  • Easy peasy my friend. Divide and conquer. I open all the mail, sort out the garbage from the important stuff. I throw away all the chaff and bullshit, sort that into important stuff that needs attention, and important stuff that needs to be kept track of.I then throw the important stuff that needs to be held onto but requires no action, into a box with the year (or at least a year within the last 3 years) written on the side. And then every 5 years or so I throw away the old boxes.At that point, what's left is just a few pages per week that I then give to my spouse so they only have a couple of things to deal with.

    They then take those couple of pages and put them on top of the ever looming pile of toxic things that we will never dare to touch again.

    However, this pile is strategically placed so that it can't be missed, and acts as an anxiety point that drives us to do other tasks that would normally be avoided, but now seems like a nice diversion in the shadow of "the pile".

    Or at least that's the way it used to work, but now we just avoid that room completely.

  • That explains a lot. It turns out people often switch to upper case speaking numbers to me.

  • It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it

    Jump

  • Wait, you think the Saudis buying EA have anything to do with profit? EAs profits and earnings are meaningless to them.

  • Hey, autists. What's something that irritates you that absolutely nobody else/a severe minority seems to care about?

  • Also, how in the fuck are they able to "fill" the entire dishwasher with just 5 small objects, but still manage to arrange them such that the dishwasher can't get them clean? It's like they have some kind of inverse TARDIS super power that only works on dishwashers.

  • As if CO2 wasn't bad enough already? Now I have to deal with it making snarky comments about what I wore to work today?

  • Do people who have bad relationship with their parents care about "insults" like "I fucked your mom last night"? Or do you just not care?

  • I like to act like they just reminded me that she asked me to talk to them about it and then start talking about some really bizarre fetish stuff that she can't deal with anymore.

    One of my favorite ones actually got gagging noises from another person in the room. 'Look, she asked me to talk to you about the diaper thing. Hold on. Don't get upset... she's fine with you wearing them, and even fine with you "soiling" them, but she can't deal with you bringing them in "pre-soiled" anymore. It's not like it happens every time you put on a different one, but even if only 1 out 10 has an issue with cough "leakage", that's still at least 2 times per night that she has to stop and clean it up or else the smell just like never leaves the room... and anyway, she says that really kills the mood.'

  • Camelcamelcamel and keepa are both awesome, but Amazon has caught on to them and will now pull listings to leave only the higher priced listing available. Since those listings have some history and have not changed in price, it will show up as not fluctuating.

  • Black Friday

    Jump

  • I'm just the opposite, since the first time I realized that companies mark up prices on things at the end of the year just so they can "discount" them for black Friday deals has made me want to punch a lot of people.The fact that it has gotten so bad that just about everything costs more from Nov-Jan makes me want to stab some people.

  • Hallmark

  • Hallmark is the cotton candy of Christmas shows. Some people hate them, some people love them, but no matter what you feel about them it's all just mostly brightly colored empty air.If you want real cringe, then you need to make your way over to the Lifetime network. There they serve up really strong doses of Kopi Luwak (cat shit coffee).

  • Oh, I don't doubt you are correct about that. I'm not trying to say that there isn't any coordination. The GOP is definitely and completely overrun with extremists that openly work together to implement plans like project 2025. But we are also at the terminal stages of this disease and the patient is on life support.Project 2025 is a perfect example of what I am talking about. It was supposed to be a secret agenda that flopped right out into the open almost as soon as they are done writing it. In a healthy society it would have been attacked and overwhelmed from multiple directions in the same uncoordinated way that a virus or bacteria would be dealt with. But instead, the infection has reached a point where 1/3 of the nation decided that it wasn't their problem, and another 1/3 was actively helping the infection. We are at that point in the covid infection where the body is now harming itself.

  • I don’t think you need some big coordinated Illuminati-type group to explain what’s going on. It’s way more realistic to see bad actors as behaving like bacteria or viruses. They don’t sit in secret meetings plotting everything. They just act independently in ways that benefit themselves, and the harmful effects add up on their own.  Bacteria don’t plan. They find weaknesses, take advantage of them, multiply, and adapt when something stops them. They’re not masterminds. They’re just opportunistic. One person finds a loophole, another copies it, someone else builds on it, and suddenly you have a whole system bending in a bad direction without anyone actually coordinating it.

    And this is where billionaires fit in. Realistically the traits that get you to billionaire status are usually closer to aggressive mutations in an ecosystem. Not kindness or wisdom, more like: ruthlessness, willingness to exploit gaps, willingness to push harm outward while collecting gains.

    Once someone becomes a billionaire, their resources act like a multiplier. A normal bad actor is one germ. A billionaire is the same germ with unlimited food, a weakened immune system around them, and the ability to reshape the environment to favor their own growth.

    And then you get a feedback loop. The more safeguards and regulations get weakened, the easier it is for aggressive “strains” like this to emerge. Those new billionaires then use their wealth to weaken safeguards even more. Each round speeds up the next. It’s basically the same dynamic as a compromised immune system getting overwhelmed by infections that would normally be manageable.  

    But most of all, there's no way you're going to get that many extreme narcissists to work together nicely and follow some long term plan.
