Tetris transported me the day I played too long, and after that everything in the world looked like it was behind a vague transparent Tetris overlay. I never did that again—play too long, that is. Sure, I played Tetris again.
Something similar happened with a book, as well. In 1976, I purchased the oversized (for the time) collection of Little Nemo strips that Woody Gelman published, and dived into it until Mom called out that I had to go get Dad from the studio, and all the way into town, I had to fight a pressing feeling of unreality. It was, indeed, a deep draught.
A little OT but indicative of the meme that stupid is forever. Especially for those who do not know or acknowledge history.
Yahoo news 8/11/21-In 1885 an anti MANDATORY small pox vaccine riot occurred in Montreal Canada after a smallpox outbreak. Lies about the vaccine abounded(not unlike what the GQP is doing today) and a side story about the person who was the most antivax proponent in the French Canadian area of Montreal stated that he left for the US on a train, at the border he was physically examined and it was discovered that he had been vaccinated against smallpox.
History repeats itself, the only difference between 1885 and today is technology because stupid is forever. Medical Doctors who preach anti vax BS prove the point that being an MD does not necessarily mean you are intelligent or even have a tiny bit of common sense-that is what I get from the story about the antivax MD who testified to the Iowa legislature and made numerous totally absurd claims about how the COVID vaccination was a Democratic plot to control everyone
Qanon=GQP=far to many gullible sheeple who fall for every conspiracy because they heard it on the Fox Opinion and Propaganda Network, Trump or one of his minions said it, any one of the GQP members of Congress said it, or they heard it on Social Media(and as everyone knows anything any RWer says on SM must be true amIrite? /s)
Since the libertarian comic strip is praising the good old magic carpet, I’m reminded of the libertarian cartoon show’s episode where Officer Barbrady, the illiterate cop, is taught how to read. “I was excited at first to be able to read,” says Barbrady to the gathered community of South Park at the end of the show, in the “I learned something today” slot, “And then I read this thing [holds up Atlas Shrugged], and it was the most boring thing I’ve ever seen. Reading sucks ass, and I’ll never read again!”

You can get to different places by riding the bus.

You can read books on your tablet or phone. Much lighter to carry around.

So if Carmen/Stantis believes in different ideas, why does he/she keep espousing the same old tired ones?

Just make sure your book is approved by the GQP first…

I was going to say Tetris was kind of outdated, but I don’t know what would be current — Candy Crush? Angry Birds? Lily’s Garden?
