reads like I’m shopping a bit but I’m not !limmy-what

Rolling hills—western Wisconsin. A lonesome road. A cobalt bus, wandering through the quiet expanse. Inside, two aged men anchor themselves to opposite ends of an empty aisle.

Witness Mr. Dick Cheney, former vice president—architect of war. He reclines on the frontmost-right bench, savoring a rare moment of quiet—a peace denied to the countless victims of his ambition and greed. For Mr. Cheney, this journey is nothing more than a temporary detour—a trivial rebrand, a welcoming audience, a new color of tie to mix with his suits across the month.

In the rear of the bus, we find Mr. Bernie Sanders—senator, figurehead, reformist. He is hunched in the back-left corner, his gaze locked beyond the window of the emergency exit—bolted shut. His pupils trace the receding line of asphalt, the tires feeding it to the meadows. There is a weight in his posture, as his very being is tugged towards quiet resignation—a closing whimper into the end. For somewhere, deep within his thoughts, a terrible truth lingers—this is a one-way trip.

Between them, tossed askew against a bench, stands a lime-green placard—large enough for two. The stretched Arial typography remains legible, yet blurs faintly into the backdrop, as to retreat from clarity—an unalloyed declaration: brat fall

A scene that, just eight years ago, would have been unthinkable to some. But this bus has long since departed a commendable politic. Its destination? The Twilight Zone.

no. the simpler explanation: the Jews and Chinese have combined their phrenologically-subversive forces and resources to isekai in the world's first Weather Mage. Why? In order to kinetically dispatch the first ever anti-woke statecraft project. It's called basic economics pinko !frothingfash

i am also extremely convinced that if i just adjust myself enough there will be a big crack andall of my aches and pains will immediately go away an d I will have perfect posture and i will be cured of mental health and find a million bajillion dollars on the floor and live till im 120

that's how it is baby !lea-finger-guns

No fucking way !wowee

not good for business if both the appearance and function of your products are giving people Lovecraftian breakdowns but you have to do infinite growth in scope so the only way out is to minimize the visual element

still in the oven though !xi-cooking

puzzling out the proofs for concepts so utterly fundamental to math by myself that it’s like if Genesis 1:3 was And God said, 'Let there be integer,' and there was integer

everything the TV man says must be entertained. it is all well-founded and based on real things that are happening! we must listen and learn to both sides of the aisle

you can’t be saying that CIA baby

prohitleriat... can go miles on this one !lenin-heisenberg

66-year old billionaire VC guys shouldn’t be talking like this. what’s going on !tucker-catboy

and conveniently leave out they were posting about something entirely different between the first post and the pivot, how curious!

!

new low for BLM ‘national’, even more mask off then after the mansion shit. hijacking grifters through and through. Leech pieces of shit. Conveniently step in to rake in some cash every time black folks are murdered by the state and use their megaphone to support the people training the murderers !lenin-rage

please, god, stop talking about where you do piracy on public forums. stop talking about specific sites. don't name services. don't link links. don't respond to shutdowns with recommendations on where to go next. stop airing this out publicly. you are not shepherding the masses. you are plattering cash for salivating IP lawyers if you do literally anything other than reply 'DMs' when talking publicly about anything that is even in a light-gray area.

the worst type of posting, all time, is when a piracy site is shut down and all of the absolute lemmings ^{(not an insult I usually like to use!)} immediately decide to pile into the thread of the news post reporting this and go "🙏 thank GOD they didn't get" and then practically post the entire WHOIS lookup for their favorite service alongside the specific products they love to consume on there with an appended "like where else would I watch [MEDIA PROPERTY] 😭"

look. I get it !maybe-later-kiddo we grew up in the panopticon. chronic oversharing online is, IMO, the most prominent feature that gaps millenials and gen Z.

still, you fucking snitch-addicted neuron beasts need to learn discretion! you are skirting the law! your posts are public! you know what I would do if I was a corporate copyright lawyer? hitch a fucking RSS feed to every single news post about a piracy site shutdown and watch as hundreds of people tell on themselves for, what I assume, comes down to:

1. !neuron-activation my site not mentioned in comments must confirm others share qualia with me
2. !zane heh, theyre using that site? lmao, get with the program (my site)
3. !smug-explain ah, it seems the users of this service are lost sheep, allow me to recommend my own illicit service so they shall find their way

and compile the services they VOLUNTEER UP TO THE CHOPPING BLOCK FOR THE NEXT DOSSIER BECAUSE THE VERY CONCEPT OF PRIVACY AND DISCRETION HAS BEEN SKINNER-BOXXED OUT OF PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO EVEN REDIRECT THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS TO DMs BECAUSE THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING BEFORE OTHER PEOPLE SAY IT! THEY HAVE TO CAPTURE THE ZEITGEIST! THEY HAVE TO BE TAPPED IN! THEY HAVE TO LET OTHERS KNOW THEY ARE TAPPED IN! THEY REQUIRE IMMEDIATE UNINTERRUPTED FEEDBACK ON EVERYTHING! EVEN WHEN THEY ARE SKIRTING THE LAW!

THEY JUST GIVE THE GAME AWAY! FOR NOTHING! THEY JUST SAY IT!

If you know anything else that works, let me know and I'll add it. Asked too many times to not try and compile a reference for people, and I sometimes forget myself so it's nice to have the reference. Here are the footnotes, by the way! hello footnotes! !kirby-wave^[hello! !koishi-wave]

was watching the stream last night because I couldn't stomach the DNC unfiltered, yesterday he was giving them the benefit-of-the-doubt that it was a general influencer purge due to poor logistics but it seems he's been definitively informed otherwise

kicked for talking to the verboten elected party delegates, we're saving the soul of democracy here !i-cant

how's it going left caucus of the 99% hitler apparatus, you moving and shaking things yet? !yeah-buddy

because otherwise they’d probably be second at the current moment, tbh !doomjak

nice to have it laid fucking bare !hypersus
