I watch some trash reality TV and always find it kind of funny how contestants spend a long amount of time internalizing the stress of the situation the show they agreed to be on is putting on them.

Half of Love Island is “Why did you kiss them?” “Why did you go on a date with that person?” “Why did you break up with me?” Guys it’s a SHOW. The SHOW is making you go through these completely unnatural circumstances!

And then I think about real life and it’s like “why don’t I have energy? why am I so depressed? why can’t I be more productive?” …guys it’s CAPITALISM/SOCIETY. SOCIETY is making you go through these completely unnatural circumstances!

…except of course I didn’t agree to be on this show.

o ok that makes it ok then nvm my furious outrage. gj buddy.

Yeah but if be gets overcharged it goes into sleep mode.

Well, better to be recalled instead of buying something off brand and replacing it every three months like I did with other batteries and cords before I caught on to those shifty Amazon scammy retailers.

…I mean yes it’d be great if nothing was recalled at all, but uhhhh, I ain’t gonna hold this one against them.

“Bloodless if the left allows it.”

What’s everyone’s favorite F13 movie?

I think the first one is kinda boring and more of a vibes movie; good background noise, but not worth your full attention.

My fave is part 6 when it really leaned into the silliness and fun of itself (and it inspired Scream).

I’ll always have a soft spot for part 3’s music tho.

Ghouls.

I know it’s been four days, but I just wanted to circle back to this and say this is great/I still’ve been thinking about it.

I just like how it brackets everything I said into two sentences. Love it.

I said I WASN’T in a rush…

(…but thank you! 🙏)

IMO ACAB is great on a behavioral science level: it sets the anchor/starts the conversation with a statement as an absolute, which the defense then has to find exceptions to. While they do that grunt work, the catchy phrase enables confirmation bias in the fence-sitters and people who already agreed with it.

It’s like starting a barter at an exorbitantly high price so the buyer is primed to offer a price higher than they would’ve before hearing the anchor.

Jfc. I’m going to go listen to that it I can find it… but I won’t be in a rush.

EAT THE RICH flavored foods.

🙄 is that why you’re in the military? to detain unarmed protesters on your own soil?

get fucked.

Dangerous for you, maybe, you fucking ghoul.

I assure you I only found humor in people personifying a person into “Amber Lamps,” I did not recognize I was laughing alongside others who were laughing for racist reasons centered around poking fun of urban phonetics.

…ok so for this one I was laughing at him thinking he confidently could break his cuffs and people turning it into songs and adjacent memes, I didn’t think at the time about the power dynamics and systemic racism surrounding the incident at the time.

…ok so for this one, um, so that’s MS paint, a chainsaw, and a banned website… yes, ok you know what? I’ll just uh, I’ll see myself out.

I wish I didn’t have an easier time empathizing with animals than I did people; rats are so friggin’ cute

Hell if I watch an ant long enough I’ll find them cute too. Wiping dirt off their little antennae 🥺

I’m probably gonna die getting bit by a rabid raccoon as I try to pet them.

As much as I enjoyed Idiocracy when it came out, I wish its proposed answer/crux of the issue wasn’t “smart people should have kids” and instead focused on educating the ones that are already here/brought into this world.

I’ll hop on this!

I mean when even the NY Post gets shot, I don’t think there’s a question about it.

Frankly I’m surprised they haven’t resorted to the scramblers they had out at the Dakota access pipeline.

I’m gonna be honest with ya; housing prices have gotten completely incompatible with my gambling addiction, pair that with streaming services having no interest in my pitch to have pre-recorded clown interludes between cartoon episodes, and you’ve got this: the only affordable place someone like me can live, the sewers.

It ain’t so bad. Years of wearing a rubber nose has sealed my nostrils shut, so I don’t mind the smell.

The roommates situation on the other hand?…

Hey! Hands off my lunch! Geraldo? Shouldn’t you be on Fox?

Geraldo: yes, but their craft services just doesn’t compare to the real thing.
