And while we have different contexts at the moment, the vibes are transmitted in migraine/highlighter colours through internet context collapse, so analyses of the american situation play here because the signified can work independently of the signifier.

As in, getting tactics in from The Sun to shortcut reasoned argument and debate has been far superceded. If you want to go back to winning arguments, you might have to work out how to neutralise shitposting and aura farming in your comms not just go extra-Tucker on it. Maybe.

At least the cadmium in chocolate doesn't probably mess your brain up much.

Kid suggested this morning that all these pigeons on the Cow Tower were plotting stealing their day's chips. Can't fault the logic.

A friend's dad (a retired professor of Kant) used to go drinking with him in Berlin in the 80s. This is the closest to proof of existence I can offer.

Let's ask ourselves whether users have an internal ranking of the best places to have a blood test (I do, but I have 5+ a year). Then, whether you have the throughput of users to make the numbers less noisy. Then if you want to use your finite opportunities for feedback for something this _thin_.
