There is no war in Ba Sing SE after all...

So long as both sidesing brings in outrage clicks and views, they won't.

Pretending that the latest monstrous and insane thing out of Trump's hate hole is somehow breaking news is the same shit they've been playing since... forever.

Some of their own people (reporters) may get ground under the millstone, but that's a price they're willing to pay. Just the price of staying on top.

Sorrey I missed your question about her radicalization.

It stemmed from separation anxiety due to her mother working while she was young. Which metastasized into a hatred of women in the workforce. Ironic given how much she worked with men who viewed her as nothing more than a novelty, all while she crafted much of the modern GOP ethos.

I wasn't aware there was one about her!

Most of my information, outside of my baseline knowledge of her anti-ERA shenanigans, is from some recent Behind the Bastards episodes about her.

One of the greatest political operatives of the 20th century, in terms of how widespread her horrifying legacy is. She only cosplayed as a frumpy housewife all while trying to lock the US an eternal fictionalized version of the 1950s.

Phylis Schlafly, one of the main architects behind the modern religious right controlled GOP.

Despite the original double vax, and every suggested booster, I'm pretty sure I caught it from my dentist in July 2022. I was still wearing a mask everywhere at that point, with a KN95 in any situation where I'd be near people for extended situations.

I've had the flu 3 times in my life. This was as bad as the worst of them, with a completely lost week.

That said, I am hyper cautious around others and will still keep wearing my 'please maintain your distance' sign.

I realize all of that. I think it keeps people further away from me while out shopping, thus the psychological barrier helps more than any filtering.

I guess I'm not such a weirdo for still wearing a mask when going out.

Sounds vaguely familiar. I think it was more than just pong.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

It's been so long. I honestly don't remember :(

Pong on some device in the late 70s. So that might not count.

Oregon Trail on a computer store Apple ][.

Finally Wizardry I on my own Apple ][+. Early 1982 iirc.
