I tried listening to cumtown a few times and I just couldn't find much to like about it personally. Every time I listened, I cringed on a scale not seen since the last time I had to sit through an episode of the office.

Was that the point of their schtick?

He was paid a regular check and then bought crypto with his first 3 checks. He was never paid in crypto specifically.

Though he's a politician and in general that means he's full of poo poo so he probably never bought crypto at all.

I think my tolerance for podcast stupidity is This Is Important. I was listening to the Adam Conover podcast about crypto this week, and the guest just oozed gooniness. I typically like Conover's schtick, he's not awful, but that guest just gooned the gently caress out.

The town cancelled the fireworks show here because of the drought, but that's not going to stop idiots from starting fires because they want pretty colors and boom booms.

However, this area isn't exactly known for its citizens having any wealth so it's been little stuff that peters out quick because fireworks are expensive.

gently caress the insurance company, they should still pay out.

Mmmm. Negligence of safety is a real motherfucker. Especially if they live in a state with strict laws around fireworks.

I look at the neighborhood in the background there and I think, yeah, they can afford to pay higher insurance premiums for being morons while also not being paid out for repairs to their property because they neglected to take any safety precautions, possibly illegal fireworks, leaving that child next to a literal pile of explosives even briefly, probably alcohol involved, etc.

It's one thing if a fire from like, a neighboring property or a wild fire of some variety catches your poo poo on fire. You have no control over that. If you cause the fire, then lol, accept the responsibility and don't post pictures for your insurer to find on the interwebs proving your stupidity to increase your premiums.

E: part of me really wants to agree with you, but a bigger part really just wants dumb people on that scale to pay for their own stupidity. I'm dumb too, but I'm not set cars on fire with a pile of fireworks dumb.

Roofs are a bit different because age is a big factor. Older the roof, the less they pay out, but a year old one would be bought out in whole.

Put a metal roof on and watch your rate drop. Cheaper to replace, longer warranties, higher general durability outside of hail, but noisy as gently caress in the driving rain.

I mean, I kinda equate this level of stupidity to drunk driving. An insurer isn't going to cover your rear end if you DUI your car into a pole at 0.2 on the breathalyzer. If you're operating outside the boundaries of what is expected of you, that's on your rear end, and they'll gladly get a judgement against you after paying out everyone else first.

E: maybe make negligence claims similar to credit, where it falls off after 7 years of not accidentally burning your home to the ground or flooding the subdivision because you didn't call to have lines marked first. Part of learning is making mistakes, sometimes people have to learn by paying for their previous drunk or irresponsible fuckups.

While I agree with you in cases of stupid is as stupid does, or gently caress around and find out (lets watch the fireworks from 5 feet away instead of 50???) the problem is:

Insurance is all too fuckin happy to take your money, and then will fight tooth and goddamn nail to have to keep from paying any of it back. They are the singular epitome of useless, value extracting middle-men who add nothing to the greater economy. gently caress em.

You're right, they're loving leeches.

CNN interviewee (a rep from the woodrow wilson center?) said the shooter was former SDF.

I think they should be able to increase defense forces. If/when China makes a run on Taiwan, we're going to need an ally nearby that can seriously defend itself, maybe send some of their own to support a campaign.

I don't know how much Japan relies on the US economically, but they'd take a serious hit if they decided to play nationalist empire again. If they ever played games serious enough to draw sanctions, it wouldn't take much time to starve them out. They don't exactly have sweeping plains to grow grains to feed cattle or make tofu, and they're actively depleting their fish supply. The future isn't looking to good for Japan, their interest to stay in line in the trade bloc is just as important as all of their citizens having kids like loving right now.

Allowing them military expansion would probably be a boost to their economy, and ours, because we're going to sell them all sorts of poo poo to get up to speed. It might bite us in the rear end (maybe bar them from nukes), but Ukraine could bite us in the rear end. Taiwan could bite us in the rear end. We, as a nation, stick our rear end out specifically to test the waters and see who is going to bite, and how hard.

I don't think Japan has any real interest in their old ways. But I also don't think they'd turn down a slice of Russia if it collapses after Putin dies. They've played nice for 77 years, maybe give that dog a little more leash.

I like the show but gonna politely disagree, some school eps have nothing happen and it feels like they forgot to include jokes. I mean even peak Simpsons had clip episodes there’s no reason to watch, pobody’s nerfect.

Unrelated but did tweets stop previewing in threads?

Oh, there are definitely boring episodes, but they're more tolerable than flipping channels to Friends or Seinfeld or Big Bang Theory reruns, or playing the "what should I watch" game, which usually results in Futurama. Boring but wholesome is a low bar of acceptability, but it's amazing how many shows can't even reach that.

Movie was fine, needs more Marshmallow and Gail.

Also clip show simpsons is how we know they're from Kentucky, thanks to the Behind the Laughter episode.
