Are you being used like a host to a parasite?


I, for one, have been exploited for my labor, and I think it's time we change it.



i hope this does not lack class, but let's discuss the uglies, do you get paid a wage? do you live off of dividends? do you own property and collect rent? How do you make a living?

if you do drugs you should be put into a small, confined space that you can't voluntarily leave, owned by someone who gets to charge the government for keeping you there

the worst part about being arrested on acid isn't the soul eating anxiety on the way to the police station. it's the inevitability that the stupid fucks will throw you in the drunk tank because reasons and drunk people are loving obnoxious as hell and you get to ride out your huge anxiety attack with belligerent dipshit frat bros and career alcoholics. there is nothing more annoying than drunk people when you're tripping.

my research is taxpayer funded and seeks novel ways of sequestering CO2 with radiolysis, which if successful, would help keep our civilization sustainable for a little while longer



deep down i'm not sure if it's the right thing to do though

honestly the right thing to do would be to focus all efforts on developing advanced space travel

thereafter we can flip a collective middle finger to earth and completely trash it, making it unsustainable for any kind of advanced life beyond archaebacteria or whatever. Maybe not even them.

then we use our fancy shiny space ships to travel from galaxy to galaxy, looking for sentient life forms.

when we find any, we drop down, say "hey we come in peace!" and over the course of some decades trash their planet into unliveability too.

repeat the process until the heat death of the universe. we can be the universal deadbeat brother who shows up swearing they've gotten clean until the inevitable "oh well, there goes the security deposit..." moment

but instead of a cheeky sitcom moment, it's basically genocide and ecological destruction on an unfathomable scale. all performed for the sake of contrarianism. could there ever be anything more human?

if you won't live to see it, what difference does it make, really, if our species makes through the anthropocene, is consumed by the sun or ultimately the long dark cold freeze?

gently caress non-human animals they suck huge johnsons.

the only fucks on this planet worthy of even being alive are octopuses and that's only if they develop longer lifespans to put their advanced learning capabilities to use.

everything else can loving die in our cloud of miasmic superbacteria infested radiocative soot clouds loving bitch rear end animals can't do poo poo aint worth poo poo.

cause its the only way to mark ourselves on the universe while it lasts. i mean alternatively i guess we could carve literally every single planet into the likeness of a human skull and glass them all but that honestly would require more effort. to go with my plan all we really need to do is travel places and just be ourselves and before you know it, vast ecological destruction and passive aggressive genocide will already be underway.

hey when living under the bootheel of capitalism has you down, never forget how far we've come

used to be 150,000 or so years ago it was a very real and common occurrence that you'd wake up and find all the adult men in your family torn limb from limb, all of your food stores missing and the unmistakable sound of the other ones from across the plain hooting and hollering and beating on things to a rhythm and god you're so hungry...

i used to think of this whenever working my retail job and it really makes a difference in what you're depressed about... I could have been those other ones....

I've been trying to think of ways to usurp the bosses and take ownership of the company into the hands of the employees who actually work, but I have a suspicion that there's some dark secret like they've pulled some shell game to illegally obtain funding or we're being sued or the company has some insane debts or something and it would only be shooting ourselves in the foot to own the goddamn thing.
