Editor: The article is great! All we need now is a quote from social media and we can publish.

Journalist: We haven't been able to find anything suitable, everyone thinks this story is satire.

Editor: Then just post one yourself and then quote that! But don't reference your name, that'll be a dead giveaway.

Hard to cite a GPT reference.

For me at least, "said" has a link to https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR7mbL8g/

That link only takes me to the front page, but perhaps if someone has a tiktok account that goes to a video (a tik? Tok? Whatever it's called).

This is like that comic today with the Viking. "History is written by the winners" he has to literally sit down with quill and parchment....

It does go to show that people sometimes don’t think ahead. They seem to have only ever considered the present and now reality hit them in the face lol. Similar happened to Trump when he was elected and suddenly had to…you know…work.

Which is deeply ironic considering how they founded themselves as a rebellion against the "false gods" of capitalism communism and democracy.

If your government is the US one, the answer is a resounding yes.

If you're in the US, doing that would save tens of millions of lives, both in the US and across the world.

The dog caught the car.

Reminds me of this wise quote from Walter Sobchek:

"Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, but at least it's an ethos!"

True covalence is the basis of a mutually-fulfilling relationship.

If every one of your relationships is either you giving up an electron or stripping it off some poor cation who then has to stick to you until you give it back, it’s easy to think that bonding is a zero-sum game, and that dominance is the only way to lead.

So yeah, Taliban definitely needs to unionize.

It's amazing how fast you can arrive at the right conclusion when you don't have a bunch of billionaires with media and politicians in their pockets 🤷

I mean, it's not like you should expect much from the magazine that ran this cover on purpose:

Who would you cast as the Jim and the Dwight? I'm thinking Hasan Minhaj and Romesh Ranganathan.

One's Indian and the other's Sri Lankan, but it's close enough for Hollywood/BBC, amirite? 😛

Maybe even a pizza party if they reach the quota!

The largest military in the world occupied their country and gave them billions in equipment to keep it and they let the taliban retake everything in weeks. I don't think there is going to be any better opportunity then that. It's obvious that the fighting population already made their choice, and now everyone just has to enjoy it.

They did, they wanted this.
