You actually can buy quality dumb TVs, but you have to do the legwork and do research on what are often referred to as "commercial displays." I see them everywhere in businesses for ads and showing the menu. They're sometimes a little pricier, but they're usually built a little "beefier" too, as they're expected to deal with more rough usage in like a restaurant context.

However, the other solution is the one you've already mentioned where you never plug the Smart TV into the internet, and instead bypass the "smart" on the TV with your own streaming boxes.

I think as more people realize there is a market for dumb TVs, you'll start to see that market grow more and more until they no longer just "commercial displays." Just gotta get enough people buying them and not buying Smart TVs.

"Knock. Knock."

"Who's there?"

"9/11"

"9/11 who?"

"YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER FORGET!"

...and now they're in a shelter in place because of *checks notes unexpected rain, unusual climate change related weather.

They're putting it in the stuff you drink!

Corporations are not our friends. 🤷‍♂️

What, you don't want to shift gears endlessly while stuck moving between 10 mph and a dead stop on the freeway for three hours?

I see very few memes and far too much political content. Of that political content it’s all the same.

That's funny because the meme subs still far outpace posting from politics subs for me, and I mostly see memes.

In fact, a few weeks ago, there were lots of complaints in meme comments of how the only thing they saw on the site was memes.

It's not that there aren't any, it's that the protections for workers are abysmal compared to protections for businesses.

For example, if I stole money from my employer, they could have me arrested and press charges for theft.

On the other hand, if I am able to prove that my employer hasn't been paying me fairly and has been shorting my paychecks, I can spend a lot of money to take them to court, and in most cases, all that will happen is the business will have to... pay you back exactly what they already owed you. They won't pay fines, no one will go to jail, and it's an "oops" and then slap on the wrist kind of deal.

Worker protections exist, but the deck is stacked against us.

Fuckin finally. So, so tired of every white collar shitbro being afforded every opportunity to keep being a shitstain.

Everyone from fuckin SBF to Donald Fuckin Trump.

Stop glad handing these pricks and treat them like you would any other criminal, worthless fucking "justice" system.

Regular ass people can be beaten and arrested based on cops getting the wrong person, and then when you justifiably "resisted" because you're fucking innocent, it means you'll have "resisting arrest" charges following you the rest of your fucking life.

Yet these pricks can make calls about when they'll turn themselves in.

The original with Crowder implied his mind couldn't be changed because Crowder is a fucking idiot who refuses to listen to anyone but himself.

This one implies a willingness to listen and learn. Calvin was impulsive sure, but there were plenty of times he regretted his actions and wanted to learn from his mistakes. He is just an innocent child, after all.
