I wish there were some contemporary-ish milfic that wasn’t written like a Tom Clancy book. If I weren’t so lazy I’d write it myself. But I won’t, because see above.

I think this is pretty much perfect & basically Boomers played on a pre-release patch in which your ingame currency rewards for simple actions were absurdly generous compared to the grind needed today. They’re like “just do your daily quests, shake the manager’s hand.”

Good analogy. Boomers (especially white ones) played with the difficulty set on “Super Easy” and now are tetchy that others get upset that newer generations are forced to play on “Ultra Hard” mode. They don’t realize, despite being told a million times, that the difficulty level has changed at all. “Just beat the street, show up and demand a job” is their advice. Ok, boomer, good way to get arrested for harassment and trespassing.

Lift weights. That kinda shit happens a lot less often then.

And people say neoliberalism isn’t real, but it’s managed to insert itself into our very psyches at a deep, perhaps ineradicable, level. There is no greater evidence than this absolutely sterile, Taylorist clincal interaction with a friend.

Anyone who speaks with you or about you this way is not your friend. Perhaps you are one another’s co-widgets, but definitely not friends. It sounds more transactional than most office conversations I’ve had.

Perhaps the hell world we’ve created deserves to be cleansed.

Devastated to read that Sydney University has decided not to fill the Chair of Australian Literature until a sponsor pays for it. This is one of two [!] dedicated chairs of Australian Literature in this country, both of which are now empty. #austlit https://t.co/SppphoqVGV

The destruction and diminution is imperative for the neoliberal project to succeed. If there is no non-corporate media, there is no critique. No critique, and it’s harder for society to reject the neoliberal order. Partially this is desperation. Partially it is as near as conspiracy as one can get without actual meetings of cabals and the like — just the rich and the powerful looking out for themselves.

Vegans and vegetarians are almost always physically weaker looking and sickly

no lean body mass and low energy

And when they do gain weight, they have immense abdominal obesity

Skinny fat basically https://t.co/pOLdHyVmod

Indeed. It is possible to be a vegetarian (but not a vegan) and not appear to be ever on the verge of death, but it takes careful diet management. While being a vegan it’s basically impossible. Every vegan I’ve ever seen looked corpse-like and had poor muscularity. The only exceptions are people who had recently become vegan or who cheated frequently.

I messaged a friend a few weeks ago that since it looked like Biden would be a bust, the establishment was likely to get behind Buttigieg. Alas, it seems that I was correct.

I usually like being right. Not this time. That vapid, vacant piece of shit shouldn’t be assistant manager of a fucking McDonald’s (as that job actually take skill and savvy), and might actually be worse than Biden.

This is the immense power of propaganda. It can change the way people think and feel about something without their even having a conceptual framework for why they experience those thoughts and feelings. https://t.co/v8Xh6BRtVb

This is how propaganda works best. Low- to no-facts people (which most are) steered into mood affiliation with a pervasive, low-level but constant effort over a fairly long time (2-3 years at least).

It’s also why I have doubts the so-called Russian propaganda in the West did much. There just was not much of it relative to the volume of other messages, it wasn’t well-targeted, and didn’t last long enough.
