DACK FAYDEN posted:That's Gab. Verrit was Twitter with eight-digit "verrit codes" for every tweet that linked to factchecking, pushed by the kind of people who wrote thinkpieces about how woke Hillary's campaign was. Oh, yeah, that's right. Why isn't Twitter good enough for these people?

Don't you have to explain why things are funny when you post them?

I don't think that's necessarily true. It's just not as funny as it would be to somebody who already knows that joke.

Indecisive posted:thus why he has to explain this Maybe because it says "Reboots Summer 2018", with 'Reboot' implying Summer 2018 already happened and this event is a better version of that. It is funny because 'Summer 2018' has not happened yet.

That's what evacuees looked like in WW2 though? It's a totally normal thing in the UK (see how the price is in pounds not dollars) where hundreds of thousands of children were sent to live in the country during the worst of the bombing during the war. For some reason ignorant Americans see this and think "oh it's an Anne Frank costume!" even though she's never pictured wearing clothing like that.

Verrit is real fuckin' hard to explain, because it makes no sense at all and is only of relevant to extremely online politics people. After the humiliating defeat of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by the game show host Donald Trump in the 2016 US Presidential election, Clinton consultant Peter Daou launched Verrit to combat the spread of Fake News. Essentially Verrit is a website that has quotes about how Hilary Clinton was good, and each quote came with a Verrit code. You would take the code to the Verrit website to verify that the quote was real. If you are asking, "wait, what?" or "surely there was more to it than that?" then yeah, that was literally everyone else's reaaction. Coming from a high-level consultant like Daou and with the approval of Clinton herself who had tweeted about the launch, people were baffled by Verrit. And everyone assumed that was the end of it. Until now.

Just a funny photo of a bizarre "girl's fantasy" costume. Do girls in the UK like to dress up like refugees for fun or something?

The whole thing is not... exactly romanticised in the UK, but the evacuees aren't seen as refugees -- they were being sent out of harm's way, not because their parents were already dead. It's pretty commonly seen as Plucky Kids Going On A Heroic Adventure And Showing Indomitable British Spirit. I'm not a historian so I've no idea how true that was, but that's certainly the popular perception.

Its not that uncommon for kids to dress up like that for a school project learning about the war. So when these companies scrape the search terms for costumes it will probably come up.

Drone_Fragger posted:Dunno if youre aware of this, but uh, the government? Yeah. Exactly my point. There's nothing about the government being a guarantor that prevents a currency from being speculated infinitely up and down. I mean, countries have chosen in the past to literally hyperinflate their currencies in order to pay off debt. Big-name economists like Krugman have advocated that the US should engage in massive inflationary policy in order to pay down its debts. At the time of its issuance, this was worth about $30 USD and is also a funny picture:  Bitcoin's dumb as hell but a number of the reasons why people think it's dumb are also dumb.

I think an important thing to note about Daou is that nearly everything he has done in the past year has been fueled by spite for the Chapo Trap House because they kept making fun of his Goddess Mother Hillary Clinton

The name tag pinned to her lapel (in case she gets lost on the trip) is a good indicator.
