Yup. Released in 97' in the US. Not sure why you felt this needed to be added, but yes. You have stated several true facts.

There are Genz who are older than the DVD. I'm certain that the majority of them would know what a VCR is. Unless they were very rich, they still watched movies on tape when they were little. That's before we talk about how the VCR//DVD combo unit was the most popular option well into the DVD life cycle because most people didn't want to re-buy what they already had on tape. VCR didn't really die until Blu-ray kicked it off the combo unit with the DVD which wasn't until like 2007. Some of them were in middle school by then

And Vermonters. It's also a fuck you to the state that hates Trump the most.

I get the shot part but you're seriously telling me someone in another country wouldn't ever think to use the two tonne high speed steel box around them as a weapon when threatened?

He bought a cyber truck. No, he lacks all critical thinking and impulse control. He'll go to his grave mad and confused

I mean, I get the idea that it's easier to do this sort of thing at scale with this technology, but there are already entire sophisticated corporations overseas dedicated solely to phishing at scale already using ultra cheap labor so like ... Is anything really going to change other than those scam companies going out of business due to grassroots competition? I don't really see how this changes anything other than the labor budget of phishing companies.

This isn't a state. There is no corruption. There is no need to prevent corruption on a private forum. If it happens, we leave and tell Ada she's an asshole on the way out.

Shame and shunning are the only actual tools for social change. You can't "teach" this PugJesus out of his bigotry. Shun him and move on with your life. Either he takes the hint or he dies alone. Either way, you did your part. The rest is up to everyone else to follow you. Lying to yourself that you or anyone can do more is just self harm

Their head. They still think they can teach bigotry away. They haven't learned fixing strangers isn't their job yet

Not true. The system suppresses third parties. It doesn't stop them. Parties fall in the US just like everywhere else. When was the last time you spoke to a US whig? Or a Jeffersonian Republican? The system in place when those parties fell was exactly the system we have now. It just takes a massive popular effort and a period of severe political turmoil where the country is heavily divided along party lines and a large portion of the country feels entirely disenfranchised (ideally about a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 split between the two parties and people fed up or greater). Happened at the revolution. Happened at the civil war. Happened at the great depression. Guess where we are now? Don't let yourself fall for the lie that the party is eternal. We're on the knive's edge now. It's time to push

Despite what the media wants us to think, both parties are wildly unpopular with their own voters and are primed for collapse. Literally all of the conditions historically needed for social revolution have been met

They're saying that like it's special. 100k household being middle class has been a thing where I live since the 90s. Whoever wrote this article is really old to be this flabbergasted by such an unsurprising number. That's two 50k salaries. Honestly I'm amazed anything less is considered middle class. Shits expensive

She's either short sighted or suicidal.

Short sighted: she recognizes that what she's saying is correct in that it would lead to short term gains for the party but fails to recognize the long term effects that allowing "sidelining minorities for political gain" to regain steam it has lost over the past few decades.

Suicidal: she recognizes all of the above is actually absolutely the correct direction for any non-trans democrat who only cares about building party influence to push at this moment and for some god damn reason she's telling the evil fucks all about it in plain English.
