Also, take it from a squid- clams don’t meditate. They’re big gooey messes of anxiety in a shell.

    Oh yeah, that’s totally what I’m doing by literally pointing out that they’re watching their users in my headline.

    I know “they’re spying on you” always entices me to subscribe to a service.

      Here’s what I got when I mentioned a popular 24hr American diner chain a month back:

      Pretty great. It made me rethink the post actually. Probably 1% of my comments/posts are indistinguishable from advertisements… sometimes I’ll end up self censoring.

      For example, did you notice I didn’t mention the diner was Denny’s, who for a limited time is INTRODUCING: THE BERRY WAFFLE SLAM® (Breakfast in a Liège of its own)?

        I didn’t know you could mention Denny’s without a story about someone winding up in a fistfight in the parking lot.

        We don’t have one where I live, and the rumor mill about why the last one closed was that it was the result of a knife fight one early early morning between a couple of prostitutes who got blood everywhere and the owner decided “fuck it, not worth keeping open.”
