(11,556 posts)asking for you to sign in or create an account, I just hit the X in the upper right to close out the box and it just opens the link. You can try that to see if it works and if so, you can then be selective about when you actually want to view something enough to give them your very limited traffic. That's what I do.

(4,849 posts)It lets someone read about half a screen, then stops. Zuckbook started doing that a few years ago. I used to. be able to look up old friends there, now it blocks me since I didn't give zuckerthing my PII to exploit.
Meta is evil. How do people become billionaires from "free" services?

(52,742 posts)music is too loud so he goes over with the intention of telling them to turn down the music. Next thing he knows, he's eating their food, holding someone's baby, helping them move furniture and hiring them for a job. As he leaves, the police arrive to investigate and he watches as the abuela hands them a plate of food. They eat before leaving. Final words of the clip, "that woman has some powerful tacos. I still don't know whose baby I was holding."

(15,621 posts)His Hispanic neighbors are holding an afternoon "driveway and garage party" (I assume from later in the story, that's a Big Household Chore get-together) with loud music.
He goes over to ask them to turn the music down.
Before he knows it, it's a couple hours later and getting dark, he's eaten two heaping plates of Chile Verde, has held someone's baby for 30 minutes, and strained his back helping move the refrigerator from the kitchen into the garage and the one from the garage into the kitchen.
The party is wrapping up when two local cops pull up on a noise complaint; Abuela totters out with two plates of "taco burritos" (Mulates, I think), they sit down in the folding chairs and eat, and then go on their way.
And the guy, still straight-faced as if he's describing a serious finishes up with "and I still don't know whose baby that was..."
What he described was a typical every other Friday Night in my trailer park estate neighborhood. Though it's not always Hispanic. If Laz or the grandkids sees a neighbor starting a home improvement project and it looks like they're calling in friends or neighbors with trucks, they'll often go over to help and come back with homemade Samosas, Empanadas, bowls of Pho or Lumpia...
I love living in a neighborhood full of immigrants. You can eat your way around the world without getting out of a one mile radius.
And I've learned how to insult MAGA in 14 different languages.
