FACT CHECK: A solar flare can't damage a Nokia 3310, nor a Game cube.

EDIT: But it'd delay next gen's launch, so that's bad.

Asteroid is still my favorite tho.

Why you got to make the most likely option minority only? Racist.  I can be murdered by Nazis if I want to.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again:  Ted Kaczynski is the acedemics' terrorist and you plebs can't have him.

Well, most of his views were formed in the 70's. We must be place people and their views in the context of the time and until a better candidate comes along to take his mantle, people can back off from our boy. 

Also, the view of you, conditing your hair to peek shine, spraying yourself with Eternity for Men, then relaxing to a quiet evening of shitposting and reading the Unabomber's manifesto in the middle of the global pandemic is concerning.  Are you doing OK?

i’ve looked up et’s reddit profile 2 or 3 times since he’s gotten banned just to check in on him. idk if i was expecting him to radicalize a little more, but, hes pretty much the exact same mesh of takes with the exact same distribution of posts he always was: it’s just guild wars, the kings, and normie common-sense disguised as heroic contrarianism. a hermeneutic of suspicion towards anything leftward with cries of measured sympathy for everything reactionary. it’s why i felt this board was a little too indulgent when it dogpiled on him (not that he shouldnt’ve gotten dogpiled on at all) and why i’ve always wanted his ban to be lifted. he’s the kind of idiot anyone can manage to be. and a person like that has to be reformable, right?

Celeb nudes are at an all time low interest.
Maybe some Twitch Titty Streamer, would do it for the zoomers.
