IIRC elvis’s manager sold “i hate elvis” merch. It’s a long and storied industry

Tangential: The Better Business Bureau isn't affiliated with any government agency. At its best, it is a consumer advocacy group, but at its worst, it is a racket.

you’re pushing the “But on the other hand most hard quality of life indicators are up globally” line but like, the number of negative things you’ve listed is more than the positives.

I mean, it’s almost as if you are manipulating yourself into questioning and rejecting reality*. You should stop doing that

*there is no one word description for this action. Believe me, I looked, and I’d use it if it existed.

fwiw i attribute this to the stop doing x meme (that I believe skillissuer is referencing):

been thinking about making one for (memory) safe c++, but unfortunately I don’t know the topic deep enough to make the meme good

Ugh. Tangentially related: a streamer I follow has been getting lots of people in her chat saying that one of the taters wants to hire her. I've started noticing comments like "I love white culture" and weird fantasies about the roman empire. Historically she's also been asked multiple times what her ethnicity is (she is white), specifically if she is scandanavian, which I am starting to view under some kind of white supremacist lens. I've told her to ignore anything mentioning the taters or "top g" as one of them is known.

Honestly, I'm worried that she could get brigaded by these creeps, even if she shows no response whatsoever.

Ah, the highest form of art appreciation: badly designed surveys.
