Sometimes I can't tell whether I'm actually suffering or God and I are doing a comedy bit together and he's just taking it too far as usual.
Good morning nodes! Would anyone like a little drawing of themself as a peen? https://firecow.cafe/media/ZG0YH_KxhhDzkvBH5zo
@twitter I used to run a Facebook group where you were only allowed one post per week. It was actually awesome and I want to do an instance like that.

@walruslifestyle I think of modern economics as this elaborate fantasy world, like fully worked out by a team of con-langers, video game physics designers, etc. It all works (I presume), but only in the context of a dramatic side-step away from reality.
@walruslifestyle I think it's a misnomer to talk about "selling" when you don't have a surplus. That is, it's hard for me to see what the word is talking about if it doesn't take place in a genuine market. Sales are things that happen in markets. And when one of two parties must acquire what the other has in order to live, and the other recognizes and exploits this need, that's not a market. It's more like serfdom. I don't know, I might have this all wrong.
The sale is for the shoes. They are baby-sized. They are new. The baby, in its bare feet, draws a line on your paper money with a marker intended to discover counterfeit currency.
The baby's tiny toes are like claws. Its soles rasp on the ground when it walks. These are uncivilized feet, and free.
More free than you, with your money and your horrifying tentacle feet, each one in agony on the hot ground, each sucker-covered appendage in desperate need of shoes, sized to human babies, as no one makes shoes for your kind, ancient as you are... no one who still lives or could be considered sane.

Went on my first date with the ODDLY SHAPED STONE. I can already tell I would have to carry all the weight in this relationship. Not surprised, just disappointed.
this was a good toot
Whenever I make a good decision, however small, I enthusiastically congratulate myself, like a self-development web service smarmily greeting a new user.
@batterpunts I'm suspicious of "highly poetic." I do not enjoy anything remotely "purple"
@batterpunts hmmmmmmmm I like some of those things, sometimes!
@batterpunts no, should I be?
why is the fave/boost ratio so small on here
Saturday night. A dull hum emanates from the world outside, which is entirely controlled and occupied by murderous nanobots and which you are trying to ignore. You take another swig of your Long Island iced tea (as you've started calling the acidic juice that you have to drink once an hour to keep up the information-jamming aura around your body that keeps death at bay).
You haven't rewatched every episode of The Simpsons in a couple decades. Maybe it's time.
infinite mathematicians enter a bar. the first orders a pint of beer, the second orders half a pint. the third orders a quarter pint, and the bartender cuts them off there and just pours them two pints
after a time the mathematicians indicate they're ready for another round. as before, the first one orders a pint and the second orders a half. when the third orders a third of a pint the bartender says "actually i think you've all had enough for tonight"
roses are red
violets are blue
in surveillance capitalism
poem reads you
and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops
it cares not about
if privacy's harmed
the money is green
when people are farmed
twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you
@rumen I should hope that ours would be *ahem* better maintained!
