Oh the organization that called government torture “enhanced interrogation”.

The APA could be fire bombed, and I would have a flat affect.

Getting a strong antivax vibe from this comment even though I have no clue what you’re talking about. Care to explain enhanced interrogation for me please?

I don’t know the exact connection to tbe APA (they probably made a statement?), but “enhanced interrogation techniques” is what the Bush 2 administration called the torture they used on prisoners during the War on Terror & Iraq War.

Ever notice that the only people who relentlessly seek out immortality are the absurdly wealthy who already live a life of the entire world being at their beck and call for every whim?

The rest of us get tired of licking the shoe leather and are all like, “It’s my time? Phew! Finally!”

It is very real but journalism hasn’t quite evolved to state facts yet. They’re still at the gaslighting stage of making us think our unhappiness is the result of our own poor choices and shortcomings, and that everyone else is happy except for us.

It’s fucked up how perfect this satire is. I honestly immediately believed it without question, which is a terrible sign.

We’ve reached some kind of milestone where satire and reality have converged to a single line. Also, the cover photo of a bunch of smiling professionals is the real chef’s kiss.
