Everything about the USA will make you feel as if your whole ability to reason and think coherently has just flown away.

I'm thinking right now about a radio advertisement I overheard for Indeed - a theoretical jod search website. The advertisement, however, was directed at companies who were searching for employees. Presumably these companies pay Indeed to serve as a hub for their job postings and applicants. So Indeed wants people signed up, because more accounts shows more potential applicants and they can get more money from companies looking for employees. There's no money in actually connecting applicants to positions, so you sign up, make the account, discover you signed up for a portal that just sends you to other company's jobs pages with the same info and spams you with jobs you don't want, and you leave forever. Money in the bank.

Meanwhile on the hiring side, job postings make a business look good. If you always got job postings, you're growing. But keeping fresh postings in rotation is time consuming, especially when you're lean staffed on purpose with investors who demand you show an infinitely growing rate of improvement. So you pay Indeed a monthly fee to upload a bunch of jobs you aren't hiring for and use that to hook more investors to pay the first group.

And you end up with a company that gets paid to do nothing but generate fake data by other companies paying them to do nothing but post fake information, and the only part we (the ones looking for income to survive) play in this transaction is lending the process just enough legitimacy to make it legal. Money that doesn't exist cycles around between people doing nothing and as long as none of us can afford groceries or a home, the economy is considered "doing well," but the second one investor caves and demands to be paid, the economy collapses and suddenly 99% of the population in the USA can afford to eat again.

All you have to do is multiply that by a thousand companies doing it a thousand times a month and that's the USA baby, except also we supply billions of dollars of weapons killing people around the world.

you picked me

hey so since we're talking about how awful the minecraft movie looks we're all going to agree not to go see it in theaters right? not even to hatewatch it? we all are in agreement that its a soulless cash grab movie, so we all know that the only way to stop them from making more like it is to give them no cash to grab, right?

yes this includes watching it for the bit. yes this includes bringing your friends to go make fun of it. yes this includes just watching it out of curiosity.

do Not go see this shit in theaters. do Not give them your money. they dont care whether you enjoyed it or not, they only care about what number the box office gives them. so make sure the box office cant give them shit.

How is bnha anime of the decade...... they aren’t even anime of the hour of the minute of the second

What fahrenheit haters (fahrenhaters) will never understand is that the celsius system simply does not allow one the outlet of incredulously going "ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN DEGREES!??!?!??!??" when it is 107 degrees outside. "Forty one degrees" is far too mild a number when grappling with the fact that it is 107 fucking degrees outside

Sometimes we could all use a reminder. (source)

oh you like history? name everything that ever happened

BWAHAHAHA VISUAL DATA MY BELOVED

regarding US liberal politics i cannot emphasize enough that a democrat president has not been better for trans rights than the previous republican one. the last four years have seen some of the worst backsliding on trans rights specifically, with access to gender affirming care being explicitly illegalized in a number of states. proclaiming that my rights are stored in the bodies of brown people abroad- a statement democrats will routinely ridicule republicans for- looks especially absurd in the circumstance where the party you are championing isn't even pretending to do that for people like me! there are 8 instances of the word "transgender" in the whole of democrat's 92 page 2024 party platform, half of which are the democrats congratulating themselves for allowing trans women to be drafted and serve the imperialist war machine, with the rest not referencing any specific policy or policy plan at all. at best they're quietly complicit in killing trans people and trans women especially. do not appeal to my existence in your justifications for genocide

WOOH BRONZE II !!!!! Best player in the world here I come!

I am 28 entire years old and didn’t realize I had my mic on and a baseball game on the radio. I have become That Person. I willingly accept my execution

Playing my new obsession game, and it’s the first game I’ve played in like. 15 years that’s competitive and has ranked. So it’s taken me abt a dozen races but I’ve finally got “a” amount of rank!!! Wooh!

“When Canada visits you”

The human mind was not designed to survive any single thing for more than like. 42 minutes.

And even getting that far should put you in the running for a million dollars or something

Working a register rn when my usual set of things i do are playing Minecraft and blogging abt whatever strikes my fancy. I’m deeply rusty on human skills, fully out of my depth and drowning glub glub.
