Gunnie: Oh, do you want to jump?

Norm: I want to get the fuck out of here.

lavonte's reaction every time tyler does some freak shit that is both so sincere and disturbing is so funny to me.

like, this is a man who is disgusted, concerned, impressed, and touched all at once.

Brennan fucked up so bad giving Nancy Danderhoof a husband. She could have been in a polycule with real life Batman and a WOC version of Stephen King.

think it's a deep consolation to know that spiders dream, that monkeys tease predators, that dolphins have accents, that lions can be scared silly by a lone mongoose, that otters hold hands, and ants bury their dead. that there isn't their life and our life. nor your life and my life. that it's just one teetering and endless thread and all of us, all of us, are entangled w it as deep as entanglement goes. v neat i think.

“So... We got the exploding diarrhea. Here's my advice for anyone who doesn't have it yet:

It's going to take a minute for the government to pin down where this is coming from, and then issue a recall, because the FDA has been gutted. But, I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt : this is coming from Taylor Farms produce, and you will see them recalled.

You'll want to avoid all Taylor Farms produce in the grocery store. They supply McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, about any fast food place you can think of.

Raspberries, watermelons, cilantro, and the veggies you're hearing about are not causing this many people to get sick. It's the shredded lettuce, specifically, that's the problem. But, you'll want to stay away from every type of produce this company puts out, because one strand of shredded lettuce is all it takes to contaminate bushels.

Taylor Farms is the source. Taco Bell proactively pulled their produce from their restaurants. You're going to see other fast food places doing this, and probably will see that before the government names a source. The FDA knows this, but they can't come out and tell us all until there's proof, which takes resources and research, which takes manpower, but the FDA has been cut by about 20-30%

During the Biden term, onions at McDonald's had ecoli. We knew this because DNA testing was done quickly and they were able to narrow it down to one place that caused the outbreak. And, it was traced back to Taylor Farms. This isn't going to be solved as quickly though.

When you get this, make a virtual appointment to your PCP - a "same day sick" appointment. Tell them someone in your family just tested for this and was positive and was prescribed Bactrim. If you go in person, they're probably going to make you poop in a cup and wait until results come back to prescribe.

You'll know when you get this. Trust me on all of this.

You'll want to stay hydrated because this parasite damages the lining of the small intestine. Your small intestine, in turn, secretes more water into the gut, and less nutrients and liquid are able to remain in the body. So no matter how much you shit, you're going to want to drink. A day of this leads to dehydration if you don't increase your fluid intake, and a few days will land you in the hospital.

If you have headaches, weakness, muscle cramps, dizziness, or an increase heart rate - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Go to the ER for fluids if you can't drink enough.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Brought to you by America's 250 birthday celebrations, workforce reduction in the FDA and CDC, and viewers like you.

Please feel free to share this.

And, MAGA - don't blow up the comment section. I argued with y'all on COVID bc I was afraid y'all would die, but I really don't care if you get explosive diarrhea.

And no, ivermectin will not help this at all.”

Well, OP was very much correct!

[desolationlesbian]

I don't want to buy mass-produced garbage from a big box store so I go to etsy but half of etsy is now dropshipped mass-produced garbage or AI slop so I go to the local arts and crafts street market but a ton of those booths are also selling the same generic plastic objects or identical stickers or 3D printed dragons so WHERE do I buy real trinkets and art from sincere freaks

[unseenbox]

Sorry i simply think it is very sweet that brennan wanted to make his friends laugh so badly he accidentally made his campaign's finale too silly the second smiling Richard Nixon walked out and they all lost it. Like. The intrepid heroes are the sweetie-est actually.

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

[patronsaint-ofmystery]

i don’t know that brennan every specified maya or amelia’s age but i take them both as gen z especially because of maya’s pessimism when it comes to the coterie. even though i have the perspectives of the pcs, i get where she’s coming from with her distrust. as someone who grew up in an age of cancel culture and finding new definitions of accountability, i completely understand her taking a look at their chaos and the way they throw money around and feeling the urge to test them. obviously she was getting in her own way but that’s very realistic to activists of my generation. it’s also something i’m guilty of and am trying to learn from. to be honest maya’s better than me because if i saw the ai messages i would have blocked hj and cursed him.

maya jayashtri is one of the npcs of all time. she is a real human being to me and i love her so bad

A jaded vampire who accidentally discovers SSRIs and now wants to just chill and pick up some hobbies is the most Ally Beardsley take on an immortal predator. He still eats people but he doesn’t want his whole unlife to be ABOUT that, you know? Blood raves are out. A pottery studio is in.

[unseenbox]

Like, there's something to the self-fulfilling prophecy nature of Maya's distrust that I really dig. Because she didn't trust LaVonte, she tried to arrange a meeting without him, which set off HJ not trusting her, which lead to the whole thing spiraling into a misunderstanding where both sides were ready to give up on the whole thing until LaVonte himself talked to her.

It's like Maya's guarded nature is a mirror to LaVonte's and it's only by them both being vulnerable that they could hash things out and cooperate. And I just really love that.

[renrooked]

love olethra so much she's just happy to be there
