Right, they aren’t boring by any means, it’s just before they started getting really experimental.

Though they were smoking TONS of weed during Help! and you can def tell that something was different imo. Meeting with Bob Dylan fundamentally changed them.

So where are all the 3D TVs? Where’s the Nintendo Virtual Boy? Betamax? Google Wave? Google+? NFTs?

Oh not transformational enough?

Ok then how long did it take electric vehicles to come back after The fossil fuel industry killed them in like 1920?

Oh here’s a good one: thalidomide. That one went away for good.

How about the hole in the ozone layer?

Sorry, AI is only a foregone conclusion because apparently everyone’s had their consent beautifully manufactured to an extreme degree.

Yeah, lots of new tech that vanished because it sucked, wasn’t profitable, destroyed the environment, etc.

God. Motherfucking. Damnit. All. To. Hell.

Even if you don’t grasp the context of the times, it’s insane to call them “boring” unless they never listened past “A Hard Days Night” or “Help!”

Or it probably would, they just have no plan to stop it unless they get sued and a judge forces them

Did you even finish reading the goddamn picture?

This is only true as long as the USD remains the world’s reserve currency.

Something that has not been a sure thing lately.

Modern Monetary Theory is great… If you’re the world’s superpower, and your money runs everything.

Unfortunately, we are actively dismantling this status for quite literally no reason.

Biden has also been very well known for 40+ years for not paying contractors, so we should have known his word wasn’t good.

Oh wait now hold on…

THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE TO CALL A BLUFF THIS IS BLATANTLY FUCKING ILLEGAL OH MY GOD I’M LOSING MY MIND

A strong argument that the US wouldn’t be where it was if not for South Park? C’mon.

Oh for fuck sake… Why, because they took LSD and wore dresses to the Emmys or whatever the fuck? They have affected absolutely no valuable change whatsoever.

The show is funny sometimes, but the satire has done nothing of value. Ever.

If anything, they’ve made things worse by mocking Al Gore and "both sides"ing literal fucking fascists

Fucking thank you

If anyone needs to be monitored, it’s all of these fucking techno-feudalist freaks.

If you know what feudalism is, and want it back so bad that you’re willing to bankroll it to the tune of billions of dollars, then you need to be monitored. At the very least. A real, functioning democracy would take those types of threats to its existence seriously.

Instead we (e.g. any alleged form of government safe guard meant to protect us from devolving back into such barbaric forms of society like feudalism) just sit back and say “huh, I wonder if they’ll be able to completely destroy our government this time. Oh well, guess we’ll find out”. Or even worse, now that these psychopaths control the levers of government in the US, they are actually aiding it. They think they want feudalism back because they’re just temporarily embarrassed feudal lords.

Edit:

These people literally want to make us back into serfs. And we’ll answer to a fucking LLM. That will be the only interface between us and the Lords. You know that Amazon chatbot? That’s your boss now… Err no that’s not right. The word “boss,” is not sufficient to describe the relationship. That chat bot owns you now. Well, the person who owns the server it’s running on owns you, but why would they ever choose to interact with dirty serfs when AI can do it? If it’s important, they’ll relay it to them. They won’t even be aware of your medical complaints, let alone need to hear them, let alone need to address the working conditions that created them.

This shit is not a joke and it is very much not funny. It’s genuinely insane that we are allowing this to happen.

I hope that one day you have the clarity of mind (and capacity for critical thought) to look back at comments like this and cringe.

It’s literally where the word comes from for fuck sake. It’s not boilerplate if you’re having your indeterministic black box spit it out.

so perfect

Really? “Perfect?”

Honest question: why does everyone seem so impressed with this?

It has to be some sort of money laundering scheme

That argument is on the same level as “seatbelts in cars are bad because they restrict my movement”,

I don’t know enough about Javascript to speak about the actual argument itself, but unless at some point it became a life or death situation and people started dying because they didn’t use Typescript, then I’m going to say the argument likely is not on the same level.

Either way, fuck this dude

Wow, that’ll really show them!

I’ll never understand the blind worship these dudes get.

Millions of people come out to protests and it’s “not enough”, and everyone has a criticism. “Why bother if you’re just going to schedule it for a few hours of a Saturday and then go home?”, “you Americans never actually do anything beyond performance.” Etc.

Meanwhile, two multimillionaire Libertarian douchebags make the lamest most toothless fucking “statement”, and everyone here trips over themselves to jerk them off and give them some kind of credit.

Like Jesus Christ people, they haven’t actually done a single fucking thing.

It’s not even good satire. Like let’s break it down for a moment (I know, that’s how you ruin jokes, but I don’t think we need to worry much with this one): how does changing their name to add “America” to it do anything to mock, berate, etc. Trump?

I’m sorry but, “hahaha look, we can add the word ‘America’ to the title like you! Isn’t that funny?” just doesn’t cut it for me satire-wise. To a narcissist like Trump, this is basically a compliment.

And it’s kind of crazy to see so many otherwise intelligent -seeming people line up to suck them off over this.

Go read A Modest Proposal and lament at how far our satire skills have fallen.

These are two men with obscene amounts of money, and we’re praising them for this?

Talk about low standards.

Edit: here why not. A Modest Proposal - Jonathan Swift. Written in 1729

Lol rereading this for the first time in like 15 years… This part made me lol

I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children.

Fucking savage.

there are more children born in Roman Catholick countries about nine months after Lent, than at any other season; therefore, reckoning a year after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of Popish infants, is at least three to one in this kingdom, and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of Papists among us.

LOL

This is what I’m talking about… Compare this to “hurr durr the show is called ‘South America’ now get it?” This is what actual satire looks like.

Looks like The Onion learned from the best. Leaving the best line for the end:

I have no children by which I can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing.

Dating someone with BPD is an absolute nightmare.

God help you if you fall in love with them.
