Oh come on! I live in the united states, and…

…uhhh…

looks around

…uuuuuhhhhhhhh…

…yeah, ok. Fair enough.

Uhhhhhh, this needs more context. This could be anything from being part of the military in a war zone, to being in an abusive relationship, to being stuck in a toxic work environment, to living in the USA, to being in prison, to being tied to railroad tracks by a 1930s cartoon villain. To being tied up and tickled by Mr Tickles from the Mr Men childrens books.

What are we working with here?

I mean…at least Hitler killed Hitler.

Holy fuck, he looks like shit!

Here’s my guess, and I could be completely wrong.

All the governments use 2 sets of computers. The first, is a closed network used only internally. Open source, connected as a network, but NOT connected to outside neteorks. This uses closed source OS that they themselves develop. No backdoors. Highly secured.

The second set is what you know. Windows 11, backdoors, easily spied on. Intentionally left open, because that’s their way to spy on the other countries.

They leave this open, to let themselves be spied on, so that they can spy on the other side. Neither side realizing they’re both doing the same thing, and both sides just getting mostly useless info.

Then, to throw off the trail of it being useless info, they occasionally allow a juicy bit of info into their windows computer. Just so it’s not obvious that this isn’t the real info.

I have zero evidence, and came up with this theory after reading your comment. So I could be very wrong.

To be fair, we haven’t ruled out the possibility that these assholes are all robots. That facebook guy has never once passed the turing test. I have never seen his face and thought “now THAT looks like a human!”

Maybe thats why they feel ok killing. I feel ok in linux going to the task manager and killing all the tasks that eat up my ram (hello firefox, and your 53 processes). But then the processes come back.

It also explains why we suddenly have a push for AI. They just want a brain, which they clearly lack.

As a can drinker, that’s the reason I call them “Crrrsppppclick glug glug glug”.

Oooooooh, depending on year, I bet that was just shortly after his death. Which is why his name would have been topical at the time.

There it is

I kinda love the jablecloth! Everything except the name.

God dammit…I hate that was actually a good pun.

Nah. I remember being smarter than some adults in the 80s. For reference, I was born in 1983.

I told them Reagan was a bad president! Much better to have Super Mario and the Ninja Turtles as running mates.

That tracks.

I remember being let down that the world saw 2013…

I remember when I was 7 I wanted to read those stories. My mom never let me, and called it “fake trash”.

Yeah. I love fake trash. Thats why I love 80s/90s pro-wrestling. Macho Man Randy Savage was 5’10. Which in pro-wrestling world of the 1980s is essentially a midget. But he put on colorful tassles, and had an amazing wardrobe person. He became bigger than life. He was a total character. He fought in fake fights on tv, in a sport so deviated from its orgin material that it may as well not even be called pro-wrestling. It’s fake trash and I loved it!

Then I saw one of these magazines, and was like “Uhhhh, moon boy finds love on mars??? Yes please!”

But mom said no.

Then, years later when I was into my 30s, she asked why I thought pro-wrestling was real.

Uhhhhhhhh…I don’t. No one does. I was 7 and knew it was fake. I didn’t know how many of the performers were on cocaine, or how many drugs they were on…but I knew it was all a performance, and not a sport.

…I never did get to read those magazines.

What’chu gonna do with all that junk? All that love inside yo’ trunk???

Imma get get get you drunk! Get you digging up my humps! My humps my humps! My T-rex fossil lumps!

Yeah, but…have you tried stabbing yourself? Could be fun! C’mon. Do it. Just a little stab. A stab for the good times. A stab for the bad times. Just…stabby stabby! Mwa ha ha!!!

I think low beans are a cats tootsies.

Ok…but, in line with my username, I’m going to stay true to form! I shall take your reaction, which makes sense and proves a point, and I shall instead only use a small out of context portion of it as MY reply. The following series of discussion would in no way make sense, BUT don’t worry. I’ll just gas light the other person by insisting it makes total sense! And then someone will reply “Username relevant”.

“You support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism”

“YOU SHOULD PLAY BASEBALL!”

They say God works in mysterious ways. As an athiest, if I am wrong, and god does exist, he doesn’t work in mysterious ways. He’s playing The Sims, and enjoys torturing everyone. He removes the ladder from the pool.

Either that, or he’s AFK, and will come back to see how we’ve developed over the past 2000 years. And he’ll be like “the fuck are they DOING???”
