literally just trying to stay alive until my mother passes away, just so she doesn't have to bury a child. Then it can finally be over.
Like, I got personal reasons I think life sucks, but boy howdy I have no shortage of "big picture" reasons too. The future is bleak, at best.
There are a lot of Republicans I need to outlive before I throw in the towel.
Because when you're down in life, nothing quite helps like getting fat, diabetes and cavities.
Treat yourself to even more problems!
I know I do
Was this an actual real post or satire?
I genuinely have no clue.
I don't think the marketing people for a billion dollar corporation would be that bold.
Welcome to the 2024. This year's presidential election will have exclusive live coverage on election night, from your official election coverage team....The Onion. No word on if they'll still deal in satire on the night, but it is confirmed that it will be absurd.
I would absolutely love for this to happen
I think it's just an advertisement for Snickers. Gross.
The sign of a successful ad campaign is when the campaign itself gets satirized to continue to build on brand awareness.
But that only works if the satirization is still somehow stylistically distinct to be recognizable as a satirization of your brand.
You could put Wendy's, Walmart, Northrup Grumman, Tyson, Bank of America, whatever, into this, and just change the last line a little bit, and I still would not be able to determine if its satire or not.
Twofold reasons:
1 Corporate Advertisement in general is almost completely stylistically played out. Almost everyone has tried almost every approach. It's all just blended together, at least for me, into 'insert nearly any kind of rhetoric or style or music or imagery here' followed by: So buy the thing.
Sure, there are still some general trends for certain marketed product types ... but ...
2 Is anything on Twitter/X genuine? First we had a whole bunch of brand accounts acting like increasingly twitter brained idiots, then we had Musk's disastrous takeover and blue check fiasco with people impersonating corpo accounts running wild, now the bots are even more widespread AND the general corpo trend seems to be 'yes actually just have AI generate/do everything', why wouldn't text only posts currently be able to be handed over to an edgy ChatGPT model?
Like... this image, the account has some kind of silver tick or badge or something.
Is that from older Twitter era meaning its verified?
Was the account hacked?
Was this image photoshopped?
....
Can you even tell the difference between a serious idiot, an unserious troll, or a bot mimicking one of those, without an investigation?
I went on chatgpt and said "Write an advertisement that plays on the fears of gen z then suggests they eat a snickers". It returned almost the same as above.
Boy you guys talk so much about student debt that I'm very thankful to not have it
I worked full time through college. So much that it often interfered with the time that I needed to be spending on study. I still owe $40k.
My ex husband who’s billionaire family paid his tuition while I paid our bills owes nothing of course.
I worked part time through college. Summers I had two part time jobs, and a couple summers three that worked with my schedule. Started school with about 10k in savings and finished about 12k in debt.
Edit: I'm also super frugal. Found cheap food, cheap/free furnishings/clothes, cheap housing, pirated textbooks, and rode a bicycle and took the bus to get around.
Wish I could have afforded the time for some unpayed opportunities. Really struggling to find a decent job at the moment. (Studied math at a top university with fairly significant cs experience and decent gpa).
Wouldn't not recommend college, but man not feeling too good about it at the moment in terms of job opportunities (certainly wouldn't trade the experience and what I've learned for anything though)
Thank goodness my "third world country" offers free tuition for uni. 🤩
The US used to, too. But then a retired mediocre actor decided education was a privilege, not a right
That's so cynical that I would almost kinda respect it if I didn't hate marketing on principle.
Well you can just buy that check mark, and I have trouble believing the advertising people at Snickers are bold enough to actually post this, so it's probably satire
You can also just Photoshop or edit the page source to make it say whatever you want
That's cheating, and someone could catch you.
Not me of course; that would require actually checking Xitter
Yeah, low blood sugar does that... wars and shit.
I am not 35. I'm 34.
Give it some time…
No.
I genuinely can't tell if this is fake. I fucking hate this world. Anyone want to team up to build a time machine and travel the future until the perfect utopia is achieved?
Anyone want to team up to build a time machine and travel the future until the perfect utopia is achieved?
How about we team up and try to make this world better instead?
We’re probably more likely to see a return to feudalism, with the wealthy getting worshipped as god-kings and regular folks going back to being illiterate peasants working the land for their overlords.
Lace it with LSD and it'll fix my outlook on life for about six months until reality wears me down again.
I used to do this and it helped my mental state a lot. LSD refresh every 6-12 months.
A full 6 months of good outlook from some acid??? Geez you getting good returns!
Hmmmmm. I should try drugs.
Try a lot of some drugs, a little of others, and none of bath salts.
Drugs.
Start before you stop
I stumbled on this video like a decade ago, no idea how it has such low views. It's a gem.
Nihilist Arby's all over again.
Jokes on you, I'm only 25!
Only thing I can promise you with somewhat high degree of certainty is that you won't stay that way for long. 2-3 years tops.
I miss Nihilist Arby's.
"You’re older than you’ve ever been, younger than you’ll ever be again, and you’re also a pointless biological accident in an entropic void and your sentience literally has zero significance
Eat Arby’s"
One more plastic wrapper for the fire!
