Oh no, it was very specific and hard to cram all the words in to the time. Typical Sora is that it’s either screaming or long pauses.

Came here because the thumbnail led me to believe this would be about the 5 stages of having a new garden.
Left here very vegetable.
- Comment on OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform 2 days ago:
It was used almost exclusively for slop and slop-based ads or videos that shouldn’t be slop. I was on there yesterday and some account had 2 videos of a woman in front of a plain wall talking for 15 seconds about tax implications for investments. A real human could have filed it with an iphone in 3 minutes.
But now that’s Google and Grok’s problems, I guess.

Yeah, but can we just get PG-13/light R-rated horned-up memes? I don’t need to have 32-point Impact font around a close-up of a butthole to have a good time.

Oh look, now you’re hopping on the horny bandwagon?
Puh-leease, I’ve been horny since before you were born.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 days ago:
He can be apolitical in public, and I wish more idiot celebrities would be. You and I don’t need to know his politics. It doesn’t help anything in the grand scheme of things.
- Comment on Question, Star Trek fans: What makes Captain Kirk a good leader? 2 days ago:
100% agree that he’s a very bad leader. That wasn’t his role, his role was arrogant, risk-taking playboy. Keep in mind that the TOS years were the late 60s. TOS ran at the same time as the Smothers Brothers, Green Acres, and Bewitched. Arrogant, risk-taking playboy is a prime white male media main character trope that spans generations and decades. No one likes an asshole - unless it’s YOUR asshole, then it can get shit all over and you expect someone else to clean it up. Kirk broke rules, did whatever, fought everyone and banged everyone else, and always came away a winner. THAT was his role.
Even for the TOS movies, they tone him down into a “leader” a bit and it’s really just being the guy everyone has to listen to. It’s an ensemble of subordinates who largely do whatever, he barks demands, and because it’s a movie/show, they’re always working towards the same goal and get the job done.

Nah. Delete account and then came back on a new instance. Or it’s someone that saw we, as a group, love that brand of shitposting and decided to cosplay her. Either way, it’s good shitposting and I enjoy it, so I’m glad SOMEONE is doing it again.

Aren’t we all just trolling ourselves, at some level?
I used to have an account on Today and it gets janky every once in a while and just goes down for an hour or two. I literally did the same.

Now, tell me, do you want to take my class where I teach you talk to dolphins? It’s free for the first class, but the class on pickup lines costs extra.

Not at all - I wish her luck in all her dark rituals done at 3:33AM to make Becky from HR get the shits.
- Comment on worried 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, and my friend got an ask that was honest and vulnerable, and I honestly can’t blame the girl for anything other than asking the absolute wrong guy. My friend (actually no longer a friend and this is a data point in the trend that led to more distance) knew her from grad school and immediately kink-shamed them to no end, showed people the text (which made the couple seem super legit vs. Friendo), and was generally terrible about it. We even told him to chill and just say no thanks… ugh, nope. But that’s his insecurity. Always felt bad for the couple.

I wish only the best for her in life.

- Comment on Do rich people get addicted to drugs? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, 100%. Fancy rehab clinics are there literally for this reason. The Betty Ford Clinic was a punchline for a long time as being a brand-name Hollywood-friendly rehab that specialized in keeping their client list quiet. The kids of wealthy people can and do get addicted to drugs - cocaine in college would be an easy one.
I agree that it’s entirely unrealistic that a dealer would kill a family over money. A dealer would sooner blackmail the family, or threaten to harm the kid via “some associates.” If the dealer kills the family…how would they get money? The point of leveraging fear to get paid is that 1) someone needs to remain alive and afraid of something worse so they have a reason to pay someone to stop things getting worse, and 2) sending a message that other people will see that someone needs to get paid or there will be consequences. Plus, any drug-addicted 20-something will crumple up and be totally useless in this situation, rather than get sober AND get revenge.
Just throwing an idea out there - let’s say 20-something guy has a younger sister So we have 20, Dealer, and Sister for your setup. Maybe Loved One is a family member with skills the parents don’t have. 20 owes a ton of money to Dealer. 20 goes to Dealer’s place trying to score something and is already messed up and Dealer is about to throw them out, but 20’s phone rings. It’s Sister sending a message. Dealer gets interested, steals 20’s phone, and starts to run a scam on Sister. Dealer get Sister into way deeper shit. Parents are useless and have no idea what to do, but cut off money to both of them. 20 goes looking for Sister, who is found dead from an OD. Or ODs and goes to a hospital, but is pregnant with Dealer’s baby, or mangled in a car accident where Dealer was driving and Dealer was fine - whatever you want (please don’t get too misogynistic with it). 20/Loved One goes after Dealer for revenge, but it makes more sense for 20 at minimum because we’re invested in 20. You can only add Loved One if you introduce them as somehow “better” than 20, and more skilled.
Simply getting cut off from money is a pretty trite reason to get revenge because it will seem like it’s only about money, not the emotional connection with the family. When you add the Sister as the catalyst, 20 will feel guilt over being the way that Dealer gets their hooks into a family member, the parents will be helpless, so 20 or someone else will feel the need to act since no one else can. Though, this might be a very done to death plot.

This basically happened to a friend of mine, except the girl is who asked. She just seriously wanted to get cucked and watch two dudes go at it.
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 2 weeks ago:
“Brand denies wrongdoing”
Of course. “Use is consent to the user agreement.”
They could get you to swear eternal fealty to Lord Xenu, Alien God of the Universe in the user agreement that you consent to by connecting the TV to the internet.
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 2 weeks ago:
It’s textbook rent-seeking behavior. They discount the TV $201 to undercut someone else, and make up the difference selling the ads over the life of the TV.
This is how SO many things work, it’s only surprising that it’s taken this long. If you watch YT on this fancy TV, you’re getting the same thing.

No, they saw that comment and YT went and did something that fucked invidious today.
- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I didn’t want to go the extra step and suggest that whatever a bunch of transphobes decide is “gender dysmorphia” will get people sent to a conversion gulag, but we were all thinking it, right?
- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 2 weeks ago:
I’m too old, but remember doing this planning after 9/11. (FWIW, if it didn’t happen then, it’s really likely not going to happen now, but you never know. Always good to have a plan.) Here he’s some options:
First option: conscientious objectors are still allowed. Go join a Buddhist temple (treeleaf.org is an online one). But you have to commit. Be a member in good standing, take the precepts, actually participate. Similarly, you can be exempted if you’re a priest. Do you genuinely think that aliens are angels and that the alien god Raël is our savior? Great! Start a local Ralean church and start preaching. Do it on YT! Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Perfect! We need more Pastafarians to get it legally recognized in more states.
Second option: Mental Health Disqualifications. An ADHD diagnosis CAN sometimes be enough to get a deferral (but Petey might sign a blanket waiver). Gender dysphoria as well, and with this administration, they’re so trans-phobic that seems like a slam dunk (assuming there’s no trans gulag you’ll end up at). The important part to any mental health disqualification is treatment or meds in the last 12 months (24 months maybe).
Third option: Stay in school, kids. Regular university attendance still is ground for a deferral…today at least. Grad school? PhD program? Might be worth the application fee.
Fourth option: Leaving the country. A lot of people ended up in Canada during Vietnam. Digital nomad visas are easy to get in a lot of places. An alternative to this would be Peace Corps service, which would let you defer being drafted until your service is done. You can extend up to 5 years in the same country. Also a large number of people in PC during Vietnam. Considering it survived when USAID didn’t, I’d say anyone qualified might as well start applying now as it can take up to a year to a placement.
Last option: Be the sole income earner for your family. So marry someone - anyone - and be employed, preferably in an industry that won’t go away during a draft (sorry, DoorDash isn’t going to cut it). I had a grand parent who was a welder during WWII who wasn’t drafted based on this one.

Via screenshots, but it’s also expensive and requires inter-agency cooperation. OP and their mom aren’t that important. Which isn’t a slight - no one is willing to do paperwork for this level of evidence collection for basic fraud.
