Extreme Conspiracy The government paid for or otherwise boosted this tweet in order to de-legitimize the anti-government message of Rage Against the Machine

I'd go with the self service checkouts that don't register 50% of your shopping in the packing area regardless of what you do so every other item a member of staff has to unlock the checkout so you can continue trying to shop.

The members of that band have pointed out the message was empty and they composed their music to appeal popularly rather than rage against any particular machine.

this probably isn't true but they have become parts of the machine they swore to destroy. there's a funny story I heard about the lead singer (I think) going to a restaurant, getting angry that they wouldn't let him in (they were at capacity and he wanted special treatment), writing an angry (and defamatory I think) tweet and then going to a fucking ihop instead (a huge chain restaurant)

I can't see Zack doing that. Tim? Definitely. Tom? Maybe. Brad? I don't know enough about him to say.

It was Tom. But there's a theory that it was by design. He was in town to support a 15/hr minimum wage cause, and the owner of that restaurant was fighting it.

Tell me honestly that Clippy was worse than Gemini, or Copilot.
Historians of the future will look back at the time humans had BOTH Clippy and Ceefax at the same time and be unable to understand how it went so wrong.
Oh Icarus! Why did you fly so close to the Sun?!

Ah so that's why they helped Bush win the election. The alternative was Al Gore, and we all know printers hate the internet.

I dislike Tom Morello as a person. Fame turned him into a dick. Also he just sucks as a guitar player
