just started looking for a new job for the first time since around 2008… am i correct to assume that absolutely NOTHING is real any more? not just craigslist (which is funny to think i’m looking for a job there to begin with, but fuck i’ve checked everything). i’ve sent out so many resumes, and i think it’s all just fake posts collecting data. how does anyone apply for a fucking job these days? i can’t even find reputable postings for call centers any more.
HEY! every once in a while it feels, like, kinda special and directed at me. so doesn’t that mean that - aside from all the times it doesn’t - the world was created just for me, in “my image”?

I scored a bunch of used SSDs from my old work that were out in the dumpster. Company was fine with tech dumpster diving back then. Now I can do full installs and really see what they do on my potato :)
Elon lied about the monkeys — and he shouldn't be trusted to put his Neuralink chips in human brains.
"They are claiming they are going to put a safe device on the market, and that's why you should invest," Ryan Merkley at the Physicians Committee, told Wired. "And we see his lie as a way to whitewash what happened in these exploratory studies."
Really heartbreaking reading what happened to the monkeys.
People quite rightly think of Elizabeth Holmes as a fraud for making false medical claims about what the Theranos machines could do. So why aren't Elon's claims at Neuralink being held to the same level of scrutiny?
Unfortunately, these experiments are being performed by people who know EXACTLY what they’re doing. We’re not in the 1940s any more. Fucking hell. If I had the personal power, I’d gladly rain holy hellfire upon these wholly inexcusable, inexorable, inexcrimentinable human fecal chunks.
I have recently started university and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy, for the dining plan, when it would literally work perfectly fine using your student ID and ordering to a real cashier, LIKE HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE FOR...
not a stupid question, and the answer is yes! potatoes are really resilient. you can reproduce them by cutting off and planting their ‘eyes’ (sorry, that’s the word for it - eww), and they also contain a ton of energy that lets them reach out like something from a nightmare.
i once forgot about a bag of potatoes i bought and left under the kitchen sink for a while. it was like a scene from a Cronenberg movie when i found it

thank you for the advice. i have an eccentric nut as well, so I'm excited to learn that it might help to finger my gantry a little bit. and I'll definitely make sure my next purchase is a double ender.

Side note, does it count as a shower thought when it was conceived while sitting on the toilet? Do we have toilet-sitting-thoughts communities?

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

PSA: I should have checked my nuts.
