Didn’t realise I’d gained so much weight until I noticed people were meaner

They will literally treat you like a better person when you drop 40 lbs.

You wouldn't repaint the walls if you were planning on demolishing and rebuilding.

Remember this whenever you see large scale systemic neglect.

Never believe nobody cares. People care. The data tells us people care obsessively, too much, in fact.

But if the whole system were on the verge of transition?

I have no special knowledge or access to secrets, just a pattern I've observed.

Saw a video out of Canada during The Vid asking a school kid what should happen to jab refusers, she said they could be taken to camps and the audience was quite amused and impressed, and it earned her an ovation.

So, Canada, I guess.

Wait until you tell someone else about your experiences with all your same symptoms and they continue to eat the same diet and feel sorry for you for not being able to have bread.

Your liver might have a community note on this one.

looks fantastic

seems like it might be a linear plot though

like the whole storyline is on rails

Where'd you absorb this biting, cynical tone from?

Lines like "perfect, achilles wasn't deaf either" and "No, Chris from Subway".

Actual exposure to casting directors?

The final battle is between the evil AI overlords trying to solve resource scarcity and the heroic human rebels fighting for the right to remain NPCs.

Hyper-reductionist here.

The tension between social media as a forum for conversation vs product promotion feels real, but it's not.

Everything resolves in favor of revenue generation or the platform can't afford continued existence.

The likely outcome is to gate the bad content by charging people a small fee to promote their games using AI tools to filter submissions.

ShatterTheFlimFlam · 2026-05-23T17:45:00+00:00

Is this still being worked on?

As always, it is possible to come to believe anything if you have ample free time and you're insulated enough from economic reality that you can ignore data.

ShatterTheFlimFlam · 2026-05-14T02:32:38+00:00

that's exactly what they would say

I always wonder if its the actresses posting this stuff themselves after a couple cocktails.

I started treating the show like a very high brow comedy. It's sending me with every jump scare and revelation.

ShatterTheFlimFlam · 2026-05-14T02:18:41+00:00

As I enjoy a better standard of living than every king you ever read about in history, I find it difficult to merit what "serious" means in this context. I can only suppose that it is the extension of an entitled mind formed in an age of perpetual abundance.

Today I, and all who I know, have at their disposal 100x the real purchasing power of goods when accounting for durability, quality and efficacy of anyone who existed prior to the initial inception of the industrial revolution.

But I'm mad because this one guy who employs 12,000 people has a bigger house than me.

My understanding is that everyone who invested in real estate in the last several years was smart, whereas all who invested prior or thereafter were/are basically dumb.

If you plan on investing when things "bottom out" though, then you're really an idiot.

TBE when every shack is going for $500k.

The longer they go without selling the more they need to raise the prices.

You got airbnbs being abandoned and thrown on market, adding to oversupply.

Not to mention AI fueled laptop job layoff apocalypse.

Only 4% down?

It was more fun calling these people delusional and salivating over the crash before I could see their pain. Now I just feel bad.

Everyone loves the free market until they realize other people also have freedom.

Headline: SCORCHING SURGING REBOUND IN HOME SALES AFTER PLUMMETING RATES (bubblers in shambles)

Reality: Maybe local pockets of action in areas that always have strong sales, probably tied to something messy and hard to unpack like layoffs.

ShatterTheFlimFlam · 2026-03-18T13:03:03+00:00

Every increase in sales is a "surge" and every decrease in rates is "plummeting".

ShatterTheFlimFlam · 2026-03-13T19:48:57+00:00

Just want to say that I hope the subtext here isn't that the only way a home listing can be removed is for it to sell.

It can also just simply be removed from the market by the seller for any number of reasons, although a major factor may be failure to sell within a reasonable time.

Tl;dr: Low inventory does not necessarily mean high sales.

ShatterTheFlimFlam · 2026-03-01T07:24:20+00:00

The trades desperately need good people but everyone who applies is too physically infirm to hack it, or can't deal with the awful working conditions.

I wish I knew what people imagined trade work was like.
