The Duke was the best controller ever made.

I think you just wrote like 6 Hallmark movies in one go.

It was already too late by then.

That’s somewhat common here if you don’t live in the area that the library system serves. For instance you might live over the county line but this library is still far closer than the ones your taxes go to.

So much of modern life feels like ‘internet troll’ became a personality affectation.

This is the 21st century though so it’s going to be sub-dermal RFID tags that get scanned like toll booth passes in cars.

There were 53 million households in the US with cable when the fairness doctrine was eliminated in 1987. Cable and the Internet are where and why the people we have been talking about weren’t deplatformed. The Internet has been around since the 60s. I think you might be confusing it with the World Wide Web which is a 90s thing.

What if you could math the monkeys?

Trump has said that his favorite president is Andrew Jackson… the dude who perpetrated the Trail of Tears…

AFAIK the alert voices, like the ones for the NOAA, were automated already.

I can’t agree with you on the fairness doctrine specifically; first it only applied to over-the-air broadcasting, (so ABC, NBC, etc.) but not cable or the Internet. Secondly it was largely interpreted by these networks as forcing fringe views into the main stream. So they would have a faith healer on at the same time as a doctor, or a creationist on at the same time as a paleontologist. There are those who feel that this led directly to our current “my faith is as important as your reason” problem.

What kind of Mandela effect shit is this?

I’ve spent more time than I would like to admit trying to fact check this. I swear when the special editions came out one of the behind the scenes was about restoring the scene with the fur coat Jabba that had appeared in the first pre-title-crawl version. Now all I can find are references to it being rereleased at least 4 times before the special edition but nothing about scene edits.
