  I get these all the time, too. The fun part is, I’ve never donated to a campaign. I just inherited them from the person who had my number before.

  I try not to hold it against Rebecca. She was just standing up for what she believes in.

  And then, in the case of it explaining how to counterfeit money, the AI gets so excited about solving the puzzle, it immediately disregards everything else and shouts the word in all-caps just like a real idiot would. It’s so lifelike…

  It’s just how things rotate out. Gen X had it, Millenials had it, now it’s Gen Z’s turn. It gets views from older generations who want any excuse to look down on those who’ve come after, and the generation in-question when they see the headline and think “what? Who the fuck is doing that? What are they talking about?”

  Get ready for it to go on through the next decade or so.

  (That said, it is horseshit, and “that’s how it’s always been” is no excuse to let things continue like that. I wouldn’t mind seeing an end put to it, myself)

  Yeah, I like to think I’m immune to advertising until I see one that makes me think “damn, I haven’t had Burger Restaurant in a while.” The worst part is that I’m fully cognizant of what’s happening, and yet I still want some and it’ll make me think about it for a while afterward.

  But, joke’s on you, Burger Restaurant! I’m fucking broke, son! Now we’re BOTH having our time wasted

  I like doing entire phrases with some rhymes thrown in. Makes it easier to remember them.

  “BonyTonyMoansHe’sOnlyGrownLonely” has a shitload of characters, and a full sentence (even a nonsensical one like that) is more memorable to me than a random handful of disparate words.

  The more ridiculous, the better.
