What's up, home slices? Hope you guys are having a wonderful Sunday!



Based on 1-page dailies full of nothing but random GIFs, I take it MTurk is on its deathbed? :emoji_sweat_smile: That certainly sucks major balls. Wonder what most turkers moved on to? Real-life jobs? Crypto-related bullcrap? Illegally enriching uranium in their backyards and selling to rogue nations?

 

I wanted to make some joke about buying shares in the meme-mines, but then it kinda hit my how true it is that TV is no longer as active as it was when I started... and I got sad.

 

Certainly was a special corner of the web...

I feel like Internet in general kinda sucks these days. Many people seem to be retreating "underground" into their tiny private Discord channels / Telegram rooms and abandoning public spaces, which are now increasingly either ghost towns or overrun by bots. And the social media is just one giant mental asylum. Certainly feels like the end of an era of some sorts.

 

Good, let this mismanaged hole die finally.

 

Was just having lunch and going through some screenshots I made of interesting posts on here over the years, and found this gem from 2017. Probably the post that had the single greatest impact on me:

Spoiler: heavy stuff

Holy buckets... Definitely puts things into perspective, to put it mildly. I was just lurking at the time, but damn... that hit hard. Spent many showers re-evaluating a lot of shit in my life that week. :emoji_sweat_smile:

Also found this, LMAO :emoji_joy:
