We need a constitutional amendment where anything an elected official says in an official capacity is under oath and under the same standards as we are when we officially speak to them.
Being allowed to lie in office is why we are so divided.
Star Fox ran 3D polygon graphics on a console with no hardware for rendering them. Nintendo and Argonaut Software solved it by building a coprocessor, the Super FX chip, into the cartridge itself, so every copy of the game physically upgraded the machine the moment you pushed it into the slot. The polygons were computed inside the plastic box on your shelf. They called the console the Super Nintendo, which seemed strange, because the super part was sold separately.
The Konami Code started as a testing shortcut in Gradius, a way for developers to skip ahead without replaying levels. When it turned up in the NES port of Contra, entering Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start before the game began gave you 30 lives instead of three. Kids loved trading the Konami Code on the playground, especially after realizing the only way anyone actually beat Contra was by admitting the game wasn't beatable straight.
Mad Max was made in 1979 for approximately $350,000 Australian. George Miller had directed one short film. Mel Gibson was unknown. The production filmed on public roads in Victoria with minimal permits. When the film was distributed in the United States, the Australian cast was dubbed with American voices to help audiences follow the dialogue, specifically because the distributor had already decided American audiences could not follow Australian dialogue without help. It made $100 million worldwide.
Beverly Hills Cop was written as a Sylvester Stallone film. Stallone left weeks before production to make something darker. The script he took became Cobra. Eddie Murphy stepped in and improvised significant portions of the dialogue, including the hotel check-in scene, which was not scripted. Beverly Hills Cop made $316 million and Cobra made $49 million, and the reason is that Beverly Hills Cop made $267 million more than Cobra.
From the 1970s through the early 1990s, ABC, CBS, and NBC competed for the same two-to-three-hour Saturday morning window. The networks programmed original animation and spent heavily on it. Kids memorized the schedule from TV Guide. The last major block ended in 2004. Most people who miss it mainly miss having three hours on a Saturday where their parents left them alone.
Every Friday night, approximately one hundred percent of Americans who had driven to a video store made a three-ninety-nine financial commitment based entirely on whether a man on a VHS cover looked like he was solving a problem or creating several new ones. There were no reviews. There were no trailers available to you. There was cover typography, the size of the explosions relative to the actor's head, and a paragraph on the back written by the same person who had to make "he must stop them before it's too late" sound different every single time. You became, out of pure survival necessity, an expert in the semiotics of illustrated font choices and whether a woman in a torn dress indicated horror or a worse kind of movie your parents would ask about later. The video store clerk knew nothing and was asked everything. Getting home and discovering the movie was bad meant you had misread the cover, which was on you. There was no appeals process.
Smedley Butler won two Medals of Honor, invaded Haiti, Nicaragua, and Honduras, and then wrote a pamphlet calling himself a racketeer for Standard Oil and the United Fruit Company. This pamphlet was called War Is a Racket and was published in 1935. He is the most decorated Marine in American history. His pamphlet is not in the official Marine history. Neither is the part where he explained exactly what the invasions were for
Sun Tzu wrote that supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting, and he almost certainly meant the Costco sample station, where resistance is the social law against a second toothpick within the same visual memory of a stranger. The double-back requires a twenty-foot loop to establish the fiction of a different customer, after which you return in the same coat and face, and the demonstrator hands you another toothpick because her job description does not include this.

@DALLASBRADEN209@Mr_GCU For context, there are people wearing sweaters and jackets.. and almost no one wearing shorts. This is odd behavior, considering it was 105 today…🤔
The snyderbots are at it again.
@WBHomeEnt don’t be fooled by this stupid campaign.
And to the snyderbots… this is dead. Stop doing this. It’s only hurting what you claim you love.
@Garrett_Archer You have a problem with it now?!? Not when the Dems were doing it in 2020 though huh. (Or 22 or 24)
Cool, glad you finally agree with most of us. Now have the same fervor when Dems do it please
@CNylanderKVOA It doesn’t matter! Any rational person can look at that shirt & see the similarity. Even if they wore a year ago. You can’t tell me a group of 8 teachers couldn’t have recognized a white shirt w/ black writing, blood on the left side & recognize the extremely obvious implication
