No apparent objections from the HOA.

I thought this was a Babylon Bee article from the headline.

It’s gotten worse here, too. It just happened more gradually so nobody noticed.

Wait until they discover the cat videos on youtube. Famine on the way.

#MeToo! The Bee stings even when it doesn't.

(A reclusive tribe in the Amazon finally got hooked up to the internet)

Now they can order stuff ... from Amazon.

Porn and social media. Of course. LOL!

It’s a fine line, innit.

The Bee, Mel Brooks, Monty Python..?

Is that like selling ice to Eskimos?

“”It’s gotten worse here, too. It just happened more gradually so nobody noticed.””

Hope they never get smart phones down there - they’ll really be in trouble. Yes, the internet has good but also a lot of “bad”. I’m surprised they have the equipment to access the internet; electricity? I think the cell phones are a bigger menace to society - stage a violent event, film it, post it - IMMEDIATE recognition...

Saw some footage this a.m., of illegals crossing the border - with phones. I know the phones may be provided to them but who pays for the service - who gets the bill?

Sounds like they’ll be Marubing one out pretty often from now on.

I struggle to believe that it’s not.

noticing a LOT of ethnic people videos (usually from asian folks) of ‘struggling young single mothers’ who must do everything to care for her children- while supposedly avoiding criminal men who seem to be everywhere, and attack without abandon even though a camera is catching it all lol-

It’s all fake- every day there is a new ‘life threatening disaster’ that the woman needs to solve or escape from-

I looked it up, and its estimated that all these ‘young single vulnerable young mothers’ in the videos are getting abotu $1000 or so a month if they can get the clicks- a lot of the previews show their young child being eaten by a huge snake, or dangling off a cliff, or the woman beign attacked by men etc-

pure theater-

And just like that -- Richard Dreyfuss has the premise for a new movie.

There’s a wonderful movie about people in remote places all over the world watching the Soccer World Cup. In the Sahara they ride a bus, with people hanging off the roof to the only place within hundreds of miles to hook up their tiny black and white TV. I Mongolia they travel on horse back to a Russian guard house. In the Amazon primitive natives sneak through the judge to watch it at an Argentinian guardhouse where the electricity is run by a guy on a bicycle running the generator. Cool movie.
