Don’t make it easier to join. Having a technical barrier to entry, even a minor one, helps keep the idiots that ruined Reddit out. History has shown, repeatedly, that when technology is easy for anyone to adopt, then every idiot imaginable will use it and drag down the average, and the interfaces tend to be dumbed down and constantly reinvented to enable said idiots easier access. Then you’re stuck with enshitification and “graphic design is my passion” feature and UI changes that nobody wants.

Here in Illinois is Woodstock, at ~25,600 (2020 per Wikipedia). It was the town where Groundhog Day was filmed. There’s even some small road signs here and there mentioning it for the rare tourist who comes to see it. Smallest place in the state I can think of, though there’s smaller towns that have been used for movies.

Some upcoming off-brand Hallmark x-mas movie will feature local tourist trap town Long Grove IL, pop ~ 8,300 (2020 per Wikipedia). The director grew up near there so knew about it and thought it’d be perfect for his movie.

Ah yes. Definitely a hallucination. Nothing sinister going on here, nope.

Sure. I mean death still comes one to a customer and I’m no different.

Y’all = you all, which is gender neutral.

Also that map is missing the Chicagoland y’all exclave.

If I want to play a factory game where you need to build defenses I’d go play Factorio and maybe stab myself in the throat a little because that’s about how fun having to deal with enemies in a factory game is.

Apparently asking what people are going to do to relax after voting must be taboo, because my post got deleted without me being told why.

It’s not just “hitting” when it’s done with explosives and bullets, and the ones doing the killing aren’t children. They’re all bad and all need to be stopped from abusing and slaughtering noncombatants. If you think that’s a hot take, hey congrats, you’ve discovered the thinking that perpetuates the violence.

They’re all pretty boring.

Both. Lose cables are annoying.

Remember kids, nothing matters.

I would most prefer the Tyrant (the judeo-muslim-Christian God) because nothing tastes better than vindictive spite.

Because it’ll probably hurt more.

Lemmings. A creature with a (erroneous but nevertheless extant) reputation for idiotically following each other off a cliff to die.

Quick, what’s Elon’s email address? Uh, pic unrelated.

What do you mean “secretly?” Fuck that.

Random chance but also the anthropic principle.

Because they’re stupid enough to think a Trump presidency will be better for their cause somehow. Or they’re delusional enough to think that a 3rd party candidate will be anything but a spoiler, like they were in 2016. Seriously, protest votes after the DNC forced out Bernie were likely what led to Trump getting in. So while it’s the DNC and Hillary’s fault, the feet on the ground were the idiots.

Always ask about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.
