I am still not clear as to why YouTube suggested Night Club to me but I'm glad it did.

#14 welder's glass unable to be located. Is a knotted rope blindfold a good enough substitute?

Then it's probably best to not watch the video and/or make direct eye contact with LMNO until you can get the #14 welder's glass.

That is not safe.

Well, then our new friend should watch it though #14 welder's glass.

Greetings, y'all!

In my experiences on this earth, I have learnt that I am "extremely weird" and "random" and "cringey" and that "it's not socially acceptable to be yourself in a company of more than three close friends". And so, I turn to Discordianism (and the Welcome to Night Vale podcast) to find myself. And my socks. I don't where they went either.

And please, call me St. Mannie. Or any other nickname you deem appropriate.

:banana:
My favorite welcome to Nightvale is the "If he had lived" episode about JFK surviving the assassination, and decades, centuries, Millennia of his rule after.

My personal theory is that JFK is the Distant Prince.

I haven't seen that episode yet. I'm only up to 38. If I listen to it now would it still make sense within the plot, or should I catch up choronologically?

And greetings, LMNO! What does that even stand for? Does it stand for anything?

For your safety please watch this informative video on LMNO.

Everything's fine, the financial news is saying the markets are "bouncing back" (after historic losses, but shh). Everything is fine, crisis averted.

Just in case there are people who have not heard the phrase, "dead cat bounce."

Quote from: Wikipedia
In finance, a dead cat bounce is a small, brief recovery in the price of a declining stock.[1] Derived from the idea that "even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height",[2] the phrase, which originated on Wall Street, is also popularly applied to any case where a subject experiences a brief resurgence during or following a severe decline.

Even without that comment from the 6th, it's like he doesn't understand how utterly fucking stupid that shit makes him sound.

Worse than that, this is the shit he thinks is smart.

Even worse than that, a scary number of people think this is smart.
Absolutely. He has two modes: brag and spite.

Donald J. Trump, the first truly American president.

It's a good start but it leaves out the very important concern that "the people" can be dumb, panicky, racist assholes. Remember that "the people" used jury nullification to prevent lynching murderers from facing justice, "the people" compromised that other people only count for 3/5ths, and don't get to vote in any case, "the people" made being gay illegal, and "the people" keep voting against raising taxes to pay for the things they need.

I see some of that as oligarchs still attempting to keep the people from having a proper say in how their society should function.  Aspects that don't fall under that umbrella could likely be minimized with access to good education and encouraging the meet of those different than oneself.
