@zx3 I'm gonna guess Jeffrey Jacquet just because that's the coolest option. :D

@xinjinmeng Yup, basically ALL the negative comments in its Wikipedia "Reception" section are classic 80s moral panic..

Gods help me, I'm about to watch a show about "computer hackers" from 1983...

"Bullshit makes the flowers grow, and that's beautiful."

If you're trying to express your sense that we're all doomed... maybe sharing a song from fifty years ago about how we were all doomed *then* is not the most persuasive way to go about it?

If this is still the Eve of Destruction... man, it's been one long eve.

BOOMERS: make dehumanizing overgeneralizations about diverse groups of people that ultimately inhibit empathy and social progress and only hurt good people in the target group who don't fit the stereotype

GEN XERS: are instead clean and upright people blessed with good looks, incisive intellects, an unswerving innate sense of morality, and just an all around richer personhood, because you can totally predict this sort of thing from a fucking two-digit number

Do they have one for "hate-missing" somebody?

@typhlosion as a former encyclopedia dramatica exhibit i am with you 100 percent, fuck kiwifarms and all who resemble it

every one of those sites, ive waited five yrs and laughed my ass off at how many of their admins had been arrested for genuinely, deeply shitty things; i suspect kf's day is also coming

@LexYeen@snouts.online That crowd is some of my favorite prey. So many embarrassing, uncomfortable factoids about the Spartans to rub in their faces...

@hummingrain Also, it's a pity they didn't have Enter The Gungeon when we were growing up. Stealing from the shopkeeper in ETG is MUCH more gratifying...

@Phorm I was hoping for Brick Top to feed him to his pigs, honestly. Trump needs to run afoul of some TRUE evil, evil with far more experience and cunning than he'll ever have.

@Phorm Seriously. If THESE guys get it wrong, shivs get involved. :O

(Or at least, that's what Guy Ritchie films have taught me. ^_^;; )

I challenge you...

@mawr FInally, my wasted youth watching MTV for eight-hour stretches pays off!

Huh. Saw several headlines today saying that European bookies have cut Trump's odds in 2020 dramatically. He's still running something like 5-4 in favor, but that's quite a downturn, and it's mostly COVID/market so it's likely to continue.

This is very encouraging news for me. The drop in Hillary's odds on a major Irish bookmaking site was my first hint that we might not win in 2016. These guys have a LOT riding on being right. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

@Aradia Honestly... if you were in Michigan or something, I'd be very upset with you and fleeing to Telegram, hoping to win the argument with you that I keep losing with my parents.

But you're not. You're in Washington. You're one of the people who can safely do this. I'm fine with it, honestly. I can not really imagine Biden losing WA State. He's up 23 points in last week's SurveyUSA poll. I think there's a very valid argument to be made for your decision.

@Phorm I mean, CNN and Quinnipac just had Biden up by 10 in the popular vote... but I have zero idea atm how that will shake up past the Slavery Preserver oops I mean Electoral College. >___<
