        ummm...no. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 16:41
Reagen, this is for you. I used to get tickets for every rally. My friends and I had many discussions about it. At this point, I do it *sometimes*. - loosilu Jun 11, 15:57 14
- Hmm...I suspect that they may be hoping for a riot to break out. - . Jun 11, 16:07 3
  - In my opionion, no, He is ONLY visiting die hard Trump cult cities. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:08 2
    - I'm going by the date chosen, and location. They are hoping for a reaction. -- nm - . Jun 11, 16:10 1
      - Strongly disagree, it's a dog whistle for white supremacists. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:12
- Is there a link? roastchickenalert is a trump supporter, I think. -- nm - amanda Jun 11, 16:06 3
  - To sign up for tickets. I can googs. -- nm - amanda Jun 11, 16:08 1
    - wicked easy. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:09
  - A link for the trump campaign is easy to find (don't make me post it!!!). Or do you mean a different link? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:07
- Have you ever tried to sign up and been told that they were “sold out?” -- nm - Dano Jun 11, 16:04 3
  - N ever. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:06 2
    - So what makes you think other people do? -- nm - Ender Jun 11, 16:18 1
      - I don't think any of his shit is ever sold out. I only learned that after getting tickets multiple times. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 11, 16:24
- ultimately I think any effect is minuscule. But I don;t think you're stopping Person 1 from getting in. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:58 1
  - It's POSSIBLE that when we first did it (it was a SM movement), it might have worked. I'm sure they adapted to it since then. As I said, now if I do - loosilu Jun 11, 16:00
I keep watching this guy on J! and thinking "I wonder if Jack knows him" b/c how many attorneys could there be in Alexandria, VA? -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 11, 15:54
Looks like DoorDash is doing a new round at $15b valuation. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 15:48
BTW, everyone, this is the first time I applied for tickets and the response was "You will get more information later". - loosilu Jun 11, 15:36
znu, it’s the song that made a hit out of Dido. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 15:27 31
- More to the point, how the fuck has he never heard Lose Yourself? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 15:48 28
  - I've heard it and would certainly recognize it, but I wouldn't have been able to come up with it as the name of an Eminem song - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 15:51 25
    - (or come up with any lyrics other than the Weird Al parody) -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 15:54 1
      - "Mom's spaghetti" -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jun 11, 15:57
    - I'll raise my hand: I know what stan means, I know Lose Yourself, I did not connect the two until this evening. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:52 22
      - I didn’t know what Stan meant but it makes sense. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 15:54 21
        
        It's kind of an interesting appropriation given the inspiration material. Actual fans refer to themselves as 'stans' in a positive sense - JD Jun 11, 15:59
        
        I mean, I knew what it meant well enough from context, I just didn't know what it was a reference to or where it came from -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 15:55 19
        
        I heard it from 20 somethings. I k now for sure they do not connect it to Eminem. They explained it to me differently. - loosilu Jun 11, 15:58 14
        
        That is where the term originated. It’s not an accident it’s the name of the character in the song. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 15:59 13
        
        I will ask my 20something friends where they think it originated. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:00 11
        
        consider the possibility that your 20-something friends are....wrong? - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 16:04 8
        
        They are "influencers." Tens of thousands of followers. They know. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:07 7
        
        riiiiiight....*backs away slowly* -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 16:11
        
        or, they invented their own meaning after hearing it from somewhere else. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 16:10 5
        
        These are people I have known well for several years. Edit to say. I know them very well. I have committed significant mischief with them. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 11, 16:13 4
        
        Cool. They're still mistaken. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 16:16 3
        
        Since they haven't answered me yet, you don't know. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:25 2
        
        If, as you initially suggested above, they think it's from somewhere other than the Eminem song, they're incorrect. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 16:26 1
        
        Of course they are. I'm curious what the younger generation THINKS it is. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:28
        
        I mean they can think whatever they want but that’s where it’s from. -- (link) - spamlet Jun 11, 16:04 1
        
        Spammy, I am the messenger. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:30
        
        100% -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jun 11, 16:00
        
        I don’t understand why people would be happy to be considered Stans. Stan’s messed up. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 15:57 3
        
        I don't think they are. I think they use is as an insult, but then jokingly say, "I stan xyz" -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:59 2
        
        I think there are fanbases / fans that happily refer to themselves as stans or like you stated use it a verb -- nm - JD Jun 11, 16:00 1
        
        an ironic usage, perhaps. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 16:03
  - what is Eminem doing these days? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:50
  - I guess he doesn't watch the Oscars. ;-) -- nm - JD Jun 11, 15:49
- Well Roswell fans (maybe just me) would like to think that it was Here With Me that was her US breakthrough but yeah, Thank You being used for Stan -- nm - JD Jun 11, 15:36
- Dido...and Aeneas? -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 15:31
Bitcoin exchange Quadriga was a Ponzi scheme -- (link) - Reagen Jun 11, 15:21 7
- Is this the guy that "died" after millions disappeared from the exchange? -- nm - Mop Jun 11, 16:29 1
  - Yes. I lean towards him actually being dead. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 16:30
- I think my biggest surprise is that Quadriga isn't a made up business name. - JD Jun 11, 15:43 1
  - It totally sounds like a competitor on Silicon Valley -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 15:44
- Aren’t they all? -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 15:24 1
  - Is Tinkerbell Scam a thing? - Reagen Jun 11, 15:33
- [gasp!] -- nm - mud Jun 11, 15:22
what have I missed? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 11, 15:10

In happier news Illinois won its appeal of the case fighting the Trump admin's public charge restrictions for immigration. We represented Cook - pmb Jun 11, 15:00 2
- Great victory ! -- nm - JackDawson Jun 11, 15:09
- nice! -- nm - prayformojo Jun 11, 15:02
I watched Louis Theroux's Scientology movie recently and have been thinking about Trump's ability to control narratives and interactions. -- nm - rollo Jun 11, 14:57 3
- Basically, I think Trump might be a secret Scientologist you guys -- nm - rollo Jun 11, 14:57 2
  - he wants to outdo (outfraud?) L Ron Hubbard, maybe -- nm - mud Jun 11, 15:00
  - Don't be silly, he would have to pay them. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:59
I'm scared guys, what if Jared actually fixes racism? -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 14:49 6
- Stephen Miller has a pogrom to fix racism! -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 14:53
- I thought he was in prison for child porn? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 11, 14:51 4
  - Oh no. He did far worse. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 15:45
  - There both scum -- nm - eag Jun 11, 14:53
  - They let him out on furlough to solve the Middle East. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:53 1
    - Subway sandwiches ruin everything -- nm - JaxSean Jun 11, 15:05
'The Sopranos' Creator Accidentally Reveals What Happened to Tony Soprano (spoils) -- (edited) - budice Jun 11, 14:48 7
- Ha! I knew it. That was always my assumption. -- nm - Jovian Jun 11, 14:54
- to me that is like saying "in the first draft of Endgame Ant Man went up Thanos' ass and grew to kill him" -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 14:53
- fuck -- nm - mud Jun 11, 14:51
- That is OUTstanding! -- nm - David Jun 11, 14:51
- HAHA! that's great. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 14:49 2
  - no it's not. -- nm - mud Jun 11, 14:52 1
    - yeah it is. His response the writers of the article. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 14:52
more -- (link) - Jovian Jun 11, 14:42 38
- Wait, I thought it was a hoax. -- nm - . Jun 11, 14:58
- [snork] -- nm - mud Jun 11, 14:43 36
  - every once in a while the mask drops for a second -- nm - rollo Jun 11, 14:45 35
    - I'm going to get tickets for Tulsa and see if it says anything. Do you guys ever do this? get Trump rally tickets so there will be empty seats? - loosilu Jun 11, 14:55 33
      - I’m sure they overbook and don’t guarantee seating. Heck, we did that for free movie screenings. -- nm - Dano Jun 11, 15:04 15
        
        We've discussed that. So, since we've done it, we have not seen a full venue. Is it because of people like us? We don't know, but we're playing the odds. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 11, 15:12 14
        
        because they're not getting as many people as they would like. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:20 13
        
        It's obviously very mushy. WE're playing the odds, it gives us petty satisfaction. Your mileage may vary. (what is the Canadian way to say that?) -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:22 12
        
        I mean, think about it. They're free tickets. If people are waiting outside and they have empty seats, there's no reason not to let people in. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:24 11
        
        Obviously Donnie always claims there are thousands waiting outside. Dammit Reagen stop harshing my petty revenge. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:26 10
        
        Exactly. So by making people wait in line, you are *feeding* his narrative. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:26 9
        
        Nah. Guarantee they are all inside before he arrives. They need it too look as packed as possible when he swoops in. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:27 8
        
        Yes, but if people have to wait in line because they're waiting for ticketed people that aren't showing up "Look at all the extra people I'm drawing!" - Reagen Jun 11, 15:30 6
        
        Someone could write a dissertation on why Trumpers wait in line. It might be like tailgating. As I said, I strongly suspect it's like a Grateful Dead - loosilu Jun 11, 15:34 5
        
        I don't think you're frustrating anyone. -- (edited) - Reagen Jun 11, 15:36 4
        
        We have never seen a filled venue (BY FAR). -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:37 3
        
        *BECAUSE THEY AREN'T GETTING AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY WOULD LIKE* -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:38 2
        
        revert to where I said, at the end of the day, it's petty satisfaction for me. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:40 1
        
        and where you are helping to create a line that he can point to as evidence of how many people want in. - Reagen Jun 11, 15:42
        
        They need time to turn off lights and put up partitions to hide the empty sections. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:28
      - I mean, there's usually wait lists. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:02 10
        
        I've gotten tickets to every single rally with no problem at all. -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:13 9
        
        Yes, but if there's people outside waiting in line, they're going to let them in. They may not fill the arena, but it's not because of "no ticket". -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:19 3
        
        I'm messing up their stats so they know they cannot trust ticket numbers. I take satisfaction knowing I'm fucking with them. - loosilu Jun 11, 15:21 2
        
        I don't think they care at all. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:22 1
        
        Maybe it's a placebo. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:23
        
        That's kind of sneaky brilliant. How many tickets can one request? -- nm - JD Jun 11, 15:16 4
        
        Oh, also, put in any zip code you want. They don't care. I personally believe his rallies are like Grateful Dead fans going on tour. That explains his - loosilu Jun 11, 15:20
        
        Only 2. That's why we need numbers. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:17
        
        er, I could just read below *blush* -- nm - JD Jun 11, 15:17 1
        
        no worries :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:17
      - Intriguing ... what do they cost? -- nm - rollo Jun 11, 14:59 5
        
        Zero. YOu can only get two seats. You have to give them your cell number (I know, I see it as the cost of the fight). - loosilu Jun 11, 15:02 4
        
        How many phone calls a day do you get? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 11, 15:38
        
        Yeah no thanks, I barely want my family to have my cell phone # -- nm - rollo Jun 11, 15:07 2
        
        Totally understandable. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:12 1
        
        If there was ever a time to abuse my work phone, this could be it -- nm - JD Jun 11, 15:18
