There will almost certainly be a downturn before then, because there almost always is over time scales of 10 years. Let’s just hope things hit rock bottom in November of 2020.

Because in this case, the false information was not invented by the websites reporting it, but by the hoaxer they were duped by. That’s a thing as old as time, whereas “fake news” refers to something relatively new and specific.

*sigh*

exurb1a, RedLetterMedia and a handful of others are the only YouTube channels I enjoy. 99.999999999% of it is filthy garbage and nonsense.

So... I hate to ruin your story, but isn’t it sort of a good thing the pipe burst and allowed you to discover the termite infestation?

If we ignore the situation and don’t push back, we get Mussolini. If we fight, if we hold him accountable at every step, maybe we can get Berlusconi instead. Still awful, but orders of magnitude less so.

We always knew it was hard to hack the results themselves. Voting machines aren’t even networked, for numerous good reasons. This is why we rightly scoffed at Donald Trump’s suggestion that actual fraudulent votes were going to swing the election in Hillary’s favor.

What do you suggest he do? Nullify the constitution and declare himself king?

Nothing, since the ROM wouldn’t be receiving updates from Samsung anyway.

Okay, but the show appears to be set quite far into the future, maybe 100+ years from now. Who knows how much $40,000 is worth to these people?

I have a better idea: we build a giant wall around every major American city in Dumbfuckistan and just let the suburbs and rural areas fend for themselves. The majority of Americans live in cities, and the vast majority of cities vote Democratic.

They’ve decided to cast a vote for someone other than Hillary, an alternate Republican that they think they may be able to sway some Republican electors to support. Only a few Republican electors that I’m aware of have voiced any concern whatsoever with casting…

The maze was consciousness, yeah. Billy/MiB was just looking for the ultimate story in the maze—and for the danger, a quest where the hosts could actually kill him. The maze was a story made only for the hosts, though, and explicitly designed to develop their consciousness. William didn’t grasp that until the end of…

Aren’t fedoras more of a Libertarian thing? Liberals are into beanies and wide-brimmed baseball caps with pot leaves on them.

I disagree. They’ve answered plenty of questions—the last two episodes have been jam packed with answers.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but animals are the rapists of the animal kingdom.

Man, people who like jazz can be so, so pretentious.

I don’t know, maybe I’m being too critical. I understood the plot, but I guess I just wasn’t feeling it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was a real letdown, especially as a follow-up to Take Shelter, which I found very interesting
