*He cheated us and we want our money.
Well yeah. It makes sense when you remember that these people buy that bad things happen because God is unhappy with us. The economy is suffering, because we let drag queens read to children, and that offends God. It’s just the same magical thinking as followers of Apollo trying to appease their god. But now it’s being hijacked by much bigger and more complex political and propoganda machine.
… For non-rich people.
Well growing up in Utah there’s a lot of people that would not tolerate anything. Gotos are Princess Bride, Sandlot, most Disney movies.
Excellent suggestion. One of my favorites.
Exactly, a millennial has now clue about the newfangled kids stuff. Just hit “close friends”
To be fair a hotplate could play games better than a p4 and do it while staying cooler.
I have a box with 10 old laptops that I keep around, just for that. Unreal tournament 2004, Insane, Brood Wars and all the Id classics. I don’t get to set it up a lot, but when I do it’s always a hit.
Something definitely happened in the 70s. The civil rights movement of the 60s, seemed to spark a principal skinner moment. Plus Watergate and push back against Vietnam. “Could we be out of touch? No it’s the children”
Communism’s boogeyman effect was wearing off, and the conservatives needed some new material. Racism is always a good lever. So you get the southern strategy, Powell memorandum, Heritage Foundation, and the seeds for what will become Fox News.
I think there’s a good argument for the early 70s as a starting point.
Eh, it’s the culmination of decades of planning and scheming by the Heritage Foundation and others. Donald Trump is just a symptom. Sometimes a single symptom overshadows the whole disease.
Ummm, it’s just a rule. What’s to prevent any future president from undoing the rule? It needs to be a law to protect people, and good luck with this house.
Purchase? Sailing the high seas… I mean libraries. Libraries have all the best books.
Excellent questions. I’d be more likely to donate if there was a page answering them.
That joke takes me back. Had to double check if I was on slashdot.
Wasn’t the first, Ross Perot had a huge following here in rural Utah for that very reason.
Both. I make them as gifts, or just to try out a new box or sbc.
Does a hot wife that pole dances count? But yeah, I built an arcade machine and have a problem with building emulator consoles
Well yeah, we can’t allow government agencies to work properly, because then it would invalidate their claim that all government agencies are shitty and inefficient.
