Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment

when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

This remains one of my favourite things to emerge from SA.

Anyway here's an old macro I found that seems generally apt.



I thought there was actually a story posted along with that.

Also Dan Akyroyd hung out at the bar hitting on high-school girls (Canadian province where the drinking age is 18).

It's Dennis Haskins, of Saved By The Bell fame. When he wasn't acting, he'd tour college campuses as a motivational speaker. I've heard stories of him creeping on college girls at campus programming conventions. Never saw him creep, but definitely watched him get hammered at these conventions.

I was thinking that's what people said about him, but I didn't want to write it in case my memory was faulty.

It'll be a lesser version of "oh wow holy gently caress these old shows/movies/cartoons/comics were racist compared to today." The merits remain, but with an asterisk.

One thing I would really loving love to know is how Moot feels about what 4chan has enabled nowadays. I dont know if hes said anything about it since he sold the site and started working at google but if I were in his position and looked back at the cess pool that is 4chan and its infestation of "ironic" alt right cunts, I dont know if I could live with that.

As far as I know he hasn't commented on the site at all after selling it, at least not any further than very neutrally wishing it the best going forward in a few post-sale interviews. He has pretty much vanished from the public eye. It's an understandable and probably a wise decision, since he finally managed to leave the site behind and now has a great (I assume) job at Google, and commenting on something like 4chan means just unnecessarily running into a minefield. It's a situation in which no matter what you say, you're going to make some people very, very upset.

Having said that, I was a bit disappointed not seeing him in the article as well.

Pretty sure most of these are from SA, if not then at least they are pre 2008. I pulled them from an external HDD I haven't used since then and really haven't saved any new ones since about then when they were banned here.

Back then they weren't considered homophobic. They totally were, but nobody thought about them that way.
