A Beautiful Depression, folks

I told you man!

As I believe the band Semisonic once said about ouroboros diarrhea, “Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end”

If you put them all together they eventually spell a slur.

But he said so himself! He even twirled where his mustache would be if he could grow one!

Guess they don’t remember accutane. That’s a fun list of side effects right there.

I have a feeling it’ll come roaring back under RFK jr.

Put out the nice doormat.

Not so fun when you’re the ones being pumped and dumped

They yearn for the mines

They also won’t cover 3 out of 4 tires getting slashed but that’s neither here nor there.

To add on: it has to be coded correctly for insurance. A “yearly physical” is its own special thing which does not require a copay, and if coded correctly covers like a basic metabolic panel, lipid panel, maybe something less common if family history suggests it. It has to be billed as a “preventative service” for something on this list of what falls under the “free” stuff, if you don’t want a nasty bill. I know a full lab workup for me is billed at around $1600 before insurance, and a primary care visit would be around $300.

Because it’s hard to snap out of a k-hole when you gotta keep rolling.

This “new phone every year” is the worst consumer crapfest we have going. AI features feel like clutching at straws when seemingly everyone hates the battery life on every single phone. Slap a larger battery in there? Well now you get shit AI that burns whatever extra capacity was gained. I can’t name a single quality on an iPhone model from the last 6 years that I truly wanted, other than the size of my 13 mini. It works fine and it fits in my pocket. Now make one that stays on for a full 24 hours and doesn’t need a battery replacement every 2 years.

Here come the “ask it about Tiananmen Square” comments from your alcoholic uncle in his pit vipers

It’s always at the bottom or top right where you’d step off and you just watch the person’s shoe suddenly disappear, and then they disappear. I believe it’s a shoelace or loose/flexible shoes that get pulled into the machinery and belts where the surface flattens out and goes back under the floor.

Yeah so funnily enough I just checked IG reels and saw one where about four people get shot. There was a “sensitive content” screen over it but that’s it. Postmodern complaint: I’m just glad it wasn’t someone getting sucked into an escalator, those are freaky.

I’m in the same boat, bought a Samsung 40-something-inch smart tv for around $300 maybe 6 years ago off the neglected “small TV” aisle. It has some bloatware, but it’s never been an issue after configuring a few settings. I’m guessing if I went for one of the floor models, it’d have been a problem.

ICE can get Electro-Gonorrhea: the noisy killer

Emulators are your friend. Hoarders, graders, and scalpers can go suck a railroad spike.
