Today was the last tech scout The Chi will ever have. Weird to know that after working on something for so many years, which up until very recently was expected to go for a bunch more years, it’s all ending. I’m surely aware of the impermanence of…everything, really. Sometimes it has a feeling to it

That is a g.d. work of art my friend. 10/10

Yeah that was how I read it too. Really, really great idea.

Well, yknow what the founding fathers said about standing national armies…

Happy birthday Squish!

Do you consider tv to be more valid than YouTube or Twitch or Kick or wherever? How do you count an actor that hasn’t made a relevant tv show film in 5 or 10 years but still posts on social media?

I mean obviously her, but, more broadly?

What is considered an influencer these days? What used to be known as a content creator? Actors and athletes still qualify, right? “Famous” people. I genuinely don’t know what the criteria are. And if you’re suggesting people go kill them, boy is that important to spell that the fuck out super clear

I dunno if that means you agree or disagree with them, but, I can’t picture anyone downplaying Madonna’s relevance without ignoring, willfully or out of ignorance, the huge role she played in helping bring acceptance of gay folks to mainstream culture. Borderline is dope too.

I’m not crying you’re crying

I’m curious about the basis for rockets not being flight. Like there were aircraft that used rocket power. Does a rocket providing the thrust disqualify flight, where a turbofan or turbojet qualifies as flight, when the aircraft has the same sorta wings and tail? It’s all still lift to drag ratio

Thanks for being a decent person. Like, Bannon is vile. But is that a reason to be petty and ridicule him for the kinda shit that biology does to people as we age? It’s akin to being like oh I’m all progressive hang on while I fat shame a conservative. Thank you for being decent

We are so different

Sent this to a buddy of mine who I thought would appreciate it. He said he saw the most recent tour and Al was playing all that old stuff. So apparently he’s grown into it

Fwiw I’ve seen people point out that it isn’t 60m members it was 60m views and nobody knows how many of them were actual humans in the first place. So it maybe it being inflated to look even more horrific than it actually is, not that it makes it a whole lot better if that’s true.

Not that you *know of*. VCRs were so sneaky, they basically lived off a combo of 80’s war idol Rambo shit, Disney mermaids, and toooooons of porn. The secrets they kept would make a man weep

The amount of time one has to invest in being competent with firearms is way more than the average person is ever going to invest. Firearms in the hands of people who aren’t continually actively training in the handling and use of firearms? Highly questionable

See that lines up, cause I am entirely a dork

I’m so old, when you say the forum is down it makes me think about how a Facebook group was created to be the backup for when the forum was down, then pretty much replaced the forum, and I’ve been off Facebook long enough now that I don’t remember if that group is still Doing Thangs™️.

Precious memories indeed

Yikes

If this was gonna be a thing it already woulda been solved long ago by the feet crowd

Let’s see, across a nation of 300 million people, that means the average person paid…. Oh no, I paid a whole penny for 8 years of president salary?! A penny?!? Forsooth!

OK, now do bribes.

I found this when going through some of my grandpa’s stuff. It was actually quite recent that the “under god” got shoehorned in there where it most certainly does not belong.

Interesting indeed!
