The only ads I see are for payday loans, gambling apps, and the lotto. Either I am getting brutalized by the algorithm, or this is just what everyone sees, which is fuckin' BLEAK

Economy isn't so great right now, and times are hard, but there ARE job opportunities out there, if you look in the right places.

my new calendar presupposes earth's orbit has been adjusted from the old style (the planet taking a full 365.2422 days to complete a single orbit around sun) to the new style (a comfortable yet zippy 7)

www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

T-Rex: We've got a calendar with some months of 30 days, some of 31, and one of 28 - and sometimes 29?? And "December" is the TWELTH month, despite having "ten" right there in its name?

T-Rex: WHAT are we DOING?

Dromiceiomimus: What we're doing, T-Rex, is not messing with calendar reform, because it's only been successfully done a handful of times in history, and the last time we did it with ANY success was in 1582 with the Gregorian calendar, and that took a whole-ass POPE to pull it off!!
T-Rex: Not even a half-ass pope?
Dromiceiomimus: NOT EVEN!

Utahraptor: And even THAT'S a lie because it still took HUNDREDS of years for everyone to get on board!
T-Rex: Hmm.

T-Rex: So what I'm hearing is, change needs to be FORCED. Thus, if we - and by "we" I mean "I" - ALTERED Earth's orbit, then all current calendars would be INVALID, and people would be eager for my new calendar!
Utahraptor: Hold up - how are you going to alter Earth's orbit??

Off panel: ...I'm serious, I want to know!
Off panel: You can't just stand there motionless and think I'll walk away. I won't do it, T-Rex!!
Off panel: JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO AND HOW YOU INTEND TO DO IT

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

This predates the social media wars of the late 2010s: One Trump appointee told me that a radicalizing experience was being booted out of the Gawker comments section, way back in the day. But as progressive movements swept through social media, others were tossed off Twitter and Facebook for stepping over a variety of lines, from allegations of harassment to claims of election misinformation. Pandemic era public health rules and fevered enforcement cost others their accounts.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Every shitty ChatGPT essay is alike, but every shitty human-written essay is shitty in its own way.
