  • So just a personal theory then?

    There was definitely a time when I would have called this seriously tinfoil-hat… but given the stuff that keeps coming out, the industries support for community recycling programs that they knew would never work, etc. I’m giving it a 7/10 for probably and a 10/10 for creativity ;-)

    Personally I tend to believe that generally well meaning people thought that paper straw technology would continue to improve, didn’t involve PFAS or microplastics… or that we’d all carry around a personal straw. But I do love the smoke filled room of mad men architecting a masterful conspiracy propped on the plastic shoulders of the humblest of columns.

  • Got any more info on the plastic straw plot? Because I’d love for that to be true, but I’m just getting craploads of articles saying the opposite.

  • What else ya’ got under that rock? Cuz’ these things brick themselves if you miss a monthly payment on your ink subscription.

  • I thought it was Covid but I’m starting to think he always looks like a plague victim in a renaissance painting…

  • I want to say 2-3, it was a quick job for sure ;-)

  • Pretty sure a Redditor coded it in a morning in response to this tweet.

  • Ah! I gotcha. Thanks for clarifying :-)

  • Assuming went=wont… I’m still not following. Cancer charaties will tell you what?

  • Probably didn’t know how to tell you she might die. They really don’t give you much advice on how to talk to people… in my case it was literally a grade school style fill-in-the-blanks in-case-surgery-leaves-you-a-vegetable tell them we can have your organs work-book.

    But also likely a bit of narcissism… I’m sorry. Nobody she find out that way.

  • Was announcing that he (literally) had the brain worms supposed to be good for his campaign? This seems like the sanest trend in politics for at least a decade.

  • “Son I’m going in for cancer surgery tomorrow. Everything will be fine… take care of your father, you know he’s basically useless on his own.”

    Literally 2 days ago. Don’t worry, she’s fine.

  • But we fixed this already, it was called TiVo…

  • Vast libraries of such disks once existed but we are unsure of what happened to them… but our scientists have identified a solid layer of polycarbonate about 50 feet down from the planets surface that may extend for miles.

  • It’s almost like they were designed around something round… I call it the data-wheel!

  • Can you get Vyvanse? That’s been my favorite for years, the time release mechanism makes for a nice smooth ramp-up which is nice.

    That said I don’t take it unless I’ve got a plan for the day. It’s equally easy to get sucked into something trivial or minor. If my brain is really fighting me I try to set time limits, and work in rounds.

    Have not found one specific drug that fixes everything so I can just flow through my days… but I’ve learned some better ways to cope.

  • Resorting the same 50 posts different ways ;-)
