The lesson: some people just like disruption, and equate being against the status quo with being better than the status quo. I think any left-leaning candidate who tries to court these people in the future should tread very carefully.

They care more about the headlines you produce than your policies.

No, what they're saying is that their situation can't get much worse than it already is

There's also a theory that the word "camel" in that passage was a mistranslation of a type of rope. IE it's easier to thread a needle with a full cord of rope than for a rich man to get into heaven. The metaphor still works the same, but now it doesn't rely on an in joke about one specific gate in Jerusalem.

Despite the fact that im not christian, I love when jesus preaches against hoarding wealth because they are totally reasonable guidelines for equitable living in a community, and most christians just totally ignore it

People thought the world was actually ending

When I heard about megalopolis I thought Coppola was remaking this movie

Maybe not the actual biggest, but the loss of pirated material that i feel the most sad about is The Trove. The Trove was a website with a huge list of downloadable PDFs of source books for tabletop RPGs. I got the pdfs for everything DND, and also tried a bunch of other games I'd never heard of with a few friends. It also had downloads for other books and documents but I only used it for RPGs. I think it went down in 2019 or so.

Reminds me of the beach scene in Top Secret!

I'm 100% in agreeance, making each character's storyline its own game is the best move, it'll get more attention than a Bachelor DLC. I was more surprised to learn that the Bachelor's route wasn't a dead project! And also very cool that kickstarter people get the game for free.

Damn, and here I thought they were still only 1/3 done with Pathologic 2

So-called "originalist" judges rub their hands together and do that evil grin when they get a chance to reinterpret laws in ways that benefit their political allies.

The ultimate centrist

This whole time, I've been seeing West on polls and assuming Kanye West was still on the ballot

My Biology teacher actually made us read that one. Big sci fi nerd, that guy. I haven't read Chrysalids, I'll have to check it out

Blood Music absolutely terrified me as a freshman in high school

That's Jack from Lost. Totally not related to the meme, idk why they used this image lol. I believe this is the episode where he becomes a drunk and tries to convince everyone that they need to go back to the island

You may want to use a higher resolution image if you want to demonstrate this effectively

Thanks for all the updates!

I'm sure that's part of it. I think also the last Fyre festival became such a sensation that people actually did wish they had gone just to be able to say they were there. For people with lots of money and nothing better to do, maybe thats all that matters

Fuck yeah bro. I'm about to break my social media addiction with an even more powerful addiction
