Oh, boy, that brings back memories of being a teenager in the early 90s. Grandpa gifted me his old CB, got it setup and tuned in, and immediately turned it off.
It's just that back then, those people weren't glamorized with fancy titles like "podcaster" or "influencer". They were just garden variety cranks everyone knew to just ignore.
Truth.
And given all that's happened between the original run of KoTH and the present, I found Dale a lot less charming in the reboot.
I'm not saying the concept didn't exist then. There was just a higher barrier to entry than buying a microphone.
Nedry was literally a computer scientist and systems designer / programmer from Cambridge. Arnold was a theme park engineer (designing rides and control systems; some programming involved but a whole different paradigm than developing large systems).
Source: Have read the novel 50+ times.
Arnold was an engineer, though. He was competent in using the system and not totally lost when poking around the code, but he's no computer scientist. Basically, he was a power user / sysadmin rather than a developer.
Fucking with and/or interfering with someone trying to bring their lost pet home is in the top 3 dick moves you can do as a human.
Just a plain, simple tailor 😎
Literally the best thing you can do for your experience here is just start blocking any account that starts throwing out political labels at any other account. Just block and don't look back.
Basically pretending to be an organic grass-roots movement or to plant the seeds but the movement is to either destabilize or otherwise benefit a foreign entity.
How do you do my fellow Americans? How about we just start burning stuff down?
Basically shit like that (it's not always that transparent except when it is exactly that transparent). See it pretty often even on here (less so since I've enabled "turbo" on my block button).
I guess what I'm saying is we should get the hell rid of it all so eventually public opinion won't be swayed by cheap foreign labor, bots, and people who just want to burn it all down.
I've blocked so many accounts on here that are clearly not Americans just straight up trying to incite shit in US news / politics communities. I don't know what's worse: the number of upvotes those get or how transparent they are.
Or, you know, we could just quit it with this generational shaming nonsense. It's not like human beings are complex creatures or anything.
