And in the future? Only a terrible silence.
This is the closest we're going to get to having our consent manufactured.
Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic
I think the ChatGPT use of “it’s not ___, it’s ___” is more distinct from human use of that phrase than people make it out to be. Because ChatGPT is always making some stupid metaphor that communicates zero information. “It’s not a drizzle, it’s a flood”
It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

The guy who was president 34 years ago is younger than the current president. That is an insane trend.
AIDS went from being a thing that elders whispered about why so and so wouldnt ever be coming around again to a thing people just take meds for on cycle like Type 2 Diabetes

Apollo has struck you with his dodgeball, as they say on tumblr
in what world is that suit tan. That's beige. I mean wars of choice in Libya and Syria, yada yada, endless needless triangulation during an effective stranglehold in power producing a compromised response to the crises of the 2000s whose consequences we live with to this day, etc. Also tan is warmer
When human beings are in a group, such that their individual will becomes part of a collective, that experience produces extraordinary sensations that are often best described in religious language. Specific details of that language become hyper-salient and extremely motivational.
This man is not a cynical grifter. This man is entirely, terribly sincere. Far better if he were a con artist, but there's no indication of that whatsoever.
The main thing is to puke my esoteric guts out. The secondary thing is to try to make sense of the situation. Some people are making money, some people think they can consolidate power over some system or another. At least one guy is convinced God is using him to start the end of the world.
It has the tone and cadence of a joke, but it's not funny, and people are dead.
