@pmarin@werehatrack nah, not the same. Education is a wonderful thing. It opens your mind, teaches you to think critically and to be more accepting of others mores. It is also something that can never be taken away from you!
Politicians and “bullshit artists” are something different and should not be compared.
I am proud of my educatuon. I worked extremely hard to get where I am today. I worked and went to school full time and still managed to graduate with a 3.98 GPA (damn finance class ruined my streak!).
Ha - I made the mistake of taking finance before I took accounting in my MBA program. Not a good move and no one told me to the contrary. Had to quickly teach myself some basic accounting to survive accounting (undergand was a STEM degree).
@pmarin@tinamarie1974@werehatrack
not arguing the Value of education, but i’ve seen too many well run, Profitable, thriving businesses go to shit once the MBA’s took over…
@rockblossom yes and the accidental FaceTime calls where people realized your unshaved, ungroomed face (or other body parts shaved or unshaved) are being broadcast.
@IndifferentDude but Adam allow it & had some too, plus make sure that Abraham did NOT listen to his wife Sara & take her slave girl Hagar to bed!
Those were the two worse times Man listened his wife!!
@mikey@mollama@chienfou IMO, his character is a bit too much of a boy scout in The Rookie (I enjoyed the Malcolm Reynolds bad boy character in Firefly so much more) . But my wife likes Rookie, so… eh, there are worse shows.
@chienfou@macromeh@mikey LOL several people refer to him as The Boy Scout. We prefer paladin, as is Tim. In fact much like D&D/Baldur’s Gate RPG, when Tim breaks an oath, his life falls apart.
@chienfou@earlyre@mikey@mollama he does an amazing job. And Nathan has made a guest appearance on a few episodes as a talking , which is very different than a breakfast
@tinamarie1974@ybmuG Face it, the “store experience” where you went in town to go to the baker and the butcher and the green-grocer to buy fresh local products are gone. Unless you go to farmer’s market where you pay 1/2 a paycheck for some items and then still have to go to a mega-grocer for the rest. So yeah assuming we are all getting mass-produced easily-shippable barely-perishable products, might as well buy online.
Plus all the good fun stores of my youth are gone.
Where is the Time Tunnel (tv show) or Jules Verne’s Time Machine when you needed. I would also go back to Younger Me & give me some info to either Do or Not to do. Some people were toxic to me, so prevent me from knowing them!
stop Clarkson from punching that restaurant guy… or whatever the bru-ha-ha was that got the trio off of Top Gear… Granted… Jeremy would likely have done something else equally as stupid and we’d have the same result…
@blaineg Do you mean the original 2024, or one of the repeats? I think we have been looping through 2024 for about 20 years, but I may have lost count. Microsoft says they will have the code glitch fixed Any Day Now, but they said that last year and the year before. They should never have allowed Crowdstrike to update the Matrix software.
All good answers, all good answers.
Sorry about the Time Cop that just showed up to make us delete these as they come in.
The creation of the MBA degree.
@werehatrack “We’ll allow it.” - Time Cop
@werehatrack why? Mine has served me well
@tinamarie1974 @werehatrack we already have an excess of Master Bullshit Artists in politics!

@earlyre @pmarin @werehatrack or those without education or common sense go bankrupt…
Education is not the issue.
The invention of the front-facing phone cameras that made selfies possible.
@rockblossom yes and the accidental FaceTime calls where people realized your unshaved, ungroomed face (or other body parts shaved or unshaved) are being broadcast.
@pmarin I know someone who accidentally activated the rear/video camera on a call - while on the toilet. The call was - thankfully - NOT to me.
When that woolly mammoth stepped on that damn butterfly
@Cerridwyn yep that was a Major League disaster!
@Cerridwyn @mycya4me Yeah I hate that guy!
Eve taking a bite from that apple!
She should’ve ignored that conniving snake. 
@IndifferentDude Blatant lie from Adam.
@IndifferentDude but Adam allow it & had some too, plus make sure that Abraham did NOT listen to his wife Sara & take her slave girl Hagar to bed!
Those were the two worse times Man listened his wife!!
@IndifferentDude I thought it was when Mary Lincoln said: “Oh, Hammy! We need a break. Let’s have a nice evening out and go to the theater.”
The cancellation of Firefly.
@mikey
@mikey OMG I Agree 100%, plus a few other SciFi shows that ended way too soon!
@mikey Nathan is the star of “The Rookie,” and is great in it. Totally non-realistic, but such a binge watch.
@mikey @mollama
and Adam is the Resident Alien. OMG is he great in that!
@mikey @mollama @chienfou IMO, his character is a bit too much of a boy scout in The Rookie (I enjoyed the Malcolm Reynolds bad boy character in Firefly so much more) . But my wife likes Rookie, so… eh, there are worse shows.

@chienfou @mikey @mollama Allan is resident alien, not Adam.
I really doubt anyone else could play Harry anywhere near as well.
Allan Tudyk
Adam Baldwin
@chienfou @earlyre @mikey @mollama he does an amazing job. And Nathan has made a guest appearance on a few episodes as a talking
, which is very different than a breakfast 
@chienfou @earlyre @mikey @tinamarie1974 Allen did guest spots (2 episodes so far) on The Rookie and was awe-some.
@earlyre
that’s what I get for being in a hurry at work!
@chienfou @earlyre @mikey @mollama and good thing, Adam is a terrible dude
The invention of monthly subscriptions !
@lonocat Thanks a lot, 15th Century ‘zines.
The invention of on-line shopping
@ybmuG oh no, but I love shopping from my couch or bed as I am currently doing

I’d like to go back and prevent Progress Rail from scrapping the SD80MACs a few years ago…
The time cops from deleting all the apparently-awesome answers in this thread that I didn’t get to see.
Oh, and the destruction of all the historical records in the new world by the conquistadors.
HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
The time some asshole sold Woot! to Jeff…
@shahnm ROTFLOL!
@mycya4me @shahnm more than $1000 changed hands on that deal.
@jouest @mycya4me @shahnm yesterday I could buy 10 IRKs for that!
Where is the Time Tunnel (tv show) or Jules Verne’s Time Machine when you needed. I would also go back to Younger Me & give me some info to either Do or Not to do. Some people were toxic to me, so prevent me from knowing them!
@mycya4me Nah that’s how you learned to be a better human. Or in some cases a worse one, depending on how you process adversity.
@pmarin Check out on YouTube - Dear Younger Me, MercyMe. it talks about this very thing!
The invasion of the Mind Worm Aliens who ate the brains of all of the world’s political leaders, officials, public figures and news commentators.
@mehcuda67 it’s called money.
@mehcuda67 Wasn’t that a Doctor Who episode?
@blaineg Hmmm, might have been.
So would that be art imitating life, or life imitating art?
The asteroid missing earth
@rzaffke that would have saved me so many problems!
Battle of Culloden Moor
@cbilyak
Claire?
@cbilyak @shahnm
I’d hire someone to kill businessman Trump in the 1980s before all his nefarious doings.
@nomad89 visit from the Secret Service in 3…2…1…
@nomad89 besides… butterfly effect and all,
who knows, maybe he’s the better than what could have been…I highly doubt that… but the grass ISN’T always greener…
@earlyre @nomad89 I kind of like mavity.
stop Clarkson from punching that restaurant guy… or whatever the bru-ha-ha was that got the trio off of Top Gear… Granted… Jeremy would likely have done something else equally as stupid and we’d have the same result…
Stopped (permanently) the recording of It’s a Small World After All.
/youtube it’s a small world
Timecops, did you say?
https://wondermark.com/tag/time-travel/
@blaineg did you timecop your way into this VERY old thread??
@jouest Didn’t notice the date, it was up at the top.
I must be lost, how long ago was 2024?
@blaineg @jouest I think it was sometime after the murder hornets, but before the giant asteroid worms.

In 2016 tell Biden he must run for the sake of the country. Then Russia would not have interfered and there would be no MAGA
