  I do understand. I find myself having to regularly check myself to look for miscommunication instead of malice (or stupidity for that matter).

  The whole thing is whack, and anyone with two cents of mind and some compassion is just gaping at the horrors being casually thrown around and equally horrifying misdirections.

  Thanks to the internet the only way to hide stuff is to drown it out, but we all have our trusted sources (who in turn distort reality in an infotaining world, but that’s where we’re at). This means we can more or less put the big picture together (or at least the players) and make fairly solid guesstimates.

  I tell myself this is an all or nothing attempt by the ruling class to legitimize a strangle hold before any major resource wars break out and that people are really wisening up to their shenanigans. I feel ‘doomerism’ is an aspect where they can easily get me. Don’t let them win.

  I do appreciate the time and effort you put into the comment, but I am not arguing against what you are saying.

  Since Kinsey &co and the summer of love, the movement didn’t evaporate, it perforated society and mutated. I don’t think I’d be going too far by stating, that the sexual revolution couldn’t have happened without the suffragettes. I see the queer movement as a spearhead in the same direction.

  I only had qualm with you saying anything has been undone (sorry if I’m paraphrasing). Yeah, using ‘woke’ as a pejorative for anyone craving progress is a thing now, but that doesn’t mean most of us want nothing more than to love each other freely.

  Was it erased? We are more comfortable with porn than ever (which I wouldn’t say is okay, but definitely not prudish), and after the jews, the biggest boogie man out there is the gender lobby.

  I say we’re in the next phase, and moderators (Visa, Mastercard) need to buckle up for what’s coming.

  Tetris is artsy as shit, especially with that kickass score, Korobeiniki.

  For a better example, maybe contrast it against the more generic marvel movies.

  Pretty wild how they can literally gatekeep a digital entity.

  Maybe they’ll demonetize Amazon next…

  White hat social hacking. What a time to be alive.

  But there is! Infotainment. It’s way more engaging than regular news or just dramas. It’s just not the good touch.

  I mean most others will skip out on the toothpaste variant, but yeah, it’s out there like that kraftwerk song.

  I don’t disagree, but unhappy to report I have the same power over either outcome.

  Let’s wait till the shopping spree is over and break them the fuck up <3

  I think I was able to bring the ‘at’ closer to the time, but I’m not sure it’s correct:

  ‘This can’t possibly be the same 9pm I used to start getting ready at for a night out’

  I’m tempted to remove the ‘used to’ and just put it in simple past for brevity, but that would hold back half the punch.

  This is one of my favorite types of discourse. Polishing jokes and grammar in the gravitas it deserves.

  Truly wonderful.

  You need the gaming in this lifestyle to help divert attention from not being able to get comfort foods at month’s end.

  Otherwise it leaves me all the time to realize the physical and mental hells I am putting myself through. I’ve been qualified for free health care for over a year, but I just arrived to the point where I can reach out and engage the system. I initially thought enrolling would come in handy if I get into an accident, but last week I made the call to start preventive treatments.

  I have an appointment with an actual doctor next month. I am also getting the ball rolling on the emotional side. I was contemplating moving back home, but now I might give this current iteration some more time.

  Oooh, I’m one of those! Gaming on foodstamps and social health in a US state, AMA.
