a new updated and significantly worse version of The Game (sorry) directed at a specific subset of chronically online people has infact been circling since the mid-2010s. and it is lost when one fumbles while attempting to plug their phone in to charge at night

a very goopy "Day That Molasses Tank Exploded In Boston 107 Years Ago" day to all who celebrate

SBK recommending themselves to vampires fans is kinda funny if you think about it.

Imagine you (wake up in a Walmart parking lot) go to the movie theater and watch a niche but really amazing horror movie. You walk outside the theater and go "man, that was amazing, I wish I had more to watch" and standing there is one of the actors you just watched die from a horrible situationship. And he goes "Hey, you just watched me in The Torment Nexus, have you considered watching my hit underrated TV show: Capitalism in the Sky? Or, the other show Torment Nexus: Winter edition?"

But have you?

metrical form: dactylic tetrameter catalectic rhyme scheme: AABBCCDDEE other notes: Line 1 replaces the second dactyl with a trochee. There is arguably a caesura after the second foot of each line: it’s the point at which the line 1 irregularity occurs and it’s often a sense break.
