    Who cares? I don’t think someone didn’t get a crack at it just because her dad is in the entertainment industry. It’s not like there is a certain number of jobs to be had in that field.

    I don't know why people defend nepo babies so hard, it's not a slur. We all know why they're where they are. Some are good, even

    I even called her the most talented of nepo babies.

    She isn’t going to date either of you so you might as well calm down.

    I think why our art sucks now is because you almost have to come from money to make it. No one can afford to live in places like LA and NY while trying to make it or be in a band that endlessly tours for next to nothing before they make. It shallows up our pool of prospective artists very quickly

    Not to mention arts education is the first thing local governments love to cut from schools. Or at least is used to be. Now it’s no soup for you!

    this is mostly tongue in cheek but why are you singing sad songs when you’re worth nine figures? i guess we all experience heartbreak (not me, built different) but just go to one of your vacation homes in the Maldives. im not buying it.

    usually hate the shameless troop pandering songs but travellin soldier is really a fantastic song and it’s a damn shame the conservative babies in this dumb country cancelled the dixie chicks (i know it’s not originally their song) because i enjoy their music

    Youre always gonna need more space than it says because it uses storage for other things that dont register as storage. Gotta move more shit off your phone.

    Parents are laying something like 300 dollars a month via satellite and internet.

    Was at my parents this weekend. YouTube and YouTubetv was quite hard to explain. “We have the YouTube already” finally got that sorted and was trying to see what their internet is.

    they are paying 100 dollars a month for 6mb down. Wtf

    they are in rural south ga and the electric company got a grant to run fiber internet via telephone lines so they can have 1gb fiber for 70 bucks a month.

    “should we switch?”

    well yes i would have switched yesterday

    I tried doing this with my parents to switch to Fiber and Hulu. And my dad is like I wont know how to use it. So they will still be paying double for the rest of their lives

    I've noticed so many old boomers, who grew up in very large metropolitan areas and dealt with traffic all their lives, CONSTANTLY mention traffic when you talk about driving anywhere.

    well i got them switched but history channel was a big sticking point. Showed them the on demand history app and it was fine. After that. Other sticking point was that their current internet is via telephone connections so never a goes out with power and they can have internet with the generator. Took my calling my buddy who basically runs the local emc to tell him fiber is along the same poles but isn’t subject to failures like the power lines. Also making them upgrade their wifi not sure he can reach 10 feet.
