My adblock is fucking clutch. I haven’t seen a single political ad. All my information comes from my echo chamber

It was cheaper to buy a printer and everything else than using a printing service. It makes me feel crotchety even though nothing happened (I already have a printer).

Besides being spineless and pathetic, if I’ve learned anything about the Internet it’s that the machine literally runs on outrage. If you are a lightning rod for outrage, you’re a lightning rod for money. Think about the payout Imane Khelif is about to get from terf woman and divorced science dad. People cannot get enough being mad. You have the perfect machine for it in the Internet. People need to take breaks from making millions on the Internet because they get so fucking mad so fucking often they need to go touch grass. People spend billions and billions trying to get people to look at them while they’re getting mad. And you’re telling me you’re getting hits on “contentious content” and you’re upset about it? It jeopardizes ad revenue? GET NEW AD REVENUE! IT’S THERE! BLUE CHEW TOOK OUT ADS ON THE CUM TOWN PODCAST AND YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU CANT GET A RAID SHADOW LEGENDS TO SPONSOR PINK NEWS? GET AN INTERN TO SEND AI GENERATED LETTERS TO POTENTIAL SPONSORS. YOU HAVE A HOT COMMODITY AND YOU’RE THROWING IT IN THE GARBAGE.

All you’d need to do is open a comments section under your articles and give an ally mod powers (give them $200/mo and never look at it again to avoid every headache) and you’d get infinity traffic to your website - enjoy your yacht.

I think one of the first times being a leftie resonated with me instead of being an anti-war lib was seeing people get cyber bullied for being racist. They weren’t talking down to them and they weren’t offended. They wanted pictures of their hog. They were a little freak who needed to shut the fuck up.

If that’s co-opted by the DNC I’ll be sad in the sentimental sense. Our adaptation when they invariably fuck it up and lean too hard on the pageantry will be exciting.

If I had a flower that was wilting, I wouldn’t call it a worthless flower, I’d think “oh shit, what am I not giving this flower?” I’d ask what it is about the environment that is being unsupportive of your hope and joy.

Funny enough, you caught me in the middle of a tiny spiral. Sounds like something we could commiserate about, probably.

Goddamn, look at it. I hate it so much it’s unreal. It’s like I’ve thrown a metric fuck load of money and effort into not feeling so low and I’ve looked at my situation from 50 different directions and tried 100 different things and it’s like would I feel that much more down if I just never questioned anything at all? I doubt it.

One struggle session? That’s good, but those are rookie numbers in this racket. You need to pump those numbers up. Take a second shit break tomorrow.

Comrade Kamala is pretty okay. But I think it’s a bit pandering. When you’re talking about people being tiny, liars, sleepy, etc. I think Hyena Harris would get you further. If you had sauce you could riff about how she laughs (noting that making fun of someone’s laugh is a surefire way to make them stop doing it so it’s a really rude thing to do). You’d transition to talking about how she’s on good drugs, how the Crakkker HouSSe was giving drugs out like candy and go straight into how much you hate Obamnacare. If you’re feeling yourself one day, you can talk about how they were giving away more drugs than the crack epidemic and really drive that wedge issue - catch some people lacking with some red-brown rhetoric.

Honestly, the Trump campaign should put me, a communist, in charge of their PR strategy. I’d put the lib campaign into the fucking garbage can with this shit.

I was at a farmers market once and bought a transcendentally good Banh mi from a food truck. They’ve never returned to the farmers market and I’ve never seen them anywhere else.

It’s funny because you’re not even getting into exotic ingredients with the most far out being what? Sriracha? Cilantro? Ginger? They didn’t even suggest MSG that scares everyone off. You’re not pickling with rice wine vinegar and sugar (though I think you should) You could probably serve that shit in the bible belt and people wouldn’t look twice.
