Chasin that dragon.

I could fix her.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste, but when Sports came out in '83, they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear crisp sound and a new sheen of consummate professionalism, that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

In '87 Huey released this, Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip to be Square.” A song so catchy that most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics, but they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey Paul!

Just do it.

Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This just has to be real!

He’s right though, the people who say it’s just a ride and we can use our imaginations to make the ride better, yeah we kill those people.

Yeah Dad, this is AMERICA, we should be NUMBER ONE!

Holy shit how did I miss that? I remember Scud!

Oh it gets even better. Written and directed by Rob Schrab.

Rob Schrab was instrumental in the Channel 101 days, involved in some of their highest quality series.

He would go on to Direct the Sarah Silverman Program and then went on to be involved in many different comedic projects. I’ve always been a fan of his “drawless animation” art style.

I’d watch the hell out of this.

Y’all are still able to afford Cheetos??

Turns out you don’t wanna know where that Glass Elevator takes you.

EDIT: I just caught the “chocolate kills dogs” I’m fucking dead.

The fact that it is a paid product should have been their first clue it was a honeypot.

Don’t be sorry for having an opinion, and that’s a pretty mild one all things considered.

This is also probably the reason why you lost your DARPA funding, they more than likely caught wind of the fact that those backdoors were present and didn’t want to create any derivative products based upon the same.

Though this implies that the Department of Defense doesn’t want to use compromised tools, since DARPA is DoD. NSA is also DoD.

I mean, it’s still Open Source, right? So it would be pretty hard for them to hide a backdoor or something??

I guess I don’t know what’s so sus when it’s easily auditable by the community and has been for two decades now.

If it’s just because it’s memes and you’re not being that serious, then disregard please.

Well I’d say the nuance here is that while it’s hard to break through when those ecosystems have a hold on them, and it’s hard to compete with them, being a censorial editor for the elderly really only makes sense if they really can be considered not in their right mind and not have the capacity to think or care for themselves.

I don’t really think censorship is the solution as much as finding a way to break the spell of whatever has overtaken right wing thought.

I think the public right wing response to both Luigi Mangione and to Musk promoting H1Bs shows that while they’ve sucked down racism, on some level they understand that the corporate world exists to harm workers. They just haven’t found solidarity with the workers of the rest of the world yet, and it’s finding a way to crack that barrier and get them to see themselves in others. I think it’s very hard but not impossible.

I think part of the problem is the nature of our media and how consolidated it is and how rare real independent news media is at the moment in this country. I think we’d do better to tackle that at a community level than we would to just outright censor it.

Like, an example… You have a child and you want to know what they’re watching on television for their mental health. Is it better to watch those things with them and discuss the themes and ideas with them and help them contextualize it all in a healthy way or censor the things you don’t like and never discuss them so the child enters the world wholly without the knowledge of these subjects. I’d say based on personal experience that the latter doesn’t work out so hot for the kid.

Censorship and control of information without discussion isn’t a good path, whereas openness and communication is.

EDIT: Also, in response to hospitals, I do agree, it should be nothing but like calming nature documentaries or chill kids cartoons. All family friendly stuff with nothing stressful to promote healthy recovery. In the context of hospitals I’d say its less censorship and more “genuinely people need fewer stressors so they can heal.” Removing stressful and divisive television solves that.

Stop normalizing this and start normalizing filtering your parents internet with a Pi-Hole and blocking whole swaths of the right-wing ecosystem.

Everyone complains about people wanting them to be the computer guy in their family but no one ever uses that to protect their family from misinformation/disinformation and then blame it on their ISP.

…in Minecraft. (please don’t actually do this to your parents)

Right, which is why I’m implying this could be a hit because it’s the right form factor aimed at a myriad of use-cases.

A little worried that with swapping those components like that, it’s trying to be too many things for too many different groups of people instead of one exact thing.

Isn’t that exactly what made Raspberry Pis a massive hit? Being able to be so many different things for so many different groups of people, at a reasonable price point, maximizing the groups it appealed to?

Why not just use this one?

I’m not a big Marvel fan, I just know I’ve seen lots of examples. Makes sense that they would be alternate universe Caps, tho. That’s a great way to be able to write the character and show the dark side of US politics without necessarily marring the original character himself. However, to outsiders, there’s not really a difference between the two, because they’re not deep in nerd lore.

…and a bag of chips! Yum!
