Back to the Future on NES. All I remember is a series of pain in the ass mini games having little to nothing to do with the plot. One of them was called “That Sinking Feeling”, where Marty apparently had to platform his way out of his own stomach.

And E.T. of course, fuck that game.

They began trying to stoke doubt on mail-in voting years ago, along with trying to gut the postal service. We could see all this coming long before the election.

EDIT: Grammar

It could tell them there’s likely a live person receiving their bullshit, so continue spamming with other means.

Bear in mind these are all just ideas I have about how they operate, based on nothing really. I try to imagine how spammers analyze data they receive to target us.

Edit: In italics

I always block them right away. My idea is that any interaction flags you as ‘positive direct contact’ in their scumbag networks, making them likely to increase the spamming. I realize the act of blocking may in itself trigger this, if they track undeliverable contact, but idk what else to do.

We’ve all seen these people. We know they exist and carry on saying stuff like that. The old grandads and uncles who used to mutter these things, often harmlessly or even comically…the internet has brought them together and compounded the problem. Misery loves company.

Can there be hope for improvement? I think these people would have to understand what they’re doing to themselves first, but they seem to prefer things this way. We need some sort of social media rehab or crotchety curmudgeon awareness.

Erykah Badu, I did some work at her house a few times. She was very nice when I spoke with her, but usually I dealt with another lady. The first time I rolled up I figured she would be cool when I saw “FORGIVE” spray-painted across her garage.
