    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I'm not sure he can be any more miserable than he already is every waking minute of his life. I'm starting to suspect he made a literal deal with the Devil at some point that guarantees he'll never face any real consequences for his actions but, in return, is cursed to be a paranoid wreck for...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    How 'bout we just regulate capitalism clear the hell out of existence instead.

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    I appreciated the twist near the end of Tomb Raider, to the point of making me wish they had thought of it for the game. But then I suppose they'd have been on the hook to have every subsequent game resolve in a similar way, whereas they could just not make any more movies.

    Apparently $7500 is all a human life's worth these days.

    Disney animation and related media

    That also makes Pete now the oldest character to appear in any Disney park. I thought he was a holdover from the Oswald era, but I looked it up just now and it turns out he's even older than that, having actually debuted in one of the Alice shorts (which explains why Walt never lost the rights...

    The Last of Us - Part 1

    I haven't seen any footage firsthand (the Super Best Friends broke up before it came out), but from what I've heard, it's like if a bunch of fans who completely missed the point of the first game created a fangame that somehow got picked up and published. Despite the fact that it was, as far as...

    The Last of Us - Part 1

    I just had a horrifying thought. This isn't over, is it. There's no way the own-fart-huffing morons at Naughty Dog were going to let their baby get made into a TV show unless they also agreed to cover the events of the horrible sequel. Especially not after they insisted on rebranding the...

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    I doubt anything productive would have come of shutting them out. It's not like you're preventing them from going on air and telling their lies anyway. All it served to do was antagonize them even more. And then Trump, Mr. "I'm going to be the exact polar opposite of Obama", spent his entire...

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    I was wondering if movie Mario's voice would end up like movie Sonic's horrible character model, and they'd redo the whole thing in response to the fan complaints. Except that would require recasting their main character, and I'm sure they were locked into a contract with Pratt. Best they could...

    Why, why, why?

    "Permanent DST" means even more months of having to get up before sunrise; is that really what you want? Meanwhile who cares if the sun goes down before dinner for a few months? It's winter; no one wants to be outside anyway. I'm for permanent standard time.

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    There's an argument to be made that people of privilege spend too little time around those who are different from them, and that prejudice stems from being able to concoct an imaginary idea of what they're like in their heads without any firsthand evidence to contradict it. And that that's why...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    I think it's fair to expect our highest level of government to be staffed exclusively by people with at least a BS in Political Science, ideally a Master's.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    I've heard of sites being so badly programmed that basic features are a huge drain on resources. For example, there was one site where, any time a popular user made a post, it caused a lag spike as the server generated the thousands of notification messages for all their followers. The only way...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Even aside from everything else, I think it speaks volumes about how horribly our system has failed that someone who didn't even finish high school is now a member of Congress.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    No doubt most of these people will get slaps on the wrist, but I feel a little better knowing they've at least gone after as many people as they could identify. Also, not surprised most of the cops just let them waltz in with almost no resistance. I think that ought to be more widely known and...

    Adventures in home computing!

    Update: What the actual jive. So, I realized that the heatsinks on the rest of these computers probably needed a good vacuuming out just like that one did, so I shut down my main system, opened it up, took it all the way apart and scrubbed it down as thoroughly as I've ever done to anything...
