  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

I'm reading (well, listening) to a book called "Trust me, I'm Lying" about the modern news cycle, and how lies and intentional outrage at lower levels (blogs and social media) get funneled up to traditional-media, and how that is driven by people like the author.

I wouldn't be surprised if causing outrage and later deleting the tweet and following up with a half-hearted non-apology was the intent all along.

Really great book, IMO. Same guy (Ryan Holiday) had a book about the conspiracy behind the Hulk Hogan sex tape ("Conspiracy") that was also real good.

When I get bored with how long it takes to scroll through all of their fucking fraud at the speed of however fast my screen goes, that shit needs dismantled.

So follow my logic here, as it's rather complicated. If I eat the food in the fridge, there will be no more food in the fridge.

Anyway been poor has nothing to do with me spending money and everything to do with me not getting enough money. Rich people spend much more money than I do and yet they're fine, so clearly the spending of the money isn't actually the problem.

I'm going to go ahead and appropriate that for liberal use. "Used liberally", that is, not "used for Liberal politics".

2019, back in #avocadotoast days. When apparently we wasted our money on extravagances like "not the cheapest fruit/vegetables". Which wasn't even the case. We literally didn't even do that, we 100% had to eat the cheapest fruit/vegetable, if we were lucky enough that any fruit or vegetable met our budget. They were so out of touch that even their attempt to find a minor extravangance they thought we could afford to waste money on but shouldn't, was inaccessible.

eat the food that's already in the fridge

That is such a perfect crystalline out-of-touch rich-person take that it has to be a bait. Right? ...Right?
