It's from Guards! Guards! :)

“Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia. And stupidity, too. They’ve all sworn the oath, he thought, but not a man jack of ’em has even asked what a figgin is.”

GNU TPratchett.
He certainly knew what's up!

Damnit this would've been my immediate response, too.

Well, this is actually the easy mode. On hard you see lettuce next to a politician's face.

Brilliant :D

Hey OP, here is some serious DD you might like

The Sim X: Terror from the derp. Yeah no Jake, we want a successor to X-COM Apocalypse if you don't mind.

I do not believe asking questions should be labeled as a crisis.

Very sound advice.

Pointing to the ToS / EULA like we are in a fucking South Park episode, LMAO

We're on a run.
Cannabis decriminialized, now abortion legalization (shoutout to our french neighbours for setting the pace!), Deutschlandticket, energy gets decarbonized (yes, former governments made some mistakes there...) and the list goes on.

All that to be killed off because the fucking boomers will vote "conservative" next year, the country is moving too fast for them or some BS, LMAO.

Fight furries with furries?

I don't find that bizarre at all, it's what he is going to do!

Took long enough for an Archer reference ITT. Thanks.

some clinical psychologists or psychiatrists (iirc) gave a pretty decent breakdown of how trump is breaking down mentally.

this one here?

In Germany, we have a word for that: "Leidensdruck" and I think that's beautiful.

"They thought they were free"...

Tencent only got preference shares AFAIK (i.e. they can't vote with them).

Pff, just define your own cascade with @layers :)

Best advice I can give: Don't use CSS directly, use a pre-processor like SASS/SCSS. It really helps keeping things sane and somewhat organized.

I had time to think for a bit. Please be advised that I'm not an American citizen and the following is purely conjecture.
Basically, I believe the US is FUBAR. There are 4 possible scenarios for the 5th of November:

• Trump gets so demented it's getting impossible to get him propped up, he has to concede somewhere around that time
• Trump finally gets thrown in jail, before election day
• Biden wins - right now it looks like it would be a close call
• Trump wins

The article mentions, as many have before, that the "conservative" way of "thinking" has become purely emotional. So what do you think will happen if either of the three first will come true? Someone will seize the day and shout some bullshit conspiracy or another and now 20-30% of your emotionally driven population will get set to "angry" and "revenge".
If he simply wins: Mission accomplished!

Now that I've thought a bit more, even (maybe especially?) if Biden wins in a landslide, the conspiracy spin could even be made stronger. Yikes. It might be the time of troubles on a very large scale and I reaaaaaaaaaly hope I'm totally wrong with all this!
