IIRC there’s some Gregorian calendar shit that went on that switches the dates around, idk I watched Lady Izdihar talk about it in a short. I’m not even gonna try to pretend that I understand it

I'm not sure anything significant was gained. Bet global cancer rates went up in proportion though.
His message was hope. As in, I hope the US doesn't disappear you into another country and torture you to death.
Same as with all the children-safety bullshit lately. They intentionally name it something that you would be insane to disagree with. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE AGAINST THE CHILD SAFETY ACT, ARE YOU A PEDOPHILE?" No, I just refuse to scan my face for my 19 year old e-mail account you dickhead.
You might soon get to live out the story for real. Because if you think Trump will let the dems win the midterms, you're dreaming.
No but that’s not stopping them from using it.
V for Vendetta hit theaters 4 years after 9/11 and even though it was an old story, those of us who’d protested the war in Iraq and before that, Bush’s steeling of the election, saw ourselves in that story.
War Is Peace.
Freedom Is Slavery.
Ignorance Is Strength.
Neither Dubya nor Trump have invented this.
And Obama reauthorized it with NO CHANGES in 2010 and then signed a full renewal in 2011. The machine will continue until an actual champion of hope and change gains power.
That was exactly the plan.
That's why no one even bothered reading it.
lol. with a name like patriot act and freedom act you can't oppose it without loosing political points...
Nah, man, it's been like, ten years, at most...
Service pack 2, which made the OS usable from a security standpoint, didn't come out for almost another three years.
My understanding is that the UN was originally based in San Francisco
They weren't based there but the United Nations Conference on International Organization (where the UN Charter was drafted the year prior) was there.
And that kernel is the only good thing in windows
Huh. My understanding is that the UN was originally based in San Francisco and then moved to NYC. The London angle is news to me.
Sonny Bono served as a U.S. representative in the mid-90s and, for some reason, sponsored the copyright term extension act. I'm sure it was altruistic on his part. /s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act
Since 1990, The Walt Disney Company had lobbied for copyright extension.[14][15] The legislation delayed the entry into the public domain of the earliest Mickey Mouse cartoons, leading detractors to the nickname "The Mickey Mouse Protection Act".[1]
In addition to Disney, California congresswoman Mary Bono (Sonny Bono's widow and Congressional successor), and the estate of composer George Gershwin supported the act. Mary Bono, speaking on the floor of the United States House of Representatives, said:
"Actually, Sonny wanted the term of copyright protection to last forever. I am informed by staff that such a change would violate the Constitution. ... As you know, there is also [then-MPAA president] Jack Valenti's proposal for term to last forever less one day. Perhaps the Committee may look at that next Congress."[16]
About old Jack, he had everyone's best interests at heart. Also /s.
Jack Joseph Valenti (September 5, 1921 – April 26, 2007) was an American political advisor and lobbyist who served as a Special Assistant to U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson. He was also the longtime president of the Motion Picture Association of America. During his 38-year tenure in the MPAA, he created the MPAA film rating system, and was generally regarded as one of the most influential pro-copyright lobbyists in the world.
Not to be confused with Judge Reinhold, who is also not a real judge.
Kinda wish they did more episodes with it. I don't fully recall but I remember thinking it could've been better.
