@coolboymew Let me help with that: There were two Ren and Stimpys. The original in '91, and the adult version in '03, which was essentially direct to DVD.
@matrix There's getting the plane off the runway, and then there's setting off rockets to escape orbit.
The other fitting explanation is the right getting *so* pissed over 2008 that *they* kicked off the culture war. I said in 2015 that Trump will almost certainly win because a large number of his votes aren't votes for him, but a "punishment" for electing Obama.
So really, pick your poison. Occam's razor suggests the rich got spooked. You should see some of the provocateurs that were sitting in the IRC channels for the occupy stuff. FBI also crawled up my ass for hosting those channels. @Moon
@matrix I've played just over 6,000 games on my current League account I've had since 2018.
A League match can last anywhere from 15-40 minutes. Assuming 20 minutes per game we get a conservative estimate of 2,000 hours, or two AOL free trials.
@condret@fcktheworld587 I feel like there are ways to address social mobility that do not involve kicking people down, or making it socially okay to subjugate them, because their grandparents were statistically less likely to be fucked over by the system that fucks over most people.
For example, how many people were lifted out of poverty when I was ostracized by the entire fediverse? I can't imagine a whole hell of a lot. And yet social justice and protection of marginalized groups was cited as the reason.
@fcktheworld587 To put it a bit more concisely: I'll take being called names online if it means I'm first in line for jobs, because there's a literal government punishment for not hiring a sufficient amount of me.
I'll take being the ire of 4chan if it means it's this side of a crime to criticize me anywhere else.
But of course, in such a system, *someone* has to be the punching bag. *Someone* needs to be what it is okay to attack when you're mad or just a sociopath. This is because this system isn't designed to achieve what it claims to be its goals by lifting people up, it's designed to achieve its goals by knocking others down. And it happily punches some of the lowest in society, because they share some attributes with some people who used to be at the top. What a crime.
In my ideal world, it's either okay to shit on everybody, or it's not okay to shit on anybody.
@coolboymew Bruh almost half of these connections make no sense. And a lot of those are "it should be connected directly, not through something else" (Richard and Mortimer)
This six degrees shit means I can make this about literally anything @MercurialBlack
I'm a Linux sysadmin, a Python developer, a comedian, and a FOSS proponent. A clown with a technical background. But above all else, I'm an Ekko one-trick. He means the whole world to me. I'm not ignoring you; Your instance admins probably won't let you talk to me, even if you want to. This is because I don't believe anybody is above criticism. If I don't reply within a day, hit me up on email or from another instance. I shitpost, and I protect Ekko. This is my purpose.
