“Anybody who thinks that ‘it doesn’t matter who’s President’ has never been drafted and sent off to fight and die in a vicious, stupid war on the other side of the world-or been beaten and gassed by Police for trespassing on public property-or been hounded by the IRS for purely political reasons-or locked up in the Cook County Jail with a broken nose and no phone access and twelve perverts wanting to stomp your ass in the shower. That is when it matters who is President or Governor or Police Chief. That is when you will wish you had voted.”

Hunter S. Thompson

Yeah… I wouldn’t recommend shooting at a metal object from a few feet away.

Also, I know it was a different era, but if I saw someone shooting an inanimate out of anger today, I would assume that person belongs to a certain cult.

Hunter S. Thompson once gave an interciew at his home when you could hear gunfire. He said it’s his neighbour shooting at him, so he pulled out his gun and fired back. He wasn’t really shooting at someone, but in the general direction of his house. Fair to say that these people weren’t particularly well

Look at him, uniting lunatics across the divide. Yeah I read his books but fuck him

Charitably, I have to assume that familiarity with the object in question would change my view. The printer destruction scene from Office Space was a cultural phenomenon for a reason, after all.

Me, unclear what cult is known for shooting inanimate objects. Are we talking about scientoligists?

And here’s a video of him shooting at his neighbor over something to do with cows. https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/hunter-s-thompson-shooting-neighbour/

The only thing that worried me was the ether.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Except Mr Thompson didn’t have to deal with Microslop jamming pointless AI into everything…

He would be so unhappy to be alive right now, particularly with AI (and the whole fascism thing).

When I get new devices to replace older broken or malfunctioning ones, I often take out my pent up frustration with the old devices by destroying them with great fervor…

There’s something oddly therapeutic about it.
