that just sounds like a normal greeting

“Heeey Smart People!” – fuck off with that red vs blue bullshit

You’ve been sold a lie. There’s no “Bri’ish” or “Caw blimey guvna”. These are people from the UK who go abroad, suddenly get way more attention for their (slight) accent than they ever did back at home, and play to the popularity by Flanderizing themselves to appeal more to their foreign audience.

Any english/irish/scottish accent you hear on a mainstream TV show is not representative of the general population. Example: the BBC news accent is about as representative of the UK population as the 1950s MidWestern Radio accent was representative of the US population. It’s a caricature that everyone but a foreign audience just mentally tunes out

Or those who make appeals to the self-obsessed. There’s a youtube channel (that keep appearing in my home despite me telling youtube repeatedly that I’m not interested), that starts off every short with “Heey Smart People”.

It’s just the idea of “us” (the smart) vs “them” (the implied dumb) that grinds me because in my experience the difference between these two groups isn’t very big, but people (mostly young adults) really lean into it for reasons of exclusion, fashion, and just general hatred of a strawman.

When I’m feeling what I can only describe as ‘general despair at the state of things’ (weltschmerz?) I have to admit that Babylon Zoo’s Spaceman does a great job in vocalising what I feel.

She’s in love with herself…
She likes the dark…

Shower in the dark day, clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterways, where the baptized drown…

;-)

I guess I’m talking about now. Yeah it’s interference prone, but when the signal is good, ota amazing

sounds like a Lego builder

some series did something like this, right?

Dicks fuck assholes, chuck. You know what’d happen if dicks didn’t fuck assholes? You’d get your dicks and pussies all covered in sheeyet.

Dude I’m worried that the Participatory Anthropic Universe is real.

Maybe this is all a consistent hallucination we willed into existence based on our interactions with each other

saw a man lying on the street
someone’s chopped off his head
and I’m the only one who stops
to see if he’s dead…

I am from Bosnia. My mother watches TV all day but signal bad. I get work visa, go to America. Declare my love for President. Rise up in ranks of conservative society. Marry tradwife, have kids. High paying job in telecommunications. One day I stay late and pull out central signal cable from entire NY comms hub. NY goes dark. Fly back to Bosnia with cable, plug into mothers TV. She has good signal now.

can’t workout if you’re genuine, or in mock agreement

you’re asking me for a level of foresight that is simply not possible

HD piracy on demand is not that easy. Even popcorn time at its peak would suffer buffering if the media wasn’t popular enough
