  • I don’t know about now, but back in the 90s the magical out was that you punched them in the face.

    Back then the concept of a school shooting didn’t exist, and parents didn’t threaten to sue the school every 5 minutes.

    So teachers would just let the fights go.

    “Oh, Billy tried bullying Bobby, and now Bobby punched Billy in the face? Eh…call me when they break bones and spill blood. I’m going to go make popcorn.”

    These days? I’m sure both kids would get expelled.









  • I hope one day theres something similar to this, but for 8bitdo.

    I have an 8bitdo keyboard, and in order to map my buttons, I need to boot up a windows 10 hard drive, do my one time edits, save them to the keyboard, and THEN I can turn off the pc, swap back to my ZorinOS hard drive, and THEN I can go about as normal.

    And if for some reason somethings wrong, or didn’t take, I’d have to repeat the whole process all over again.

    All because the keyboard manager doesn’t work on linux. But it’s not logitech.








  • “You’re either with us or against us!”

    The WWE used a very very similar slogan for “The Nexus” in 2011. Now, if you don’t watch WWE, the important thing to know is that they had a reality game show in 2010. They put 8 rookies who had never been on WWE and paired them with 8 current WWE wrestlers to mentor them. Then every week the rookies would get eliminated 1 by 1 until the final rookie got signed by WWE.

    Well, at the end of the 8 weeks, all 8 of them just showed up, and invaded. They destroyed the ring, attacked ring personel, and caused chaos. They were treated as an invading militant force that all wore armbands. Not exactly nazi style, but also, you could make the arguement it was nazi influenced in concept, but not in style.

    They used phrases like “The only easy day was yesterday” and “You’re either Nexus or you’re against us”.

    And every week they were portrayed as a group of militant bullies who destroyed peoples lives and took what they wanted.

    Kind of fitting that life is imitating art right now. Nazi inspired militants trying to recruit through fear tactics to go to war.
