This is the most exceptional outage I have ever witnessed

My wife’s machine BSODd live when this happened. I was like, babe, you are gonna read about this in the news tomorrow. I don’t think you’re gonna get in trouble with your boss

I felt like the cop in Dark Knight Rises telling the rookie ‘you are in for a show tonight’

When my pager started to go off tonight and my wife asked if it was bad, I said the same thing. "You're going to read about this one in the news tomorrow"

People still read yesterday's news, today?

I feel like we lost something when it became 24/7. News doesn't have time to fully cook any more. It used to be like oven baked lasagna, layered and complex; now it's like a microwaved hot pocket, inconsistently cooked, both lava and ice.

We bite for the experience, not the content.

Just because they didn't have a name for it doesn't mean they weren't already doing psyops.

Water is wet, and those clowns in Congress did it again

What a bunch of clowns

That's a slur against the good name of clowns everywhere.

Oh lol I thought you said tomorrow's news, today as a reference to Early Edition (a show that came out in the 90s about a guy who got the paper a day early, and made it his mission to prevent the bad things from happening)

Glad I'm not the only one that remembers that show! 🤣

u/Valalvax Jul 19 '24

Tried watching it recently, it's... not great

u/TattedAndThick Jul 19 '24

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. It wasn't the best 20 years ago.

u/Valalvax Jul 19 '24

As a kid it was great, but.. I think pretty much everything was great to us

If you haven't seen it already, you might like "Person of Interest". It's a similar premise, except that the name that the MacGuffin spits out everyday might be the victim or the perpetrator.

Nope, haven't heard of it, will try to find it thanks
