OT: Anything Goes 40

[CallMeShaft]

I did not see anyone on this forum bitch about Apple when their profits went from $57Bn in 2020 to $94bn in 2021. They are there to make a profit as are the oil companies. I don't behoove them that.

I LOL the second one. That is why Discovery is reformatting them. Because they are so reputable. Get a grip FFS. BBC is a wonderful place to get news that isn't skewed one way or another and one give both sides. That might not work for you though the way you are coming at me.

People aren't forced to buy iPhones or Macs. People do need gas.

And f*** Zaslav. You might legitimately be the first person I've seen online who is commending any part of his work since Discovery bought out Warner.

I get that. But when oil companies were losing money nobody was coming to their defense. There are huge swings in the oil company profits and now it is a terrible time to have record profits.

Even though we disagree I still love you guys

Oil companies don't need anyone to come to their defense. I think the billions of dollars is enough comfort.

You don’t behoove them?

So the once in a lifetime pandemic that caused oil companies to FINALLY lose money, instead of post 10-11 digit profits is what you're going with here? Outside of COVID, when was the last time Exxon didn't post billion dollar profits?

Here, I'll help you. Here's the last 13 years.

I trust no news org. They are very left leaning and Fox is very right leaning. CNN obviously has an agenda and I see through their BS. Use at your own risk.

Dude, have you watched CNN in the past 4 months? They got a new CEO around the beginning of June and have turned into Fox lite.

I watch BBC, PBS, and locals.

That's actually a really good call. Cable news sucks it's all corporate narratives to help maintain the status quo.

I like to follow independent journalists on YT a lot. If I watched TV for news that's what I'd do though. Koch is a huge donor to PBS so I kinda get weary about that.

I like local channels especially when I am traveling. I like to see what is up around the country. I am pretty middle of the road person to the angst of some. I just have always been that way since I first voted.

Most people are somewhere in the middle, myself included.

If you watch the news and think news channels are "out to get you", it has a lot more to do with you than them. Its like old people getting duped on the internet, its pretty easy to tell what is BS, who is trolling, etc.

In other news, I have a good friend, worked together for about 3 years, hung out a lot outside of work. Found out he had cancer last year and he hid how bad it was. Found out he is getting moved to hospice tomorrow. 29. Going to say goodbyes tomorrow. f***.

Thanks all. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do or say when I see him. But I feel like I’ll regret not going.

16 St. Ignatius College Prep students injured after truck crashes into hockey team bus in Indiana: police

The truck driver, who failed a sobriety test, was arrested, police said, and charges of driving while under the influence are pending. The team had played at Culver Military Academy and was headed to a hotel at the time of the crash in Warsaw, about 50 miles south of South Bend.

Hopefully everyone has a speedy recovery and no long-term implications from the injuries sustained. The drunk semi driver should rot in prison. Sack of shit.

Yep. Put him away for a long time. Good to hear that everyone is stable. There were 3 critical last night, I believe.
