That’s a culture-thing. I’m a member of two forums that are still pretty active. One views dead thread revivals as amusing, the other almost literally has a celebration in-thread when it happens as all the members with older posts in it come piling in. Heck, the second forum has a thread so active that people literally ask for, and get, recaps for the last X amount of time for it.
To be fair, he ate chips with a neat soundtrack and flashy cuts. Whooooah.
One day, I’ll play all the different white wolf games, FATE, and whatever else is in there. One day soon…
This is how a gang operates. It’s all about consensus building by braggadocio. Someone says they’re going to do something, and sees if enough others join them. Then they threaten the person who is their rival based on the number of people behind them. Unfortunately for the wagner fellows who proposed this, they don’t have anywhere near enough backing them to get putin to back down. They’re fucked.

Don’t forget that there used to be literal assassins that would kill you if you tried to sell (as a retailer, obviously the resale by individuals was so small-time they didn’t care and hard to track) under the price you were told to sell it.
Same. I would see the advertisement for them and think it was cool, but never heard anything about the actual story. Apparently there have been video games and comics.
I remember another story as well, where the journalist actually walked up the hill that blocked the view of the facility and saw the construction. It had about the same focus, but didn’t go into as much detail on the computing side of the NSA, just their storage capabilities.
The knowledge that a government agency is recording everything is one of those existential horrors that slowly fades and just quietly lurks in your mind, hidden beneath the daily struggles and interests.
There was something that just felt wrong about the sync app thread in one of the lemmy.world communities. Just post after post of “yay, it’s like having reddit back again.” Reddit can fuck off. I like the novelty and slight roughness around the edges.
Turns out, I would download a person. Take that, record companies!
I personally prefer the pastafarianism-ism about global warming and Caribbean pirate prevalence.
I’m pretty sure the love for Warcraft III evenly splits X and Y.
