"This is Joe Brandon's fault, and trump will fix it. I'm an idiot!"

I might get flagged for spamming this same response everywhere, but snow cone backwards all day, Alex.

A foam is just another texture of a sauce as a garnish, and typically not the main sauce. It's not as "why was that even food" as people put on. It's just an easy scapegoat for something different.

Cotton candy is air fluff that melts instantly on your tongue and leaves a bubblegum or artificial cherry taste behind. A foam is a similar thing, just with basil or truffle to compliment a piece of lamb sauced with its jus.

It's just lazy commentary.

[Still gurgled from underwater, even while surrounded by the floating water bloated corpses of their neighbors, who weren't able to get homeowner's insurance for the prior 20 years] "let's go Brandon!"*

Remember, those CEOs are also all trump sycophant idiots. They'll artificially lower costs further, to sell the lie, trump admin will make up the difference, and then some, on "lost" profits in tax breaks for the rich. Then, once he can take credit, they'll start to raise again, blame China or another country for rising prices as they climb back up and surpass current.

That will be the paper plan though, in reality, he'll lose his focus and just say it out loud halfway through.

A meaningful number of people globally want "revenge" on COVID. They are impotently raging along with the nearest angry person they can attach to. They don't understand their feelings but they feel generally cheated. Many real issues layered on to, but that's the motivating foundation.

They also are failed adults that just want a "daddy" to feel like he will make things better or "beat up" problems on their behalf (or more likely just make them feel like that's happening, regardless of reality).

I don't think this is trying to teach tens of millions, I think this is a scaled equivalent of me just standing in my kitchen, looking around and saying to nobody, "God damnit... What the fuck!" Before I take a moment to figure out what's next.

It's very human. Many had a lot invested in the idea of a better future, that this all might be salvageable. Takes a minute to reckon with the reality here. We're going to have to replace presidential debates with slap fights and primaries with Jello wrestling. For someone relatively younger with a family that they pictured hopefully supporting to grow to be good people doing good things in the world, just sucks to realize the "support" now means we need to start slapping them in the face as early as possible so that they have the most red and calloused cheeks possible to survive in the world we selfishly forced them into.

Raising someone to be decent today feels like he would be as valuable as raising them to be the best VCR repair person in 2024. You have a severely limited and likely permanently outdated skill set. You might be able to enter a few small rooms where your talent is appreciated and useful, but more often than not you'll walk around in a broader humanity that has no use for you or those like you.

Your landlord is a republican.

Or more specifically, your landlord is a property management company employed by venture capitalists who you just emboldened to get even shittier. And those VCs are conservatives.

Enjoy your perceived victory against bad old uncle Joe...

As is historically the case in this country

What is your social security number. My dad and I have ours, but wondering how the other half lives?

I see your angle, but it's not good. This is just the heritage foundation and power hungry around him telling him he needs to go through the process to lay a "defensible" legal path. He says they need to do it, instead of him unilaterally just doing it by decree. So they do it, and if/when challenged up to the Supreme Court, they just say all the boxes were checked, technically legal, moving on.

He'll do that dance, initially at least, for them to support the "is he being presidential today?!!!" BS narrative that they couldn't stop drooling over last time. He'll eventually collapse and regress, but this time when mask comes off all the way (or more like skin peels off of his face, as the mask has been off) he has absolutely nothing left to lose. Things are going to get dark.

What the fuck is this headline, that's Candyman, above all else.

I know this is a "gamer" focused publication, but come on!

 

I don't care if Monday's filing cases without evidence to clog the courts

Tuesday's prematurely declaring victory and Wednesday accusing fraud because vote count went overnight due to unsupported and disproven gop challenges of voting machines

Thursday, trucks with ski masked neo-nazis pulling up to the Capitol with assault rifles

It's Friday, I'm in a camp for suspected Marxist socialist antifahs!

Monday, barricades at politician's homes can fall apart

Tuesday, Wednesday, break my elderly neighbor's hip when cops break the door down at the wrong home and tackle her for being a suspected "illegal"

Oh, Thursday doesn't even start because musk/trump dept of efficiency has outlawed clocks and calendars so there can be no more legal labor challenges of unpaid overtime, no weekends and no holiday pay

It's Friday, I'm in only the second week of trump's second, never-ending term as America's dictator clumsily toppling 250+ years of democracy


You know you can do the right thing here. Go register, go vote. (Start here) - It's fast, simple and painless. You know we have to tell ourselves the above could never happen here to feel safe, but you also know it's closer to reality then ever before and you can do something, right now.

 

You willingly give them key points of information about yourself, directly or indirectly. They then read those signals and use your own information against you to convince you they have answers. And they are often wrong, but you walk around repeating their "insights" as if they are true.

I heard a person call into a show the other day, voice only, and talk about some poor working conditions at a factory. Made me think about how it would probably be so easy for nefarious bosses to be able to identify that person through voice recognition SW with all of the data that comes from us looking directly into cameras and speaking clearly in modern workplace meetings.

Do "anonymous" callers need to start using voice modulation software for these kinds of calls in the modern world?

 

Assuming to artificially secure people with new memberships through their first 4-6 weeks to establish a habit through the first billing cycle. Is this a known thing?

 

Through the great depression...

When 9/11 happened...

The 2008 housing crash...

COVID...

On a smaller scale, when the Titanic sank, I'm assuming someone inevitably got rich from the aftermath somehow?

Who are the people/groups that make up history's must successful parasites? Who "came out on top" in each instance of historical human suffering?

 

Hey all, I used to use a to do app and can't remember name, it was very distinct though, please help!

  • visual aesthetic was of an IRL open paper journal (distinct touch: out had a coffee stain on upper corner of the paper)
  • extremely simple, text input on lines and a checkbox to complete (animation of pen crossing by hand would play IIRC)
  • only option besides complete/delete was to move to "tomorrow". Then when you flipped the page (animation) you'd see the next day's tasks.
  • only looked at today and tomorrow in favor of simplicity
  • For some reason, I want to think it was just called "today" or "tomorrow".

Any ideas?
