The Brutalist Babygirl Nosferatu From Ground Zero
Memelords, Shenanigators, and Scrollars… OH MY!!
Wow. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.
Some of you know this, but I think most of you don’t - I write everything way in advance.
Depending upon what part of the task it is, I do pretty much everything a month to a year in advance.
So, by the time things get published, it’s been so long since I’ve seen them that I’m usually feeling like I’m seeing them for the first time all over again with all of you.
I had forgotten about this title meme, asking people to say hello, and wouldn’t you know it - it came up when I was having a really bad day and I needed to hear everything that all of you just said to me in the comments and in your restacks.
So I just wanted to say thank you so much.
I’ve been having a really rough time lately, and y’all made my day so much brighter.
I’m touched.
Love you guys!! <3
POV: How People React When You're An Introvert And Finally Decide To Be Social
Rumi’s Alleged Cheesy Extinction Hypothesis
The toilet paper fiasco was just as gnarly.
I honestly believe it was a test to see how normies react under those kinds of conditions, because, if you were able to utilize your creative problem solving and critical thinking abilities to find patterns and think through alternative ways to acquire toilet paper, it was easy enough to see there was absolutely no shortage.
The “shortage” was contrived to knock people off balance by making them think they could not acquire a perceived necessity so that their subsequent behaviors and thought processes could be observed.
Part of this was to study the reactions of people who would turn into emotional outliers, resorting to theft or inciting violence in order to overcome a perceived lack of a perceived necessity.
To find real above board solutions, you needed to demonstrate resilience within a particular landscape and set of parameters and come up with ways to rethink the puzzle to achieve the goal.
My house solved the problem in three minutes without leaving - and ended up with enough low priced toilet paper during the “shortage” to build a fort out of it inside the house without overbuying in stores or otherwise impacting the retail supplies of the general public.
We’ll likely see some weird behaviors happening surrounding this “lack of eggs” too.
Agreed.
And it was entirely unnecessary.
Not only is it not a necessity, but there are so many other creative, hygienic ways to overcome that hurdle that it seems outright silly to me to even have considered it a long term problem that “required” any sort of underhanded behavior in order to solve. 🙄
Like I said, we solved it in three minutes without impacting anyone else because that was something we chose to include as a factor in our solution set.
We’re not assholes.
And after we did what we did and made sure it worked, we taught it to others to protect them too.
Conversely, I do see the need to study panic if we are trying to identify solutions that prevent panic and give people ways to self-protect and protect their loved ones while avoiding harm.
But I don’t feel like that’s why it was being studied, particularly because studying people without their consent flies in the face of ethics, there is no way to get a real read on those reactions if people know they are being observed, and there was never any subsequent disclosure that this occurred despite the obvious ruse.
Nothing about the way that information was acquired sits right with me.
And given the shady nature of it, and the fact that the majority of people never put two and two together about it, we’re pretty much guaranteed to see it again.
Nothing is ever scrapped until the masses reach a tipping point in understanding what really happened.
Even if their reasoning is flawed, if their hackles are sufficiently raised, the tactic will be shelved long enough for people to forget about it.
Most tend to have the memory and pattern recognition skills of a gnat anyway.
No judgment.
Statement of fact.
If you ask them, they will tell you it’s true: They can’t remember shit, they are too inundated with stimuli to pay attention, and they have very limited experience forming their own sense of context from data points they have self-accrued.
It’s more likely to be misassembled dragon bones. We have tons of ancient dragon lore cross-culturally and zero dinosaur lore.
Also, a robust scarcity lie was required to jack up the price of oil and petroleum products in general and amplify the impact of false crises to get us to fall in line with emergency “fuel shortages” and “climate” directives, hence “fossil fuels.”
Oil is not scarce. It’s self-replenishing and occurs beneath the “fossil layer.”
It’s basically a De Beers diamond scam that somehow we still believe because we’re insanely gullible, and when it comes to pattern recognition and critical thinking skills as a culture, we are functionally retarded.
But I’m all in on the gouda.
SQUEEE!

"Root beer tastes like how Abraham Lincoln looks." Ha, when I was little my mom during kraft time would prompt: "What color is 5?" I was always adamant in my choices of colors. 100% its red. : )
