This nanny state nonsense

This nanny state nonsense annoys me. The republicans are right about it. But like so many right wing issues I can't make common cause with them because they go all outrage over it. Or they go to far in racist or bigoted directions that decidedly turn me off.

In regards to copying and pasting text, providing a link to the source should cover the action.

WP is the only subscription I pay for at the moment. I find there are usually other sites that are free where the stories are referenced and I link to that.

AP has as a good vibe and I wish more bits showed up there.

Really. I'm constantly bouncing around. For me having a streaming service is a necessity but more than one is a luxury I can't afford. I moved to HBO regularly for GOT and the Potter series of films. Back to Netflix for Orange is the new Black and Breaking Bad. I had to do Amazon for Orphan Black which imo is the best new scifi tv series in at least a couple of decades. Now I'm back to Netflix for several months.

That's my porn name - thought

That's my porn name - thought you'd notice. Someone's gotta draw the crowd. When they said "mast head" it was completely different from what I expected. Most haven't even worked the pole before.

In reply to Wouldn't it be more fair to

on the content, the way in which it is written, I just found it extremely arrogant and condescending. and it's not about minors, minors are already prohibited. it's one thing to write to educate people, it's another to talk about (rather than to) your adult constituents as if they are children or wards of the state! If he wants to change the culture, talk to the culture you want to change, geez.

yeah it's like a full time job bouncing around subscribing and unsubscribing services. (perhaps this is our payback for making fun of the parents' coupon clipping and moving their CD around from bank to bank to get a free toaster?)

I really did subscribe today

I really did subscribe today because of all your links. But I've been thinking about it for a while. I got pissed when I paid $80 for a year and a few months later they offered a year for $29. So when the year was up I unsubbed. But it was only 29 for a year so after several months I resubbed. In a year it goes up to $100 so I'll unsub again then. My SS is enough to live on but luxury items have to be carefully considered.

But of course now that you got me subbed you're gonna drop it. /sigh

In reply to Wouldn't it be more fair to

yeah all joking aside I've been paying for both, because NYTimes got so woke, and WaPo had mo better on Trumpster follies the last year or so. I should really think about cutting it now, tho, and I've got to keep the NYTimes for the local. Maybe I can get the cable bill down enough to keep WaPo, we'll see. Hope you've at least noticed I tried to paste a lot of text when I thought it was an especially good exclusive, just to share. WaPo really is better than it used to be, mho!

(You know, comes to mind, one upside to this being a small group here at Dag is: nobody is going to bother us about pasting a lot of text copy, especially in comments and not in posts, cause that's very arguably "fair use", is like a college seminar using it or some such... while if it was a big audience it would be a whole nother thing)
