why is that rational but 100% pure milk is ok?

the milk that we’re sold is for fucking cows. how much more ‘unnatural’ can you get? would you go cuddle a cow and drink from its tit?

i don’t even buy any of the dangers of artificial sweeteners. can you even create a study where someone is indulging in aspartame and also not eating/drinking one of the other 34983048304834 chemicals we’re taking in on a daily basis?

even if it is bad on some level, fruit juice is worse strictly going by sugar/calorie content unless it’s squeezed straight from the fruit, which nobody is doing, other than weirdos.

same reason america espouses freedom but then has 304830483048 laws that restrict every possible thing you can do other than go to work.

depends on what it was for lol.

way to out yourself as an unsophisticated, sheltered suburbanite.

child molester or abuser = no way

any rich people crime, like embezzling = no way

drug crimes other than crack, heroin, meth? who cares…

anything else = whatever.

rather date a murderer than a yuppie.

what’s stopping you from mailing a paper check? frontiersmen had no convenience but they made due. my great-great-great grandmother fought bears in utah with her bare hands to protect the family homestead.

i asked a capitalist to feed me when i was hungry and he laughed and told me to get a job. i replied, ‘i applied to 200 jobs in the last year’ and this smug expression settled on his face and he said, ‘try harder, fuckass.’

imagine taking food advice from an AI when it can’t taste anything.

imagine having NO SENSES. not taste, not smell, not whatever the other ones are–absolutely none of them. you can’t eat a chicken finger because you have no mouth and you’ve never existed in the 3D world we call reality.

but you’re taking advice on recipes from this AI.

billionaires consider this reasonable because they’ve never done anything for themselves. it’s reasonable to them when the butler says some outrageous shit like, 'your mom’s pussy juice would taste really good on this rare steak.

zuckerberg was in college but you know he never mingled like a normal person. if i saw that guy in real life i’d either laugh or run screaming.

i met a few people like elon musk in real life but they worked bottle return and were mentally challenged. the few times i tried to talk to one of those people they replied ‘brzoooooom’ and i pretended to understand what they were saying and dipped out.

bernie kinda misses the essence of american culture.

a bum on welfare is a freeloader because they take and take and contribute nothing.

what has this guy, sergey, actually contributed to america? we had 34830483048 search engines before google came around.

when your money makes money you contribute nothing other than offerings to the abstract concept of ‘the economy.’

it’s genuinely satanic when you really think about it. we’re sacrificing real human lives to ‘the economy.’

john berger opened my eyes to this.

in “ways of seeing” he lays out a convincing argument that the entire history of european oil painting was just annoying and lame rich people commissioning artists to paint their possessions and property. the ‘masters’ were exceptions to this rule and often painted these great works later in life. in the modern day we’re taught to see these paintings not as what they actually are, but as rare objects worthy of praise simply for being rare objects.

when you see it that way and draw parallels between modern instagram, you both realize how fucking annoying, stupid, pathetic and desperate for validation wealthy people are but that nothing has changed other than the setting; instead of one of a kind oil paintings they foist NTFs on us.

hey, man. i’m a gen-xer drinking lime beer and watching 90s general hospital episodes on youtube.

lemme lay it down for you, youngin’.

pokeman is lame. memes are lame. drinking alcoholic beverages without alcohol is lame. naming an alcoholic beverage without alcohol a ‘mocktail’ is lame.

your entire generation is composed of 90% plastic from soda bottles and the other 10% is from social media propaganda. you don’t want to poison yourselves lol.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

any questions?

his avatar is sad.

it’s obviously a metaphor for his dick and sexual prowess but he obviously can’t get laid and never satisfies any of the women he pays to be around him.

imagine being the richest man in the world and posting on twitter all day.

that says something about humanity or elon musk–probably both.

drawing attention to that is cool, i guess, but doesn’t shed light on the underlying issue.

america loves victim blaming the individual rather than ever admitting that there’s some kind of issue with the system or wealthy people.

every single house in america could be built on the edge of a cliff prone to landslides and someone would always come out of the woodwork to act like it’s your own fault you bought it.

‘shoulda lived in a shopping cart.’

these people always look like out of touch assholes lol.

i doubt we have even one working class person left in a position of power.

even the last name langley is telling. i went to american public schools and you’d rarely if ever encounter anyone with a unique last name unless they were hella ethnic, even if that meant french canadian or italian.

the rise of the nepo baby last name.

i’m a painter who doesn’t paint. i’m a writer who doesn’t write.

what do you actually do, says the skeptic.

i’m a prompt artisan, says the creator of this ‘art.’

so, you just type text into a box?

yes.

but when i type artist into google it spits me back this definition: "a person who creates art, such as painting, writing, music, or sculpture, using conscious skill and creative imagination.’ you aren’t creating anything–the AI is the creator. at best, you’re just influencing what they create with words.

whatever.

so, if i fuck an artist and tell him that his song would be better in B minor, then i’m a creator?

whatever.

why do we need remasters before the next installment of a game?

between super mario 64 and super mario world we got super mario rpg. nowadays we have to wait until 12 of our daughters get married to play a new title in the series when we started playing the game in elementary school.

would it have really killed the gta/fallout franchise owners to spend a few bucks to create a half-assed in between title? they would have generated massive income even if those games sucked.

I’m tired of having to learn new things/words just to have some function in society.

How about this: smashilization.

It’s for when I hulk out over annoying bullshit that no dog would put up with but humans are supposed to put with just because some rich person said we have to even though they wouldn’t be able to put with it for more than 30 minutes without crying.

nothing to brag about.

being horny is a boomer thing.

i guess that explains the lack of sex and passion in media.

i wonder what the cultural vibe is in countries that view art with reverence.

people in america aren’t looking at the bigger picture–this country has NEVER cared about art or artists.

is jazz on pop radio? does your average american give a shit about impressionism or even know what the fuck it is?

so, why would they care about the average novelist? does your typical american even fucking read?

that’s not true. they may keep an extra front-end employee on hand to ensure they have enough employees to cover cart retrieval.

these days, supermarkets chug along with a bare-bones staff compared to 20 years ago.

back then it would have been unheard of to make any customer wait in line for more than a few minutes , but now it’s the norm.

give it 5-10 years, and it’ll be customary for customers to return their carts unless they want the parking lot to be a postapocalyptic free for all.

and the scary thing is that people will just accept and adapt based on the tropes of american culture… discourse will change from this argument to ‘if you didn’t want your car to be dinged then you shoulda returned all the carts within 2 miles.’

gen-z and alpha don’t know anything about computers.

frankly, i have no idea how anything is even maintained. it’s probably on the backs of millions of first and second-gen immigrants.

some of these dumbasses i work with can’t even navigate basic windows features–and these are college bound young adults.
