Yes. But that's a positive impact really. Nazis are going to melt their faces off either l this week or next week. All things being equal the sooner the Nazis get YHWH's wrath the better.

Which is cool as hell! How often do you see something genuinely entertaining where it LOOKS like the hero did something, but in retrospect they were basically irrelevant?

One thing I think is interest from a narrative and plotting standpoint is that to a large extent Indy was irrelevant to the plot. The Nazis would have taken the ark and melted their faces without Jones being involved at all! Left on an island, forgotten in a warehouse? No real difference.

Well, I doubt we'd have gone for the same opener. That's kind of a crash course in archaeology as looting: break into a temple, steal an idol that the locals clearly revere and is part of their culture, then go put it in a museum thousands of miles away.
Probably not what we'd do today for an intro

And sure, a programmer is supposed to anticipate potential problems, but it's not really surprising that they stick with a 2 digit year because that was what everyone else and everything else used.

Remember that they didn't start that out of nowhere. They came from a background where every form had a two digit date, where legacy systems and storage had a two digit year. It was a convention deeply rooted for decades before they started programming.

In a different era we might have supposed the inconsistencies are meant to show us a dreamlike uncertainty and make the reader doubt if the events are actually happening or not.
In this world it's obvious AI glurge. Tga5 one panel with the bronze crest off to the side of the helm screams AI.

Well, at least we'll have the receipts that prove the MAGA Six are just doing Trump's bidding when they rule that as the elected king he can abolish the 14th via executive order.

He's frighteningly open about that. All his talk about reverse migration means he wants to revoke permanent residency for anyone who isn't white, and he's already said he's trying to find any tiny errors he can in the papers of naturalized citizens to revoke citizenship and deport.

The part where they wanted to take his picture to see if he was a citizen is them trying to establish an excuse to deport him. They're using AI to check people's photos to match against some database then claiming the AI is always right and docs saying otherwise are forgeries.

Its at the up is down point of absurdity and authoritarianism.
Why, or HOW, would a US citizen have immigration documents? I was born here, I don't have any immigration docs because I didn't immigrate. So per ICE I am required to carry docs that don't exist.

I am absolutely not the right temperament to run, or hold office. IRL I'm conflict avoidant unless I get angry and then I'm hyper confrontational.
I'd be a terrible candidate and if God help us I won I'd probably be bad in office.

But that doesn't solve the we need better Democrats problem.
Run a crappy candidate and the low information voters won't vote for them no matter how much we say Trump in a scary voice.
Do nothing with a majority when you have it and people learn it doesn't matter if they vote.

I live (currently) in Texas and I've pounded doors for a shitty centrist dude who tried to hide that he was a Democrat in 2018 when the Republian brand was really hurting from the Trump assoiation. Him becuase I lived in his district. He lost of course.

They're out there telling us how they're the most bipartisan of bipartisans who are eager, EAGER they say, to work with their honorable Republican collegues and any dirty hippy who wants more deserves to be pepper sprayed by ICE.

Trump is literally, and I mean literally literally, committing piracy on the high seas and ordering the US military to commit murder. And they did.
Are the Democratic House members disrupting things? Delaying meetings. Bogging things down in procedural bullshit? Nope.

There's a tiny handful who really are working, and I'm grateful to them. But most? They're not even trying to oppose.
Even Sanders. Notice he hasn't ended unanamous consent and dragged the Senate down into a morass of endless procedural votes? Feckless. Coward.

Right now they get my vote and they should be grateful they're getting that after being such feckless cowards and right wing traitors.
And, I do disagree that they're working. We SAW them work when they tried to sabotage Mamdani. I wish they'd bring 1/100th of that energy to oppose Trump.

Not. My. Problem. I'll give them money when they deliver. I work on the assumption that's all they care about because it is literally ALL they ever talk to me about. I get flooded with Democratic candidates texting me, and it is always the same "gimmie money!"
