Average millennial man here and while I grew up around tons of racist shitheads I’ve never met a nazi aside from seeing prison tats at the shitty bars (we were not nice to those people).

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

I literally have a tattoo based on this book cover and the first thing I said to the artist who designed it was “no swastikas,” despite me agreeing with that depiction of the American government.

I’m being snobby but I love this video series 1000% more than the tiny desk concerts (which are still fun!)

My buddy Nebraska Dave showed me this couple months after it came out and I watch it at least once a year.

No car/truck/van should have the ability to go over 40mph. We have planes and trains for freight and quick trips.

If every human controlled vehicle slowed down to 40 mph we’d save millions of lives a year across the globe.

Nobody ever says "I wish I'd played more video games" when they die. Video games haven't been around long enough. I may be the first to say it.

Scary Movie 4 is very forgettable outside of any scene where Anna Farris and Regina Hall share. But they did do a 9/11 parody which for 2006 is pretty insane to think about.

The president (played by Leslie Nielsen) is told a second thing happened.

This was actually the first MM song I ever heard because it was in a random CKY video years before Good News came out. When I realized it was the same band I had a legit ratatouille moment.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

Oct 14th - #Hackers of the world united to overload the Gibson, and prevent the Da Vinci virus from capsizing an oil fleet, designed to distract from "The Plague's" worm stealing $25m.

📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Hackers" (1995): First, a group of young people is gathered in a subway car, with one reading a paper as another looks on, while a subtitle reads, "Wait a minute. The 14th... that's the same day the worm ends its run." Second, a person with a striking hairstyle and colorful clothing stands in front of a vibrant, patterned backdrop, saying, "Hackers of the world, unite." Third, a person leans out of a car window, passionately shouting, "Hack the planet!"
