@sickburnbro Like most things the regime wants you to fight about, they've completely poisoned the well with vaccines by coupling vaccines that are really important with shit that just doesn't matter.
Don't want your kid to get an experimental shot to prevent a neglected tropical disease that's never been endemic in the West? Sorry you're also not getting the measles shot
@sickburnbro@DrRyanSkelton@Ghislaine@Kazak@King_Noticer@SuperSnekFriend that's another thing people don't seem to realize: the days of skiddies running rainbow tables and dictionary attacks on your nodus forums account are long gone, the name of the game now is buying 3tb of leaked user:pass combos and trying them on every site you can find til one hits
@sickburnbro@Kazak@Ghislaine@King_Noticer@SuperSnekFriend honestly we've evolved beyond the need for passwords we actually remember, if you're not self-hosting a keepass vault or similar you're no better than a boomer with "passw0rd1911!" written on a sticky note
@Kazak@Ghislaine@King_Noticer@SuperSnekFriend@sickburnbro To be fair as well this is an OLD comic, August 2011. Back when it came out it was good advice because people weren't doing things like this and nobody was running 4 pass whole word dictionary attacks
@sickburnbro@CleverMoniker@JoshuaSlocum sure, this is a nonsequitur and I'm not sure why you brought it up, and this isn't limited to disco, I'm just telling you its irrelevant because the numbers are made up
@sickburnbro@CleverMoniker@JoshuaSlocum This is why I specifically picked out Nintendo Power and Kotaku. If they weren't outright controlled by the record company, someone was blowing them for favorable press
@sickburnbro@CleverMoniker@JoshuaSlocum this shit was so faked its not even funny dude, you have no idea. Even beyond just straight bribing DJs to lie about their top requests or to play songs at 3 AM that nobody will listen to, the recording industry methods are designed to be exploited. Ever wonder why EVERY radio station has one of those call sign promos where they play like 3 seconds of 20 songs in quick succession? Soundscan picks up each of those as a play
@sickburnbro@CleverMoniker@JoshuaSlocum remember, this is the 70s. Music wasn't free and you couldn't just listen to whatever you want, you either paid for records or your entire perception of music was shaped by your local radio DJ.
90% of people who hated disco never went to a discotheque or listened to more than a song or two, they just had a rock DJ they liked who bashed the "AAA" discos (rightly) for being dens of faggotry
To tie it back to the gaming analogy, imagine if you got all your games based on recommendations from either Nintendo Power or Kotaku
@sickburnbro@CleverMoniker@JoshuaSlocum also punk wasn't in opposition to disco, it was in opposition to prog rock. the disco feud was with traditional stadium rock
@sickburnbro@CleverMoniker@JoshuaSlocum Sure, but backlash ALSO takes time, video games are just starting to falter and they've been getting faggy for over a decade and hit critical mass years ago
@sickburnbro@CleverMoniker@JoshuaSlocum it really isn't, disco died HARD after Disco Demolition Night, local rock radio station hosted a promotional night at a baseball game where if you brought a disco record they'd blow it up in the midfield, turned into a riot and the upper middle class, looking for any excuse to get rid of the crack and buttsex dens in their city, pushed it HARD as a condemnation of disco
