Working in IT at the time, we were fairly sure things would be fine by the time New Years Eve rolled around,. Even going so far as to camp overnight outside at the Rose Parade, a wild time on a normal year and ridiculous in 1999 with Colorado Blvd packed with partyers.
The moment came and, of course, nothing really happened…except some GENIUS thought it would be a good idea to set off a giant firework at the college next door, scaring the living shit out of a few thousand people. Good times.
Keep up the great work.
Just go in knowing it likely will not be sheets of aurora like you see elsewhere but instead quick splashes of green hues. Still could be pretty cool though, hope you can see something!
We dug those up years ago though, I have one framed from Alamogordo.
For better or worse, his (possible) reelection is too important to several foreign nations and billionaires across the world. That’s all you need to know.
Any chance you have a link to that?
Money.
You’re naive to think it’s just starting now.
It started in 2012 with the Mayans, later the Cubs winning, Harambe and so on.
They hated him for he spoke the truth…
RIP legend. He always acted his ass off, every role.
We had a guy learn Dvorak specifically so no one could take his keyboard. Madman or brilliant?
Fair points, but I’d imagine any single person attempting what you propose would automatically fear for their lives, becoming a huge target. That certainly would be the hero move though.
Oh the irony of you telling us to read when you literally can’t figure out that yes, I was talking to YOU. When I said “your first post” it meant yours not the OP. Look in a mirror.
If it takes three paragraphs and your specific voting location to explain why your vote “technically” won’t go to 45, maybe those people are right. The problem is that there are a LOT of people that don’t understand the nuance and we have to plan for the lowest common denominator, otherwise people in actual swing states will see posts like your first one (lacking any explanation) and run with it. For them, a third party vote actually is helping 45.
Additionally, there’s a decent argument to be made about total votes even though they don’t “technically” decide the president. That number still matters and a lot of weight is thrown around with it. For all we know, this whole thing could hit the courts and having every advantage may be necessary to save our future.
Teleconference chat at 2400 baud was something else.
That’s a pretty cool idea for a website, tracking the enshittification of major sites and products. I’d read it but I’m sure it’d be a lot of depressing, hard to monetize work for those involved to run.
Appreciate all you do.
How have I never heard this. That was great.
Thank you to everyone involved for all that you do!
