Is this a safe space to admit that the hamburger gag turns me on more than a little?
I think it goes beyond that. It's the Brave New World method. If the onslaught of information is so saturated with not only contradictory and conflicting information, but with unrelated items, as well ("Movie star talks about butt plugs on Leno, then we'll hear from Tom who has been following the latest on the leaked nudes fiasco..."), you won't have the mental resources available to engage yourself on the matter long enough to for an opinion; let alone speak out in support of it. Postman refers to it as the "And now... this!" of our media.
And this is floating in a dingy amidst a piss ocean of entertainment media. I've never seen movies and TV shows shot out of the corn hole at such a rapid fire.
That does somewhat speak to my creative originality and make me want to burn artistic bridges, to be honest.
Oh and I got my water bill. The good news: it was over $100 less than it was last quarter. The bad news: seriously dawg why did my insurance, water bill, AAA bill, dental bill, and Yule ALL HAVE TO HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME? During my poorest quarter, too, AND right when I need to buy that damn plane ticket. Geez.
I need to write this down so I can warn myself it's coming next year. December: Fuckin Expensive.
One thing that drives me crazy are all the people who seem to have absolutely no idea how to vet their news sources, who post tabloid-Naturalnews-Food Babe bullshit while claiming that Establishment Scientists are concealing the truth and working for Big Pharma, while meanwhile scientists are busily waving their arms trying to bring attention to climate change, ocean acidification, desertification, food supply vulnerability, bias, graft, lobbying, collusion between big business and government, species extinction due to habitat encroachment, how escalating cycles of hostility worsen the terrorist problem, and a host of other actual serious problems.
But no. The problem has to be cell phones and the vaccine conspiracy.
You probably mean it in a more broad sense in which i would agree, but the APA board and psychiatrists have been shown in investigations to be hot in bed with pharmaceuticals... but this im saying is a very specific thing about mental health treatment methodology, nothing to do with the anti-polio-cause-autism freaks.
Isn't that covered by collusion and graft, pretty much?
