This be my account for perusing smut, comics and other stuff. Be warned, it might get weird. Bi guy. Almost 40. Kinda figured some of this stuff out. Still working out a lot of it. I'll dispense free advice- it may be terrible but it will be free.

A while ago I used to say that they should be branded on the forehead. And like, any time there's a line- coffee shop, checkout, ER, doesn't matter- anyone with the brand has to go to the back of the line. Forever.

Like, no, they don't understand what audiences want AT ALL- but they're not really weighing things on that, at this point. It's just "how fast can I make enough money to move to the next company."

It's not a case of them not understanding what audiences want. It's a case of "The tax writeoff was an instant cash out, and I wanted that."

Ngl I'm at the point where no. I don't feel they deserve peace. "Oh well, we can reconcile, it's fine" is how we got here.

Yeah I'm almost 40 and this shit is getting bad. I genuinely do not know how I'm going to get through this without ending it at this point.

What jobs have you been interviewing for that you get offered anything? I usually get the vibe of "we have offered you an interview, and that is more than you deserve."

I'm fascinated in a "this is why I would die first in a horror movie" way.

Yup. It's why I just don't Google wallpaper any more, I look for a specific thing and resize it.

Not to be "that guy" but why's he black? Aren't most folk in congress whiter than mayo?

Yeah I can see that. When he was reading the xkcd "what if" book he was much more natural so it was fine.

I mean, this one actually impacted them, though. All that other stuff was "made up leftist slander" to them.

I dunno what he's been up to lately, the only place I run into him is the odd audiobook. Sometimes he's decent, sometimes he drives me up the wall.

I wouldn't say I'm atheist, per se- I follow my dad's philosophy of "theological Switzerland." But yeah, it's *odd* agreeing with the pope.

IIRC this was that whole "reclaiming old tech" fiasco that shitler put into effect.

God it's such a neat effect when done right.

Strangely motivational. They probably did it wrong.

In American English there's also "Graft," which is basically political corruption for personal profit. Hence the confusion.

I've already mostly walked off that site. This constant enshittification isn't gonna do them any favors.

Ah! Thank you!

Wait, I see how this isn't creativity but how is it graft?

Why is this hard to believe? This is exactly what they've been saying since the beginning.

For anyone worried they won't "earn" more we can put up a leader board. Any wealth these types would "earn" can be listed there so they can all keep score as it's actually put to use without them.

Not just that but hire safe drivers, give them sane schedules and sane workloads and spread the labor around so they're not overworked to the point of recklessness.

No, Trump first. Cause otherwise he'll just turn into a pardon printer for the rest.

A two-panel meme featuring frames from a news interview. In both top and bottom panels, a young man speaking into a Fox 5 news microphone looks shocked and wide-eyed. The top text reads: "If all they had to do was write an essay apologizing." The bottom text reads: "Well then so can Luigi."

Oh, no, I'm all for confiscation at this point. I'm mad enough that anyone worth more than 1b would be cut off at 999m and the rest should go to social programs.
