They got my $40 in 2012. I absolutely loved the Wing Commander series; Wing Commander II was an embarrassingly important part of my adolescense, I love space sims, and still had fond enough memories of the name Chris Roberts that I didn't think he'd blatantly lie and steal from me.

How people are still giving these clowns money I have no idea.

My father's middle name is J. Just the letter. His father's name was JQ, just the letters.

Tinfoil hats on? Alrighty then:

All these Verizon outages are intentional and part of the plan to invalidate the 2024 election.

We'll see it happen again on and around election day, maybe xitter will go down too.

Whole voting districts in Georgia won't report in, citing system crashes, security breaches, whatever they feel like making up. Republican Secretaries of State will declare the election compromised before vote counting even starts.

Obviously there's also a hurricane and massive flooding, hence the tinfoil hat, but let's not forget where and when we are in history, and that The Business Plot was a real thing.

Isn't discord just shittier, proprietary IRC? I'm only on it because my Linux distro's dev uses it for communication for some reason, but from what I can tell, it's just a locked-down IRC client you can buy emojis and shit on.

Winamp came with an mp3 file labeled winamp.mp3.

If you played it, it was just someone yelling "Winamp: It really whips the llama's ass."

But can you still play Drug Wars?

It's disgusting. When my son was very young, my wife and I struggled to make ends meet, and got behind on his school lunch payments (I still can't believe that's even a thing). The lunch lady at his school would lecture him about how much we owed, and how he shouldn't get to eat for free just because we were lazy or whatever. He'd come home thinking he was in trouble. America hates poor people.

Short for "boondocks," which just means out in a rural area (or in this case, the far end of the parking lot).

I'm too lazy to look up the etymology though.

Maybe Israel should stop fucking blowing up neighborhoods in Beirut then.
