Yeah satire is hanging on by a thread these days

xx_Pelosi420_xx doesn’t settle for incremental upgrades

Yeah I was thinking about this the other day after watching some Twilight Zone or something. It’s interesting that a lot of our fantasy/sci-fi is about how pathetic humanity might be compared to alien beings, especially since in reality we actualy play the role of the highly superior beings.

My gramps died at 88 but he was a lifelong smoker and alcoholic and had emphysema for the last decades of his life so I believe that without addiction he’d probably have lived to 100.

The store in my neighborhood thought it wise to lock up the fancy Italian coffee beans. I’m absolutely sure it will not stem theft and will absolutely decrease sales. The bags are big - these are the 1kg bags - so I’m fairly sure most of the theft that is happening is internal anyway.

This is my concern too. Sure, I’m not a huge fan of the idea of myself dying someday, old and decrepit. But there are a ton of people out there about whom it gives me some relief to remember that they too will die. And most of them are the kind of people who whold have first access to anti-aging treatments.

Yeah I can, add a hinge and swivel so it can go widescreen too

Yeah I try not to be an ass about being wrong

Ah well glad to learn something

Huh, I stand corrected!

Absolutely agreed. I’d love to say that I left Facebook and then Twitter for heroic reasons but both of them pushed me out when there was no longer a way to just get the reverse chronological. Facebook when the algos took over and then Twitter when they started forcing people to pay for Tweetdeck.

Yeah an algorithm is a series of mathematic instructions so from my armchair I’d say sort by date is not an algorithm. But to complicate things further there seems to be a sticking point with some that social media uses heuristics and not algorithms. I don’t really understand the difference nor do I really care as this is all too much about semantics - /u/grue’s final point is still spot on IMO. Why mess with letting a billionaire toy with the minds of your citizens? Let the USA have twitter and all that chaos to themselves.

I’m sure Canada would love that influx of crazy

I think it’s because it’s not even remotely on their radar. They’re fighting a class war and obliterating an opponent that barely knows its fighting. Meanwhile the rest of us are doing a really really good job at dividing ourselves up for them and making their job exponentially easier.

They love that we’ve bought into the whole left vs. right idea hook line and sinker, what they couldn’t have counted on is how we continued to divide ourselves into smaller and smaller circles that refuse to play with each other.

Why would they bother silence us when the best we can muster is a bunch of memes and squabbling?

As we all know, the proper term for it is Christmas Christmas Eve

And then we ingested a bunch of lead through our lungs

Is the Pico VR set not available where you are?

Every time I watch it I am surprised at how well Xmas and Halloween go together. And mostly because Xmas is sort of a spooky holiday too yet no one ever acknowledges it.

The irony being here that a ‘working class hero’ to Bret is someone who is no longer working class

Yeah I don’t get it either. Got this one because it was stupidly blingy. Guess what side this is?
