You can be an exploited, underpaid and overworked farm laborer pretty easily if that’s something you want.

The character of George is a stand-in for Larry and if you watch with that in mind it becomes more apparent that Jerry is essentially playing “the straight man” to his funnier cast mates. Which is great because as you mention, Jerry’s not very funny or relatable and comes across as a pompous dick most of the time.
People will argue about anything on the internet, just like lying.

I’m saying without the greed of capitalism we wouldn’t have phones to swap out parts.
This might be a hot take but I’m not sure we all need a phone in our pocket or that it’s inherently a good thing.
They changed literally to mean figuratively because the internet wouldn’t stop doing it.
This timeline is fucked in so many ways.
People laugh about that being so unbelievable and baseless
FWIW I’m sure there’s a bunch of Republicans fucking kids in a Pasta House basement somewhere.
nomous@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was the craziest thing you have seen a tourist do?3·7 months agoKegs aren’t even hard to get. If he really wants that keg he can just call the nearest distributor and they’ll be happy to hook him up. They might even deliver it.
Seriously, the best most flavorful fruits and veggies are always the ones that are 1 day away from going bad.
I didn’t say the kid suffered?
It’s a shitty spot for bio-dad to be in. Kid may see it for what it is and may not. If I were the dad I simply wouldn’t put myself in that sitatution. They can go enjoy their vacation and I’d spend the time with my son after.
Why did you assume I was talking about the dad?
You know a whole lot of parents don’t love their kids and don’t want to spend time with them, right?
I’d absolutely assume mom & new dad would have several romantic dinners and activites alone while bio-dad entertained his kid.
edit; oh I see someone grew up in a loving household and assumes they’re all like that
nomous@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hi Lemmy, what's a good IP camera with night vision and no vendor lock-in?1·8 months agoI haven’t run into that particular issue (I wish I could replace some old ones) but we stream back to a Linux box and then out to cloud storage for archival purposes so maybe we aren’t hitting the onboard stuff as hard.
edit: the primary reason we deal with axis is because they’re extremely configurable/fixable remotely
nomous@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hi Lemmy, what's a good IP camera with night vision and no vendor lock-in?13·8 months agoAxis makes good (the best) IP cams, I use them commercially, they’re pretty much the gold standard. Super fucking expensive though so probably not worth it for home use but you might be able to pick up something 2nd hand.
nomous@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What song did you love until you found out what it was about?82·8 months agoYeah I’m familiar with the reddit argument I just think it’s half the story. It was written by a husband and wife but you clearly have an axe to grind so go off king.
Have a nice night.

I’ve never seen the movie you’re talking about so maybe it was played differently there but when the song was released it was obviously a duet between two people who wanted to “do stuff” but were unable to due to norms and societies judgement.
Why are you so insistent on portraying the woman as a victim and the man as rapist when that’s clearly not what was intended?
nomous@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What song did you love until you found out what it was about?102·8 months agoWhen people consume media it’s important to have context. Short-sighted inability to contextualize anything outside of our current standards doesn’t help anyone at all and actually makes understanding and moving forward more difficult.
If you’re saying the standards of the time make it acceptable, I say that reflects really badly on the standards of the time. By the standards of the time, black people had fewer rights than white men. I hope to fuck we can improve upon the standards of the 1940s.
The standards were quite different that’s for sure. That’s why it’s important to understand that it was a different era. An unmarried woman willingly staying with a man was destroying her reputation at that time even if she wanted to.
What a fucking jerkoff, billions of dollars at his disposal, he’s probably got designers and renowned artists on speed dial…
…and the most creative he can get is “a shirt, but in a fun print!”
