Apoplexy posted:I need to watch Fargo S3. I've got the first episode just waiting to be watched, but I just keep putting it off. How good is it, S1 good, S2 good, or Not Fargo S1 Or S2 Good, But Pretty Good Just The Same It's the best so far. I'd rank them S3>S1>>>>S2. The main characters are excellent, with Ewan MacGregor being two of them as identical twins and he pulls off the huge differences between them so well. It's not often that a TV show or Movie has any real emotional impact on me but that scene tonight did. The last time I experienced that was Magnolia when they're all singing Wise Up and it switches from "don't give up" to "just give up". But what do I know, Trump turned me into a giant liberal pussy baby man.

enraged_camel posted:Yeah, this is the real story imo. A lot of people suspected huge numbers of bots operating on Trump's Twitter account before, but the covfefe thing was as hard an evidence as we can expect to have for it. Recently it's Mark Dice, his meme replies always have thousands of retweets. It's really obvious. Mark Dice is a humorless, joyless conspiracy theorist, like an Alex Jones without emotion.

So, with the exception of "don't constantly yell that America is Satan and that Obama is a war criminal", its basically the leftists "stop pushing identity politics" thing. Stop trying to prevent gun violence, abandon Muslims and other minorities, never try to point out that Republicans are actually bad. All its missing is saying that racism is just a myth created by the rich and it'd be perfect.

RandomBlue posted:The fake followers were the reason the whole thing took off. Trump tweets some lame accidental tweet and within a couple hours, probably less, there were over 70K retweets and more than 120k likes and plateaued for a while before the tweet was deleted. It was the most obvious indicator of the massive number of bots still being used to manipulate the public through social media. From there it snowballed from "LOL, bot much?" to: "OBVIOUSLY it's not bots but the secret of humanity, maybe even those that come after the orb!". The President's twitter is a constant source of material for 2 of twitter's most active and thinkfluential groups: comedians and reporters/journos (who are merely comedians who haven't followed their dreams yet). The growth and attention that received was organically viral rather than botdriven, because it was the exact right blend of an activity lull, unintentional hilarity, and collective blank slate that drove humortwitter in the first place. Bots didn't drive it... https://twitter.com/KevinFarzad/status/869800980073910272 Mustached Demon posted:Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III represents every single thing wrong with modern conservatism. e: Majorian posted:Which is funny, because he also represents everything wrong about conservatism 160 years ago too!

Typos happen all the time, but what usually doesn't happen is the president making a statement and stopping mid-thought, and leaving that thought incomplete for a whole day and counting. It's obvious that he was going to tout the success of his trip in which he curtsied to the king of Saudi Arabia and then ruined our relationship with Germany for no loving reason, but he never got around to doing it. I know that palling around with dictators is a sadly bipartisan tradition, but I don't know of a president who did so exclusively.

Did I do that right? ... Ok, fine, signs might be pointing to indicators that there's a remote possibility that I might somehow have misread the situation due to extenuating factors. This single incident is obviously the exception that proves my continual rightness.

Dr Christmas posted:Typos happen all the time, but what usually doesn't happen is the president making a statement and stopping mid-thought, and leaving that thought incomplete for a whole day and counting. He passed out, was interrupted, etc.. around midnight and the tweet was deleted 4-6 hours later when someone who could do something about it woke or was woken up eventually, none of that is as abnormal as you think it is. The actual abnormal part is that our President consistently posts horrible poo poo for the world to see on a virtually non-stop basis because he has the impulse control of a toddler and is constantly seeking approval and praise from any outlet that will give it to him. If you actually care what the original tweet actually was and can't guess from the general idea from what was given and history of similar statements and think a lot of other people care about that then I don't know what to tell you. Just in case, I'll clear it up: "Despite the constant negative press cov[erage, I still did everything better than anyone else has or ever will!]" I'm sure there are multiple Trump Tweet Generator sites that could finish that tweet with a statement that has the exact same message: The media are picking on me and are unfair and I'm the best winner ever anyway!

Paul Ryan rolled up like something from came out of central casting when the Beltway press craved a technocraty wonk narrative and he's been frantically trying to avoid loving up the gravy train since. In my head I read this paragraph in a Jeff Sessions southern accent and the prose waxed downright poetic.

I mean, there have been Republican presidents before and they didn't destroy the government! So the government is safe and liberals cry! It's a win win! From what I've seen from both sides of the aisle it really comes back to generations of evangelicals on the right indoctrinating their children to believe that right versus the left is literally the children of God fighting against the Devil and his minions, whether they were aware of being his tools or not. That's not hyperbole, it is literally what they teach with no effort to hide it or excuse it as metaphor or anything other than the bat-poo poo crazy that it sounds like because by the time you're old enough to understand what they're talking about you're generally way past the point of no return. It's the same basic premise Scientology uses to get you so invested in time and money that by the time you've hit the real core of the laughably insane bullshit at the center most people are so far in they're true believers for any "truth" that comes from the source or just cannot admit to themselves that they've wasted almost everything committing to a cause who's ultimate truth is essentially a gilded tome opening slowly to reveal dickbutt. Dickbutt may be ultimate truth of humanity. It's dickbutts all the way down. Oh poo poo, I think I might like the ending to The Dome now.
