I always knew about the elite drinking the blood of children conspiracy theories. Today I learned Adrenochrome is the chemical behind the theory. Conspiracy theory to us, for Peter Thiel, a Monday. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/08/peter-thiel-wants-to-inject-himself-with-young-peoples-blood

Getting anything from Starbucks is its own stupid tax.

Good thing I'm rolling on an expense report, babeee.

Immediate 50 cents extra for EVERY item in the Starbucks today. *sigh*

RFK is an absolute crackpot, that is still stealing Trump votes despite trying his hardest to go independent and criticize Biden (which caters to the Trump base, AGAIN) More power and publicity to him! Most of these are just R talking points which will further siphon Trump votes, However... Electora...

I am so F-ing confused by this one. I thought multiple reports, from our own intelligence agencies, said this was more likely to be hungover diplomats?

It's possible that it's just a super high bar to prove what is essentially an act of war against the US by Russia? And nobody wants that?

Like less than a million subscribers. It's absurdly higher than Reddit with a tiny tiny fraction of the user base and never posting a profit. It's somewhere between a meme stock and just straight legal money laundering.

- Sex with Gorlock. With eye contact, during. To completion.
- Never have sex again, ever.

One of those scenarios where it might be gay to not have sex with a man.

Could play. Waiting to hear back about a bid out on a new house so feeling nervous tonight. Destroying robots could help.

From my perspective I was just constantly doing drive byes with my slowly dwindling tank army and rebuilding infrastructure before Cake was just suddenly like "hey, I'm good to storm their bases now" and the bots rolled in.

Going for a quick run, grabbing some food, then and I'll be ready to go.

Up to play tomorrow.
