Why did I watch that so many times?

I was mesmerized.

Welcome to personality disorder level narcissism.

Or it’s just a creative, figurative way to express a difficult concept.

Bill Hicks Recorded live at the Dominion Theatre, London, 1992:

By the way, if anyone here’s in advertising or marketing… kill yourself. [audience approval] Thank you. Just a little thought… Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are [in advertising/marketing], do [kill yourself — laughter] … There’s no rationalisation for what you do and you’re Satan’s little helpers, OK? Kill yourself, seriously. You’re the ruiner of all things good, seriously… No, this is not a joke. You’re going: “there’s gonna to be a joke coming”. There’s no fucking joke coming. You are Satan’s spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It’s the only way to save your soul. Kill yourself. [applause, laughter] … I know all the marketing people are going, “he’s doing a joke”… There’s no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail pipe, hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend. I don’t care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, “Oh, you know what Bill’s doing, he’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market, he’s very smart.” [laughter] Oh man, I’m not doing that, you fucking evil scumbags. “Ooh, you know what Bill’s doing now, he’s going for the righteous indignation dollar. That’s a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We’ve done research. Huge market. He’s doing a good thing.” Goddammit, I’m not doing that, you scumbags. Quit putting a goddamm dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet! “Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. Bill’s very bright to do that.” God, I’m just caught in a fucking web. “Ooh, the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market. Look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar…” God, how do you live like that? I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don’t you? “What did you do tonight honey?” “Oh, we made ah, we made ah, arsenic ah, childhood food now, goodnight.” [lies down and snores] “Yeah, we just said you know is your baby really too loud? You know?” [snores] “Yeah, it’ll… you know the mums will love it.” [snores] [stands up] Sleep like fucking children, don’t you? This is your world isn’t it?

68 must be all about the boobs. That’s what the calculator tells me.

Power has corrupted long, long before capitalism. Power and corruption are ancient beings.

Because money robs the intrinsic joys of life.

Lots of research proves it. Here’s just one example https://www.library.hbs.edu/working-knowledge/intrinsic-joy-sparks-ideas-better-than-cash

Also, money is literally power and no one handles power well. It corrupts and the more money the more it ruins people. It really is the root of all that’s bad.

It’s not a question of where he grips it!

Where’s the lightning bug table?

I get why suicides have increased since covid, and now with what our governments are up to, but what happened in 2018 that caused such a high spike in suicides? I googled it and reports of a spike in 2018 come up, but none of the articles offer any attempt to explain the increase.

Why is this guy always on the wrong side of things?

I agree that it’s awful. Why do you think they enable it by default? What’s their game?

This was done on the TV show, The Last Man on Earth.

I clung to Reddit for too long even though it sucked because it was awesome years ago and it was a habit.

One I joined here I started laughing again. Lemmy is so fun and funny. Reddit is just full of bots that don’t know what humor is and petty people who forgot how to laugh.

In with you and I’m still alive. Food is too expensive to throw out.

There are worst ways to die than keeling over after eating. I’ll take it.

I think she ate all the other creepy Black Hole Sun people and now she’s the Black Hole Sun Boss.

Can you imagine waking up and seeing that face staring at you?

Who approved this photo btw? Was this the best one of all of them they took? How much money do you have to have to get someone to help you look better than that in a photo? Like what?

Edit: oh no, whatever you do, do not zoom in, trust me

You had me at Ulfberth War-Bear.

Title leaves out “or passport.”

In a push to get you to think you must have a Real ID, I’ve noticed the media constantly leaves out or minimizes the fact that a passport is sufficient to get you through an airport or any other place a Real ID is required.

So no extra fee of you have a passport.

Like the show, The Last Man on Earth. I’d take that deal.

I was told they would be watching…
