Nazis getting fired

Sing along now

"If you're a Nazi and you're fired,
It's your fault!
If you're a Nazi and you're fired,
It's your fault!
If you were spotted in the mob,
and you lost your fucking job,
You're a Nazi, and you're fired!
It's your fault!"

ruining fast food with vore kink

I'd cry that I'm not into vore, but one of the jokes I've run with is that my phoenix form often ended up as deep fried original and extra-crispy pieces in buckets from KFP (Kentucky Fried Phoenix). Which is okay because phoenixes always regenerate, but also not okay because sometimes it happens early, while still inside of KFP customers.

ruining a song with vore kink

"Sweet dreams are made of this."
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas.
Everybody's looking for something.

Some of them want to taste you.
Some of them want to be your food.
Some of them want to baste you.
Some of them want inside of you.

@ticky Computers small enough to sit *on* a desk & not *be* a desk in its own right, & affordable enough to be in someone's home, had just hit the market, & 2018 sounded as far off into the 21st Century as anything the Jetsons promised. Mystifying, very mystifying, but believable.

"AI took my job!"

there's an alternate present in which the tool is not the enemy of the worker, when "you've been automated" means more weekends and cheaper, better stuff, rather than utter disenfranchisement and abject poverty.

Google+ security coverup, closure

‘A software glitch caused Google to expose the personal profile data of hundreds of thousands of Google+ users during the past spring and managers there chose not to go public with the information’

‘a memo prepared by Google lawyers and policy experts warned that disclosing the glitch would cause "immediate regulatory interest."’

Google has no interest in creating decent services or preserving any kind of legacy, & Google+ is now evidence of both. The 7-year-old service Google forced on millions of users in the face of massive breaches of privacy and trust is shutting down because their critics were proven right. https://www.blog.google/technology/safety-security/project-strobe/
