Odd, I am not signed in or subscribed to it.
Also paywalled for me (maybe because I'm in the EU?)

#32I think about JT from time to time (no pun intended). It looks like things are starting to go the way he described, but about a 10 year time shift difference. Thankfully no CJD outbreaks but with its latency who knows.
I've often wondered if the mass shootings count as the violence he predicted in the US.
Waco like events that get worse, according to him. He said the “civil war” starts in 2005, which would be 2015.
The occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was Jan 2nd 2016 (starting slightly earlier in 2015). If there’s an event that might closely mark a start of a civil war that ramps up, that’s high on my list.
We’ll see.

I'm not a physicist and this looks legit to me. High quality mumbo jumbo!

#34What time travel might look like from the other side [1]. I remember a great short story I read about the first time traveler. They decided the first visit would be the Shakespeare. Shakespeare has no problems accepting that he's being visited by a time traveler, and asks what gifts the traveler brings. The traveler is a bit confused, so Shakespeare explains that the early ones all bring gifts. The traveler has broug…
Any chance you recall the name of the short story? Your link was a fun read, but disappointingly not the story you described!

#35Steins;Gate, a Japanese light novel and anime, includes John Titor in the story in an awesome way. It also includes some bit of hacker culture that I think is more real than the typical American movie "hacker". I recommend it! Edit: As pointed out in the comments, this was originally a visual novel! There are many ways to enjoy this story.
Strong agree. Stiens;Gate is the only time traveller story that I know that establishes rules for time travel early on and actually sticks to these rules till the end.
You might enjoy the movie Primer [0].

>There are many ways to enjoy this story.
I'd suggest going with the visual novel anyways, since it has a bit more meat (like multiple endings) even if the anime is a pretty faithful telling. It's also on so many different platforms (including iOS), so it's pretty accessible.
I'd avoid Steins;Gate Elite like a plague though.

Also, the German netflix show 'Dark' does time travel in a much more satisfying way than the vast majority. Watch it in German with subtitles, the dub is weird.

I remember being impressed with how rigidly the 90s show 'Crime Traveller' stuck to the rules it outlined of time travel.
Aside from that, it wasn't a great show (only 1 series made) and watching the first episode[1] back I can safely say it's not aged well either.
But it's one show that has always stuck in my memory for when the writers actually took the theory of time travel seriously.
