  • Or just do what I did where I have one of those wall mounted plastic channels with some of the cables hidden in it but two other cables just go to the TV without being hidden because the channel got full and I decided that I was done managing my cables for now.

    The lady that owned this place before me had one of those in wall cable runs on a wall I didn’t want to put my TV on. Not even sure how you get the cable out the other side, so I’ve left it there with the broken HDMI cable she left there, in case I want to run a different cable (so I can just attach it to the current one and pull it through). I probably should just patch the wall up though lol.


  • Isn’t masking tape the one that looks kinda like sticky yellow/beige paper? I think you’re right about tape being used, but it’s one of the clear ones.

    I also counted at least three of the plastic ones that get nailed to the wall. One near your first picture, (can’t see it while I write this comment (really need to get a better client than Voyager) so I forget if it’s visible in the pic or if you need to check the big pic), on the cable from the PS4 to the TV, just after the bend to a diagonal, it’s one of the ones you clip the cable into after mounting. And two on the xbox psu cable, they are both the type that you nail over the wire and a curved bit of plastic holds the wire against the wall.

    But those were the only ones I could see, plus even those ones don’t explain how it keeps the hard angles instead of the cable settling into a rounded shape. Guessing they intended to use the plastic ones but quickly realized it wouldn’t hold the shape they wanted without needing to put a ton of holes in the wall and switched to tape after that to solve both problems.

    Edit: looking at it again, I don’t think the first one I mentioned is one of those clips anymore, so just the two on the xbox psu cable (should be obvious once you see them).




  • Alternatively, Cartman is in the files (because Epstein used his paint the walls in shit revenge service to prank one of the actual visitors to the island) and when told he can make the girls do anything he wants, he gets one to make fun of Kyle on video, where he is clearly being an asshole to her.

    And Butters is also in the file because they tried to recruit him after he went viral for What, What, In the Butt, which Cartman latches on to and spends the whole episode trying to help Butters clear his name (so that he can clear his own name in the process).

    Also Randy is on the list because he was trying to get them to sign Tegrity Farms up as their official weed supplier and he spends the episode trying to supress the information entirely but gets Streisand effected hard, leading to the follow up episode where Trump tries to pin the whole thing on Randy (and everything else, too, and starts bringing up shit that isn’t even public). In the end, Randy gets “one of the harshest punishments ever given to a rich person”: a fine for $3.50, and everyone realizes that it wasn’t a judge presiding over the case, but a 3-story crustacean known as the Lochness Monster and the episode ends with everyone getting together to yell at Nessie (and the incident is never mentioned again).






  • Because the language policing trend didn’t happen naturally but was another angle of the divide and conquer, deflecting people to waste time policing language instead of useful endevors while alienating not only people who disagreed about the underlying values but also people tired of people bitching about their use of language.

    They needed all of the stops to pull off the elections and one of them was amplifying the most obnoxious aspects of the left, which also affected their credibility, which was important to get the opposition to ignore the warnings about the obvious signs of fascism.

    And right now, that same strategy is being used to keep the disillusioned from joining up with the left by amplifying the “fuck you, you’re irredeemable” responses to the ones starting to see Trump for who he is.




  • And they didn’t gaf when Spain was going through a civil war over the same shit. Hitler and Stalin both sent support for the side they were closer to, but just crickets from the rest of the western world, less than even the stern words Italy got for invading Ethiopia until the league of nations just dissolved because it was shown to be useless.




  • I bet that the question depends more on management than the customers or type of work.

    Like a good manager that doesn’t take shit from customers will be way better than the ones that bend over backwards for any complaint.

    Same thing for the ones who are chill as long as things are getting done vs the one that is more interested in seeing the illusion of work being done even if things are neglected (because all their attention is making sure people look busy rather than really understanding the work to evaluate results).
