so some people are saying, if a woman said the following:

"I don't want to date bi men", they are a bigot

What do you see it as? Obviously there's no rape depicted in that scene, but that kiss was quite clearly not consensual, and at the end of the scene it is implied that he's going to blackmail her into fucking him or else lose her job. Unless there's some context missing in that scene this seems to be a clear case of Bond forcing himself on a woman in one of the older movies.

yeah so that's called rape. it happens off-screen, which doesn't make it ok

PE at my high school was "the washed up baseball coach reads the paper while you either play basketball or lift weights with no direction" which was totally useful, I learned a lot.

so the class needs to be run better, rather than removed?

I'm confused, was this supposed to prove something? I said most places in NY are expensive, not all. Utica has a population of about 60k while the population of NY is about 8 mil, not exactly representative. Some of those apartments are fairly expensive besides and the ones that are extremely cheap I wouldn't necessarily trust without a reference.

You said "Most of New York is pretty expensive though, not $5k/mo expensive but still."

Manhattan (And NYC in general) is a very small part of the state. Also "fairly expensive" obviously, is relative, but its far, far below the Manhattan numbers. As someone who has lived in/near Boston all my life pretty much (except now, where I live in much cheaper Memphis - soooooo much better), I'd say those prices aren't too bad at all. Also, my point was about the living in the blue state thing that people were talking about - living far from a huge city in a blue state will give you the blue state perks (e.g., control of your body) without having to pay a ton. It's just that people don't think of upstate as being New York, so I was bringing that option up.

I recommend this AVR

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/yamaha-5-1-ch-4k-ultra-hd-a-v-home-theater-receiver-black/6198554.p?skuId=6198554

its what i have and its great.

just know that the Sub woofer cable is different. its this:
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Subwoofer-Cable-35-Feet/dp/B01D5H8IIU

but yes, get enough wires, make sure they match on both ends (so red on receiver, red on speaker) and just plug everything in.

now, all your HDMI devices will plug into the receiver and itll have a single output to the TV. hopefully you have a newer TV so CEC works but if not, have fun juggling remotes lol. think of the AVR as splitting off the audio to the speakers, and the video to the TV.

am I connecting the receiver to the speakers, or the subwoofer to the speakers? or can I do either?

The wires I got just generic wires, which I assume will be fine as long as I match the terminals. I read something about needing Y-splitters or something, will I need any of those (I plan on using HDMI, so I don't need that, I what I'm thinking...)?

HDMI for each device into the receiver, then one HDMI out to the TV. If your TV has a port labelled for ARC make sure to use that if you're using any apps on your TV

does the receiver have a switch for which input i'm using (like i would for video on the TV)? and if i wanted to hook, say, my laptop into the TV, can I get that sound into the receiver/speaker system?

also, I see an HDMI eARC slot - I assume based on what you're saying, I want to plug that one into the receiver. if I do that, I can get 5.1 sound? and it looks like maybe i need an HDMI 2.1 cord specifically to take advantage of this?

You will connect the receiver to the TV with the red/black cable you mentioned I think, and then you will run speaker wires from all the speakers into the receiver.

so i bought this:

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Channel-Satellite-Speakers-Subwoofer/dp/B007YLQUWK

I wanted to watch movies and play games and such with surround sound on my TV.

Now I realize that I don't really know what I'm doing. First of all, there are only a couple of cords they give me (like one pair of red/black I think). For these speakers, am I correct in understanding that i'll essentially need 5 sets of wires? The speakers all have these like red/black prongs but they don't really look like ports to plug into. But I don't think they are wireless...so I think I need something.

Also, I think I need an AV receiver for this to actually work? If that's the case, would something liek this work?

https://www.amazon.com/Sony-STRDH590-multi-channel-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B078WG7HZY/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=sony+av+receiver&qid=1657749038&s=electronics&sprefix=sony+av+re%2Celectronics%2C81&sr=1-2

If that's the case, I need to buy this, and then like 5 sets of wires (for sub, 4 speakers, 2 sets of which need to be incredibly long so I can run them around the room?), and then I if I plug that all in, I should be good? What kinds of cables should I be buying - would someone be able to show me a link...

I'm so confused, and definitely in over my head on this =/

There is absolutely zero sensible reason for Biden not to do this.

Weed legalization is one of the only bipartisan political positions this country has with around 70% of the country give or take in favor of full legalization.

Get these people out of our horrible prison system and help them find employment and housing.

The only way you could possibly "defend" Biden on this (or any president ever) is that he is waiting to use it as a political card to maximize it's potential value to him. I kind of have a hard time looking at Biden and seeing him as anyone who looks at much beyond his own political career. Granted, that doesn't exactly make him any different than the vast majority of politicians.

near election time is when it will happen, in my opinion
