Ninja going to Mixer or Pewdiepie and Dlive didn't change much in the landscape of livestreaming.
That feel when most of your 'fanbase' are just there because everyone else is.
Everything people do to me is motivated by political hatred.
Everything I do to people is for their own good.
I guess when he's anointed with the holy chrism his past sins will be cleansed, as surely as Donald Trump's were.

You do know what job he's up for, right?
In that picture it's not her top I'm worried about, it's the bottom sitting next to her.
I know about phone modems, but I wasn't sure how it worked without a microcomputer (as they were called at the time).
Well, think about the old external modems, not the ones that were on a card plugged into the mobo. They were self-contained boxes that plugged into a serial line from the computer on one end and the phone network on the other end. (Or, for real vintage back in the Ma Bell days, an acoustic coupler that plugged into the serial line of a PC on one end and had a spot for your phone handset to sit!) But if you could rig up another device to output the same kind of serial output, it would plug in just fine. And you can get a lot done without a computer - remember that the early arcade games like Pong weren't running on computers, they were dedicated single-purpose electronics. No CPU capable of reading instructions, just logic chips.
I had no idea about the teletype.
Oh, that's a neat corner of history. Not my field of expertise certainly but one of those odd things I'd come across. While Telex didn't use phone lines - at least not at first - it had much of the same basic idea hardware-wise: Dial a number, type, your "typewriter" converts it into something analog that gets sent across the wire, and someone somewhere else sees the output in addition to you. Here's one in use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qv5xw4fsh8&feature=youtu.be&t=97
Or, if you take the modem out, here's a teletype hooked straight to a Mark-8, one of the earliest do-it-yourself minicomputers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzPHdoOU8DQ Add in two modems and a phone network (well, a phone network capable of handling fax/modem data connections - becoming less common these days) and you could have those two parts in different countries.
Sorry, I can't hear you over my clock striking thirteen.
In government? I suppose someone on Heron Road still knows what they're doing but that just means they'll be the Adeptus Mechanicus.
(Me, I was just there to nanny one of their offices through the trauma of moving a few boxes. Man, if you ever thought working for the tax man was an option, talk to a lifer.)
somehow entered programs over the phone
I find it cute how you phrase it like it was magic. They probably had a terminal, smart or dumb, with a modem. (As in an actual make-screechy-noises-into-a-phone-line modem, not a cable modem.) If you recall what a DOS prompt is, imagine one of those except the commands are being run on another machine instead of yours because your machine isn't a computer, it's just a screen, keyboard, and a connection to the phone network. In modern parlance, the thinnest possible thin client.
If it was really vintage the terminal had no screen, just an electromechanical teletype. Instead of printing to a traditional printer on the other end, the TTY would print to a punched-card printer, then some person on the other end set up and fed the punched cards into the mainframe, taking the output cards and feeding them back into a device that read the cards and sent the output back to the teletype in the school. From the students' point of view it'd be like typing a program on a typewriter and then an hour or day later the typewriter prints the result of the program by itself.
Fun IT fact: The Canada Revenue Agency still uses an ancient mainframe/terminal setup to manage the tax system. CRA agents who think they're smart call the program used to access that a "DOS program" but it's actually a terminal emulator. A Windows 7 or 10 computer being used to emulate what's effectively a typewriter with a monitor attached from the 1970's or 1980's.
(None of them know why the program references F13 through F24 to refer to shift-F1 through shift-F12, not even the ones who think they're smart.)
150m from schools, 150m from abortion clinics, 150m from hospitals, 150m from anything medical like a pharmacy.... Before long you have the 'right' to say what you want, just so long as you're 150m away from everything and everyone.

It's attention seeking.
It's Twitter. The two are synonyms.
You know who else killed random political undesirables in the street?
Given the entire lawsuit was a cavalcade of people telling her things like "Don't push this, you can't win." or "Don't say this, it'll damage your case." or "Don't do this, it will cost you." and her charging ahead anyway, I think we can safely say she'll never learn.

I thought humans had some basic anti-incest wiring that keeps most of us from finding people we grew up around sexy. Did that just not exist with these people?
(Looks at heredity chart on Wikipedia.)
Holy shit, there was literally no new genetic stock introduced for five generations. You have 32 great-great-grandparents. She had TWO. And one of those great-great-grandparents was himself the product of a brother and sister.
(Well, technically more than two since there was so much niece-uncle pairing that the generational count gets muddled so her great-great-grandparents along one chain are her great-great-great-great-grandparents along another, but I think that's splitting hairs since all the other great-great-grandparents are also part of the knot below those two progenitors. If they had something like Reddit back then there'd be posts like "TFW your brother impregnates both your sisters and you have to wait for one of their kids to come of age to get yours.")
EDIT: I suspect this is exactly why animal breeders (where inbreeding for traits can be common) that I've seen use a different chart that just branches off 2 ways each generation no matter what and lets you figure out how many different critters are involved. This "tree" is so much spaghetti.
Once again the woke squad attempts to criticize and colonize something as being gatekept when the only barrier to entry is "go out and do the thing".
Twitter is built on likes/faves and retweets: Congratulating people for doing something people have done hundreds of thousands of times for seven years.
I'll fix that:

So Yelp's doing their own bluechecks now?
This is what we get for convincing ourselves science was a bulwark unassailable by the pomo barbarians.
They had the universities. This was inevitable.
Well, there was an outside chance it wouldn't be used because it will chase away yet more male voters
I don't think there's any male voters left there, just women and "allies".
I've been steadily loosing followers over the past few months. I'm embarassed to admit; there used to be a time I cared about that.
That he's noticed and taken to Twitter to whine about it tells me he still does.
Hell, I'd give even odds he's got his Socialblade page bookmarked.
Or people who took high school biology.
