Comment Speed reading (Score 1) 88

Does anyone else use those 'speed-reading' apps? They show you just one word at a time, and you can jack the speed up like crazy. I've found it great for reducing distractions and finishing more stuff, faster. There's a fine line between too fast to get the full experience from fiction, and just fast enough to let my brain translate the single word into the "scene" in my mind.

Because we are not the bottom of the barrel, obviously. Just more evidence we are living in a simulation - and not like a computer simulation, more like, the 5th dimensional supercomputer we call "brain" is literally creating this physical "layer" as we interpret it, and expansion is simply our "zone of influence" extending further the longer we exist

Wells Fargo was just the tip, I worked for BofA around this time and standard procedure was to get at least 3 signatures from each account opening, two checking and one savings. We were told to tell people "it's for online shopping so it's not tied to your main account!" We had coworkers getting upwards of 5 or 6 signatures for each account opening, without ever explaining to these people they were actually getting 5 checking accounts.

Ah yes. Because the federal government does not in fact actually just print however much money it needs. Did you know that when the US runs out of money, Congress has to ask mommy and daddy for a bridge loan until their next paycheck? Totally true. They tried using those stupid apps but it turns out if you want the money right away there's a $4.99 fee and Elon said no :(

"Involuntary Humans" - they already exist, they call themselves furries, and they are FORCING the government to spend BILLIONS in tax dollars on things like litter boxes and fake cat ears, which according to my research are now REQUIRED at all public schools. I mean, you don't have to wear the ears or use the litter, but still.

Now that eating ass is like 2nd base (maybe 3rd if you live in a repressive Southern christo-fascist state), I've found that a lot of people are far more aware of their wiping priorities. Remember, if you see baby wipes, it's on! Hell, even if you don't see 'em, eat it anyway! It's fun!
