also, the first open letter was written by eight different computer scientists who are not the guy you're trying to nitpick about.

Stop making things up.

sorry I edited a comment before you replied to it.

you could have actually made a point.

must be rough.

I literally addressed her points in the other comment.

which part confused you?

she basically agrees with me.

the guy was right before in 2004, we know that Republicans do steal elections and try to steal one 4 years ago, so we should do recounts this time.

you didn't watch her video did you?

you just went along with the headline.

[–] Varyk 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (13 children)

"It references the guy who wrote the first open letter."

did you watch the video?

her conclusion is, "that guy was right before, the Republicans did steal the election in 2000, but maybe he isn't correct this time?"

maybe. let's do the recounts and see if those votes are there.

I think it makes sense to listen to the guy who was right about the Republicans stealing the election last time since we have evidence that they tried to steal the election 4 years ago, like straight up admitted by the electors who committed fraud.

your video supports my point.

" Rebecca Watson right-wing"

Why do you think she's right-wing?

"Yeah, sure you did"

Just because you don't care about the facts doesn't mean nobody else does.

enjoy your nitpicking.

I've seen that trash several times now

mega heads have been posting it.

have fun making things up.

[–] Varyk -3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (20 children)

I've seen that defeatist video several times.

[–] Varyk -4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (14 children)

you are delusional.

I watched your silly video.

do you also not believe in the fraudulent electors scheme that has been documented and happened and people have been convicted for?

do you not believe in the call Trump made to Georgia to try to literally create votes out of nothing?

you can post baseless YouTube videos all you want, they don't contradict the facts.

[–] Varyk 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

this is not clinging to conspiracies.

did you read the article?

this is court-based data that Trump's lawyers stole election software and now there are millions of votes that have never been there before.

this is hard evidence.

If it's true, it is a conspiracy just like the fraudulent elector scheme, that was a conspiracy and also real because of the facts and evidence behind it.

this is not the time to go all defeatist.

very little action needs to be taken by the people in those States to convince their secretary of State to do a manual recount, or people in other states to ask their secretary of State to pressure the soss in other states to do a recount.

legislation is often supported or not based on less than 100 people calling into their legislator's office, so the more people calling up their secretaries of state and election officials and demanding a recount, the better.

this is not a baseless accusation, there is hard evidence that Trump's lawyers had voting software, and a historical and statistical and probability that The voters that literally want Trump. the election are real or actually voted.

The likelihood is that those ballots are not there.

with this much actual evidence, there must be a recount.

you should demand it.

call or email your election officials. tell me your state and I'll tell you who to call or email.

[–] Varyk 11 points 2 months ago

" sorry, I bollocksed that last email."

then send the correct message.

 

I just came back today after years away and I have thousands of gems but I don't see any cool duo clothes or really anything to buy with my leftover gems, am I missing something? Did they remove all the duo outfits and stuff to buy with gems?

Thanks

 

I'm looking up fan theories again and keep coming across the claim that John Carpenter in an interview has said the 2002 video game is canon to his 1982 movie, but out of literally dozens of references I have not come across a single link or article quoting John Carpenter yet.

Is there anyone obsessed with this game or the movie who knows what interview I'm talking about?

Thanks for your help

 

I was looking for a pronunciation guide and found this music video. No idea what he's saying but the song sounds really cool.

Love all of his songs, this is the first one that hooked me. Actually this is the first song of his I listened to haha, so I guess I got hooked pretty quick.

My friends are superheroes

 

I loved the book, it was a very fun fever dream. Do the sequels have that same sort of frenetic energy?

Also, I'm not sure if I ever actually saw the movie or just saw clips of the movie in parodies and what not, does the movie at all follow the insane beats of the book?

All I recall is the futuristic plastic world, none of the crazy stuff in the book, which is leading me to think that maybe I haven't actually seen the movie.

Lucked out seeing them one night in Denver

 

I was checking if I had already listened to one of the HDTGM podcasts and when I pushed play, Jason was talking about having just seen this amazing band called mannequin pussy, and I thought the name alone was so good that I should check them out, and wouldn't it be funny if I could see them sometime in the future.

So I went on bandsintown, and turns out that in three days Mannequin pussy would be playing Philadelphia, their hometown and where I'm living for a few months, tonight!

And I went today and it was one of the coolest, explosive sets I've ever seen, absolutely phenomenal energy from the band, wild dancing. and the music was good and I ended up getting a t-shirt and a sticker pack because I had such a good time listening, whooping and throwing the goat.

And now I finally have a t-shirt with the word "pussy" on it, so that's pretty exciting. So long, item 7 of my bucket list.

Anyone else discover anything cool from HDTGM recs?

So in fast and the furious 9, the racecar number is 23, cellblock number is 23, dudes shirt is 23, there were like a dozen references to the number 23 in this movie that I saw just as a casual observer. Anyone know what's up with that? Is that in other fast and furious movies?

Maybe Jim Carrey was a silent producer.

Favorite HDTGM movie? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago by Varyk to c/hdtgm
 

There's only one correct answer here as far as I'm concerned, and that is Voyage of the Rock Aliens. I genuinely enjoyed this movie, laughed a lot, and still today listen to the music occasionally, long after my honeymoon phase of a month following my initial viewing when I listened to the soundtrack constantly. I often have a very different take than the HDTGM hosts about the movies featured on the podcast, so it was a real treat to find out they love this movie as much as I do and just listen to them riff about and fawn over the music and costumes and themes and characters while sounding like their minds were blown the whole time.

Team Fred vs Team Mom (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago by Varyk to c/hdtgm
 

Well, I've got to write about this because of the HDTGM controversy about Drop Dead Fred(1991), where at least half of the audience were on the side of Team Mom, opposite Team Fred. The argument for Team Fred is that Fred is Elizabeth's imaginary friend who allows Elizabeth to examine all the unseemly parts of her life and society so that she can process them, learn, develop and grow into an adult, but is stunted developmentally by her mom, who tapes Fred into a Jack-in-the-Box, halting Elizabeth's personal development into her adulthood. Elizabeth is pushed around and spoken to as a child for the next twenty-one years/ by her boyfriend and mother as an adult, until Elizabeth releases Fred from the Jack-in-the-Box, who encourages her to behave wildly in order to break free of the authoritarian strictures imposed upon her by, largely, her abusive mother. Team Mom's argument is that the Mom is a good mother and Fred is annoying and/or creepy, so the movie is bad. The Mom controls Elizabeth through fear, by telling Elizabeth that if she isn't a good girl, boys will run away from her, and that it is Elizabeth's fault her father left them both. According to Mom, everything that goes wrong is Elizabeth's fault and the way to being a good girl is to do everything her mother tells her to do. When Elizabeth tells her mother plainly what she wants, her mother ignores her wishes and compels her to do what Mom wants instead. To "help" Phoebe, Mom's solution is to dress her just like Mom and make her hair and make up like Mom's, then to give her drugs that stunt her emotionally by removing her capacity to deal with problems completely, firmly ensnaring Elizabeth into a less independent and more easily influenced state. A necessary tenet of Team Mom is the support of deliberate child abuse meant to perpetually blame and hobble a child emotionally so that they are easily controlled. Which is abominable. Team Fred all the way.
