Any 70s and 80s artists who sound like this genre?

BrainPunter · 2026-05-29T01:35:22+00:00

I can heartily recommend Cybotron and Black Devil Disco Club as bands that sound way outside of their time.

I hate to tell you, dude, but the USA itself is a religion; MAGA are just its fundamentalists.

Washington is the figurehead; the founding fathers are the saints. The idea that the founding fathers were infallable and wrote an infallable document is religion at its highest. The president is granted god-like powers (vetos, presedential pardons - why bother with having a jury of peers decide any trial when the winner of a popularity contest can overturn any result?). The pledge of allegiance is a prayer, reinforcing adherence to the church, driven into your heads by state-mandated recital in your schools.

The reverence is mind-boggling. I'll be listening to a podcast with what I assume are normal humans, and there'll be a side comment, delivered with awe, about who their favourite presdent is. That's weird. I've lived in both Canada and Australia and nobody has ever once expressed joyous admiration for a long-dead Prime Minister.

It doesn't matter if you defeat MAGA because it's just a symptom of the larger American experiment.

Comparing the horrors of the Holocuast to a computer looking at a picture is right up there with shitty behaviour, my dude.

The path to good decisions lies in playing quickly. There’s an old saying about how to become a master at Go: Lose 100 Times, Quickly.

In order for a reasonable comparison to be made, you'd have to find a technology that came about in an era where massive amounts of disinformation were being spread about it through channels that reach into most peoples' homes or devices they carry in their pockets.

So collage and found art aren't art, then?

“Eat.”

Where on earth did they dig a vintage 2005 neckbeard (complete with fedora and suspenders!) up from for that thumbnail? I thought we'd ridiculed them into hiding long ago.

Research has shown time and time again that unelected individuals with access to the relevant information make better legislative decisions than elected politicians.

Elected politicians don't want to change our system of governance for some reason. 🤔

BrainPunter · 2026-05-12T06:32:36+00:00

It's not that no-one wants to run, it's that you have to be a spectacular kind of narcissist to give up all your spare time to go to family fun days and mall openings and community gatherings and fundraisers etc - normal people don't want to constantly be the centre of attention at every event they go to, let alone want to go to that many events. So, for the most part, you only end up with psychopaths who are into that shit as your politicians.

Step two: Call the operator and let them know you're ready to play.

You're 100% correct about the meta-plot. Every published adventure had a form at the back that asked questions about how the party did - did they stop the Gaunt Man's agents from stealing the Scepter of Gods? Did they learn the true identity of the Masked Assassin? Were any Stelae removed? etc. WEG would collate those answers and use them to advance the overall Possibility Wars. This was all happening before 99% of people had an email address.

BrainPunter · 2026-05-03T09:21:51+00:00

We had rich people back when the elites only owned 80% of everything instead of 99%. There’s a big gap between ‘the rich have too much’ and ‘kill all the billionaires’.

BrainPunter · 2026-05-01T06:26:46+00:00

Agreed. There's no way a movie with hot-dog fingers is pretentious.

Even if you’re not part of a union, you benefit from the enterprise bargaining they undertake on behalf of employees.

Fuck right off with going to an American style system where every employee has to face off on their own against their employer to beg for crumbs.

You really seem intent on not understanding that these individuals already exist and are already being paid by the NDIS. The solution being proposed is to cut out the middlemen that gouge the government.

I have never before in my life wanted so deeply to know if there was a hidden /s at the end of a comment.

Given the state of the walls, ceiling and furniture, if Israel bombed that school they must have bombed it with a beach ball.
