Leg presses, you’re absolutely right! I stopped doing those, there’s better ways to work your legs…
Your… knees!? Are you thinking of squats?
I just realized if being writing wrong for years!

Did I say I support billionaire owned press? “Free press”, or the 4th pillar of democracy is a concept. When done correctly, it keeps authorities in check by openly and honestly reporting what is happening with real facts and information.
I’m about as anti-corporation a person as you’ll find, but I don’t think we should be cheering the death of the Free Press. I know it’s edgy to say “it’s already here”, but that’s just not accurate. When true journalists are gone, the only thing left will be propaganda.
Who’s “he”, and where did that quote come from? I only see an image, did I miss an article cross-posted or something?
EDIT: Apparently, it’s from PCWorld.
They’re holding, uhh…
I’m old, but I’m not “financially stable enough to buy a whole-ass rug” old.
Dangerous. Expansive. Beautiful. I’ll struggle there for a while, then inevitably see “YOU DIED” before I try again…
I don’t see how “kill” could be in any other place than last.
You’re not wrong, but keep in mind ChatGPT advocates, including the company itself are referring to it as AI, including in marketing. They’re saying it’s a complete, self-learning, constantly-evolving Artificial Intelligence that has been improving itself since release… And it loses to a 4KB video game program from 1979 that can only “think” 2 moves ahead.
The fact that it’s a laser printer certainly redeems you! I’m dumb and bought a decent Canon printer several years ago (do they still make them?), and have used it a few times since then. I haven’t checked recently, but am 100% certain all the cartridges are dried up. If I ever wanted to use it again, I’d have to blow out all the dust from it, clean the nozzles, buy more of all the colors (even if I’m printing b&w), and align the printing again. So much better to just go to a print shop the few rare times I’ll need it. I don’t want to make assumptions, but I bet that’s the case for most people…
But… then you’re using an HP printer. 🤮
I’m going to throw up.
Thank you, I did read the whole article! You said “It was all a scam setup by his manager.” That’s an exaggeration, if not misinformation. His manager Parker essentially only scammed Elvis, by making it seem he would be able to avoid service.
I also don’t see where it said his manager “convinced the selective service to immediately draft Elvis before his number came up, lying to them that Elvis would be a performer for the army”, but I don’t have access to The Colonel, the source in the article.
Those nitpicks aside, I think they both probably decided it was a shrewd business decision for Elvis to give 2 years of service as a soldier, rather than a performer, especially since Elvis declined Special Services a second time after he was already drafted.
“Scam” is an exaggeration. Your own Wikipedia link shows he declined a cushy entertainment position in Special Services. Twice. He completed the training, which he hated, and broke down in tears on multiple phone calls, describing his homesickness. As the most popular entertainer in the world at the time, he was of course given special privileges, but he was still a soldier. Soldiers have many duties and not all of them engage in direct combat. “Never winding up anywhere remotely near a battle” would have happened with anyone that famous (for political and strategic reasons), and certainly did for other rich, well-connected people…
THANK you. Thought I was going crazy…
