I keep getting followers who are undoubtedly going to have a bad time here, so just a heads up I'm a Christian anarchist who loves capitalism and thinks guns are neato, and if you see me arguing outside of what you might assume my values would be it's either because I can't help myself sometimes when someone is mischaracterizing a concept whether I even agree with the concept or not, or you don't understand my values.

These families sacrificed their children for evil and are now using the government to torment people trying to expose it

The damage amount on those lawsuits is still absolutely preposterous.

Unthinkably so, but it makes sense in the context of showing what happens when you ask questions, no matter how seemingly absurd.

I've heard people say that Alex Jones is a government asset because of how much he gets right just presented in a wild way so people can laugh it off even as they're being told the truth. If that's true then doubly so for the Onion.

People keep getting mad when they see a Wii remote on my retro controller wall.

The Wii released 15 years after the Super Nintendo.

The Wii released 18 years ago.

People considered the Super Nintendo to be a Retro Console when the Wii came out. That means I’m justified in calling it a retro console now.

It’s the Nintendo NES Zapper, that the Zapinator was based on!

Nintendo wanted to advertise the NES as something more than a video game system in order to avoid the stigma around the video game market in North America after the video game market crashed.

One of the ways they did this was buy including the zapper gun, and other toy like peripherals in order to market it as more of a toy than a video game console.

Seeing that people may not be familiar with the Zapper reminded me of who one of the most important Nintendo Characters ever made was:

If you recognize this guy from Smash, you'll know him as R.O.B.! (Robotic Operating Buddy) While his purpose is more forgotten in favor to his cameos in all sorts of other Nintendo Games, he served a similar purpose to the Famicom/NES Zapper. He was the other major Peripheral to advertise the NES as a 'toy' rather than a device to differentiate it from the Video Game crash.

While he only ever got 2 games before being quietly discontinued, he's considered a key part of the marketing for the NES being successful. Most of the NES promotional Material showcased Rob or at least featured him to convince consumers that this was a different beast compared to the failed Atari systems that led to the video game crash of in NA.

we even have consumer reports collected by Steve Lin detailing that although its not by much, Rob was the #1 reason kids wanted to get an NES.

its strange given that these items are mostly relegated to cameos and references in modern games today, but the Zapper and Rob are both important players for Video Games in North America even existing at all

I wonder if kids are still getting to experience the wholesome classics that shaped our generation like Young Teen Learns Survival Skills Under Threat of Starvation and Wild Animal Attack, Young Teen Experiences Homelessness in the Segregation Era, Young Teen Experiences Hunting Culture and Loss in Rural Appalachia, or Young Teen Turns Into a Dog for No Particular Reason Other Than Being British.

Hatchet, Bud Not Buddy, Where the Red Fern Grows...Woof...?

I was partial to Kid Grows up in Non-White Culture; Ends up Betraying Both, Young Teenager Lives Other Young Girls' Fantasy by Being Raised by Dolphins, Living Alone on an Island but the Dog Dies, and Retarded Guy Stops Being Retarded but Ends up More Retarded Later.

I'm sure they still read Gang Activity but Only for White People too.

Maniac Magee, I'd never heard of "Bud Not Buddy".

Ah, I slept on that one I guess. Title rings a bell though. Like maybe a made-for-TV movie adaptation was done or something and they showed it on Nickelodeon.

Went to an event last night where the local philharmonic played the background music in Elf while the movie played. I think that's how movies were meant to be watched.

Watching the cost of living crisis take place in North America put the lack of critical thinking on clear display makes me feel insane.

When you point out that the prices for rent and grocery and bills are determined by your landlord and corporations that you buy from the gears just stop turning completely. Did you know the leadership at your job also determines your wages?

Like what is not clicking here???

what’s not clicking here is the same thing that makes me people vote in a president based on the fact the price of groceries went up. Your average American simply put, is not very knowledgeable about entry level economics.

Pretty sure nobody that mentions landlords but not the Federal Reserve has a right to criticize anyone on their understanding of economics though.

We’re back to “shit is expensive because of corporate greed and no other reason” I see

Commies really are fucking stupid.

Nuclear is like the only thing that gets regulated this way; in no other industry is "you must spend as much as possible on safety, past any question of cost-benefit, such that any savings gets eaten up by it, while your competition blows the same stuff straight into the air" anti-nuclear fears are responsible for a lot of climate change and air pollution and all that comes with it, because it never traded off against renewables it traded off against more coal

Imagine if sushi restaurants were required to be as clean as a NASA clean room to prepare food, because they use RAW FISH and thus might have a disease. Meanwhile your local McDonald's is letting the food stay overnight under heat lamps and letting mold grow in the ice cream machine. But everyone remembers the one or two major stories about Fuku fish and no one remembers the millions with food poisoning.

Woah, woah, woah, OP, haven't you read this book about how complicated preparing Fugu fish is? And how there's probably no way to make it 100% safe with exactly 0 mistakes ever? Anyways because we can't make it 100% safe with 0 mistakes ever we need to keep allowing McDonalds to give people food poisoning. Regulations are written in blood.

No I haven't actually checked which of the two has killed more people. Regulations are written in blood.
