Just remembered that they're very particular about this speed in Back to the Future. Do I have paranoid brain worms or were the producers fash?

    There's a bus poster where I'm from that chose an 88 bus to display on it. Every time I see it, I wonder if the designer was a chud, even though that's insane. The chuds have definitely made us paranoid...

      it kinda seems to me like it gets more utility out of having us jumping at shadows than allowing fascists to signal to each other, especially when in today's political climate they can mostly just go "Hello fellow fascist, great day to be nazis am I right?" and be unmolested for it

        Yeah, I sadly could see some 4chan dweeb chuckling at the psychic damage we're inflicting on ourselves.

        Which just makes me want to decondition the behaviour. I mean, rationally, even if the poster designer was a chud, hell even if the whole bus company were chuds and it was a conscious decision, what difference does it really make to put an 88 on a bus poster? It's not worth our time to even consider, right?

          Correct. If you need to actually have dealings with the bus company beyond just taking the bus, maybe consider it, but otherwise it would be a total waste of time and effort.
