Substandard insurance companies do this all the time. I’m sure they know that for every minute that people sit on hold, so many people will hang up. If you have minor damage to your car and their insured hit you, you might give up in frustration and forget about it.

My theory is it’s an attempt to get you to hang up. Ever notice how when a company is trying to sell you something, you can’t stop them from calling, texting, emailing you? Yet when you need service, loud, long , hold times.

When you’re ready for a diss song, try Positively 4th Street by Bob Dylan.

If you want to get rid of overpopulation in prisons, outlaw for-profit prisons. It’s that simple.

I know he didn’t write The Irish Rover. My comment stands alone; I believe he’s an amazing songwriter. I should have been more specific.

Love the Pogues, Dubliners and this song. Shane MacGowan is an amazing songwriter.

This is one of those times where I’m glad it happened but, I don’t really wanna congratulate the people that did it because up until this point they were making certain people illegal just because of the way they were born. All I can muster is: good first step; keep moving in that direction.

It would seriously have to be like a 30 hour movie broken up into 10 three hour films or something close to that. I don’t think any human could possibly do that. Maybe we should let AI take a crack at it. Maybe it will be the thing that breaks AI lol.

Michael Schur (Mose from The Office) owns the rights to Infinite Jest. Not sure that anyone could do justice in a film. Perhaps he bought it to shitty-adaptation-block it from being made.

Or, from his perspective, ever.
He’s just another far right neofascist that wants continuous war to feed the military industrial complex.

Reply to comment by girafa in Brooke Shields' movies are so creepy and inappropriate. Imagine your entire film career being reduced to movies which seemed so exploitative of her. by Lisieu_Lustre
Brooke appeared in Playboy fully nude at the age of 10! Her mother signed off on it. I think her mom was one of those stage moms that will sign off on anything for money or fame.
