I swear Walmart is Florida extract.

That's technically an action, not a speech... Well it was only a matter of time before I had to write another scene of utter and horrifying perversion.

What would you do with Florida extract anyway? Put it in a pie? Will that pie become high on bath salts and destroy a liquor store with a forklift?

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and my fingers are numb and tingly. I dunno if I just haven't been drinking enough or if it's because I haven't slept or something worse, and that has me scared, but I don't want to cop out of work especially since I need the money desperately and I don't want to pay to go to the local clinic, because I need the money for rent and my loans

Keep an eye on it, and tell your work that you have said issue that may result in you having to leave for urgent care.

Also, yeah, drink some water. Stay safe, mate. Life and limb above money.

A machine broke at work. Again. And hurt someone. Again. Same machine and same person as last time.

Apparently whoever repaired it last tied up an air bladder with some zip-ties.

Some dude on Robinhood the day-trading app exploited an oversight in how it tracks the money you've borrowed to generate 1.7 million dollars from a 2000 dollar deposit.  Dude is playing the IRL stock market with monopoly money and since there's no way in hell the kind of person who would make risky trades on 85,000% leverage has any assets, Robinhood is probably gonna have to eat it.

Startups: Not even once

The only way this could be worse is if he kept doing it and bought out Robinhood with their own money.

Oh, he and the autists at r/wallstreetbets are absolutely loving this, it may be their greatest achievement ever since the SEC investigation of the sub.

Thank you. I used to use reddit, before eventually not using it and forgetting I even have an account, which is still not used. I don’t remember why I got an account, or why I stopped using said account
