They got my $40 in 2012. I absolutely loved the Wing Commander series; Wing Commander II was an embarrassingly important part of my adolescense, I love space sims, and still had fond enough memories of the name Chris Roberts that I didn't think he'd blatantly lie and steal from me.

How people are still giving these clowns money I have no idea.

I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and will never make that mistake again.

My father's middle name is J. Just the letter. His father's name was JQ, just the letters.

Have you ever voted? Like, gone to the voting booth and voted? How about attended a caucus or primary? Because I regularly do, I'm 45, and I'm typically the youngest person in the building.

The US voting base is old as fuck.

Tinfoil hats on? Alrighty then:

All these Verizon outages are intentional and part of the plan to invalidate the 2024 election.

We'll see it happen again on and around election day, maybe xitter will go down too.

Whole voting districts in Georgia won't report in, citing system crashes, security breaches, whatever they feel like making up. Republican Secretaries of State will declare the election compromised before vote counting even starts.

Obviously there's also a hurricane and massive flooding, hence the tinfoil hat, but let's not forget where and when we are in history, and that The Business Plot was a real thing.

Isn't discord just shittier, proprietary IRC? I'm only on it because my Linux distro's dev uses it for communication for some reason, but from what I can tell, it's just a locked-down IRC client you can buy emojis and shit on.

A political science class I attended in the early 2000s focused on terrorism, and the professor described power grids as being a pretty big target in general, but especially for right wing hate groups.

This has always been part of the plan for the Turner Diaries militia weirdos.

It's spelled Manchin. OP was criticizing the spelling/bad pun

Winamp came with an mp3 file labeled winamp.mp3.

If you played it, it was just someone yelling "Winamp: It really whips the llama's ass."
