dump your partner who wants you to diet

June and July are the same months btw. They want you to think they're two different months but it's the same month that's 60 days long. Same way August is actually August and the first half of September

when you see your own post on someone else’s blog but it still makes you laugh a little bit

[paper-mario-wiki]

this post is a self fulfilling prophecy

you’ll never guess my reaction whenever i see it

[wizardarchetypes]

if u get into neopaganism u really have to spend the first like 2 years sorting out all the bullshit and finding out how much of it is either completely made up or outright stolen from other cultures and then go from there. u truly have to experience ego death, academic death, book collection death, and probably 47 other maimings or else you will be stuck believing something some guy said based on nothing in 1987 as your religion. it's harrowing. it's dire.

[wizardarchetypes]

also frustrating is whenever i talk about this i inevitably run into the edgelords like "well it's ALL made up anyway so who cares ha ha ha." do not interact with me.

Meta's Teen Safety Case Just Became a $1.4 Trillion Existential Threat

Meta faces damages almost equivalent to its roughly $1.5 trillion market value.

Thirty-three states have banded together to sue Meta, alleging that the company was exploiting its young users on Instagram and Facebook for profit, including by collecting data from children without parental consent. Four of those states—California, New Jersey, Colorado and Kentucky—also claim that the company misled consumers about the addictive design features on the platforms, thereby causing mental health problems in children who got hooked from an early age. The damages requested by those four states add up to a whopping $1.4 trillion, Meta said in a recent court filing, a figure that would allegedly go even higher with the other penalties the attorneys general seek to add. The number is high by many standards but especially when compared to the company’s market capitalization, which is just above $1.5 trillion.

GOOD. Fucking nuke them from orbit, then piss on the survivors.

My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.

Day 298: He needed that win for his mental health

[vnnypaws]

It was literally in the prophecy guys, didn't you see? you have to vote for him!

[gomjabbar]

our new job launched its mandatory ai transcription program designed to streamline our workflow and not only does it melt down the moment it has to transcribe non-white customers but it keeps hallucinating the existence of a mysterious boy named dorian who shows up in every third call summary

[gomjabbar]

caller got into a car accident on their way to work? their nonexistant son dorian was hurt. got kicked out of a bar and broke their ankle? their son dorian was the one who broke it. i now spend more time having to de-dorian the call summary than if i had just written it myself. really funny. we're required to use this now

The Picture of Dorian GrAI

[charlesoberonn]

Concept: Depressing dystopian factory where everything is gray and samey and the workers are called by their employee numbers by an ominous deep voice.

But it's a really great place to work with high salaries, excellent benefits, and a flexible working schedule with plenty of paid leave. They just like the dystopian aesthetic.

[charlesoberonn]

PA system: Worker 72094. Leave your working station and report to the Supervisor immediately.

Supervisor: Worker 72094. You failed to meet your quota for 3 weeks in a row now.

Worker 72094: I can explain!

Supervisor: You're clearly burned out. I heard you moved recently. Take a mandatory two weeks paid vacation to readjust and report to me then.

Worker 72094: I... thank you?

[charlesoberonn]

Shadowy Board Member: Worker 11335. Do you know why you were summoned?

Worker 11335: Is it because I badmouthed the company during lunch?

Shadowy Board Member: That is correct. We are very displeased, Worker 11335...

Shadowy Board Member: ...with ourselves, that is. We hold ourselves to high standards of excellence which we clearly failed to meet. We were hoping you could advise us on necessary improvements. You will receive appropriate compensation, of course.

Job Interviewer: *wearing a featureless mask and speaking through a voice changer* Welcome to Hopeless Inc., Worker 100100.

Worker 100100: What's with the mask?

Job Interviewer: I'm shy 🤭

[charlesoberonn]

Of course. All Hopeless Inc. employees are due-paying members of Mindless Drones United.

It's a very responsive union that cares about its members on an individual level. They just love the dystopian hivemind aesthetic.

They're actually a Super Evil Corporation, but like, they want to rule the world for generations to come, which requires sustainability (can't rule for generations if the planet dies before the first generation is old,) efficiency (workers are at their most efficient when they have plenty of rest, good pay and benefits, and reasonable work schedule,) and Quality (people will eventually stop buying products if they aren't made with quality and good ingredients.)

[charlesoberonn]

They want to rule the world, but ruling the world is hard. Somebody then suggests the brilliant idea of "exploiting" their workers' knowledge, expertise, and insight.

They'll elevate whoever the workers decide to positions of power to supplement the board's workload.

To save the hassle of a costly internal power struggle, they'll even let the workers choose the leader's successor in some sort of election.

The fools will be none the wiser!
