Generally speaking the customer is the one paying for the product. For a commercial TV station, the customer is the advertiser, not the audience. The audience is the product being sold. Like IKEA felling trees to build furniture, or Exxon pumping oil, the TV station makes programmes as part of the product manufacturing process.

Also, this is a reason why public service broadcasters need to be cherished.

Something, something, neighbour’s lawn, sprinkler, something.

I’m already in a number of communities about beige nineties computers, thank you very much.

This is also a great money-saving tip if you’re preparing a meal that uses loads of boiled eggs and boiled potatoes and also are in an area where water costs a lot but not so much that you’ll stop boiling eggs and potatoes in it altogether but would see saving a panful of it as a benefit which, personally, I find highly relatable as I am currently trapped in a desert that has eggs and potatoes instead of sand and also please send help.

I just do that dog thing where I hitch my legs up and use my arms to drag my ass down the hallway runner.

What if I want other people to fight me?

Try too think more carefully in case you make a comment that’s to controversial.

I’m sure it won’t just be anot- why, you little scamp!

I shidded and farded.

Not to be confused with Esteemed Character Actress Margo Martindale?

Honestly? Coins and cash are good examples of fungible tokens. The deeds to a property are a good example of a non-fungible token. We’ve been using them for years without dickhead cryptobros being involved.

Nope! Not even that. Just an agreement between the scam arti- sorry, seller and the dumbfuc- sorry, buyer, that the rights to something have changed hands. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is almost certainly the case.

BUT

If I were an admissions officer and got an application like the one hinted at I’d probably put the time into a rejection like this since it’s clearly what the sender was really after. I mean, it’s clear fake, but I kind of wish it wasn’t
