it worked! I put on the CD that was the worst offender (Pet Shop Boys: Very/Relentless) and both disks played from beginning to end without a single hiccup.

So what did I do to pull to fix it? I got some isopropyl alcohol, cotton swabs, and wiped down the laser lens and the rails on which the laser sled rides. There was a small bit of gunk on one of the rails, and that was apparently all it took to throw things off.
