Ok, that’s cool and good. Sad LSD wasn’t one of them though

Any reason a flow sensor wouldn’t work?

Aww but the kitty was the best part of my stay there

It is his people’s day

Yeah they’re super easy to pick and they all have the same key. It’s intentional to ensure cops can get out of them and any cop can let anyone out.

This can and has been utilized at riots in the past

So it’s going to be rerouted from the MRIs I take it…

Yeah anonymity and pseudonymity have been stolen from us IRL in a lot of cases and we shouldn’t cede them online. We should also take them back irl. Go lie about who you are to someone you meet.

Yep, for more information on that read Debt: the First 5000 Years, it goes pretty deep into it from both anthropological and political perspectives

Ah well I hear it’s very difficult so I assume the only people who do it are those who really want it

Welcome and go fuck yourself /s

Have you considered freeing yourself from desire?

Spez is also into whatever ideology is popular among the tech rich of Silicon Valley at any given time. Right now that’s technofascism

Prison guards are way too comfortable torturing people

It’s a new idea being floated by the medical experts of the Sackler family.

I’ve been offered free blow before, but never by a dealer, just a generous person who was doing bumps

There’s a portion of delusional people who dedicate all their time and energy to their delusions. The deeper they get in the less they can focus on the world outside and the more they alienate people outside of their delusions. They lose interest in holding down a job, they stop spending time on hobbies, they no longer spend time with friends that aren’t in the delusion, and it just spirals because that’s all they’re thinking of and it takes up all their time. And if they find a space like that they wind up yes anding each other.

I have to use them professionally. That’s why I got one in a different color from everyone else. Ok really it’s that my old boss’s boss had one a different color from everyone else and I didn’t like the guy so I decided to be different too knowing that’s exactly the kind of crap that gets under his skin. But also it’s nice to have everyone know when you’re the one laser pointing

Yeah, all this is illegal not because it’s an infinite money glitch, but because it acts like it is while destabilizing the economy

Isn’t the opposite of a short just buying stock/commodities? Maybe buying them on credit if you want to get 1920s with it

Deviation from social expectations can be attractive as can novelty. Fetishization of a group is often associated with the group being perceived as exotic and possibly even taboo. And there are a lot of people who when they feel shame about their desires lash out against those they desire. The sort of guy who feels the need to tell everyone he’s not into fat chicks? Yeah he’s getting rejected by them in secret.

Your example is someone you personally hate because Gary fucking sucks. But if there were a group of Garys who were just a bit different that you were always told not to interact with because they’re bad despite the fact that they all seem perfectly nice if a bit odd. Well a certain portion of your community would find themselves torn between the excitement of the exotic (hell you don’t see a Gary every day, and you usually have to go to a certain part of town to see one) and the expectations of not interacting with them, and this would lead to shame and anger, because to an unexamined and immature person these Garys are seducing them, tempting them away from what they know to be the rightful separation of good normal people and Garys. This is even worse if anyone could turn out to have always been a Gary. Maybe some of those people are afraid they might be a Gary but are afraid to even think about it enough to discount it. So they may start calling to ensure there’s no chance of them accidentally running into a Gary and making sure nobody becomes a Gary hoping that that will keep them safe and maybe even punish the Garys who did this to them.
