Sorry to hear that, fam. I hope it got better eventually.

So there must have been one day on which the Tethys Ocean was suddenly no more, right? I looked at the wikipedia page and it wasn’t clear.

Well let’s see… first we gotta figure out the analogy:

• carriers = posts promoting a product
• carrier escorts = posts commenting on and upvoting the “carrier” post
• torpedos/dive-bombs = bot-delivered replies that disparage “carrier” posts. They “hit” if they get highly upvoted
• fighters = bots that downvote carrier-fleet posts and upvote torpedo/dive-bomb replies
• carrier “screen” fighters = bots that post attacks on enemy fighters and munitions
• carrier AA fire = bots that downvote attacks by enemy fighter bots

The analogy is still a little clumsy… are “carriers” posts, or are they the bots that make the posts? etc. But a Midway-like battle would involve a modest but strategically-positioned product-promoting community that is about to be surprised-attacked by a rival, who will make several posts disparaging the product. But the attack is identified through corporate espionage. The posts are hard to find, so the “fighters” have to search for them but ultimately they do, and after fierce up- and down-voting, the attacking posts are deeply downvoted.

Because migrants are generally peaceful, non-violent people who just want to work hard and improve their lives.

ur gonna give birth to a meme.

Also elderly people. Me or other family buy groceries for an aunt, she has Amazon for emergencies.

fleet of accounts

I like the use of the term “fleet” in this context, bc it brings to mind the Battle of Midway but re-done with bots online.

Sounds like you were summoned by ouija board.

Yeah… reminds me of a very valuable lesson I learned during my college years.

Guatemala is awesome. The countryside is beautiful and the people are descended from one of humanity’s major civilizations, the Mayans.

I realize OP is only half-serious, but they still come off as really ignorant.

Most people hate school. Even the “smart kids”, what they really like is learning or knowledge, not school.

Homer listening to “Home” while watching “Home Alone” with the homies and a homing pigeon.

Oh, it’s a Japanese cartoon. They use metric hours instead of Imperial hours. So you’ll just have to keep waiting.

If you read the page, you’ll discover a way to remedy that.

More (bowel) moving than War-n-Peace. More slimy than Middlemarch. After this gets removed for not being a photograph, make sure you post it in a community that will better appreciate it.

I think the really wealthy old-money people would never say such a thing. Because such a thing just wouldn’t occur to them. And if someone said that to them, they’d just kind of smile and nod the same way they would to a toddler. Maybe say “Ah, yes, very good.” So that’s probably the best response.

But if I were writing a screenplay and had to come up with a one-liner I’d probably go with, “Just goes to show you can’t buy class.”
