A mirror. You might have need of one.

They know what they’re doing. Their constituents may be stupid enough to believe it, but all those people at the top are completely aware of the grift they’re running.

They’re technically almost all underage.

They do. Not all of them likely, but the most popular ones for sure.

I thought they somehow managed to trick it into revealing the keys of the systems it was running on, but these are just random kms keys from forums.

Still neat how they use tags to obfuscate the filtered keywords. Gonna have to remember that one.

It sure is, but I have no idea from where. Picked it up online long ago.

That’s why I hate the insertion of “mindfulness” into every type of self-help.

Motherfucker, did it ever occur to you that my hyper-awareness of shit is part of the cause of my problems?

Caregiver burnout is a thing. Don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

In the same vein, Joseph Broz Tito sending a letter to the Kremlin addressed to Stalin to stop sending assassins, because they always bungled their ops. He added “If you do, I’ll send one to Moscow and I won’t have to send a second”.

Stalin left him the fuck alone after that.

Hopefully not a drawn out depression like the 1930s.

Much worse. This time it’s going to be permanent.

The 1% own even more stock than they own outright money. You could replace “the economy” in every article with “rich people’s yacht money”. The stock market is 100% dissociated from reality and shouldn’t be used as a measure of general wealth by any means.

About three fiddy.

I did, but long ago. Problem is when you’re taking ssri’s/snri’s, especially in large doses, mushrooms lose their effect. Taking psylocibin on these meds doesn’t do anything, you don’t even get visuals anymore, only a mild euphoria at best.

I’ve been depressed for three decades and nothing I’ve tried so far has worked, but I’ll be stone cold dead before they put fucking chips in my brain. /oldmanyellsatcloud.jpg

I have two; a male common corn snake and a male hognose. They are definitely not cuddly animals, as you stated. However, they absolutely can and do get to know their handlers, and learn how to be relaxed when handled - and they obviously enjoy it, since they often seek out being handled of their own free will (I usually open the enclosure when they’re “surfing” up against the glass and let them decide whether they want to slide into my hands). I’ve had them for a few years now and I have been bitten, but never out of “malice”. All biting incidents were my own fault due to inexperience, and the snakes mistaking my hands for their meal. A snakebite from a non-venomous or very mildly venomous snake is no worse than a bee sting. If you have cats, you’ve probably been through worse than whatever a snake can do to you.

All in all, could recommend!

Snake tax:

Haha it’s a bit too human apparently. Starts freaking out and having a nervous breakdown when things keep going wrong. Maybe the thing’s already sentient and we’re basically just torturing it for our amusement? That surely won’t backfire once it actually gains new abilities.

Also:

Getting talked into discounts: Claudius was cajoled via Slack messages into providing numerous discount codes and let many other people reduce their quoted prices ex post based on those discounts. It even gave away some items, ranging from a bag of chips to a tungsten cube, for free.

This presents… possibilities for all commercial entities who will eventually use AI agents for storefronts and online sales.

They’re all owned by billionaire techbros. That’s misalignment right there. /j I know there’s open source and China as well.

Low ball, rookie numbers! I say we go for 90%, including the added costs of re-hiring previous staff or training new ones.

I got a samsung phone last year with a 200 bucks rebate. You better believe I cashed that in right quick (“while supplies last”).

So less cheaters and griefers in online lobbies? Rare Putin W.
