Fewer martini lunches too, though I’m not sure about the water bill

The religious doctrine of the Church Of Inbox Zero is very clear that this is a zero sum game.

We still have that lmao

Not a Sprite fan I take it

Didn’t one of the new movies have a whole thing about the mil-industrial complex?

Unless otherwise specified, my assumption is that laborers working for oligarchs made the tech

That’s the softest. Just the weakest. Disreputably fragile. The secondhand shame is radioactive, I need iodine. I can’t even cringe because my face went numb.

A little bit of Weegee Mangione

That would be a win. I think they’re currently angling for more nuclear energy. Because of course.

It’s from the Minge Dynasty

I’m afraid I can only give partial credit, my grading rubric required a mention of “purchasing power”.

Part of what makes me so annoyed is that there’s no realistic scenario I can think of that would feel like a good outcome.

Emphasis on realistic, before anyone describes some insane turn of events.

I once did this during an end of term Spanish competition. I was a D student all term long, but at the end of it one girl jokingly proposed. I was a rock star.

Been chasing that dragon for the last two decades.

A ritual excommunication? I wish we had a transcript. Were you abjured?

That’s pretty rad

A lot has gone wrong, but I’m happy that at least the trans community is delivering on the promise of rogue body-modding hackers resisting a corpo-fascist greyface empire

I, an utter imbecile, was trying to find the pun in being “pi rad”

I think you’re reading some things into what I said to make it magical, but it’s not important. I’m just ideating because you got me excited about an idea.

What about a subtler zombie pathogen that merely rewires your brain to make you allergic to everything but meat. It would have longer to spread, and the increase in consumption would probably cause a general environmental collapse.

You’d have aspects of cannibalism, societal collapse, and dramatic infection deceit scenes and nobody would ever look like a zombie.

People would have to publicly eat plants to prove they’re not zombies to enter secure areas. Remember the time Arby’s made a fake carrot that was made of meat? They called it a megetable. That’s real. What if the infected wormed their way into the food industry and started mislabeling things to muddy the waters due to social stigma?

Scientific zombies wouldn’t necessarily look dead, and a real version would be way less overt.

The great thing about this meme is that it will keep getting funnier the older it gets

*only works on phrenologists

I know now, but a lot of us knew the quote long before we’d read that one.
