I'm stoked to read that Saga (the comic) will be continued next year. It was too damn long of a wait.

@adiwan Will it still be drawn by Fiona Staples ?
And Yes I almost only remember her name because I made a funny about how Shrek's girlfriend would use a staple gun as weapon in Disney's Magnetized-figurine game.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony I haven't read any information on that but I am pretty much sure she will draw on that comic until the end of the series. With a few exceptions writer-artist pairings at Image comics never change (one exception is Rat Queens that I also read).

I've never lived through a presidential assassination. It could be fascinating, who knows?

@scribus I technically have. No it was not shot on camera, but here is an incident of what happened prior. Oddly enough noone thought to up security around him for some reason
https://youtu.be/uocDk3Ydhkg?t=25
I happened to be in the Netherlands when he was killed. He would have been voted the Prime Minister if he would have lived through the election process because enough people still voted for him even though he was dead.
For normal civilian life nothing happened that day which was out of the ordinary.
Meanwhile a friend of mine lived through the 2016 Turkish coup d'etat attempt while being in Ankara. Which was frightning for ALL the reasons you could think of.

@drinkingpony Then you'll probably like that game. It's available for XBox360, PS3, and Wii U. I'm currently playing that on the Wii U although I also have it on the XBox360. The Wii U version runs slightly smoother due to having more RAM than the 360.

Shower Thought : What a terrible world we live in where if "Charles J Guiteau" comes up as a topic and someone says "Who ?" it pretty much is the quickest to explain it by saying "John Wilkes Booth" or "Gravrilo Princip" of 1881 in America.
Actually, having said that out loud, I wonder who is more infamous if you were to ask some random person in the middle of eastern Europe. Gravrilo Princip, or John Wilkes Booth.Thursday, 03-Oct-19 13:43:01 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

Split of the moment thought : How long did it take Twitter to become profitable or even sustainable anyway ?
dig dig dig
Almost 12 years ! First profitable Q was Q4 of 2018. And here I was having the shadow-thought that everyone would lose their account if the thing goes under anyway.Wednesday, 02-Oct-19 22:54:31 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony That's actually kind of my point. For as many, and as diverse, options as there are, Twitter seems to have an outsized importance in the world's affairs.
-
@scribus I have to imagine it’s because, unlike Reddit and 4chan and in some ways unlike tumblr and Facebook, Twitter is a single ecosystem. There are no groups, there’s no structural division, they don’t have a separate directory for anything... it’s like writing o a very, very, very big wall, and everyone else in the world is writing on the same wall.
-
@scribus I think I kinda see what you mean, but in the same breath it was not Twitter that got scrutinized after a certain madman besmirched one of my favourite Initial D songs somewhere over in New Zealand. Those were 8Chan, Kiwifarms, Facebook, Discord and 9gag.
Actually Discord is having a really double reason there.
Not to mention that there are enough people around that hate the Twitter Verified Blue Checkmark ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875246 ) seeing it as a "blue pill" or "Loony Lefty approved club"
It is actually that specific part where I think you are wrong when you say "Twitter is a single ecosystem. There are no groups," ( @mrmattimation @notice/5464941) . But you are right in that it's like a cocktail party with everyone, there is no structural division. Just a battle over who has the most trending hashtag. Unless if you want to count popularism and realize that if you are a nobody with the greatest thing to say, you will still be ignored.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

Oh no, Steam lied to me about the installation/download time. Either that or it did not go up while I was playing a game.
Wait, that was not on ? [ uploads PNG ] that thing in yellow. I guess that means it is on a per-install basis and not on a per-account basis.
Thanks a lot Steam. I mean it is not like the game which I was playing, which was Oxygen Not Included ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875243 ) requires ANYTHING from the internet or the hard-drive. Seen as the only thing it really requires is a CPU and RAM, like a cutesie version of Dwarf Fortress, in space ! :D http://rainbowdash.net/url/875244

Especially with the amount of followers he has RN just because he holds that office it would be quite, ehmm, bothersome to say the least.

Why are people in that twitter thread sharing a picture of the 1972 election and treating it like a victory ? ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875240 )
I mean if it is a quip about how Trump is a crook then they pretty much say 25% of the people inside of the U.S.A. to be stupid ( 56% of America voted, out of which roughly half voted for Trump ).
You garner no good will with those people, and you want those people to NOT vote Trump in 2020. So that is pretty much the equivallent of a 12 year old throwing a temper tantrum going "YOU'RE WRONG !"
But hey, I can see their point. But there was a smart and a stupid way to go about it from my perspective. and... "She chose, poorly" ( I kinda thought a Last Crusade quote would fit well, seeing I think the Democrats should rally before they actually become responsible for a Orange-inspired 2nd term )Wednesday, 02-Oct-19 17:12:29 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@mrmattimation Yeah and he was pardoned by Gerald Ford. Do you really think a country like the U.S.A. is going to still have the U in it should something like that happen again somewhere after 2019 ? In the days which I heard coined 'culture warfare'-era ? But you did not even need to bring that up, my original point still stands.

Hmm, interesting. Well it is mostly red, no denying there. We know why all those little districts are red too, so he is not wrong. But we ALSO know that Hillary got the popular vote in about 65,853,514 vs 62,984,828. So if nothing else it's just party grand standing, like an echo chamber.

Jeremy Clarkson criticized the 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg; Clarkson described Thunberg's speech as a "full-on adolescent meltdown," called her a "spoilt brat," and told her to "be a good girl" and "shut up."
But then they had to follow it up with "everybody should remember that he was sacked from 'Top Gear' after the BBC concluded an investigation into 'an unprovoked physical and verbal attack'"

Ohh, got a hunch and guess what I found at the back of my closet. There is a reason why I hoard useful stuff. It's actually a "couteau à pizza", which I guess gives away its original design plan by the person who designed it. But I used it for cheese mostly ( I do not eat a lot of Pizza, though it works like a dream on the crust. Way better than the Borderland 2 Psycho Pizza-thing, no contest ).
I guess I probably break some law of recursive functions by using a utensil the wrong way in the correct way that was designed wrongly by stealing an idea from abbey monks. Ohkay I have NO idea how to untangle that.
Reason why I forgot about my first one ? It got kinda blunt, so I took it with me to some Renaissance faire thingie so I could ask a blacksmith-like person how to proper sharpen it when he gave me some 60 Euro's for it. HAH, like I am going to say no to that.

Legitimacy terrified of a Civil War for two major reasons. 1) The Left has spent the last 30 years infighting over how many letters go in LGBTQIA++, breaking their own fingers rather than forming a fist to stand together. 2) The Right has been Actually At War for as long, with lone wolves gunning down minorities and etc., and the Left STILL CAN'T STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER OVER TRIVIALITIES.

If I have to point a turning point of 'ha-ha' into 'honk' or 'oh my god how terrible' it would have been that one.
Oh right, an example of 'honk' would be http://rainbowdash.net/url/875232 - Washingtontimes - Cannibalism: Scientist says eating humans could save earth. That being only a low tier-'honk'. Most actual 'honk'-ness is SUPER polarising stuff I would not dream to post about.
