@LukeAlmighty To be fair, people were just spamming him for the sake of spamming him. Plenty of easy openers, something like Rotherham or any other entry-level redpill would've worked better.

@MartianM00n @Hoss Millennials are an objectively worse version of boomers. Ordinary boomers generally had reasonable politics and good intentions, and were objectively the most competent workers America has ever had on average. Millennials have all of the greed, narcissism, and hedonism of boomers, plus they are either apathetic or actively malicious and completely useless economically.

@sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild @TornadoOfTerror Taking BAP and Yarvin as the core examples, they seemed into the scene when they were at the margins and also anonymous, but with all of the anons banned, the people who rose to the 'top' of that sphere were the ones best at networking with each other and most willing to sacrifice being truthful, useful, and funny in order to keep their accounts.
Once that was in play, they had *influence*, and the culture was no longer one such that bad takes resulted in having to deal with random anons from /pol/ calling them fags. Combined with the fact that they had started facefagging, which makes people a lot less eager to challenge power, there were incentives to start pushing things in the direction of their tribe.

@Aether @Shlomo One would think that the Ukraine would be an object lesson to the citizens of other countries. "If you support the U.S. and E.U., they will send your men to die for a centuries-old semitic blood feud with Russia and then replace them with negroes" was the clear message.
I really hope the Poles are smarter than the jokes say. They can revolt against their PM, or they can get annihilated as a people by being marched into Russian defensive lines by transgender U.S. intelligence community staff.

Something worth noting is how utterly unpopular the hippies were.
It's literally just that one two percent of the population pushing things from the top - they've never been popular, except maybe a brief window around 2008.

I've got to say, this guy probably has the most interesting political story arc of any webcomic artist, and that is not an easy competition to win.

@ChristopherSola @s2208 @McMongoose @djsumdog > "The guy telling boomers that Israel isn't their friend that the people in power burned millions of dollars trying to censor is ahkshully secretly on their side because of jewelry and because he has a few normalfag opinions that pretty much anyone not terminally online also has."
This is inane and retarded. Basically shows that there is a small group of people who want to believe that they are impotent and doomed regardless of the actual reality of things because their goal is not to accomplish anything of value, it's to sit in the corner and jack off to how smart they consider themselves.
I'm sure some of it is glowniggers just spreading D&C, but a few of you are actually chromosome-cases, and should be ashamed.

@graf My understanding of the situation is that, eventually, we will have a state of affairs where some kind of law enforcement will just grab anyone who looks out of place and lacks a significant alibi, and they'll be loaded onto planes and put somewhere else.
It wouldn't really be possible if the letter of the law meant anything, but that's out the window now, and I think the younger generation knows it implicitly.

@William_The_Dragonborn @graf @BronzeAgeHogCranker He really shouldn't be having that much trouble hosting images, but there are better ways to handle it, even if the optimization is terrible and nothing can be done to fix it.
> Do this just for videos. Most people don't upload videos.
> Restrict image size, a la Discord. Easy to do; doesn't cause problems for most users.
> Delete images on low-engagement posts after X amount of time, a la imageboards.
> Failing everything else, say that users can host images on external sites, and provide a straightforward format for embedding them. Same deal as the old PHP forums.

@givenup @mischievoustomato @veff @WashedOutGundamPilot You can make it your business to know people, and that is the only way to succeed economically, romantically, and (of course) socially. Humans are social animals. It's harder now because the institutions that used to shunt kind of nerdy but capable guys into friends and social opportunities are gone or subverted now, but there was never a society where you took the SAT, got a good score, and were immediately handed a wife and a high-paying job.
Think about it from her perspective. She's effectively gambling her most valuable asset on you being neither a flake that will use and discard her nor some kind of weirdo that will drop out of work to troon out and demand she support your fetish. A single mistake leaves her alone at 30 with very little of value to her name. Preselection by friends and family is the only way.

I should note that this is a great service. Loaded like $20 in XMR onto it, and used it every time some service or another wants a phone number from me.
I will not give Discord my real identity. I will not be prevented from making 30 gmail accounts. I will not be part of the botnet.

@Vril_Oreilly @BowsacNoodle I'd thought the meme was kind of pretentious for the few months it showed up, so that kind of tracks.

Presidential doodles:
> Nixon
Straight lines and shapes, just like all us autists drew back in school. He'd be on /pol/ if he were born a generation later.
> Hoover:
Complex abstract art. Made decisions based on a very rigid set of values, which sometimes did well and sometimes did badly.
> Harding:
Product of his time. Art Deco was a symbol of America's rise to greatness - fast-paced, modern, very similar with the Futurists in Europe.
> Johnson:
There's some weird shit going on there. He used to make conversation at the urinal. Not saying anything sinister, but at the least he's a weirdo that got used to push some very bad laws.
> Roosevelt
Can't really draw, but wholesome material. Man's man.
> Obama
"Look at me, I draw just like the New Yorker!"
Basically a homunculus used as a vehicle by the DNC. No sincere or deeply-held values, just does what his betters tell him. The archetypal post-2008 liberal.
> Hayes
Only one doodle, can't say much. I think they were reaching for material.
> Reagan
Cowboys, horses, football players. He gets a bad rap here, but the man was descending into dementia while facing the real possibility that he'd be responsible for a nuclear apocalypse, and every rat in government was whispering in his ear meanwhile. He's what your good-natured dad or grandpa would've been as president if he were elected when Reagan was.
> Eisenhower
Most realistic drawings, generally masculine, normal material. I think he genuinely had some kind of vision for America, and, at the time, it might've seemed plausible. It's easy to criticize terrible decisions in hindsight, with full knowledge of the situation. Very much a tragic figure who could've been different if he were born later, and could see how the world turned out. Like many other WWII generals, he'd have fought for the good guys if he knew.
Also, funny how nobody has made a "Biden draw a clock" joke yet where I've seen this.

It occurs to me that, in the 2000's, everything aimed at kids had legitimately good official Flash games paired with it. Like, you could tell that the devs saw it as a personal passion project - good animation, hours of well-varied gameplay, and so on. The Teen Titans one (first pic related) made it into a fan-compiled list of the best 500 Flash games ever. The guys assigned to making the Lego Mars Mission game built a full-fledged Red Alert 2 clone (second pic related) that was the talk of the whole school for a few days.
Checked some more recent ones, and it's like I'm looking at baby's first hello world project. Even ones from, like, 2017. Animation from whoever Vietnam outsources to, gameplay that I'd expect either a nine year old boy or an African American CS PhD to be capable of implementing, and sounds that were scraped off freesound.
It's a small thing, wouldn't even have noticed it if I hadn't decided to go through Flashpoint's archive on a lark today, but it goes to show just how many little things were better before the age of the H1B.
