It’s Trump season again! USA is the cornucopia of absurd news for a few years, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Conspiracy crap tends to be pretty absurd as it is. Comping up with writings that surpass that level of stupidity and insanity is not a trivial task. Hats off to anyone who can come up with anything that competes with lizard people or flat earth fantasies.

c/PondsmithWasRight? Anyone?

This is beginning to sound a lot like Cyberpunk. Corporations act like governments while NUSA takes a backseat.

It’s important to figure out if the other person is really playing the same ballgame as you are. Once you realize that the rule books don’t match, it’s time to cut your losses and move on.

Took me many years to understand that, but once I did, I’ve saved so much time. For example, you might be talking to a flat-earther thinking that it’s a debate where logic and facts matter. Spoiler: it’s not. The rules aren’t what you initially thought, and there’s no way to win. You winning just isn’t in their rule book at all.

It’s because of display size.

Back in the ancient times people used to divide mobile devices into phones, phablets and tablets. Nowadays, most phones are about the size of a phablet, so you totally have the screen real estate for buttons.

Oh yeah. This is the sort of stuff that will be in the news all the time from now on. It’s pretty crazy already, but just remember what it was like during the pandemic. We were so deep in crazy town that nothing was considered surprising any more.

Even the name matches. Best of all, this Luce is an interrogator working for the inquisition. This is just next level irony. 🤣

Well, there’s the wikipedia article about the discovery of nuclear fission. I mean, you could read that, or trust this one guy at work who says that “wikipedia is all lies”. Yes, that’s word-for-word what he told me when we were discussing GMOs, so I guess the same applies to nuclear fission too.

Found my favorite. I knew someone must have thought of the 40k connection before me.

Next up: a racing game where you can’t drive any of the cars. Should be a pretty unique experience.

Remember when Trump had daily Covid announcements or when he was still on Twitter? Pretty much everything he did or said was so absurd that cracking jokes about it became a serious challenge. How do you come up with a fictional scenario that is more over the top than actual reality.
