Title: No News Is Good News
Post by: Cramulus on January 21, 2020, 06:16:26 PM
The news is stressing me out these days - so I'm going to completely unplug it, and only get my news from this thread.

Please let me know if anything important happens in the world. I will believe anything you post and will not do any fact checking.


Thanks,


Cramulus

We, as a nation, just shot Marvin in the face.

That one sentence is all you actually need to know about every single news story currently on the AP site.

Things fell apart, and no one did much of anything.

Nobody did anything? I thought we just shot Marvin. That seems like progress. I think we should accidentally shoot him again.

I didn't see anything in the OP insisting on trivialities like "consistency".

Marvin is a platonic ideal.  He is being shot in the face at any point in time in which he is observed.

This is how progress occurs:  Through acts of massive incompetence.

By this logic, Trump should be the best thing that ever happened to America. His intentions are evil and he never does anything right. He *should* be fucking up his fascist agenda so bad that he accidentally erases student loan debt and creates a single payer health system.

You took that to mean "progressive".  I said it to mean "how events move along."

If we get a canny leftist as president he paved the way for that by taking military money away to build his wall.  The supreme court ruled it was ok to spend military money on an emergency.  Our next president could declare student loan debt and folks being uninsured as emergencies.

I approve of this sort of self-amplifying pendulum effect.

World war 3 Happened, but in the world of proxy nations fighting wars for the superpowers it was entirely fought in EVE online.
Ukrainian hackers won, and everyone but Norway have had to go to the IMF for a bailout.

Cram, you missed so much: here's the best two highlights.

As of last week, sports is outlawed by the European Union, and porn is the new international pastime publicly, not just privately. Unfortunate implications from this change led to the declaration of France as a mistake in the timeline, now rectified. Old France is expected to complete its fly-by of Neptune in May, and New France is a pit of horror that is currently having the world's biggest tarp draped over it so we don't have to see it while the paradox works itself out.

Also, Eris returned from wherever she was with a filthy litter box and broke into your apartment with it. She then dumped it all over your stovetop, turned your microwave upside down, and mixed your ketchup and maple syrup bottles into your household cleaning supplies. No explanation was provided.

That explains a lot, actually.

This is weirdly plausible.
