Well, my next task is to review technical Wiki documentation about set-top-box portal server setup, so you might not want it.
No, I mainly just want the Abba-watching part.

Mets Player Who Doesn't Wear A Cup Gets Hit In The Groin By 94 MPH Fastball.
Yeah, you think you're too good for it . . . One day the King thought he didn't need to put in his cup just for fighter practice, then went up against Hubby, who's left-handed, and the King was out of practice against lefties, and he ended up curled like cooking bacon on the floor. The Queen was not pleased with him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"!!!! Why do you keep kicking me in the groin?"
"Because we're fighting."
"But do you have to keep doing that?"
"As long as the target is open, yes."
"But it's not fair!"
I appealed to an outside authority (non-whiner with testicles) and his reply to my sparring partner was "You should have put on a cup before you walked in the door." "I am wearing a cup!" "Then stop complaining about being kicked in the nuts and learn to stop getting nailed."

So, on twitter, someone I follow retweeted some of his followers' comments about how "the earth isn't moving" and that anyone who believes the earth moves is getting lied to.
!!!
Are these people (and it was way more than one) in the same category of people who don't believe we landed on the moon?

That’s absolutely true, except when I get in a car, then the whole Earth moves, while me and the car stand still.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you calculate your speed by measuring the speed of light in different directions, you'll see you're always standing still. Of course, that's ignoring all that stuff that lying liar Einstein came up with.

Because books.

I think it's less that people are crazier and more that people aren't as cowed by authority anymore. It's not the dark ages, where you believed what the church told you, etc.
So ... it's that crazy people are freer to speak up.
