1984 has the bleak ending…
Spoiler
He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother
They kept people docile in 1984 with war and rations
Maybe you are thinking of A Brave New World? (I haven’t read that)
I agree mostly but whats really funny about this episode is the meta around it.
They actually attacked a lot of things in the episode and every joke is actually pretty good
spoiler
Cartman’s whole B-Plot is outlining exactly where they are creatively. If it’s not controversial to say mean things, then whats the point of Cartman? Making fun of and pissing off Trump is their best chance at comedy right now.
Saddam voice is a great attack because they didn’t waste time trying to parody a wannabe middle eastern dictator
Likewise, because South Park Trump IS just Saddam. It is unlikely he will become a liked character like Mr Garrison’s Trump parody was
They haven’t used the F slur I think since season 13. They took two slurs that you can see people trying to mainstream again and directed them at Trump specifically numerous times.
For the record, I credit SouthPark for removing that word from the Zeitgeist for my friends and me. For a couple of months in 2009 thats what we called Harley riders, and then the joke got stale and with that the word just quit being said by us.
The main punchline of AI Trump naked in the desert is a direct challenge to use the “Take it Down Act”
I like to think that the episode wasn’t for fans as much as it was for Trump and team
I think the pay off (whether in real life or in the show itself) will be amusing in the end
Neocities is it’s own vibe all together.
There wasn’t much JS used on Geocities pages typically
That said, Neocities is the shit
I like to think of it as a lower case “t” when I see that it means “time to leave”

Not sure, but this is an example of an incredibly narrow car that had a pretty reasonable top speed
Some of the claims seem… un reasonable but it would have to be relatively stable to hit highway speeds
Welcome to the last 20 years. (Someone older than me would likely say last 40… and so on)
Defcon 25 appears to be the first year of the voting village.
That said the late 2000s were full of discussion on voting machine security prior to the addition of the voting village. This was all old news by the time voting village was added.
This documentary explains where security was in 2006

I haven’t watched this in a very long time but the hackers managed to procure source code from a public sever run by the company making the machines (Diebold I think) and faced some legal issues as a result.
They also illustrated a proof of concept attack where a counting machine was made to miscount votes to favor one person over another.
For people not in the know its very important to know that it is ILLEGAL for an independent 3rd party to perform penetration tests on voting machines without the manufacturer’s consent and the code that runs these machines is not public in any way that would allow for a proper audit of the systems to ensure that even the manufacturer has not tampered with the machine.
God, I just wish I could hitch a ride and slam some pan galactic gargle blasters for a while :(
Works the other way too.
If I take 100 Gallons of clean water and dump a gallon of sewage into it, would you pour yourself a glass?
I want to berate you if you were raised in the US and don’t know.
That said if you are younger than me in some states it’s been deemed un important over the last 20 years

This is referred to as “The Great Compromise”
Slave holding states wanted slaves to count for the census and free states saw that as un fair. So slaves got to count as 3/5ths of a person and everybody won! /s
No VA doctor should be refusing to treat any patient for those reasons. It’s absurd and unethical.
and they shit themselves in self defense.
Seems to work for them though /s

Cmon now, there are so many other great places to take a piss.
Have you considered the Alamo?
Whiskey is the key to a natural glow
Chuck will lead the way
Cost of tea had very little to do with the Boston Tea Party.
After taxes on the tea were applied it was still the cheapest tea had ever been in the colonies
I mean, he is still 980 MILLION dollars away from being a mere billionaire. He is WAAAAAAAAY closer to you and me
I want HomeKit compatibility. OR something hackable that requires no cloud connection. These companies are not our friends and have betrayed our trust at every step.
