Sporkfoot the Shaved Georgia Skunk Ape has never been known for brilliant rhetoric or insightful discussion. She's done nothing but grandstand, screech hate-filled nonsense, and gin up people dumber than herself.
Oh, and be buddy-buddy with BoBo the clown and Gaspaedo.
Gaspaedo has always had a sixhead, and been bailed out by Daddy"s dollars.
A combination of a 'tradition' of anti-intrllectualism and an education systen that has depreciated the value of critical thinking skillls.
I'm not sure what annoys me more - her stupidity, her open hypocrisy (wouldn't care if she was an adulterous harlot if she wasn't part of a party that is regressive and oppressive), or the fact that people value her for a combination of her appearance and deliberate offensiveness. She exhibits every behavior that Aviator wearing redneck truck video makers imagine 'them Antifas' do,being shrill and obnoxious and 'disrespectful', and they're okay with it because they think it somehow 'owns the libs'.
Wasn't able to pull her bullshit when her Fuhrer was indicted in NYC - she needs more FAFO in her life.
You forgot the Zangief cosplayer.
More and more I'm convinced she's actually a shaved Skunk Ape, rebelling against the good nature of her kind. That hideous fur coat she wore is made from her shavings. Her actual name is Sporkfoot, as far as I'm concerned.
Engagement is not a bad thing. Some creators need the dopamine hit of feedback. As an infrequent poster of super niche nature, I relate intensely. I just don't have any current written or spoken content to put out right now.
The biggest shock/challenge to me is how many would explicitly be okay with the example set for their children or acceptance of such as a prospective in-law. You ask any of those chucklefucks if they'd let their daughter date a jackass like a Trump clone, they'd almost guaranteedly balk...unless they are the sort to admit they're exactly the same. And those would be the sorts who would encourage their sons to act the same.
Good. Fuck ElMu. ElMu sucks.
Not that you're wrong, but the rodent comparison, in light of reading this on Lemmy, gave me a chortle.
Well played - my proverbial cap is doffed.
My first distro was SlackWare 7.
I'm not anywhere near my desktop(s) but it has largely been an Ubuntu box of differing flavors.
Though I experimented with Yoper, Knollix, SuSe, Mint, and a few other distros.
Something Something learn from the past Something Something repeat it.
When has Sporkfoot ever been useful?
Without being full-on pointed, it gives the vaguely plausible deniability of actually representing her region, if not the people of her region. That nothing else, Sporkfoot's internal ugliness made manifest explains why she was adulterous with a Zangief cosplayer - she couldn't find a Sasquatch cosplayer.
The big concern is that people will sour on it.

The immediate thought that came to mind waa a semi-procedural space trading/combat game that crafted galaxies inspired by netword structures and connected devices, with the router serving as the 'stargate' and resources not actually pulling anything from the systems involved. Smart devices could show up as ships or satellites, or planets depending on the types of devices involved.
Something of a cross between Star Control/ Ur-Quan Masters, No Man's Sky, and maybe Allegiance?
While I am by no means a Clinton fan, a huge part of the student loan hellscape is less Clinton active malice/stupidity and more Gingrich and company leverage - AKA the usual right-wing obstructionist bullshit that people gave them the numbers to force through. It wasn't helped by Clinton's need to cave due to getting sloppy toppies in the Oval Office and the huge stink Newt and Starr raised to get their way...or the Perot school of 'fuck you I got mine' Libertarians who apparently needed placating to keep the Dems in office.
No gun is required when so-called self-interests are threatened. He shouldn't have caved, but then he also shouldn't have given credence to the welfare and social safety net talking points from the Reich wing. And the CBC damned well shouldn't have gone along with bullshit 'tough on crime' narratives.
I don't completely disagree, though the argument bears the advantage of hindsight. My suspicion is that the balance of the problem stemmed from the typical right wing obsession with the desire to obliterate the social safety net but the lack of pushback was due to an explicit underestimating of the scope of resulting fuckery - see also those black politicians who didn't push back on Tough on Crime bullshit. People made bad calls out of panic and circumstances, and fixing the problems are far simpler onbpaper than in application, particularly because of those who see the situation as a feature, not a bug.
I used this name for a specific purpose, then that purpose became irrelevant. With the API fubar, I ditched both of my profile names though this does bone one purpose of one of the old aliases (for my NSFW work) so I may end up bringing it back in some form. I like this name better though.
A comparatively mundane example, and possibly unremarkable to many, but I habe incredibly strong feelings about Spider Robinson's "Callahan's Crosstime Saloon" and "Callahan's Lady" series. In particular, I read them during an extremely difficult point in my life, and the eponymous Law of Conservation of Pain and Joy completely changed me and my motivation in life.

Mainly because I named my phone The Slab. It's a Note 10+, and I did the whole notification profile as different Courage screams.
Because some medical experts deem it a valid and valued preventative remedy for severe phimosis. While I don't concur, my grandfather developed a case late in life that necessitated surgical remediation.
This reminds me of a terrible moment from my past.
A then-girlfriend and I were at the local Wal-Mart (don't judge, no better places were open and nearby) at around 11PM, before the Plague Times, when I had to hit the head. I go into the front restrooms to tap a kidney when I notice the stall past the urinals is occupied; no big deal. Then I noticed there were two sets of feet.
Both facing the same direction.
Being a non-bigot non-prufe, I do my business and go to wash my hands, when I hear a VERY loud 'HNNNNNGH' from the stall. Okay, yeah. No comment, just wash and GTFO.
I rendezvous with the girlfriend and she asks what's with the look on my face. I start to lead her away before even considering the idea of explaining, and before we could get out of range, the explanation reveals itself. It turns out it was a young man, maybe late teens at oldes. Tow-headed, very blue eyes, EXTREMELY developmentally impaired. His guardian - I presume father - follows closely, looking utterly miserable. I didn't say anything but the youth did anothoer grunting bellow and I unwittingly winced. The guardian also cringed, and we briefly made eye contact. He sorts shrank and dragged his ward off, who was loudly happy and oblivious.
They turned out to be regular odd-hours features. The kid would always wave excitedly if he saw us from the McDonald's up front, and his guardian at least seemed relieved that we didn't say anything unkind. Poor dude, was probably mortified by the prospect of a misunderstanding, especially here in the Texas hellscape. Not helped that the guardian had an extreme case of pedo-stash and rat-faced nebbishness.
I can only imagine how bad it could have been had it been anyone else.
