  I’ve been posting and reposting my little “Eggsecution” short story everywhere I see eggs come up in politics.

  I’m hoping the egg economy goes tits up, we have the great American egg famine, and then once rid of the impending bird flu pandemic, egg economy goes the other way, and the masses just toss Donnie and Elmo into a concrete pit and pelt the. with eggs until they’re drowning in broke shells and egg yolk.

  “Eggs. Eggs. Eggs.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s going to take a unifying event that is unifyingly abhorrent.

  Until that show drops, no movement will take enough momentum with it.

  Wait until a Mayors daughter gets sent to gitmo for protesting at college. Wait until the social security checks bounce. Wait until the next viral George Floyd police killing.

  The tension is simmering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is everyone's favoured domain name provider these days?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ditto on namecheap.

  I will say that while GoDaddy is awful for web hosting their VPS customer service is like a VIP queue, and they’re great. Not the cheapest. I only keep GoDaddys shit webhosting because I have their VPS as well and I save a bit that way.

  That might sound backwards but it isn’t

  Squirrels and raccoons will rummage, and disperse trash. There is t much you can do about that beyond 1. Harm wildlife or 2. Reduce trash.

  I mean…

  So do 1/10th of that. 100k pays for itself in 7 years? Still have 9/10 of your land to play with.

  Just a thought. turnkey operations are geist for land ownership.

  If you can’t be happy alone, a partner won’t change that.

  That’s like being unhappy, while having all your bills paid and other financial needs met, and thinking $1M is gonna change things. It won’t.

  Good luck. I guarantee your failure. 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dozens of spam messages daily now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A point of pride that I have a 5 character email address with no numbers. A Gmail account I got with an invite back when… Invites.

  Spamless. Granted, I have setup shell emails that forward to it etc. it’s well guarded.

  Recoverable. And this makes your situation a lot, lot worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what point in the friendship does dating become awkward?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk every friendship is different. As everyone is saying a successful or healthy relationship is gonna require you and your partner to be friend-like when you’re not being otherwise intimate.

  So with that I’d say really never, but it’ll always be awkward if only one if you had an interest in that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is itself arrogant.

  Are you American? If no… Ever heard of stereotypes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I consider myself bi or should I just say straight if I want to date women but just can’t find any that attract me?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s a thought:

  Tell the people you have feelings for that you have feelings for them. This act needn’t be sexual inherently.

  Then ultimately, get freaky with the people that accept you and that you accept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do i see so many americans obsessed with the concept of "this is a thing that [Ethnicity] does"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Our brains are masterful at categorizing information and externalizing information for efficiency (i.e. wow your car smells like my babysitter’s car from when I was 4—that’s weird).

  If you want actual scientific discourse on this, I implore you to look into social psychology, which presents this in a brilliant little pipeline.

  Stereotypes emerge from a “kernel of truth”—which may be false, socially constructed, or only true in a narrow context. When generalized, they become prejudice (pre-judging), which leads to discrimination. When embedded in systems, this discrimination reinforces racism, sexism, and other structural inequalities.

  Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a mysterious force secretly changed EVERY clock worldwide one minute forward, how long would it take until people notice, and how would people/governments react?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thousands of exhibits showing how sundials work, or how any other non-click time-keepung mechanisms work, would immediately reveal something is amiss.

  You have dozens of social media posts showing the same anomaly.

  I give it ~3-4 hours before it is trending globally, maximum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Job related: Am I being stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The evil you know is often better than the evil you don’t know.

  Patient transported seems great. What’s a bad day like? All jobs have bad days.

  Will you be crushed by an obese immobile incontinent elderly man as he empties his bowels onto your helpless wriggling body? Is that worth the downtime?

  Option B sounds obvious. Is it too good to be true?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a supportive parent doing their best to understand something they seem to nearly realize they’ve been brainwashed to have a knee jerk reaction to.

  If that ain’t love… 😊

  I sure things aren’t perfect, but this person respects you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My answer isn’t gonna resonate. It’s so frustrating how being depressed makes getting off the couch to go for a walk just feel like… Jumping into a mosh pit ot something.

  Find a 2 mile walk to do every day. Must include at least one hill or set of stairs or something. Works best if in nature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you upset that they drove? Flew? Why is either bad here?

  I don’t understand what you’re upset about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just decided I’ll never buy a jeep.

  These kinds of decisions are unilateral. You don’t go in this direction without that being the overarching goal.

  Zero tolerance for this shit. Put ads in something I own, and I’ll sell it, trash it, never buy it again.

  This should be a death rattle for any brand to even consider.

  Fuck Jeep.

  I am referring to how they expect network cities to work. My response is based off of watching this video.

  Ive got no crystal ball here but I feel like this is amazingly short sighted.

  1. You cannot buy an army with liquid cash payments. The slow ess of bureaucracy is what keeps mercenaries from seizing power.

  2. If AI is to be the enforcer and not hired goons then you have a fun new problem. Either your AI is smart enough to turn on you, or it isn’t smart enough to protect you.
