wait, I have an idea for how the dems could gain favorability in key locations that could help them gain power that they can then use to enrich themselves, cement their legacies, and secure future elections instead of being deadlocked in arguments with single-mindedly cruel people.
What..? They don't give a fuck?
I spent 12 hours drafting up and summarizing all my findings for chapochat.hexbear.edu and it frustrates me so much that the FBI would intervene on my assignment from Langley. I was supposed to give a presentation on my findings which included all these answers too! I dressed up and not a single person showed up so I stopped half way through presenting to no one. I cried all the way home that day. Now this nonsense?! It blows my cover and it makes the posters even less likely to become voters for our favorite candidate (both of them). Johnathan China, my rival (if you'd even call him that - he's so much better than me), has integrated flawlessly and people laugh and joke around with him. Meanwhile our intelligence agencies are floundering, everyone on the message board hates me, and none of my coworkers respect me. They say I'll never be a real spy and I'm starting to believe them 
I just feel so atomized, alienated, and I don't know if a better world is possible.
Ummm actually it's PEAK fiction 
I guess I just have an easier time imagining myself in a position of power going "yeah, the status quo is tragic, but I'm making a lot of money off of it" as opposed to stumbling into a position of power by playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey completely blind to people's problems. Maybe they didn't ask "why?" enough as a child. It seems so insular! You'd have to have even avoided interacting with the opioid epidemic because there's plenty of stories of in-group people getting a broken ankle playing tennis, taking some prescribed opioids, and getting got. If you ever dare to ask "why were there so many opioids?" you'd find yourself back at capitalism. I pray to be awakened from any biases that would worm up my brain like that.
Yeah, I think it's always some combination of "if not me, then someone worse than me would have taken my spot, killed them, and two more people for the trouble." and "I was just following orders."
I don't know about optimal, but it is superior (i.e. more optimal) to ejaculating less if your only metric is risk of prostate cancer.
Old School RuneScape. It's bigger than ever and just had their winter summit where they announced a bunch of stuff coming down the pipeline. It's decades of work by different people piled on top of each other to make this world where you interact with all the resources to qualify to complete quests. The name of the game is self-motivation instead of following a path that's laid out for you. In that way, people have made these breathtakingly beautiful accounts and projects like fighting the hardest boss in the game having access to only a restricted capacity to navigate around the game map to collect supplies and gear.
The gameplay itself, however, is akin to having a double wide chest in Minecraft and clicking around your inventory for 12 hours. Then you have the requisite herblore level for a quest which is a click and point adventure where you talk to people and solve a puzzle for them. Then you have access to another training method which is 15% faster than what you were doing. Then you only spend 22 hours instead of 25 grinding out requirements for the quest you actually wanted to do in the first place. Every breakthrough moment allows you to do an even longer grind than you had just completed to get the breakthrough.
If I google poison ivy arkham asylum I get this. The most generous argument I could summize is why doesn't she have ivy growing everywhere? I would be down for more ivy on Poison Ivy. Even at his best, Kirk is making an unfunny joke
I want to retvrn to swords, comrades
Oh, give it 20 years
May God damn America and have Satan's roaches feast on it's rotten, fetid corpse
I managed to discover that with unassisted casual use really quickly. People are asleep at the wheel if they tried to give important duties to an AI. You don't let a dog drive your car and hope for the best
