This might be a little dramatic but every time I am forced to watch a commercial on a streaming app to which I pay a monthly fee I want to blow up the entire earth.

Let Me Tell You About the Time I Went to Whole Foods Jail — Aaron Hertzog There I was, minding my own business in line for the self-checkout at my local Whole Foods Market when I felt a tap on my shoulder. My entire body went cold. This was it. I had finally been caught.

“Please, tell me! Where is your bathroom? This is an emergency!” I begged, clearly ready to have a bad time right there in the aisle of the store, which would, of course, spread the bad times to everyone else.

With my large, fold-top container leaking from its seams, I set my master plan into motion. The plan that has worked so many times before, in so many Whole Foods Markets before this. I started frantically walking the aisles of the store, a panicked look on my face.

They must have me on camera, filling up a container from the hot food bar with prepared organic delights the likes of which I could never afford. Stacking salmon on top of mac and cheese, adjacent to some za’atar vegetables, rubbing elbows with a medley of orange chicken and tikka masala.

My daughter loves to watch me work out which is cool and motivating cause after each set I tell HER “great job” like she just lifted all that damn weight.

UPDATE: the roll also includes a token from McDonald’s palace park, Irvine ca.

A roll of quarters I got from the bank had six rupees and a token from Chuck E. Cheese in it. Before I go yell at the bank I need to figure out the American dollar value of six rupees and a token from Chuck E. Cheese.

The point of every gaming ad is to play the game terribly in order to frustrate people to make them want to play the game themselves in some kind of weird psychological manipulation in which the person watching the ad knows they are being manipulated but still feels a pull to play the game. Right?

Have You Heard That the New Way to Get Famous Sucks? — Aaron Hertzog Anybody can become famous now. But also, anybody can become famous now.

READ THE REST HERE

This also leads to the amplification of extreme and dangerous ideas, as nihilistic opportunists who don’t care about anything other than their own fortune will say anything to gain and retain an audience.

We’ve created a new type of celebrity who has absolutely no shame. They don’t care about anything other than being famous, and they don’t care how they achieve it. What’s the point of being rich and famous if you don’t also enjoy the spoils (living your life! doing cool shit!)

In reality it has led us down a path to where the most extreme shocking loudest voices with the dumbest ideas get boosted by the algorithm into our feeds and our brains accept them as being worthy of attention because of how we’ve been programmed.

In theory, the internet has made it possible for anybody anywhere regardless of their status or connections to become “famous.” In some cases this has given opportunity to talented and unique individuals who might never have been discovered previously.

Every once in a while, my social media and news feeds will get taken over by Some New Guy. That’s how I know that I am washed; if I weren’t, I’d be more connected to the places from which these New Guys emerge, and their sudden rise to fame wouldn’t seem so out of the blue.

i'm so mad that i have been forced into knowing who clavicular is. the fact that anybody can become famous, mixed with disregard for how stupid and bad the reason for that fame may be, will lead to our destruction
