Guy reacting to video: OMG LMAO did events just happen?? That’s craaazy!!

This is nothing. This could have been a comment, and it would’ve been a bad comment. This is your career? You have fans of this?

Fuck it I’m gonna name names: just saw a yt short of schlatt watching a tiktok w/ heavy techno and a guy making a sandwich, eating it bite by bite and then making a bowl of cereal. Schlatt said “what the fuck he just made a sandwich and a bowl of cereal after????” This is the opposite of content.

So we really don't like to build our name off of someone else's dipshittery

but five months after this post
(which was not the first SM fuckery)

almost EVERY new sticker client mentions wanting to get away from Sticker Mule

So thanks, I guess, weird Sticker Mule guy.

We quality checked THREE THOUSAND stickers by hand this morning

I've had actually conversations with every single person who has ever ordered stickers from us.

We care about the quality of clients receive, not how cheap we can make them.

But go off about your robots, Donkey Show 💀

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
