Typical and completely in-line with current admin’s 2-bit mobster intimidation tactics. :(

Which is still, just insane to think about.

Like holy crap I can hardly imagine seeing 4 dollar-digits of liquidity in my account. In my lifetime, and I think I work hard in a role in society like anybody else.

Something like that would require the most unlikely of windfalls. To think there’s people out there, somewhat “commonly”, going “Hmmm yerrs, let’s put $20k into these stonks. Indeeed…”

…and then they reap returns, and go on and start businesses with “risk” (but not much, proportionally) and then publish books about “quitting the rat race and following your dreams.”

And they might be a few zip codes away from me. It’s nuts to me. Incomprehensible, really. Just…damn.

I don’t wanna be rich, that sounds awful. I just wanna stop forever bracing against the next inevitable-but-untimeable calamity that threatens to throw us all out on the street.

Antiperspirant tends to be the stuff that contains concerning heavy metals. You’re supposed to be able to sweat, it’s just the stinky part that sucks haha.

I unironically recommend watching the gripping horror/drama that is “The Pitt” to understand how ERs work in the United States.

3rd grade. I thought it was the beginning of some kind of an invasion and was terrified it’d be coming for us soon, even though this was really far west at the time.

Maybe

• A: They’re admitting to using user inputs and such as training data gobble-gobble-nom-nom-nom…

And

• B: They don’t want that gobbled user input to create another “I am mecha-hitler.” Lmao

“I can’t believe you took all my money just to sit in the back and stroke Willy all day!”

Yeah I felt pretty gross even mentioning it, but basically the “genius” of the device was making the suffering more palatable to those on the outside of it, so it reminded me of the mentality behind injections today.

According to anecdote and/or legend, the inventor was the first victim.

Yeesh. :(

Ugh, like a chemical bronze bull… yeah it’s freaking horrifying.
