hypothesis: friendship is not shelf stable, but alliances are, to a degree. thats what you get in school, at work, in big fast-moving internet chats: alliances.

hypothesis: if your idea of friendship *requires* the ability to go long periods of time without risk of discomfort: those are bad friends.

hypothesis: if you've only ever had allianceships, then a capitalist dystopia is weirdly alluring. if you've only ever made friends at work, then the idea of making everyone your coworker sure sounds good.

hypothesis: this is why billionaires are so fucking boring

wow, amazon really doesn't want to sell books. they're going out of their way to make these things unreadable on any half-decent reading apps. someone should like, make them pay a lot of money every time they fuck up a perfectly good epub like that. charge them the same way you'd charge if they were physically demolishing libraries. honestly do that to google whenever they put slop in the search results, too.

Chevron gas is experimenting with new and innovative ways to waste my time. The most expensive gas option glows and pulses like in a bad mobile game, by the way.

the "ADA" button moves the other controls to the bottom. the "weather" button replaces *one* of the ads with the weather. #fuckchevron #boringdystopia

"we've got samsung and spam, we've got spam and moto, we've got spam apple music and spam"

"but i don't like spam"

"wellll, you could get a pixel phone and spam, its not got much spam in it"

"but i don't want any spam at all!!"

"i'll take your spam, i love spam! i'm getting spam spam LG spam and spam!"

"LG is off."

"can i get a spam instead of the LG?"

"ohhhh, so you want spam spam spam spam..."

<the song "NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A" by Toby Fox begins to play, getting louder as the audience chants "spam. spam. sPAM. SPAM. SPAM.">

The #boringDystopia:

Your #poverty is our #marketing gimmick

'#MaxwellHouse #coffee, a 133-year-old brand, recently launched a marketing campaign rebranding themselves as “Maxwell Apartment Coffee”

“Maxwell House? In this economy?” a narrator asks in a video ad, promising that Maxwell Apartment is “the same affordable coffee you love, now with an even more affordable name”

The company is also offering a year’s supply of its coffee for “under $40”… “12-month lease”'

The longer I’m in the workforce the more I’m convinced that 90% of supposed genius is misinterpreted survivorship bias.
