Lol. Because I’m of the same age of a lot of these cretins, I have came up with an elaborate set of events that got us here.

But I was leaning more toward:

The kids who haven’t grown out of the G.I. Joe phase. They can’t let go that Cobra Commander is not real.

I'm fascinated by how market conditions and a culture of aimless A/B testing has destroyed the cognition of silicon valley people. They don't know how to build products for people to use, and are baffled when the people who do aren't plugged into whatever inscrutable aims they have internally

We did this with Tonight We Riot, and folks, lemme tell ya, we got very little blowback.

&dy Ng0 found our game **2 full years** after it was released, complained about it on Twitter, and the only thing it did was make us $9000.

People just need to make the art that conservatives are going to claim that they made anyway

Rolling Stone @rollingstone.com · 21h

Paul Thomas Anderson's celebrated family drama and political thriller is far from the "apologia for radical left-wing terrorism" its conservative critics claim it is.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

While AI is absolutely destroying the internet I think at the least being engaged with meaningful and substantive interests and hobbies online will stave off being exposed to some of the slop that floats up to the top of apathy doom scrolling habits
