Ugh, I try not to :[ honestly such an embarrassment for the whole country that the choices are between a senile old dude and a convicted felon dictator

I’m old enough to remember Trump gutting the EPA, approving oil drilling permits, and reducing national park land and that those are considered all negatives for the environment :/

I’m pretty stoked this came up in my feed today. I was actually one of the players in that campaign! We played in a small, virtual group during Covid. I sent this thread to Garlic~

The coffee shops weren’t a big part of the campaign, but it was definitely a recurring theme. He did a great job world-building and there were backstory elements he added in for us. I did miss the Starbucks reference until it came up and I echo the collective groan we had. There were other puns and fun adventures we had in the campaign.

Oh I’m sure it’d be quite hard. But that’s a future engineer’s problem lol

This is the first step to having magnetic wheels become a thing. We know canonically Jim Kirk’s motorcycle uses these, so it’s definitely mainstream by ~2250.

Honorable mention: the Bell Riots happen September this year, and it seems we’re on track for those too

To merge with another fandom, there is no Megamind sequel in Ba Sing Se 💡

It was over 410:1 when I started a job in 2012. My company may have been an outlier :/ I hope it improves

FML you’re right :( just saw this pop up in a news feed. Party of law and order at work

My favorite part about the aftermath of this is that Convicted Felon Trump won’t be able to vote for himself in the election 🥰

He did win against her. Until the Superdeligates swung the election in favor of where their money and the DNC wanted. I completely hold the DNC torpedoing themselves as the reason for Trump in '16.

You’re totally right. For some reason I (mis)remembered it only being in the EU while the US was excluded. I found the form on Nintendo’s website and will look into that later.

For real :[ unfortunate circumstances and a very unfortunate outcome. For all the memes and lols this created, I hope he’s doing well

That’s fair. It’s the double-edged sword of internet stardom. To me it’s about remembering a simpler time then the world was less of a mess than it is today.

I post a reminder in a group chat with my friends every year. Someone today asked how the hell I remember it and I told them it’s in my calendar

Unfortunately, that’s not available in the US :(

It sure would be a shame if you bought new, identical Joy-Con controllers, found they didn’t have drift, and returned the old drifty ones by accident.

5/28 Ninja Edit: today I learned is a form on Nintendo’s website where you can fill out a repair request form. I thought the US had been excluded https://repair.nintendo.com/cc/soConsumer.html?lang=en&sys=SWTCH&type=JOY-CON

It’s pretty iconic and when you need to make a 4-digit pin quickly, it’s something that stands out if you’re a fan of the series. But as the heat map suggests, it may not be the most secure

Do you know why we can’t see any elephants hiding in trees?

Because they’re really good at it

… I’ll see myself out
