Shhhh, you’re supposed to say “incarcerated individuals leased to public and private companies”

Clearly it’s working as intended

I know right? The other day I was drinking a coke and wondering about side effects of weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, and it occurred to me that advertising could be a lot more creative and subtle.

It’s kinda weird and boring and the characters are quirky enough to be funny but also relatable in a vaguely nostalgic, innocence of mid teens kinda way. No one is good or bad and the climax is Napoleon dancing in front of the whole school so his friend wins the student council vote. And then everyone clapped.

It’s like the Big Lebowski, where the absurdity gets funnier with each watch. Definitely fun to rewatch with friends when you see the jokes coming.

Eat the food, Tina

Knowing storks, you don’t want to know. They’re not the best parents.

There are lots of reasons that one area of your company may make less money. It’s like how the NYC subway or post office technically don’t “make money” but the value they bring to the whole system is a net positive by enabling all the other companies to make way more.

Probably also includes counseling or psych treatment for depression and anxiety and suicidality related to this plus preventing doctors from using preferred names or pronouns while also closing resources that these kids could have turned to for community support. The cruelty is the point.

Except nazis. They can fuck off.

And a 100% fatality rate. Everyone who touches it dies.

Well said. There is a lively song by the Dead Kennedys that explains with nuance and understanding this same sentiment.

You forgot the “except for Nazis” part. No one wants more nazis except nazis and they can fuck off.

This meme brought to you by the Heritage Foundation: don’t forget to vote red because you can trust us. /s

I’m actually ok with wealthy people being wealthy, but when they took over the government as a way to make even more money at our expense is where I draw the line. We need to take back regulatory power, it’s the only thing that can compete at today’s scale.

Good screen doesn’t make me feel bad, it makes me feel good. Sometimes very good. Then sleepy.

Except for the million that died.

And I’m still paying less (although the margin is smaller now) than when I had to choose a cable tv package. Even with inflation.

A la carte channels are what we wanted for 50 years and this is pretty close. Don’t get me wrong, I pirate everyday because fuck’em, but it’s better than cable.

You got it, choom

Also, I still visit oldreddit and use narwhal although nowhere near the same level of participation and engagement.

We broke up but we still see each other socially.

The clouds part revealing a dusky gray and pink sunset. The smell of blood and iron and smoke are in the air but all is still. In the fading light a peasant stumbles over to you and unwraps a beautiful gift from the folds of their cloak and extends her arms as if to give it to you. “I made this…”, she says softly.

You take this marvel and raise it high with both hands into the last sunbeam and brilliant light shines and sparkles, a beacon for everyone near and far. In a clear and confidant voice you declare: “I made this!”
