linux mint comes with a program coincidentally called Hexchat for connecting to IRC networks. Are these obsolete at this point, or are there still places to hang out with people so i dont have to use discord?

      Yeah, Eric Robert Rudolph was the real bomber. He had also bombed abortion clinics.

      I can't remember if that was the real reason or that was the disinformation the media spread about the hero. That's the problem with these lies: they stick. Most people today still think the security guard was the terrorist.

        I dunno, there was a Richard Jewell movie a few years ago. Eastwood directed it so it was probably chuddier than it needed to be, but Paul Walter Hauser's a good actor and looked perfect for the part. I didn't see it but I do know that there are plenty of people in Atlanta who very much remember the way the Atlanta Journal-Constitution fucked his life up.

          That movie was a flop and nobody watched it. Jewell is still widely regarded as a skeezy loser weirdo.
