    No no no, it’s not an issue at all!

    It’s Working As Intended* as in there’s a demand (guaranteed by schools) so we charge whatever the fuck we want! Supply is also high? Following supply and demand as theory is for chumps! Supply and demand theory is for us to use as we see fit and to ignore the aspects we don’t like!



  • I’ve been on dating sites for over 10 years now. The most “likes” I’ve ever had was 17.

    Not even matching. That number is like 6 over 10 years…

    I’m quite literally an absolute joke of a human though. I’m the exact person people joke about as being the worst kind of person: I’m a (guy) homebody who likes to smoke, play videogames, and garden. I’m fit but not muscular, short, balding, and not a fan of dogs or travel (way too expensive). I’m literally worse than Hitler to almost all women.

    Unfortunately the only people who have ever swiped on me except for those 6 I mentioned look like honey booboos mom, have kids, and dogs.


  • I don’t exactly subscribe to the conspiracy but I can understand it as it’s related to “planned obsolescence.” Companies don’t want to sell you a quality product that will last “forever” they want to sell you something that’s just good enough to work for a bit, but will absolutely break or be replaced very soon so you become a repeat customer as opposed to a one time customer.

    The same logic applies here with the medication, why would they sell something once even if there were new future customers, if they could instead have everyone on a “subscription” of sorts?

    The conspiracy exists because we see it play out in every other facet of our society/economy. Everything is becoming a subscription, you don’t own anything, every product a corporation makes is almost complete garbage, etc… I’m not sure I believe it 100% but I wouldn’t in the slightest bit be surprised to find out that actually was the case.

    I appreciate you sharing it anyway as it’s partially a mirror of myself honestly: apple retail (like 15 years ago) weed and all lol. Maybe I should consider seeking an adhd diagnosis as well.

    Hope everything continues on this positive trend for you!

    Electrons are the currency of exchange between atoms essentially, except when they make a transaction they’re “bound” (not by a contract even though I want to say that to continue the metaphor lol) to one another.

    The giving or receiving of an electron can cause a large release of energy so when Na is on its own it has the capacity to make a transaction that will result in some release of energy, if the transaction is already completed (as in salt) then the capacity to react is reduced greatly as the available electrons are now being “used.”

    In the case of Cl, as with other elements like Arsenic, they can react with molecules in your body that really needed a different atom to fit, but Cl is also able to take that space. Since it wasn’t the atom that was needed for that bodily function it can cause issues (death) as it won’t be working “as intended.”

    I’m not an expert, just an idiot factory worker, but pretty much all reactions are the interaction of electrons between atoms.






  • My friend really needs to learn about this. He works for Intel and does some really involved stuff, I on the other hand am a moronic jackass factory worker.

    No friend, I haven’t the slightest idea what you’re trying to tell me you did if you keep using technical terms.



  • I can’t wait for this to spread to unrelated areas!

    Supermarkets maximizing profit: put ads everywhere and hide the most commonly bought foods!

    Gas stations maximizing profits: unskippable ads on all pumps, plus the pump stops halfway to make you watch another ad.

    Dating apps: oh… They already killed themselves. Swipe swipe swipe swipe. Hide messages. Hide likes. Reduse exposure to profile unless paid member.

    I hate this future.






  • I’m in a similar position, but I think I’m still working through “coming to terms” with my “situation.”

    It’s definitely depressing as I’ve only had 2 real goals in life: be in a loving relationship, and own a home. Both of those are proving to be exceedingly unlikely to happen the older I get.
