In the 70s Nixon ordered nuclear strikes that were ignored by military officials because he wasn’t seen as being mentally fit to make those decisions (Richard Nixon was, of course, an alcoholic). We didn’t know about the orders until decades later. Have fun thinking about that one while you sleep tonight!

@mrmattimation Yeah if you strip down the story of details and essentials I can make anyone ( even you ) seem like a total incompetent bubbling buffoon that could play as antagonist in a Mark Groening cartoon somehow.
I do not know all the details. But I do know that North Korea shot down a 'Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star' ( essentially the 1950's version of what we understand now as AWACS ) and killed some 30 something Americans.
Some FBI agent noted how he became 'obsessed' with the EC-121 incident.
When Richard Nixon got on the phone to order PLANS for a tactical nuclear strike and target recomendations however, Henry Kissinger got the JCOS to pull a 25th amendment untill at least he sobered up. Probably because he sounded drunk.
I heard that he forgot about the B61 attached to the F-4 in Kunsan Air Base.
I like doing Trivia night with you tho.
Can we talk about Vasiki Arkhipov next ?Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

If your level design still makes something a 20-minute task for a speedrunner, it might be a pain in the gorram ass

@scribus GTA SA is super bad about this, speed runners usually resort to killing themselves to warp to hospitals around the state but even then the boundaries dictating where you respawn don’t make as much sense as people like, especially in the countryside portions of the game, where it’s essentially a crapshoot figuring out where you’ll respawn.

Tbh I think that the fact that real X-Wings have taken flight is proof that Disney needs to be stopped.

@mrmattimation Really ? That is the point where you go "I think Disney might have gone too far" ?
I won't rant at you for hours on end about how Rey Skywalker is a gigantic Mary Sue, or that Oscar Isaac is going to be GLAD to be gone from the franchise soon enough, or how everyone is expecting John Boyega to squeal like a piggy about how bad Disney is before long enough ( I honestly have higher hopes for Mark Hamill )... or hell, the parks...
Instead, Disney could not even secure the 'rights' to do these cargo-drone flyby 'stunts' for longer than just the weekend because the FAA does not want them to.
And after some contractor hired a contractor to install the trackless system upside down ( which meant the concrete needed to be torn out ) or the MULTIPLE breakdowns of Rise of the Resistance ( because it needed more time in the oven before being ready for prime-time ) I am not sure if I can blame ANYONE for thinking Disney is too fat&bloated&incompetent.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@mrmattimation I say it doesn't count until they are capable of space flight, THEN it's too far. But I'll still hold out for warp capabilities.

@mrmattimation Does Swole Foods take place in a real fake Virginia town or a fake fake one? I'm working on a series of novels in a fake San Bernardino, CA, myself, just curious about other people's home state integration or whatever.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@scribus It’s a fake town that’s an amalgamation of several real towns in Northern Virginia, mostly the suburbs around Fairfax and Loudoun counties. Swole Foods itself is based on a real grocery chain based in Maryland. The skyline that you see in the cartoons and some comics is wholly made up and I’m not sure if that’s the town itself or if it’s just a city that you can see FROM the town, like Arlington or something.

@drinkingpony I went in to give my side of the story shortly after posting that, the investigation’s over now. I urged them to check the cameras but they were able to close it just on the merits of my unprepared story (I was caught pretty much off-guard when I came into work this morning) just lined up better than the customer’s story, which I’m sure he rehearsed to himself over and over before he came in.

Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
I was bored, I spend some time trying to learn what is what in that. I am sorry to say @mrmattimation was not exactly forthcoming with the information. Unless if dogs sniffing crotches is a more common occurrence. @scribus It is WAY more complicated than that.
In short. Alinity posted a video of Luna ( her dog ) sniffing her cooch for a good 8 seconds while she was doing some sort of yoga position on Twitter. Then later deleted it off of twitter, but it was also on her Twitch, which she apparently did not delete or deleted WAY later. this was in week 48 of 2019. Then in week 49 suddenly PETA started to "Demand" that she was going to be banned. She was never banned.
My sources, pretty much, Discord, http://rainbowdash.net/url/875365 http://rainbowdash.net/url/875366 PETA's twitter, This streamer's twitter & twitch.
But we still need some sort of exterminators to come over "Yeah, we have what we professionals call a 'THOT infestation' going on"
Oh, also NSFW warning, not really sure.

Not to mention that EVERYONE ( and their mum ) are extremely on edge because of the seasonal festivities and the outside cold.

Old Chinese guy who threatened to sue me a few weeks back came in today looking for vitamins that help with your memory. He must need them, because he asked me three separate times where the vitamins were. Then he tried to pay with the gift card I offered him a few weeks back, but he didn’t have the gift card, just an activation slip. I told him there isn’t enough information on the activation slip for me to charge the gift card, he tells me he never got a gift card. I tell him, sir, you’re holding the activation slip for the gift card. He says “you lie to me, i not lie to you, you mistreat customers, you bad man” and leaves. One of the more bizarre things to happen to me this week.

@mrmattimation Senate rule XXV. It comes up every few years, the laughter I mean. Barbara Boxer and Pat Robert's cases specfically. Eventually they'll find some poor sodding excuse to bend the rules a wee bit or some poor excuse for a politician to dump there for a while. The ones that stand out in the game of politics do not stay in there for long. Look at Mitch McConnell or Harry Reid. Gotta climb up that ladder somehow. Even if that means, to quote Dinozzo from NCIS from the start of season six "Being the only cop on a Carrier isn't in any way a 'fun' thing to do, especially for this salary".

@scribus That heavily depends on the person really. Heck I have a friend who did a drone obstacle course like that and behaved like a pro. I also have a friend who nearly fell off of her chair after 2 minutes of playing Mario Kart on a huge projector screen.
I have a suspicion that it has something to do with how fast you become queezy after sitting on a merry-go-round.

You know the scene in racing movies where you're coming in to the finish line, and you get a flat tire, then you spin out and hit the wall and get airborne and land on your nose and spin a couple times, finally ending up facing the wrong way on the infield? Yeah, my #NaNoWriMo project did that to me at 40,000.

I left my phone at a Best Buy in the next town over for four hours for a super simple screen replacement and I came back and they told me to drive to the hellmouth that is Reston, Virginia, which is a seven hour drive away from me (approx. two miles), because my phone is one millimeter too big to fit in their fancy machine they use to pull screens off. I despise the Geek Squad, they have literally never helped me with anything.
