But that's not the worst one for me. There was a time period where I didn't actually sleep for about a week maybe two. However, I can't be certain of how long it was because towards the end I started taking micronaps where I would be in the middle of a conversation and pause for like 20 seconds and it was obvious to other people that I had fallen asleep mid-sentence but then I would invariably wake back up again.
When that spell finally broke, I had just finished work and I got that little signal that says I'm about to fall asleep and I was so excited.
However, I was catching a ride with friends and I had to wait for them to bring me home and they had to go to the grocery store and I have vague staticky memories of fondling chicken breasts in an inappropriate manner and following behind other people way too close like the kind of close that would get me maced, and then running through the store telling every single person that I met that this bottle of beary bear brand syrup was my friend and he would protect us.
Entertaining after the fact, not fun to go through, 1/10 do not recommend.
We wouldn't be saying these things if we didn't need help.
The problem is that you interpret our cries for help as manipulative tactics to get our way rather than the intended desperate cry for the world's leaders to do things that make the world a better place instead of using our misery as a profit vector.
Sorry that's too complicated for you to understand.
How is it that so many companies can literally skin another company and wear its skin as a bodysuit and we do not collectively recoil in psychological horror?
How are so many people germane to this concept?
This is invasion of the body snatchers but for companies that determine the livelihood of essentially every human being on the planet. It's fucking terrifying.
If I can transport things back and forth, I would probably go and max out a credit card and buy all of the gold that I can to bring with me for trade.
Then I would go to the library of Alexandria and use my cell phone to get photocopies of as many books as I possibly can, and in the downtime I would go to any open Street markets and purchase any cool relics that I can find.
Then I could come back and share some of the Lost books of Alexandria with the world and also have period correct relics that have somehow magically not been exposed to a thousand years of environmental corrosion.
Then again, that would probably also mess up their radioisotope dating but I don't know if it's specific enough to only cover a thousand ish years.
Maybe if I have a little more time to prep I can find some place that I know hasn't been Disturbed and like put them in an airtight safe and store them for me to go back and ReDiscover now.
I've always suspected that Stephen Hawking's time traveler party did happen and there were many people there but Hawking's agreed to tell everyone that no one showed up.
I bet they also made a clone of Hawkings and left the clone behind and took the real him to the Future with them.
He's probably partying in 2743 right now in an 18 year old body, surrounded by beautiful futuristic space babes with neon hair and skintight glitter clothes.
I was going to say, it's starting to sound more like the EU is just taking kickbacks in a circuitous legal manner rather than via a shady under the table deal with men and trench coats exchanging packages of unmarked bills.
I mean, in the last 5 months how many times has the EU fined meta or google?
If you really want to make a message that sticks, you ban the danger sites from operating in your collective and then fine them for their past misdeeds.
If you want to be seen as lenient, you then set down a list of objectives that the site must adhere to in order to be reinstated in the collective.
Anything short of that is just lining your pockets. I mean, what is the money being used for?
I don't know what normal people do but people like me don't see ads because they use the appropriate protections from the invasiveness of the internet.
