  At thumbnail scale this particular one also resembles a very tasty looking bread roll.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Under the premise that eventually this endless growth cycle reaches some kind of an end point, then ultimately yes. The wealth has to keep increasing somehow. When you have have saturated every market, eliminated every competitor, captured every last regulator, innovated every last facet, optimised every metric, you have to start cutting wages, or replacing labour with machines. When evey worker is replaced or the wages are less than enough for survival no one’s getting paid. Who buys the stuff?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eloquently phrased.

  So until they read about it on the internet they were leaving their butthole covered with shit all day?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan appears to be confused about Christmas⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they actually try to run with the idea that the KFC on Christmas thing is how it’s celebrated outsideof Japan as well? I just assumed that they’d kind of formed their own tradition that’s less formal and less associated with home cooking since it’s not a real holiday and just a kind of for fun thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tired of hearing about “The offshore team”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since it isn’t happening to you personally I guess it would be hard to back up with evidence but is there not somewhere you could anonymously report these abuses and concerns to? Any government department? At the very least the misrepresented conditions seem like they must be a violation of something . If it’s anonymous hopefully you’d be shielded and you don’t personal face the same risks to your well being. If there’s anything that is actionable it could result in better conditions all round.

  Your tip might be a piece of information that they can add to any other such information to trigger an investigation maybe. Here in Australia at least, the government does at least sometimes act on abusive labour practices, they’ve swooped in on farmers employing fruit pickers who are almost entirely foreign and who suffered absolutely blatant wage theft and abuse and other high profile instances such as foreign embassy staff being treated as slaves.

  Well, he chimp, the duck and the frog all looked pretty cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes weed eggs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First time I ever ate weed a friend of mine took my birthday nuggs and ground them up and put the weed in a pan with some butter then drained it in to a shot glass with honey and gave it a little nuke to soften everything up. Considering how makeshift it was and the gross little bits of leaf getting caught in your mouth it was surprisingly good, the actual weed component of it made the whole thing taste a little like crunchy nut cereal with an oddly herbaceous element to it. Having seen how you’re supposed to make weed butter properly in the time since, it’s surprising that this worked so well but my god I was high as a kite, it was amazing. Don’t know if, given the pretty brief time spent on heat with the butter, maybe it was necessary to actually eat the weed itself rather than strain it, wouldn’t recommend that if can be avoided but then again this was all ready in under 10 minutes.

  This ended way less fucked up than I thought a concept called “sisterpilled”, from 4chan, was going to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germ Blaster⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I particularly hate those airblade things even more than regular air dryers. I like that they’re faster and typically not as gross and warm but they are designed in a way where you feed your hand in to a narrow gap with powerful air jets on front of and behind your hands in this gap. Your hands are not a completely uniform symmetrical shape, the jets buffets your hand around and it inevitably touches the device where the jets are located, right where everyone else has had the same thing happen. It grosses me out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨definitely⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You sure do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You best start believing in a cyberpunk dystopia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  On balance it could be that the risks to your personal safety might outweigh the perceived increase in secrecy. To me I don’t like the idea that I’ve left a record that can be questioned if I’m getting prosecuted, but you’re right I haven’t factored in the overall risks from the alternative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays spin the bottle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds… ominous

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays spin the bottle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not an entirely faulty line of thinking in that environment. Those bastard kids really did do that kind of thing all the time and they found it hilarious. When all your experiences up until that point made such an unexpected scenario seem unlikely, the chances of it being a cruel prank instead probably really are higher or even higher still someone recognising your plight and trying to be charitable whilst not quite realising that that hurts almost as much.

  As you probably guessed I didn’t enjoy school a whole lot either. I hope she was sincere though dude. God knows school fucks with your mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You best start believing in a cyberpunk dystopia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, indeed. Hence the earlier, “HOW GET MONEY?” someone so eloquently asked in relation to this dead drop method. You could arrange your own dead drop for the dealer’s payment I guess, or stuff the money in to the same tree. It’s all a bit fraught, and requires you both to trust each other even more than a deal normally would. The system seems to be pretty flawed. Guess it works of you’re happy to leave an indelible record of you transacting with this person and if you trust them to actually put the goods there rather than just take the money since you’ll never see them and have no recourse.

  I’d be uneasy with electronically transferring funds for illicit drugs, cash seems wiser.

  I’m curious about the “better tech than us” claim. Can you give some more detail and context to this?

  It’s a secret rouse so you won’t suspect the stuff that they don’t tell you and get together every few months to co-ordinate keeping under wraps.

  Better that than confused people watching videos of Joe Rogan or Trump or something, maybe there’s a natural deterrant against disinformation in the name by just getting people to watch cows all day long. Then again I’m sure people would start taking cow dewormer eventually.

  Yeh, this is a weird question. Kid has to know he’s going to be accepted by his own Dad and still be able to make up their own mind on things. Hopefully when they’ve more fully developed they might sway a different way but acceptance from their Dad shouldn’t really be conditional upon it.
