Is this actually legit? That's some OG sneer shit if they actually had the insight to write such a thing one day after 9/11.

No it isn't. Adequacy.org is the first parody site. The onion before it was cool.

The Onion was around before the internet. They have a print edition and they also had a cable show for a while.

I must say they got me. I was very annoyed people would go on the internet and just lie to people like that. Ow, the folly of youth.

It was one of the best sites because they banned trolling.

How did you find that? Someone in the thread is also discussing an increase in surveillance.

[exactly two hours and fifteen minutes earlier](https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1168565919007875072): >I know it would be difficult to implement and is contrary to human nature - but I think we ought to explore not publicizing the identities or motivations of mass shooters. Would discourage those seeking notoriety or to spread twisted beliefs. i guess this was before he realized he could use this tragedy to increase his notoriety and spread his beliefs.

Hey, what if, and hear me out, we stop making so many US ex-military people by just having less US military. Also, try to get rid of all those guns, convert them to plowshares or something biblical.
