Can I have another one where each part is made up of this comic please?

I think the most interesting thing is that you don’t see any rage bait in that screenshot. It seems the grift is working as intended to me.

Edit: case, meet point

keep showing viewers the videos that we think they’ll love

We’ll keep profiling you and target you with videos that drive engagement, so largely things that inspire rage or conflict between you and others. Extra points if we drive your political and social views further to the right.

People mention his bluntness, even rudeness; his propensity for swearing; his intolerance of fools and stupid questions, and blistering responses thereto; his fondness for good beer, apparently in large amounts, and his consequent antipathy for early mornings; his passion for the things he cared about, which often could spill over into anger… and his subsequent regret and apologies. I’ve done much the same, and had similar written about me.

And he was from Lancaster!? Next you’ll tell me there’s water at the bottom of the ocean …

Et tu, SZA?

I agree with your point, but I feel like BLM has proven that you can make the wording simple enough for a child to understand and the “but it doesn’t include me, a straight cisgender white person!” crowd still willfully misinterpret it.

But any man’s toothbrush logout diminishes me

Because I am involved in brushing my teeth

“Oh, well you see, your desire to be good is due to a chemical imbalance in your brain blah blah blah, it represents an inferiority complex whatever something else, and you’re have an innate fear of what other people will think of you yadda yadda yadda-“

That’s all good and well, Mr Tate, but can you please answer the prosecution’s question

She’s going undercover at the Kwik-E-Mart

Ah game gear TV. Battery life meant nothing to you.

I need more information. Rinse aid costs a fortune, but I also hate spots.

Do you buy a particular brand of citric?

Also rinse aid feels quite oily to the touch, like dish soap, is it really just citric?

On one hand I initially thought you were crazy to think that. On the other hand I hate those haribo burger things because they give me the ick. So I guess we aren’t totally unalike.

Can you think of any other things that were previously classified as mental disorders but no longer are?

Maybe that’s not a fair question, maybe I’m just being hysterical.

It’s often not the speaker doing the editing, there are thousands of channels built around creating and releasing these cast-a-wide-net shorts to subtly drive you towards their goal of obsessively watching right wing vtubers saying things that compel you to be a selfish narcissist.

Yeah, for real. YouTube is essentially placing infinite bets that it can drive you into the rabbit hole. Watched a short of Dillahunty give Peterson a verbal wedgy? You must like big words, so here’s more Peterson! Watched a short of Joey Swoll telling people to be polite, because it rolled on automatically? Here’s an Andrew Tate wannabe with shrivelled nuts to subtly criticise you about your dad bod.

Obsession and radicalisation are one and the same to the algorithm, and both turn a targeted individual into a money printer. And fuck the consequences right? Because Google got theirs.

Is that the same thing sold as “frite sauce”? That stuff is the food of the gods

Interesting take and thank you for being detailed. Part of my problem is various commitments mean I only get short and sporadic spells to play these games, so forward planning feels like a chore when you want to get stuck in for 3 to 4 hours, but might not return for a week or two.

It sounds like the way you play here is the way I played the various Tycoon games (particularly Transport) when I was younger. Paper and pen optimisation was part of the grind and made it very fun.

Now I just want to get things going and bask in my barely working mess of a solution. (This probably makes it feel way more roguelike than it actually is!)

In that sense I guess Satisfactory might be structured enough to fit my schedule, but I’ll definitely be looking out for the things you mentioned.
