Infotainment media is mental illness itself, compulsive and addicted, with no memory retention nor ethical compass, it amplifies what is worst in man, it FEEDS it.
And that’s not even considering enemy propaganda from china and russia infiltrating itself into peoples minds, trying to destabilize democracies.
Fuck your sociopathic industry, what you made it into.
Sauerkraut acidhead… sounds like any of the members of Can, Amon Düül or Neu!
I’d like to try that on a crunchy baguette.
This one might be a little different.
I eat only once a day, but it’s a big one, right before bed.
When I order takeout from… say my favorite burger place in town, usually a double cheeseburger, I ask that they apply no mayo, mustard nor ketchup, as I will reheat it all on the air fryer/toaster oven then apply condiments, don’t want the bread to be getting soggy for hours before dinner.
I also tell them to put the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on the side, for the same reason. I bring my own reusable containers for the separate things, to create no plastic/styrofoam waste. That includes tiny ones for the dressing and for the runny cheese for the fries.
Which reminds me of the fries - back home, hours later, I will refry them for a minute or two, they come out almost as good as new.
But this all being home, I can also play around with the burger. Such as stuffing it with a full onion, thinly sliced and caramelized on low heat with olive oil, pepper and a dash of Lawry’s seasoned salt. Maybe also sliced mushrooms sautéed in butter. I’ll also add a few extra slices of yellow heirloom tomato.
One last thing: while the onions are caramelizing on the toaster oven, I’ll also put another tray with a handful of asparagus in olive oil, pepper and garlic salt.
Like a friend described it, I like tuning the burger!
As in “car tuning”, custom burger mods.
“We have done it, Assurnipal my friend. Now we sit back and wait until someone invents the internal combustion engine.”
Because the thing you want, is to keep these shitheads living in your head 24/7.
“I remember back in the day when I squirted JUST LIKE THAT.”
This is 'Murica, needs more GUN!
Relaxes stressfully
We need to make up a new similar-but-different word, to get rid of the oxymoron. Going through the motions of superficially relaxing could be stated as:
Relaxifies stressfully
Might as well have slapped an “A.I.-powered for your convenience and safety” sign on those doors, while they’re going through the mindless bullshit motions.
Adapt.
Improvise.
Overcome.
Microplastics.
Allowing your mother to put all of her fears into you? Good girl, here’s your reward: (nothing)
When our classmate stood at the front and read it from a piece of paper the following day, we were all already tuned out of that class for the rest of the semester, I wasn’t paying attention. In fact, I might be remembering the name wrong, I can’t be certain.
This one is a little different. On the first week of some college introductory economics class, the teacher was basically just reading from the textbook we all had, some historical figure who was a member of the “Council Of Seven” or something like that, when a student raised her hand - “Ma’am, what was the Council Of Seven?” - the teacher paused, and said - “Can you bring it tomorrow, as assignment?” - and actually giggled. This was in the 90s, pre-internet, looking up something like that was not a trivial task.
The teacher might have thought she was being cute and/or deflected her own shortcomings, but the actual effect was that we immediately lost all respect and trust for her, no one ever raised a hand again in her class, we all immediately went into rote robot mode for the rest of the semester, disengaged on a gut level.
A fertility ceremonial, got it!
What are the options for someone watching on a Roku or Firestick?
That’s actually quite an interestingly accurate one, considering that something like 95% of Egyptians live near the Nile River, and anywhere that is NOT near the Nile is desert wasteland.
Other accurate analogies would be anywhere in Canada that is NOT near its’ southern border, or nearly anywhere/everywhere in inland Australia, they call it the Outback for a reason.
I’ve been calling it that for eight years now. Give or take.
The average USA voter has already given hitler the keys to the kingdom.
In 2016, the battleground state non-voter empowered the goose-steppers and crippled everyone’s future.
In 2024, the average USA non-voter ignored every single alarm bell going full blast and destroyed any hope for that future.
And still the average USA non-voter sits, twiddling their thumbs, waiting to be catered to, to be dazzled. Waiting for their own version of a messiah with a magic political wand, too lazy, ignorant to the point of medieval, and impatient to even begin and try to understand the principle of inertia, how political will builds up over time and several election cycles.
The right-wing propaganda trick is to get people to NOT do what they didn’t want to do in the first place - homework is boring, voting is lame, amirite?
After a quarter of a century of having hope in the eventual decency of the USA electorate, the entire world has given up on them, as moscow and beijing salivate like hungry rats about to feast on a carcass. Now it’s every man for himself.
The average non-voter must be very proud; must feel very special right about now. Congratulations.
