As someone that has been writing CSS for something like 18 years, this is peak cringe.

So cute! Hooray for pasta and food-based pet names!

I nominate Macaroni!

You’d have to be incredibly stupid to not be able to see how easily gamed this whole thing is. All it takes are insiders to submit “outlandish” bets on things they know are going to happen. Like… this is the stupidest pipeline for upward wealth shift there is right now. You’d have to be 100% devoid of intelligence to be a working class participant.

Something like 70% of all Polymarket bets are won by roughly 0.04% of the users. It’s the same capitalists winning every time, while working class folks lose their shirts.

Everything in the US is a massive unhinged, unregulated grift now. This is a scam economy in a scam country.

More Perfect Union video about this.

I work from home, mothafucka.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

They will call it “Priority Support” and it will incur an extra fee.

Here’s Wonderwall 🎸

“I need a good dopamine boost…”

The word is “tummy.”

Protests that exist within the legal confines of the government you’re protesting against, are essentially just block parties. They’re a release valve.

Damn, that sounds like what I need. My thoughts are like a browser with 500 tabs open, with one playing music, and I can’t find it.

That is an insanely astute description of the feeling. It would make me really indifferent to everything and I was noticeably short with people. It was wild how obvious it was to myself too, and not one of those scenarios where someone else has to finally tell you.

Thanks for the info! It was Atomoxetine, which I think is also under some other names. I need to really get a formal diagnosis though like you did. I’ve encountered that crash before and it’s the worst. Felt like I immediately needed a nap when it hit.

Do you run into any mood changes? I was on a non-stim for a while and haven’t medicated at all since because I hated how moody it made me.

I definitely didn’t understand most of it then as a kid, but I feel like it opened a doorway that shaped who I am today. That was also in the 90s when US society wasn’t yet destitute for working class families.

My parents were antiwar and liberal af. My mom once told me as a kid that if the draft happened, they’d move me to Canada. So I was radicalized pretty early on about imperialism (in the most rudimentary sense—I was a kid after all).

The drawings weren’t great either lol. I still have them somewhere.

I was drawing pictures making fun of George Bush Sr. in 7th grade. I’ve felt bad about this place for uhhhh… a while.

This rules. I love finding places like that.

Yeah, we have a few local places that will do to-go orders, so we give them our money instead. The last few times where we grabbed fast food because we were traveling or just super busy, it was just a shit experience. I’m okay parting with my money if it’s going back into a local business.

My wife and I have also started shopping in smaller grocery runs. So we will buy food for like 3 meals ahead of time, and then do it again after a few days. We find that we have much less food waste and we make less impulsive decisions. I just wish veggies didn’t suck so much now.
